The fashion industry is estimated to be responsible for up to 8% of global greenhouse gas emissions, with clothing production doubling over the past 15 years. Urgent action is needed as the environmental impact continues to grow: on average, textile consumption in the EU has the fourth largest impact on the environment and climate change after food, housing and mobility. Following UNEP’s recent high-level event in Brussels, “Threads of Change”, UNRIC spoke to the co-founders of Bakermat, a Belgian company that aims to empower designers to create sustainable products.

Between July 12 and 14, Anant Ambani married Radhika Merchant. If he weren’t the son of Asia’s richest man, Mukesh Ambani, and she weren’t the daughter of pharmaceutical tycoon Viren Merchant, their wedding would have been as harmonious as any happy Indian wedding: a five-month-long Mumbai ceremony (the engagement ceremony, at which Rihanna performed, took place in March) was a gaudy, stomach-churning display of opulence that cost a reported $600 million. While the Ambanis were going through these ceremonies, the world was awash in images of some of the world’s richest people in attendance — A-listers from Bollywood and Hollywood,…

Let’s start with the stapler. Courtesy //Getty Images”I’m not interested in trends at any age. Everyone should have timeless, chic, and sophisticated style. It’s good to have staple pieces that never go out of style, like a white blazer, a cream blouse, a black sweater.” — Ashley PruittOpt for more delicate jewelry.

In 2019, Oprah featured Orolaei’s women’s heavyweight down jacket as one of her “favorite things,” turning the design into a seasonal staple and must-have item after Prime Day 2024. The sitewide shopping event has ended, but outerwear items are marked down to under $100 for a limited time. This coat first became popular five years ago and remains popular today, thanks to its affordable price as well as…

It’s mid-July, the peak of the NHL Draft and free agency frenzy is over, and the Blue Jackets are starting to look ahead to the 2024-25 season but aren’t making any major changes to their lineup. Sure, a few players have come in and a few have left, but overall, new general manager Don Waddell hasn’t completely turned the tide for the Blue Jackets in his first season at the helm. And in many ways, it makes a lot of sense. Waddell spoke highly of the team’s promising prospect pool when he was hired by the team in May. While…

Parisian ready-to-wear brand Coperni openly wears its affinity for icons of youth from long ago. Take for example the label’s CD-PLAYER Swipe Bag, released late last year. The design harkens back to an all-too-brief era when digital innovation had yet to fully define analog-centric lifestyles for the masses. Their latest offering, the Coperni x Transparent Speaker Jacket Blast Nostalgia, turns up the volume on nostalgia to another level. The avant-garde, ’70s-inspired leather jacket, unveiled at Paris Fashion Week, was conceived by Coperni co-founders Sébastian Meyer and Arnaud Vaillant just two months before the label’s runway show. Swedish sound company Transparent,…

But the fact that fashion is making football uniforms – and with them the sport itself – more accessible goes beyond their aesthetic qualities. Designer and fashion lecturer Hattie Crowther has been working with football tops since 2019 (first creating corsets), using her jerseys to critique and shift the traditionally closed narrative around football. She created a bespoke corset for Trami Benson for the Euros final.”Turning something as traditionally masculine as a football jersey into something that can be owned by anyone — women, queer, transgender — is incredibly important to me,” Crowther says. “I want to challenge the idea…

The Voice of Fashion is an online fashion and design magazine. With a totally different approach to covering the latest fashion trends and the Indian fashion industry, TVOF is an online platform featuring news, opinions, opinion pieces, reportage, photo features, narrative style stories and shopping lists. It is a fashion magazine with loads of reading material, videos and news. Most fashion magazines do not feature in-depth articles analysing Indian fashion from a design and political perspective. The Voice of Fashion not only does in-depth interviews with Indian fashion designers through articles and videos but also explores the culture and essence…

According to a study, global clothing consumption generated more than 20 million tonnes of plastic waste in 2019, of which around 40% was improperly managed and potentially contributed to environmental pollution, a process known as “plastic leakage.” Researchers from North Carolina State University separated textile waste into two sources: clothing made from synthetic materials like polyester, nylon and acrylic, and clothing made from cotton and other natural fibers. They also looked at plastic waste generated throughout an apparel product’s “value chain” – the entire life cycle of a product, which includes, for example, not just the apparel product itself but…
