There Is A Major Climate Issue Hiding In Your Closet: Fast Fashion. This month as world leaders meet in Morocco to discuss implementation of the Paris climate agreement, which recently entered into force as most major economies began committing to some kind of carbon emissions reduction, there is little talk about one major contributor to climate change: fast fashion.
Fashion has been largely left out of the Paris climate talks. There’s lots of chatter about the more . . . fashionable low-hanging fruit: energy efficiency, conservationism, or the ramp up of renewables. But there’s little talk about textiles and what we’re wearing. And in light of U.S. election results and the prospects of the next American president’s rejection of the Paris agreement, it is critical, now more than ever before, to focus on something nonfederal, like fashion. It might be one of the only climate fronts we can effectively tackle in a Trump administration. Given the void here, it’s time to discuss exactly what is at stake. That’s fast fashion and it’s ruining our planet.

Fashion week has been hijacked by the real world.
For decades, “the shows” existed in a champagne bubble, a parallel universe in which celebrities were jammed together on long benches, as if for a very glamorous school photo, and where mysterious diktats – Navy is the New Black; Minimalism is Dead – were pronounced six months ahead of time, as if by a cabal of fortune tellers. But this is 2016, and identity politics has trumped everything else. From Brexit to the presidential election, public debate centres on issues not of policy, or economics, but of class, race and gender. On social media, if you are not cooing over cute panda videos you are probably debating a hashtagged identity issue – Kim Kardashian and the politics of nude selfies, or diversity at the Oscars.

This 12th edition of our annual flagship event builds on the question “Is the sharing economy a sharing world?” We will consider the implications of the sharing economy mega-trend for traditional businesses and international corporations. What will be the impact on international policies, workforce, innovation, ethics, entrepreneurship, urbanism, international business, climate change…? Are we using this trend to make sure we live in a sharing world, or to increase inequalities?

When did street style become more important than the catwalk? It seems that the majority of the coverage of fashion weeks is not of the clothes on the runways but the ridiculous ones worn by people at the shows.
Why is this? And isn’t this kind of blatant attention-seeking a bit tragic? Now-stalgia: why fashion is obsessed with looking back. The two most memorable shows of London fashion week had a common theme: memories.
Ryan Lo’s fantasia collection of clothes (ruffles and balloon trousers in sweet-shop colours) recalled Pierrot. The rainbow wave was helped along by a triple whammy of music: A Whole New World from Aladdin, Immortality by Céline Dion and Walk Like an Egyptian by the Bangles. The 90s are back: how to get the look right. ‘Do you remember the first time?”
Jarvis Cocker sang, way back in 1994. More than 20 years later, it’s a pertinent question. The 1990s – the decade that saw a snake-hipped, NHS-specs-wearing Cocker become a sex symbol, Sara Cox crowned a ladette and Will Smith arrive as The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air – is back. This year’s shows were full of throwbacks, from Saint Laurent’s slip dresses and Courtney Love crowns to Chloé’s Britpop trackie tops, while on the high street you’ll find beanies (very My So-Called Life) and mom jeans (high waist, slim ankle – think Beverly Hills 90210).
Any revival involves sorting through the flotsam and jetsam of a decade to find the pieces that still look fresh today. What Britain’s Brexit Means for Fashion Brands — and Shoppers. Why High-End Designers Are Adopting the Hanes Model. LSN : Behaviours : Transferrable targets.
