Sorry but no, I’ll reply – I’m sure we can find an alternative on Vinted. “One person buying something new won’t make any difference,” she argues. “And besides, it’s so cheap!” There is sulking (her), tutting (me), and dissatisfaction all round.As a fashion writer focused on sustainability (or lack thereof), my daughter’s pestering grates, yet I sympathise – what tween doesn’t want to fit in? Meanwhile, my…

Fashion for TV shows is a bit like the restaurant industry. It’s a rich, untapped source of detail and conflict, hampered by the logistical complexities of bringing that closed world to the screen.

PARIS — If the Paris Summer Games can be called the “Fashion Olympics,” Dior has won the gold medal, according to a report by Launchmetrics that measured Media Impact Value (MIV) during the Games. The brand raised $53 million in MIV through the games, much of which was generated when Celine Dion and Lady Gaga wore the LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton-owned brand at the opening ceremony.

She talks to the BBC about her extraordinary career.”Biba attracted troublemakers or people who liked to make trouble,” asserts Barbara Hulanicki, the ever-energetic founder of the legendary British 1960s and 70s label and four boutiques, now aged 87. Her cutting-edge retail ventures culminated in its largest, final incarnation, the seven-storey Big Biba, which occupied the former Art Deco Derry & Toms department store on London’s Kensington Hight Street.

I remember the outfit I wore on my first day of third grade. It was a pair of camouflage cargo pants and a red T-shirt with a bright yellow smiley face printed on it, with a newsboy cap tilted to the side. I wore it with a baby blue beaded choker necklace.

I think there are many people who have this kind of core…
