Laborer Due To Personal Reasons I'll Be Keeping My Distance From Stupid People T-Shirt

Super Bowl LIV Kansas City Chiefs vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers 2021 shirt Some of the Super Bowl LIV Kansas City Chiefs vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers 2021 shirt in contrast I will get this gender fluidity came in less-expected forms. The shorts, which have been a mainstay of his women’s collections from the very beginning, made their men’s debut, as ragged denim cut-offs paired with a lean pinstriped jacket or an oversize trench. The blown-up proportions of the latter underscored the softer, looser—sensual, even—approach Vaccarello took here. It was a first for him, an indication he’s finding his comfort level with his men’s while also being able to dig in and challenge himself. “I love it now,” he said. “It might sound selfish to say this, but I really project myself into the pieces. I’m trying everything on.” Even, he said, the finale looks, a terrific line-up of super-wide, super-fluid black pants, in gauzy knit or crushed pleated silk, billowing and flowing from a high and often belted waist. Vaccarello showed them as the gray-skied swelling Pacific Ocean finally slid into darkness, but it looked a whole lot more like him seeing things in a new light. For all the ideas that Chitose Abe brought to these men’s and women’s collections, nothing was as surprising as her shout-out to The Big Lebowski. Sure, we have now come to expect fashion’s supreme remixer to place quotes within her collections; but “The rug really tied the room together” from the cult film felt especially left-field like some sort of creative non-sequitur. Could it be that Abe equates her signature hybridization to the rug? Not quite. Backstage, we learned that it was the “tying together” part that interested her and that she did this with two “familiar” pieces rather than her usual clashed combos. Wardrobe archetypes gray suit, a trench, a tuxedo, her standby MA1 jacket all figured in this new exercise, which gave the impression of a more dressed-up lineup, even if each look registered the same swingy nonchalance as always. Two of the highlights came right at the start: the tuxedo shirt and pants fused into a roomy dress, undone bowtie included, followed by the reworkings of suit jackets and shirts. Some looks were tied together based on proportions; see the mini MA1 vest over an inside-out jacket or else doubled-up denim jackets. Interestingly, the looks embellished with sequins gave off the same trace of grunge as some of the more obvious sun-struck flannels and mountaineering pants made in collaboration with Gramicci. Towards the end, men’s looks presented permutations of matching shirts and jackets in superpositions that would require buying both to achieve the same effect.

The word backstage doesn’t really fit the St.Patrick’s Day Slooth one lazy and lucky irish shirt besides I will buy this Palazzo Vecchio’s sumptuously frescoed courtyard, where the pre-show mayhem was in full swing. “No fashion show has ever been allowed in Piazza Della Signoria before,” said Andrew. “So this is definitely a major first.” It was also the first show with the designer in the role of creative director of both the men’s and women’s lines, and the first time that Ferragamo staged a fashion show in its hometown of Florence. The label contributed to the recently completed restoration of the majestic Fountain of Neptune, which dominates Piazza Della Signoria, the city’s beating heart. “It was this idea of coming home for Ferragamo,” said Andrew. “I thought, how epic would it be doing my first men’s show during Pitti, which celebrates its 30 birthday this year, with this spectacular fountain as a backdrop.” A little ego trip definitely goes a long way. Though everyone thought the idea was bonkers, Andrew persisted and lots of lengthy negotiations with the city mayor ensued. “And voilà! Here we are,” he exclaimed. To top this magnificent location, only a fashion show in Rome’s Saint Peter’s Square would do, but negotiating with the Pope would probably be a much trickier matter. As an homage to the city, a series of prints abstracting Neptune’s impressively toned torso graced a series of loose shirts and lightweight parachute parkas in delicate pastel hues. The charming, rather feminine color palette neutral tones breaking into more vibrant shades of sky blue and orange, softened by hints of lavender, mint, and periwinkle was one of the distinctive traits of the collection, which revolved around workwear templates rethought with a more formal, luxe flair, but without losing a sense of lightness. I would just like to point out that the money supply is part of the total wealth. The amount of total wealth that the money supply comprises can vary considerably, but if one wanted to figure out the real value of the money supply, then like any other form of wealth, we can use the inflation rate. So for example, if we had a money supply of 22 million dollars in the current year, it would be worth 20 million dollars 5 years ago, and its contribution to the total real wealth of the current year would be 20 million dollars. In real terms, 22 million dollars today is equal to 20 million dollars in the anchor year. Buy this shirt:  St.Patrick’s Day Slooth one lazy and lucky irish shirt Duck beer frunk as duck shirt It feels really personal to me,” said Robert Cavalli of his Florentine dandy-meets–British punk Spring collection. Indeed. What’s more personal than staging a presentation at your mother’s home? If the Duck beer frunk as duck shirt but I will buy this shirt and I will love this mother in question is Eva Cavalli, then expect the home to be lavish. Her Florentine apartment, ensconced in a noble palazzo in the heart of the old city, boasts a magnificent secret garden, lush with century-old trees overlooking an ancient monastery and a church. Models and guests were lounging on the lawns, seemingly without a care in the world. At his label Triple RRR, the young designer is honing a languid aesthetic infused with an underground vibe. He has a penchant for a decadent Renaissance mood and favors opulence of fabrications and flamboyant yet elegant silhouettes, which he undercuts with irreverence and a flair for subversion. His signature robes de chambre in silk satin were worn over denim and with combat boots, and strict British-inspired tailoring was smoothed with almost feminine accents, as in ribbon belts cinching the waists of elongated blazers. Slender suits were given a sensuous finish via sumptuous mauve silk moiré, while a Prince of Wales jacquard suit was printed with red tigers and esoteric symbols. A little homage to Vivienne Westwood never hurts. It’s well known that the Cavalli family is fond of keeping a menagerie of exotic animals as domestic pets (think snakes, monkeys, iguanas); the young Robert doesn’t stray from tradition. He drew inspiration from his 25-year-old parakeet, Tommaso, the presentation’s guest of honor, whose colorful plumage was reproduced as a painterly print on a denim jacket and matching pants, or on a liquid silk robe coat, worn with a pale blue metallic leather biker. But beyond his family legacy, Cavalli is carving a place for himself in the fashion arena. If he keeps true to his quite personal mix of romantic, sensual rebelliousness, it’ll be interesting to follow his label’s future steps. So this shows Keynes’ awareness that in reality spending does not represent the depletion of wealth. He realized that the solution for production shortages in a situation where we have un- or underutilized resources, (including un- or underemployed people), is to increase spending, not to decrease spending. He realized that the increased spending will, for the most, part lead to increased employment of resources and increased net production of wealth. He showed that in such a situation, due to the effect of producing new wealth and preserving current wealth, increased spending can cause increased total wealth, and a higher standard of living, and improved quality of life.

Why did so many models wear waistcoats that looked like they’d been forcibly wrenched to the left of the body in a bar fight? And the kangaroo pocket pleat-bib shirt smocks? What was with Mickey Mouse? Does Tom Ford say long johns are an outerwear option now when did you get that memo? “This is all just my style,” said Takahiro Miyashita, his expression obliquely refracted through his John Lennon glasses after this interesting show. The collection seemed to be a kind of imaginative boyhood view of tropes of uniform the clothes that authority figures wear all messed up by a purposely blurred focus. There was a heavy gestalt feeling at play, yet the parts that made up the sum were in fact the meat and potatoes of this richly blended stew of auto-referential menswear. This was a collection based upon the aspirations of manhood we aspire to when immature, eroded by the knowledge gained through maturity. It was about lost love squandered and idiocy. Yes, it was also about a collaboration with Converse that introduced a new pimp-soled postmodern expression of Chuck. The collection was called Duet, but it was really a series of duets between Miyashita and his references. Between them, they created a handsome, soaring chorus in which the disappointment inherent in aspiring to fit into the uniform of masculine codes and then falling short of their impossible standards, hung long and slow in the air. Miyashita called this “a love song for fashion” and it was real love, true love, tough love. With externally worn underwear baring your soul, Soloist style. Textile company Albini collaborated with the designers to create a deckchair-striped cotton poplin which had a vaguely penitentiary feeling in all-over outfits for men. And then there was that catnip slogan tank-tee. It was taken directly from the shirt in a photo by Stanley Stellar of an attendee at 1995’s Wigstock Festival in New York, and those inverted-commas so hot right now made it especially funny. But if this show represented “fashion” or just fashion in Milan this afternoon, then it was pretty hard to hate. The first part, the savings that is the preservation of investment does not represent any change in the level of wealth. Reducing spending will not, in and of itself, cause any reduction in the level of wealth. This is because whether a given amount of money is used for spending or not, it still exists in the same amount at the end of the given time period. Buy this shirt:  Valentine’s Day Gnome love shirt Valentine Day heart with virus shirt Buy this shirt:  Valentine Day heart with virus shirt Totoro I hate morning people and mornings and people t-shirt The price of fabric changes at scale too. If Stanley, Roche, and Romy could triple the Totoro I hate morning people and mornings and people t-shirt besides I will buy this size of their businesses, perhaps their prices would come down a little, but that isn’t their goal. The larger a company gets, the more difficult it becomes to keep track of the supply chain; we all remember how certain well-known brands didn’t even know their clothes were being produced in the collapsed Rana Plaza factory. Understanding scale also explains why a higher price doesn’t always equate to better fabrics and fair labor. A polyester dress might retail for $400 because the label produced it in small quantities and paid its workers—but it’s still polyester, and you shouldn’t waste $400 on something so environmentally damaging. Or maybe the brand made it in huge quantities and used cheap labor, but hiked the price to convince you it’s an elevated product. There’s always going to be confusion when it comes to price, and some brands are always going to value “brand equity” over their workforces. The only way you’ll really know if a price is worth your hard-earned cash is by digging deeper and demanding transparency from the brands you support. On the luxury side, designers and retailers are actively discussing how to become open and honest about price and quality. By explaining the origin of their fabrics, how their clothes are made, and who makes them, the hope is that customers will shop more confidently and will be motivated to invest in the story, not just the product or trend. In theory, that concept of mindful consumption could eventually trickle down to the high street. It isn’t going to fix climate change or fashion’s murky supply chain, but it’s the best way we can begin to make a difference—and by “we,” I mean those of us in the privileged position of having money to spend and the headspace to refine our shopping habits. The common rebuttal to the “fewer, better” approach is that some people can’t afford to pay more for clothes, and that’s absolutely true. But lower-income shoppers aren’t the ones creating the mess; they aren’t buying a new dress every week and then throwing it out. The people abusing the system are the ones who could afford to buy fewer, higher-quality items, and it’s our responsibility to use our power and influence to raise the bar for everyone else. Buy this shirt:  Totoro I hate morning people and mornings and people t-shirt Tom Brady TB12 Tampa Bay Buccaneers Super Bowl shirt Another designer might cut her costs by using cheaper fabrics or cheaper labor, but Stanley is committed to her family-run factory in Delhi, India, and won’t compromise on high-quality, organic fabrics. The only way she could lower her prices would be to take less profit or transition her business to a direct-to-consumer model, eliminating the Tom Brady TB12 Tampa Bay Buccaneers Super Bowl shirt so you should to go to store and get this retail markup. (Given the state of department stores, many of her peers are likely thinking the same thing.) In the meantime, the best thing she can do is educate her customers about precisely why her new hand-embroidered organic cotton dress costs $550. Stanley openly shared the cost breakdown here: $24 covers the organic cotton and dyes; the intricate handwork comes in at $48, because it took an embroiderer a full day to make the dress; production labor, including sewing, pattern-making, sampling, finishing, and packing, was $48; trims, including the labels, hang tag, and dust bag, were $5; shipping was $8; and duties were $24. Her total cost came to $157, and in order to keep the final price lower, she took just a 1.59x margin, bumping the wholesale price to $250. (This means Stanley would earn $93 in profit when a store orders the dress.) With the typical retail margin of 2.2x, the final price tag on the rack in a boutique is $550. I’ve been trying to make it a point to tell the story of my clothes, but it’s hard to be honest and say, ‘This is my cost, this is how much I make on this piece, this is why you should support my brand and the people who made it,’” Stanley says. “I love going to a store, and I have friends who have boutiques and work so hard. They deserve to make that margin, but the retail markup is really why clothes get so expensive. That’s where I get stuck.” If you’re of the “buy less, buy better” mentality, it isn’t hard to justify the higher price. Plenty of Stanley’s customers are investment-minded and care about her commitment to ethical, sustainable, small-batch production, but some still need to be convinced that it’s “worth” buying one of her dresses instead of five cheaper versions. Lucette Romy, the founder of The Wylde, an organic label handmade in Bali, has had similar conversations with her customers about the higher price of organic cotton, botanical dyes, and dignified labor. “But it often isn’t enough to change their minds,” she says. So she found another way to get the point across: Every item on her site comes with a cost-per-wear breakdown. Her new organic cotton dress goes for 260 Australian dollars, or $178, but if you wear it 10 times, it’s $18 per wear. Buy this shirt:  Tom Brady TB12 Tampa Bay Buccaneers Super Bowl shirt Tom Brady Tampa Bay Buccaneers t-shirt There’s merit in investing in timeless pieces like quality jewelry and clothing that are built to last (even though purchasing a Cartier watch may not always be plausible). In the Tom Brady Tampa Bay Buccaneers t-shirt What’s more,I will buy this long run, it’s more advantageous both economically and for the environment to invest in fewer, more expensive pieces crafted to withstand time, rather than indulging in trend-forward pieces that may not hold up physically or aesthetically after a few wears. Buying quality jewelry is not just about achieving a good cost-per-wear ratio— investment pieces are about longevity too. A classic piece that feels perfectly aligned with your style tends to age with grace, making it feel even more valuable as time presses on. Maybe the watch or ring you buy now will become a family heirloom, or maybe it’s something you’ll want to wear for decades. A classic trench coat will always be a wardrobe staple in transitional weather. From quality jewelry to clothing, here are the investment pieces that will stand the test of time and may even be history in the making. Read that again, and the idea of a T-shirt being “worth” $5 might seem preposterous, if not criminal. How is it possible that all of those materials, logistics, and people amount to just dollars or cents? Many of those costs are fixed; the price of cotton isn’t negotiable, even at scale. The person who made the T-shirt, on the other hand, is a lot easier to exploit. It would be reckless to claim that every low-priced good was made by an underpaid laborer, but it’s also just simple math. “It really blows my mind,” Ryan Roche said on a recent call. “I can crunch the numbers, and even with the cheapest fabrics, I don’t understand how it’s possible. Someone is sewing that T-shirt, and they’re being paid pennies.” Fast fashion’s exploitation and hidden supply chains aren’t new revelations, but when we talk about the mistreated workers or the environmental impact of disposable clothes, we’re ignoring a third impact on the consumer. The “race to the bottom” has totally ruined our perception of value; we literally have no idea what our clothes (or food, or anything else) should cost, and low prices have become so normalized that we don’t even second-guess them. In fact, despite statistics that suggest millennial and Gen Z shoppers care deeply about sustainability, the fast fashion market is actually growing—and the clothes are getting cheaper. It doesn’t help that luxury is getting more expensive in tandem.

After all, a stretch of sand is “the perfect exercise medium,” according to the fitness guru Lydia Bach, who camouflaged some of her most effective toners as ordinary seaside activities in an Ishimuro-lensed fitness guide in Vogue’s July 1976 issue. Nearly 45 years later, those exercises—whether achieved while applying sunscreen or searching through a straw tote—are still stealth stretching and shaping at its very best. Exercises for thighs and lower stomach. Sit, legs outstretched. Leaning forward acts as a weight to thighs, makes exercise more difficult. Try to get hands past your knees on sand (near ankles is advanced strength). As you raise leg off sand, don’t let hands budge. Keep leg raised, point and flex foot 10 times. The lower you are able to lean, the more you increase stretch in lower back. Bike helmets unlock some deep-seated middle school discomfort around what is “cool.” For me, it’s enough to ruin the freeing experience of riding a bicycle in the first place. Suffice it to say: I hate helmets. Like many, I signed up for a Citibike membership as a way to get around during the pandemic. You should, of course, always wear a helmet. But I reasoned that since there weren’t any cars on the road, I could get away without one. That reasoning kind of worked during the weeks of no traffic, but as the city started opening up so did my chance of a head injury. So, much like wearing a face mask, I was compelled to do the responsible thing and find one that I could deal with. I went to Google and typed in a few key search terms: “chic bike helmets” “bike helmet fashion” and “cool helmets.” Many hours later, what I found is that no helmet is actually cool, chic, or fashionable. However, some are aesthetically better than others. I didn’t want an overly designed helmet, so that knocked out anything with an unusual shape, too much color, or a pattern. I found myself drawn towards darker solid colors (black, navy) and sleeker designs. They felt less offensive and more in line with my (all black) wardrobe. What I also learned in my research rabbit hole is that if you are going to get a helmet, which, again, you should, it should have MIPS technology (a.k.a.

As the Tiger face mask I survived 100 masked school days shirt Besides,I will do this Pham sisters tell Vogue, they wished to “reclaim and celebrate Asian flavors, Asian stories, and Asian culture.” Vanessa describes walking down the “ethnic” aisle in mainstream grocery stores, where she and her sister noticed a big disconnect between the items available on shelves and who they served (and didn’t).“A lot of those products were not made with folks like us in the room. And so, that was just a fundamental cornerstone of our business since day one,” says Kim. The sisters decided to join forces to create Omsom. Kim, brought her 10-year-long experience working with startups in venture capital while Vanessa, a graduate from Harvard, had a breadth of business-savvy experience working at Bain & Company advising Fortune 500 companies. The key to Omsom’s brilliance is that it solves a simple, yet common dilemma so many first-generation Asian-Americans can relate to—trying to recreate convoluted recipes our parents used to make with little to no access to the myriad of ingredients required and a lack of knowledge and understanding on how to actually make these dishes. For me, one of the most difficult parts of Asian cooking has always been exactly this—finding the right ingredients to bring the rich, bold Vietnamese flavors to life. The right seasonings, chilis, sauces can make for a grocery list that extends 10 items or longer. Kim similarly shares, “I would be on the phone with mom, [with] mom being like, ‘Add the right amount of fish sauce.’ And we’d be like, ‘Five teaspoons or tablespoons?’” says Kim. But here, this process is made simple in one easy-to-use sauce packet. For Kim and Vanessa, their connection with food has been present throughout their lives. Food has “been a way that we connect with our identity and understand our culture,” says Vanessa, who in fact, recalls mentioning her favorite Vietnamese soup dish “Bun Bo Hue” (a beef and vermicelli noodle soup) in the starting line of her college essay. For many Asian families (mine included) love was conveyed through food. “Food was always a huge part of our family, but in many ways, quite unspoken. You might not say, ‘I love you,’ but you’ll put a piece of fruit [out] to apologize,” says Kim. “We’ve found it to be an important language, in a way, for us to reclaim what it means to share Asian culture in a way that’s undiluted,” Vanessa adds.

But her latest sighting is especially pleasing to fans of ‘90s rock bands and comfortable clothes alike. Yesterday, Turner and Jonas took a stroll in Los Angeles together, and Turner wore an oversized band tee from Oasis and a mask. She sported an oversized top the There’s a starman waiting in the sky bowie vintage shirt but in fact I love this ’90s English rock band known for hits such as “Wonderwall” and “Don’t Look Back In Anger.” The star styled her merch with mini shorts and slide sandals. It’s a striking look for a few reasons. First, the band choice itself: was Turner’s ode to the group inspired by a recent listen of Spotify’s ’90s playlist? Does she also have “Wonderwall” stuck in her head? Her fit also the perfect balance of what maternity style should be: it’s cute and comfy, with a dash of individuality. Jonas, meanwhile, wore a Hawaiian-print shirt with black jeans and sneakers—proving he, too, is making dad-to-be style cool. Let’s also talk about their coordinated face masks. Turner’s printed mask complemented Jonas’s galaxy-printed one by Werkshop. They didn’t match exactly (are couples meant to match masks now?) It’s only practical to buy masks in bulk; so why not double up on masks and start making it a couple style moment? Only time will tell if Jonas and Turner will start doing so. But for now, they’re clearly nailing the expectant parent look. Two years ago, when Andrea Kerzner—founder of the nonprofit Lalela, and daughter of South African super-hotelier Sol Kerzner—discovered how the meat industry was fueling climate change, she decided to open a casual plant-based restaurant that focused on the ultimate comfort food: burgers. She set out to find the best chef for the job, interviewing several candidates before finding Amanda Cohen, the executive chef and owner of Dirt Candy, an award-winning vegetarian restaurant that has been in New York City since 2008. “I met with Amanda and literally there and then I could see her passion for food,” says Kerzner. “Within 24 hours, she agreed to work with me.” The two set about creating Lekka (Afrikaans slang for “delicious”), an all-vegan restaurant that opens November 19th in Tribeca. The restaurant’s signature dish is a vegan burger, served five different ways. For Cohen, creating a plant-based burger required overcoming some of her own prejudices. “We haven’t had a burger ever on the menu at Dirt Candy. And I had been against it, to be brutally honest,” says Cohen. “ Buy this shirt:  There’s a starman waiting in the sky bowie vintage shirt The brawl for it all Godzilla vs King Kong the most clash of titans shirt This year’s CFDA Awards were a casualty of the The brawl for it all Godzilla vs King Kong the most clash of titans shirt moreover I will buy this COVID-19 pandemic. Originally scheduled for Monday, June 8, they would’ve kicked off NYFW: Resort and New York’s June men’s collections, both of which were likewise canceled. But the show must go on—virtually at least. This year’s winners will be announced on both CFDA.com and the CFDA’s social channels on Monday, September 14, which is the first day of a shortened New York Fashion Week. It too is shaping up to be a largely digital affair. The awards would’ve been the first presided over by Ford as chairman. He had been planning changes, instituting two new prizes, the global women’s designer of the year and the global men’s designer of the year, to replace the international award, which last year went to Sarah Burton of Alexander McQueen. In lieu of the in-person event, we will be prioritizing new and existing programming to support our designer community during the global pandemic—by redirecting efforts towards next-generation scholarships and making important changes to bring racial equity to the fashion industry,” said Steven Kolb, president and CEO of the CFDA, in the same statement. Racial equity remains an issue in the industry, however. Of the 15 designers nominated in the top American awards categories, only Kerby Jean-Raymond of Pyer Moss, Telfar Clemens, and Peter Do are people of color. The emerging designer category is more diverse and includes Christopher John Rogers, who was last year’s CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund winner. Summer has officially arrived as of last week, and while June swiftly turns into July, the days are growing warmer and warmer, thus affecting our closets. This year, the best clothing sales will make it easier to shop for summery pieces like dresses and tops that stand up well in the hot days ahead, understanding that our wardrobes will look a bit different than in year’s past. With so much time spent at home, on-trend pieces like clog sandals (or any kind of special shoe) have quickly taken a backseat to tried-and-true wardrobe essentials, like crisp white dress shirts that will have you Zoom-ready in a pinch, or soft tees that pair well with sweats and jeans. Basics that can be worn day in and day out, whether at home or out and about (following social distancing precautions, of course), have unexpectedly climbed the ranks to become must-haves this summer.

The brand recently launched the That’s what I do and I know things I ride tractors I play with Cows t-shirt but I will buy this shirt and I will love this nostalgia-soaked diffusion line called Perry Ellis America, made up exclusively of archival pieces plucked from its ’80s heyday. Think: color-blocked windbreakers, logo’d hoodies, and track pants. (Justin and Hailey Bieber are already fans.) As for the mainline, Perry Ellis has always been a brand known for its prints, and the “look” of this summer was indisputably a boldly printed camp shirt. Guys wore them over T-shirts and girls wore them with bike shorts; it’s a happily unisex trend. Creative Director Michael Maccari said the women in his office frequently shop the collection, and they’ve likely called dibs on the Spring 2020 shirts that mimic abstract paintings. Those shirts merged Maccari’s two key influences: the Luca Guadagnino film A Bigger Splash (set in Sicily and starring Tilda Swinton and Ralph Fiennes) and the artwork of David Hockney. Maccari was designing the collection last fall, just after one of Hockney’s famous swimming pool paintings sold for $90 million, making him the priciest living artist in history (though he was surpassed by Jeff Koons in May). Hockney’s crisp, deeply saturated paintings of water and nature informed the painterly prints, while the artist’s own preppy style informed the “nerdy” knit polos. Those items were bright spots in a classic-leaning collection. The news in suiting and 9-to-5 staples tend to be smaller tweaks at Perry Ellis, like changing the scale of a stripe or applying a special treatment to a suit to make it machine-washable. The guys (and girls) who are drawn to the more fun, vibrant printed shirts will likely skip the business stuff and consider the more casual pieces, like a buttery-soft garment-dyed twill chore jacket. Worn above by Ariana Ajtar, I don’t disagree that she looks great. I’d even say she looks stunning. Her lovely bronzed skin contrasts nicely with the bright yellow two-piece. She looks perfectly at ease and confident wearing this bikini – and why shouldn’t she?! She’s got a gorgeous figure (perky round boobs, small waistline accentuated by her wide hips) and should be proud to show it off. I have no issues with the top except for not having some kind of closure. These types of tops are annoyingly difficult to get on and off, especially if you’ve got a large bust. (Plus think about how much fun it is to quickly grab the tie-ends of a bikini top and give them a good tug – off it goes!) The overall sporty tank shape of the top is not my favorite but it works perfectly fine for some. Buy this shirt:  That’s what I do and I know things I ride tractors I play with Cows t-shirtv Tampa Bay Legends signatures t-shirt The major starting point for the Tampa Bay Legends signatures t-shirt Additionally,I will love this collection, Vaccarello said at a preview, was Marrakech in the ’70s (YSL was a habituée) reimagined as 21st-century Los Angeles, a city that resides on Vaccarello’s own emotional landscape. (He first visited when he was 14, and there have been many return visits.) While that’s some geographical leap, it’s not an unimaginable one; both locations speak to a yearning for a certain bohemian, free-spirited, almost mystical escape. “You come to L.A. for vacation,” Vaccarello said. “You can disconnect from the rest of the world.” The Morocco-by-way-of-LA-isms were smartly and sparingly deployed throughout the collection and considered flourishes, not theme-gone-wild. The tasseled hoods, djellaba shirting, and embroideries of tiny silver discs suspended from chains amplified the rigor of the classic YSL vestiaire that Vaccarello has been busy exploring (the saharienne, the sharp-as-a-tack tux) as well as the kind of pieces (the bomber, the spencer) that he has introduced into the house’s lexicon. At a time when men’s tailoring is coming back with a vengeance, there was plenty of it here that intrigued, including jackets whose shoulder seams ran on the bias, keeping the line defined, but, apparently, allowing for more comfort and mobility. After all, how else might you convince a generation accustomed to the freedom of streetwear to try tailoring on for the first time and keep it on? The other major reference for the collection was Mick Jagger, circa the Rolling Stones tour of 1975, where the lead singer got to shake a tail feather on stage (and off) in all sorts of glossy and glittery finery. Vaccarello understands, as Jagger did, that a man never looks more masculine than when he’s in satin and sparkle. So he took the opportunity to reference the androgyny of the glam-slam ’70s with one that reflects today: the gleaming black teddy jacket whose sleeves were cut with kimono-like proportions, for instance, or an ivory satin suit, which came with a matching silk shirt left undone save for the knot at the waist. (Jagger, incidentally, who gave Vaccarello access to his vintage YSL, is returning the compliment by wearing some pieces from this collection when the Stones start their U.S. tour later this month, including the cobalt blue-to-black dégradé beaded blouson.) Egyptian clothing, as were clothes from all ancient societies, was made from locally-sourced materials. Egyptian society was one of the earliest agricultural societies. That is why the ancient Egyptians wore light clothes made from linen. Linen is made from flax – a plant that was grown along the Nile. The picture to the right shows the flax growing process.

For instance, we’d seen the Tampa Bay football Pirate Skull shirt and by the same token and pool-dappled pattern—which is very attractive—not just at Kors’s Hockney-hashing collection, but also this season at MSGM (in a collection simply enough about summer). Yet that’s not to conclude this was an altogether poor debut from Marretta, who clearly has some serious knitwear petrol in his engine following his time in Milan. The double-face wool-blend track pants and rib-knit sweaters in violently opposing lifeguard-uniform yellow and red were, as he said, fun. So were his pieces of reversible outerwear in checks that mashed Prince of Wales against argyle, which matched his a-lot-like-Birkenstock sandals. The intarsia-homage diving-figure sweater was cute. But if Marretta is going to revisit British culture through his Italian eyes, he should either do it in a completely new manner or find lesser explored but still visually compelling aspects of the culture he has moved from Armani to dive into. “I am no longer an artist; I have become a work of art,” spoke a voiceover in the middle of Prada’s Spring 2020 men’s shoe, held, for the first time off home turf, in Shanghai. (Typically Miuccia Prada prefers to show her collections in the Fondazione Prada in Milan or at her New York office.) Later, the same voice said, “I feel myself a god.” Mrs. Prada has long maintained a reverent relationship with art, supporting and collaborating with her favorite creators, without ever formally declaring herself among their ranks—no word on the god situation. So, what were we to make of the statements pronounced, at techno speed, over a blue-lit runway at the Minsheng Art Wharf? To those at home in the Pradaverse, the words, lifted from Frankie Goes to Hollywood’s Welcome to the Pleasuredome, were Prada subversion at its best. In the show notes unlike her in situ shows, Mrs. P did not assemble journalists for a debrief the collection was described as one of optimism, suggesting that being hopeful can be an antidote for accepting the darkness of our actuality. It’s a continuation of the themes she launched at her recent women’s Resort show in New York, but when presented on male models, it took on a kinkier edge.  I fought my way, using the advantage of having a small body, bending, and shoving until I got there. Okay, I think I see it! The window that a teacher stands behind. I extended my hand with the money, gasping for breath as two big girls squished me from both sides.

There’s been a bat mitzvah, a supper club performance by Janelle Monáe (with an invite stating a black-and-white dress code, no less), and a moving gospel choir performance inside one of Brooklyn’s oldest, most storied theaters. Some on the circuit is already ringing the death knell for the traditional runway show format, and frankly, the differentiation has helped spice things up on the newly condensed calendar. Private Policy, a label based between Shanghai and New York from Chinese designers Haoran Li and Siying Qu, did the same, opting to show their Spring 2020 unisex label with a live model presentation at a SoHo gallery alongside a series of portraits photographed by Shxpir Huang. After Fashion Week, space will turn into a pop-up shop. The images feature real Asian-American families who all styled themselves in the latest Private Policy lineup, which includes their signature checkered pattern applied to the lapels of baby pink and seafoam green skirt- and short-suit sets. There were cool, raver-Esque harness tops and ring-detailed slip dresses, along with Li and Qu’s usual streetwear tees. They’ve titled their collection “Family Dinner,” and the idea was to highlight the often emotionally intense experience of an Asian-American family gathering around food. More forward-thinking youth will sometimes clash with the elders who are tied to their generational, conservative ideologies. The portraits of the families are meant to showcase just how varied Asian-American families can be: They can have older kids, both the mother and father can work, or two Asian men can get married and start their own family together. That last example is of great importance to Li and Qu, as they want to challenge gender bias and LGBTQ discrimination in their own culture, both at home and in America. I admire Catherine re-wearing so many beautiful dresses. She even has her children wearing hand-me-downs, which is wonderful and practical, but I love the times when all the men and ladies bring out their finest clothes and have their hair styled and royalty exudes a brilliance that Hollywood cannot recreate. Those State dinners are full of glitz and glam, and watching the royals wear their sashes and special pins, which are full of meaning, is otherworldly, almost. Nothing compares.

It would have been so dreamy to be able to hang around for the whole enchilada that promised via repeat performance and barbecue to be a fun evening. Held on the roof of a garage in the 9th arrondissement, the sun was still high and bright. In every direction but for the south around us was spread the infinite patchwork of Paris’s panorama. What blocked the southern aspect was a photographed replica of the view beyond, upon which was printed with the view, with the insertion of some new futuristic buildings two new towers by the Eiffel with alien ergonomic windows and walkways. Slightly to the east, the Pompidou had somehow been tripled in size. In front of the backdrop was a floor of boulder-strewn sand. When the rehearsal started, orchestrated by Stéphane Ashpool with an already-sunburned neck, we saw a sort of future-pagan tribe in flowing white and metallic raiments emerge. Behind started up the most awesome music urgent, mystic, blissed-out future jazz overseen by Kamaal Williams (with Alina Bzhezhinska on harp, Rick Leon James on bass, and Nathaniel Fuller on percussion). The first looks mixed patched robes with drawstring-shirred parkas and loose green organza pants that flapped like prayer flags in the breeze in a sort of Sun-Ra-meets-Logan’s-Run-meets-Buck-Rogers vibe. Then a group of dancers in powerfully colored double-faced pajama suits emerged and made patterns with movement around the first looks before a maypole ritual with strips of fabric. Next up were some looks by Ashpool proteges Theo Each-Cheikh and Yacine Keita, whom he has long mentored and now given creation space in his atelier. Finally were three Pigalle x Nike looks complete with Jumpmans and Jordans applied as a final flourish in a show interrupted only by a handsome dog that wandered onto the runway halfway through before being tenderly ejected by the designer. At the age of six, women start to wear clothes. Status was important in ancient Egypt. The higher the position, the thinner the material. Unlike men, women wore more conservative clothes. They wore full-length, straight dresses with one or two shoulder straps, with very little sewing, if any. These dresses, depending on the period, would lie below the breast, but most often covered the chest.

A palette of soft tonal colors, a slightly vintage insouciance, a fluidity of fit and balance of proportions come to mind when thinking of Purple Label’s signature aesthetic. Yet at today’s presentation at the label’s sumptuous Milanese headquarters, what stood out was a gorgeous, visually compelling lineup of brightly colored evening suits in shades of saturated yellow, fuchsia, and orange. Slim fitting and sharply cut in silk shantung, they looked exceptional, pointing towards an updated approach, with a zest of chic playfulness: “They’re tailored with a lighter construction, but still maintaining sartorial proportions,” said John Wrazej, executive vice president and creative director of men’s design. “They’re all handmade; it’s our uncompromising way of tailoring. They’re probably among the best suits you can find.” The collection also played on sophistication in the daywear offer, with tailoring in proprietary soft-toned wool-gabardine exuding a luxurious yet relaxed feel. An interesting alternative for summer evenings was a single-breasted cashmere blazer in a dense, sensual tobacco shade; paired with cream-colored fluid pants, “it’d look beautiful with a tan,” suggested Wrazej. A sporty allure featured prominently in a series of knitted intarsia sweaters and polo shirts with marine-inspired motifs, while nautical references were in evidence in officer’s jackets, wide-leg pants, and striped sweaters. But the most innovative aspect the collection were the RLX technical performance fabrics used for roomy, well-cut waterproof parkas and sailing jackets. “It’s nylon, a polyester yarn made using recycled plastic bottles,” explained Wrazej. ”It’s completely high-performance. The company is taking a strong stand towards going sustainable. For Fall we’ll have a lot more sustainable fabrics; probably 80 percent of our nylons and insulations will be made with sustainable yarns,” he continued. “The issue is front and center across the company, with very strict guidelines that over the next four or five years we’ll be shifting the label towards a much more environmentally conscious approach, even in manufacturing.” From that initial exciting experience it was not very long where I again felt the irresistible urge to try on my sister’s panties and a slip. Following a second experience I knew within myself that I would not be able to resist the temptation to try on panties and a slip again. My life from that point would include dressing up in panties and a slip whenever the opportunity presented, and when I experimented with a bra I then wanted to try on a skirt, stockings and then a dress. My sister had the most gorgeous assortment of very pretty panties and slips which was so enticing.

Some models wore cast metal rivets, or carried hatches and axes also cast in metal: It was unclear whether these “accessories” would be sold too. What does seem likely, however, is that if you purchase a pair of black Sterling Ruby blurry twig-print yoga pants (they were worn under a long, color-patched hand-knit cardigan), you might be making a fashion investment that truly accrues. When asked about the difference between making fashion and the production of art, Ruby said: “In many respects, outside of the logistics of putting together the collection and the garments in the kind of production of it I don’t see it as any different to making a sculpture or painting.” He added of making objects that are worn: “I kinda find that more rewarding. Not that I mind if somebody has a painting and hangs it on the wall, but it is fun to think of something going out into the world, and moving, and being something for people to see.” And will this be an every-season thing? “I think 15 minutes ago I may not have been able to say yes or no, but now…yes! It might not be seasonal, but I will do it again.” America’s most interesting new fashion designer is also one of its most prolific and successful contemporary artists. We were privileged to see those two worlds meet in a manger in Florence tonight. The experimentation doesn’t stop there. For the first time in Geller’s career, he is using sequins on tanks, trousers, and shorts. “I wanted to get myself out of my comfort zone,” he explains. It’s a funny way of putting it; the backs of the sequin garments are actually made of nylon ripstop, so they are comfortable to sit in. Even with a fantastical mood haunting this season, amplified by wigs by Chrystoph Marten, Geller can’t help but be pragmatic. I have dressed for nearly 30 years now having begun when I was 15 when I started experimenting. It commenced with my sisters silky nylon panties and her nylon and lace slips, and continued to progress to bras, silky sheer stockings, skirts, blouses, dresses and high heel shoes.

The shorts, which have been a mainstay of his women’s collections from the very beginning, made their men’s debut, as ragged denim cut-offs paired with a lean pinstriped jacket or an oversize trench. The blown-up proportions of the latter underscored the softer, looser—sensual, even—approach Vaccarello took here. It was a first for him, an indication he’s finding his comfort level with his men’s while also being able to dig in and challenge himself. “I love it now,” he said. “It might sound selfish to say this, but I really project myself into the pieces. I’m trying everything on.” Even, he said, the finale looks, a terrific line-up of super-wide, super-fluid black pants, in gauzy knit or crushed pleated silk, billowing and flowing from a high and often belted waist. Vaccarello showed them as the gray-skied swelling Pacific Ocean finally slid into darkness, but it looked a whole lot more like him seeing things in a new light. For all the ideas that Chitose Abe brought to these men’s and women’s collections, nothing was as surprising as her shout-out to The Big Lebowski. Sure, we have now come to expect fashion’s supreme remixer to place quotes within her collections; but “The rug really tied the room together” from the cult film felt especially left-field like some sort of creative non-sequitur. Could it be that Abe equates her signature hybridization to the rug? Not quite. Backstage, we learned that it was the “tying together” part that interested her and that she did this with two “familiar” pieces rather than her usual clashed combos. Wardrobe archetypes gray suit, a trench, a tuxedo, her standby MA1 jacket all figured in this new exercise, which gave the impression of a more dressed-up lineup, even if each look registered the same swingy nonchalance as always. Two of the highlights came right at the start: the tuxedo shirt and pants fused into a roomy dress, undone bowtie included, followed by the reworkings of suit jackets and shirts. Some looks were tied together based on proportions; see the mini MA1 vest over an inside-out jacket or else doubled-up denim jackets. Interestingly, the looks embellished with sequins gave off the same trace of grunge as some of the more obvious sun-struck flannels and mountaineering pants made in collaboration with Gramicci. Towards the end, men’s looks presented permutations of matching shirts and jackets in superpositions that would require buying both to achieve the same effect.

The word backstage doesn’t really fit the St.Patrick’s Day Slooth one lazy and lucky irish shirt besides I will buy this Palazzo Vecchio’s sumptuously frescoed courtyard, where the pre-show mayhem was in full swing. “No fashion show has ever been allowed in Piazza Della Signoria before,” said Andrew. “So this is definitely a major first.” It was also the first show with the designer in the role of creative director of both the men’s and women’s lines, and the first time that Ferragamo staged a fashion show in its hometown of Florence. The label contributed to the recently completed restoration of the majestic Fountain of Neptune, which dominates Piazza Della Signoria, the city’s beating heart. “It was this idea of coming home for Ferragamo,” said Andrew. “I thought, how epic would it be doing my first men’s show during Pitti, which celebrates its 30 birthday this year, with this spectacular fountain as a backdrop.” A little ego trip definitely goes a long way. Though everyone thought the idea was bonkers, Andrew persisted and lots of lengthy negotiations with the city mayor ensued. “And voilà! Here we are,” he exclaimed. To top this magnificent location, only a fashion show in Rome’s Saint Peter’s Square would do, but negotiating with the Pope would probably be a much trickier matter. As an homage to the city, a series of prints abstracting Neptune’s impressively toned torso graced a series of loose shirts and lightweight parachute parkas in delicate pastel hues. The charming, rather feminine color palette neutral tones breaking into more vibrant shades of sky blue and orange, softened by hints of lavender, mint, and periwinkle was one of the distinctive traits of the collection, which revolved around workwear templates rethought with a more formal, luxe flair, but without losing a sense of lightness. I would just like to point out that the money supply is part of the total wealth. The amount of total wealth that the money supply comprises can vary considerably, but if one wanted to figure out the real value of the money supply, then like any other form of wealth, we can use the inflation rate. So for example, if we had a money supply of 22 million dollars in the current year, it would be worth 20 million dollars 5 years ago, and its contribution to the total real wealth of the current year would be 20 million dollars. In real terms, 22 million dollars today is equal to 20 million dollars in the anchor year. Buy this shirt:  St.Patrick’s Day Slooth one lazy and lucky irish shirt Duck beer frunk as duck shirt It feels really personal to me,” said Robert Cavalli of his Florentine dandy-meets–British punk Spring collection. Indeed. What’s more personal than staging a presentation at your mother’s home? If the Duck beer frunk as duck shirt but I will buy this shirt and I will love this mother in question is Eva Cavalli, then expect the home to be lavish. Her Florentine apartment, ensconced in a noble palazzo in the heart of the old city, boasts a magnificent secret garden, lush with century-old trees overlooking an ancient monastery and a church. Models and guests were lounging on the lawns, seemingly without a care in the world. At his label Triple RRR, the young designer is honing a languid aesthetic infused with an underground vibe. He has a penchant for a decadent Renaissance mood and favors opulence of fabrications and flamboyant yet elegant silhouettes, which he undercuts with irreverence and a flair for subversion. His signature robes de chambre in silk satin were worn over denim and with combat boots, and strict British-inspired tailoring was smoothed with almost feminine accents, as in ribbon belts cinching the waists of elongated blazers. Slender suits were given a sensuous finish via sumptuous mauve silk moiré, while a Prince of Wales jacquard suit was printed with red tigers and esoteric symbols. A little homage to Vivienne Westwood never hurts. It’s well known that the Cavalli family is fond of keeping a menagerie of exotic animals as domestic pets (think snakes, monkeys, iguanas); the young Robert doesn’t stray from tradition. He drew inspiration from his 25-year-old parakeet, Tommaso, the presentation’s guest of honor, whose colorful plumage was reproduced as a painterly print on a denim jacket and matching pants, or on a liquid silk robe coat, worn with a pale blue metallic leather biker. But beyond his family legacy, Cavalli is carving a place for himself in the fashion arena. If he keeps true to his quite personal mix of romantic, sensual rebelliousness, it’ll be interesting to follow his label’s future steps. So this shows Keynes’ awareness that in reality spending does not represent the depletion of wealth. He realized that the solution for production shortages in a situation where we have un- or underutilized resources, (including un- or underemployed people), is to increase spending, not to decrease spending. He realized that the increased spending will, for the most, part lead to increased employment of resources and increased net production of wealth. He showed that in such a situation, due to the effect of producing new wealth and preserving current wealth, increased spending can cause increased total wealth, and a higher standard of living, and improved quality of life.

Does Tom Ford say long johns are an outerwear option now when did you get that memo? “This is all just my style,” said Takahiro Miyashita, his expression obliquely refracted through his John Lennon glasses after this interesting show. The collection seemed to be a kind of imaginative boyhood view of tropes of uniform the clothes that authority figures wear all messed up by a purposely blurred focus. There was a heavy gestalt feeling at play, yet the parts that made up the sum were in fact the meat and potatoes of this richly blended stew of auto-referential menswear. This was a collection based upon the aspirations of manhood we aspire to when immature, eroded by the knowledge gained through maturity. It was about lost love squandered and idiocy. Yes, it was also about a collaboration with Converse that introduced a new pimp-soled postmodern expression of Chuck. The collection was called Duet, but it was really a series of duets between Miyashita and his references. Between them, they created a handsome, soaring chorus in which the disappointment inherent in aspiring to fit into the uniform of masculine codes and then falling short of their impossible standards, hung long and slow in the air. Miyashita called this “a love song for fashion” and it was real love, true love, tough love. With externally worn underwear baring your soul, Soloist style. Textile company Albini collaborated with the designers to create a deckchair-striped cotton poplin which had a vaguely penitentiary feeling in all-over outfits for men. And then there was that catnip slogan tank-tee. It was taken directly from the shirt in a photo by Stanley Stellar of an attendee at 1995’s Wigstock Festival in New York, and those inverted-commas so hot right now made it especially funny. But if this show represented “fashion” or just fashion in Milan this afternoon, then it was pretty hard to hate. The first part, the savings that is the preservation of investment does not represent any change in the level of wealth. Reducing spending will not, in and of itself, cause any reduction in the level of wealth. This is because whether a given amount of money is used for spending or not, it still exists in the same amount at the end of the given time period.

If Stanley, Roche, and Romy could triple the Totoro I hate morning people and mornings and people t-shirt besides I will buy this size of their businesses, perhaps their prices would come down a little, but that isn’t their goal. The larger a company gets, the more difficult it becomes to keep track of the supply chain; we all remember how certain well-known brands didn’t even know their clothes were being produced in the collapsed Rana Plaza factory. Understanding scale also explains why a higher price doesn’t always equate to better fabrics and fair labor. A polyester dress might retail for $400 because the label produced it in small quantities and paid its workers—but it’s still polyester, and you shouldn’t waste $400 on something so environmentally damaging. Or maybe the brand made it in huge quantities and used cheap labor, but hiked the price to convince you it’s an elevated product. There’s always going to be confusion when it comes to price, and some brands are always going to value “brand equity” over their workforces. The only way you’ll really know if a price is worth your hard-earned cash is by digging deeper and demanding transparency from the brands you support. On the luxury side, designers and retailers are actively discussing how to become open and honest about price and quality. By explaining the origin of their fabrics, how their clothes are made, and who makes them, the hope is that customers will shop more confidently and will be motivated to invest in the story, not just the product or trend. In theory, that concept of mindful consumption could eventually trickle down to the high street. It isn’t going to fix climate change or fashion’s murky supply chain, but it’s the best way we can begin to make a difference—and by “we,” I mean those of us in the privileged position of having money to spend and the headspace to refine our shopping habits. The common rebuttal to the “fewer, better” approach is that some people can’t afford to pay more for clothes, and that’s absolutely true. But lower-income shoppers aren’t the ones creating the mess; they aren’t buying a new dress every week and then throwing it out. The people abusing the system are the ones who could afford to buy fewer, higher-quality items, and it’s our responsibility to use our power and influence to raise the bar for everyone else.

The only way she could lower her prices would be to take less profit or transition her business to a direct-to-consumer model, eliminating the Tom Brady TB12 Tampa Bay Buccaneers Super Bowl shirt so you should to go to store and get this retail markup. (Given the state of department stores, many of her peers are likely thinking the same thing.) In the meantime, the best thing she can do is educate her customers about precisely why her new hand-embroidered organic cotton dress costs $550. Stanley openly shared the cost breakdown here: $24 covers the organic cotton and dyes; the intricate handwork comes in at $48, because it took an embroiderer a full day to make the dress; production labor, including sewing, pattern-making, sampling, finishing, and packing, was $48; trims, including the labels, hang tag, and dust bag, were $5; shipping was $8; and duties were $24. Her total cost came to $157, and in order to keep the final price lower, she took just a 1.59x margin, bumping the wholesale price to $250. (This means Stanley would earn $93 in profit when a store orders the dress.) With the typical retail margin of 2.2x, the final price tag on the rack in a boutique is $550. I’ve been trying to make it a point to tell the story of my clothes, but it’s hard to be honest and say, ‘This is my cost, this is how much I make on this piece, this is why you should support my brand and the people who made it,’” Stanley says. “I love going to a store, and I have friends who have boutiques and work so hard. They deserve to make that margin, but the retail markup is really why clothes get so expensive. That’s where I get stuck.” If you’re of the “buy less, buy better” mentality, it isn’t hard to justify the higher price. Plenty of Stanley’s customers are investment-minded and care about her commitment to ethical, sustainable, small-batch production, but some still need to be convinced that it’s “worth” buying one of her dresses instead of five cheaper versions. Lucette Romy, the founder of The Wylde, an organic label handmade in Bali, has had similar conversations with her customers about the higher price of organic cotton, botanical dyes, and dignified labor. “But it often isn’t enough to change their minds,” she says. So she found another way to get the point across: Every item on her site comes with a cost-per-wear breakdown. Her new organic cotton dress goes for 260 Australian dollars, or $178, but if you wear it 10 times, it’s $18 per wear.

In the Tom Brady Tampa Bay Buccaneers t-shirt What’s more,I will buy this long run, it’s more advantageous both economically and for the environment to invest in fewer, more expensive pieces crafted to withstand time, rather than indulging in trend-forward pieces that may not hold up physically or aesthetically after a few wears. Buying quality jewelry is not just about achieving a good cost-per-wear ratio— investment pieces are about longevity too. A classic piece that feels perfectly aligned with your style tends to age with grace, making it feel even more valuable as time presses on. Maybe the watch or ring you buy now will become a family heirloom, or maybe it’s something you’ll want to wear for decades. A classic trench coat will always be a wardrobe staple in transitional weather. From quality jewelry to clothing, here are the investment pieces that will stand the test of time and may even be history in the making. Read that again, and the idea of a T-shirt being “worth” $5 might seem preposterous, if not criminal. How is it possible that all of those materials, logistics, and people amount to just dollars or cents? Many of those costs are fixed; the price of cotton isn’t negotiable, even at scale. The person who made the T-shirt, on the other hand, is a lot easier to exploit. It would be reckless to claim that every low-priced good was made by an underpaid laborer, but it’s also just simple math. “It really blows my mind,” Ryan Roche said on a recent call. “I can crunch the numbers, and even with the cheapest fabrics, I don’t understand how it’s possible. Someone is sewing that T-shirt, and they’re being paid pennies.” Fast fashion’s exploitation and hidden supply chains aren’t new revelations, but when we talk about the mistreated workers or the environmental impact of disposable clothes, we’re ignoring a third impact on the consumer. The “race to the bottom” has totally ruined our perception of value; we literally have no idea what our clothes (or food, or anything else) should cost, and low prices have become so normalized that we don’t even second-guess them. In fact, despite statistics that suggest millennial and Gen Z shoppers care deeply about sustainability, the fast fashion market is actually growing—and the clothes are getting cheaper. It doesn’t help that luxury is getting more expensive in tandem.

After all, a stretch of sand is “the perfect exercise medium,” according to the fitness guru Lydia Bach, who camouflaged some of her most effective toners as ordinary seaside activities in an Ishimuro-lensed fitness guide in Vogue’s July 1976 issue. Nearly 45 years later, those exercises—whether achieved while applying sunscreen or searching through a straw tote—are still stealth stretching and shaping at its very best. Exercises for thighs and lower stomach. Sit, legs outstretched. Leaning forward acts as a weight to thighs, makes exercise more difficult.

The lower you are able to lean, the more you increase stretch in lower back. Bike helmets unlock some deep-seated middle school discomfort around what is “cool.” For me, it’s enough to ruin the freeing experience of riding a bicycle in the first place. Suffice it to say: I hate helmets. Like many, I signed up for a Citibike membership as a way to get around during the pandemic. You should, of course, always wear a helmet. But I reasoned that since there weren’t any cars on the road, I could get away without one. That reasoning kind of worked during the weeks of no traffic, but as the city started opening up so did my chance of a head injury. So, much like wearing a face mask, I was compelled to do the responsible thing and find one that I could deal with. I went to Google and typed in a few key search terms: “chic bike helmets” “bike helmet fashion” and “cool helmets.” Many hours later, what I found is that no helmet is actually cool, chic, or fashionable. However, some are aesthetically better than others. I didn’t want an overly designed helmet, so that knocked out anything with an unusual shape, too much color, or a pattern. I found myself drawn towards darker solid colors (black, navy) and sleeker designs. They felt less offensive and more in line with my (all black) wardrobe.

As the Tiger face mask I survived 100 masked school days shirt Besides,I will do this Pham sisters tell Vogue, they wished to “reclaim and celebrate Asian flavors, Asian stories, and Asian culture.” Vanessa describes walking down the “ethnic” aisle in mainstream grocery stores, where she and her sister noticed a big disconnect between the items available on shelves and who they served (and didn’t).“A lot of those products were not made with folks like us in the room. And so, that was just a fundamental cornerstone of our business since day one,” says Kim. The sisters decided to join forces to create Omsom. Kim, brought her 10-year-long experience working with startups in venture capital while Vanessa, a graduate from Harvard, had a breadth of business-savvy experience working at Bain & Company advising Fortune 500 companies. The key to Omsom’s brilliance is that it solves a simple, yet common dilemma so many first-generation Asian-Americans can relate to—trying to recreate convoluted recipes our parents used to make with little to no access to the myriad of ingredients required and a lack of knowledge and understanding on how to actually make these dishes. For me, one of the most difficult parts of Asian cooking has always been exactly this—finding the right ingredients to bring the rich, bold Vietnamese flavors to life. The right seasonings, chilis, sauces can make for a grocery list that extends 10 items or longer. Kim similarly shares, “I would be on the phone with mom, [with] mom being like, ‘Add the right amount of fish sauce.’ And we’d be like, ‘Five teaspoons or tablespoons?’” says Kim. But here, this process is made simple in one easy-to-use sauce packet. For Kim and Vanessa, their connection with food has been present throughout their lives. Food has “been a way that we connect with our identity and understand our culture,” says Vanessa, who in fact, recalls mentioning her favorite Vietnamese soup dish “Bun Bo Hue” (a beef and vermicelli noodle soup) in the starting line of her college essay. For many Asian families (mine included) love was conveyed through food. “Food was always a huge part of our family, but in many ways, quite unspoken. You might not say, ‘I love you,’ but you’ll put a piece of fruit [out] to apologize,” says Kim. “We’ve found it to be an important language, in a way, for us to reclaim what it means to share Asian culture in a way that’s undiluted,” Vanessa adds.

But her latest sighting is especially pleasing to fans of ‘90s rock bands and comfortable clothes alike. Yesterday, Turner and Jonas took a stroll in Los Angeles together, and Turner wore an oversized band tee from Oasis and a mask. She sported an oversized top the There’s a starman waiting in the sky bowie vintage shirt but in fact I love this ’90s English rock band known for hits such as “Wonderwall” and “Don’t Look Back In Anger.” The star styled her merch with mini shorts and slide sandals. It’s a striking look for a few reasons. First, the band choice itself: was Turner’s ode to the group inspired by a recent listen of Spotify’s ’90s playlist? Does she also have “Wonderwall” stuck in her head? Her fit also the perfect balance of what maternity style should be: it’s cute and comfy, with a dash of individuality. Jonas, meanwhile, wore a Hawaiian-print shirt with black jeans and sneakers—proving he, too, is making dad-to-be style cool. Let’s also talk about their coordinated face masks. Turner’s printed mask complemented Jonas’s galaxy-printed one by Werkshop. They didn’t match exactly (are couples meant to match masks now?) It’s only practical to buy masks in bulk; so why not double up on masks and start making it a couple style moment? Only time will tell if Jonas and Turner will start doing so. But for now, they’re clearly nailing the expectant parent look. Two years ago, when Andrea Kerzner—founder of the nonprofit Lalela, and daughter of South African super-hotelier Sol Kerzner—discovered how the meat industry was fueling climate change, she decided to open a casual plant-based restaurant that focused on the ultimate comfort food: burgers. She set out to find the best chef for the job, interviewing several candidates before finding Amanda Cohen, the executive chef and owner of Dirt Candy, an award-winning vegetarian restaurant that has been in New York City since 2008. “I met with Amanda and literally there and then I could see her passion for food,” says Kerzner. “Within 24 hours, she agreed to work with me.” The two set about creating Lekka (Afrikaans slang for “delicious”), an all-vegan restaurant that opens November 19th in Tribeca. The restaurant’s signature dish is a vegan burger, served five different ways. For Cohen, creating a plant-based burger required overcoming some of her own prejudices. “We haven’t had a burger ever on the menu at Dirt Candy. And I had been against it, to be brutally honest,” says Cohen. “ Buy this shirt:  There’s a starman waiting in the sky bowie vintage shirt The brawl for it all Godzilla vs King Kong the most clash of titans shirt This year’s CFDA Awards were a casualty of the The brawl for it all Godzilla vs King Kong the most clash of titans shirt moreover I will buy this COVID-19 pandemic. Originally scheduled for Monday, June 8, they would’ve kicked off NYFW: Resort and New York’s June men’s collections, both of which were likewise canceled. But the show must go on—virtually at least. This year’s winners will be announced on both CFDA.com and the CFDA’s social channels on Monday, September 14, which is the first day of a shortened New York Fashion Week. It too is shaping up to be a largely digital affair. The awards would’ve been the first presided over by Ford as chairman. He had been planning changes, instituting two new prizes, the global women’s designer of the year and the global men’s designer of the year, to replace the international award, which last year went to Sarah Burton of Alexander McQueen. In lieu of the in-person event, we will be prioritizing new and existing programming to support our designer community during the global pandemic—by redirecting efforts towards next-generation scholarships and making important changes to bring racial equity to the fashion industry,” said Steven Kolb, president and CEO of the CFDA, in the same statement. Racial equity remains an issue in the industry, however. Of the 15 designers nominated in the top American awards categories, only Kerby Jean-Raymond of Pyer Moss, Telfar Clemens, and Peter Do are people of color. The emerging designer category is more diverse and includes Christopher John Rogers, who was last year’s CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund winner. Summer has officially arrived as of last week, and while June swiftly turns into July, the days are growing warmer and warmer, thus affecting our closets. This year, the best clothing sales will make it easier to shop for summery pieces like dresses and tops that stand up well in the hot days ahead, understanding that our wardrobes will look a bit different than in year’s past. With so much time spent at home, on-trend pieces like clog sandals (or any kind of special shoe) have quickly taken a backseat to tried-and-true wardrobe essentials, like crisp white dress shirts that will have you Zoom-ready in a pinch, or soft tees that pair well with sweats and jeans. Basics that can be worn day in and day out, whether at home or out and about (following social distancing precautions, of course), have unexpectedly climbed the ranks to become must-haves this summer. Buy this shirt:  The brawl for it all Godzilla vs King Kong the most clash of titans shirt That’s what I do and I know things I ride tractors I play with Cows t-shirt Perry Ellis has a lot going for it in 2019. The brand recently launched the That’s what I do and I know things I ride tractors I play with Cows t-shirt but I will buy this shirt and I will love this nostalgia-soaked diffusion line called Perry Ellis America, made up exclusively of archival pieces plucked from its ’80s heyday. Think: color-blocked windbreakers, logo’d hoodies, and track pants. (Justin and Hailey Bieber are already fans.) As for the mainline, Perry Ellis has always been a brand known for its prints, and the “look” of this summer was indisputably a boldly printed camp shirt. Guys wore them over T-shirts and girls wore them with bike shorts; it’s a happily unisex trend. Creative Director Michael Maccari said the women in his office frequently shop the collection, and they’ve likely called dibs on the Spring 2020 shirts that mimic abstract paintings. Those shirts merged Maccari’s two key influences: the Luca Guadagnino film A Bigger Splash (set in Sicily and starring Tilda Swinton and Ralph Fiennes) and the artwork of David Hockney. Maccari was designing the collection last fall, just after one of Hockney’s famous swimming pool paintings sold for $90 million, making him the priciest living artist in history (though he was surpassed by Jeff Koons in May). Hockney’s crisp, deeply saturated paintings of water and nature informed the painterly prints, while the artist’s own preppy style informed the “nerdy” knit polos. Those items were bright spots in a classic-leaning collection. The news in suiting and 9-to-5 staples tend to be smaller tweaks at Perry Ellis, like changing the scale of a stripe or applying a special treatment to a suit to make it machine-washable. The guys (and girls) who are drawn to the more fun, vibrant printed shirts will likely skip the business stuff and consider the more casual pieces, like a buttery-soft garment-dyed twill chore jacket. Worn above by Ariana Ajtar, I don’t disagree that she looks great. I’d even say she looks stunning. Her lovely bronzed skin contrasts nicely with the bright yellow two-piece. She looks perfectly at ease and confident wearing this bikini – and why shouldn’t she?! She’s got a gorgeous figure (perky round boobs, small waistline accentuated by her wide hips) and should be proud to show it off. I have no issues with the top except for not having some kind of closure. These types of tops are annoyingly difficult to get on and off, especially if you’ve got a large bust. (Plus think about how much fun it is to quickly grab the tie-ends of a bikini top and give them a good tug – off it goes!) The overall sporty tank shape of the top is not my favorite but it works perfectly fine for some. Buy this shirt:  That’s what I do and I know things I ride tractors I play with Cows t-shirtv Tampa Bay Legends signatures t-shirt The major starting point for the Tampa Bay Legends signatures t-shirt Additionally,I will love this collection, Vaccarello said at a preview, was Marrakech in the ’70s (YSL was a habituée) reimagined as 21st-century Los Angeles, a city that resides on Vaccarello’s own emotional landscape. (He first visited when he was 14, and there have been many return visits.) While that’s some geographical leap, it’s not an unimaginable one; both locations speak to a yearning for a certain bohemian, free-spirited, almost mystical escape. “You come to L.A. for vacation,” Vaccarello said. “You can disconnect from the rest of the world.” The Morocco-by-way-of-LA-isms were smartly and sparingly deployed throughout the collection and considered flourishes, not theme-gone-wild. The tasseled hoods, djellaba shirting, and embroideries of tiny silver discs suspended from chains amplified the rigor of the classic YSL vestiaire that Vaccarello has been busy exploring (the saharienne, the sharp-as-a-tack tux) as well as the kind of pieces (the bomber, the spencer) that he has introduced into the house’s lexicon. At a time when men’s tailoring is coming back with a vengeance, there was plenty of it here that intrigued, including jackets whose shoulder seams ran on the bias, keeping the line defined, but, apparently, allowing for more comfort and mobility. After all, how else might you convince a generation accustomed to the freedom of streetwear to try tailoring on for the first time and keep it on? The other major reference for the collection was Mick Jagger, circa the Rolling Stones tour of 1975, where the lead singer got to shake a tail feather on stage (and off) in all sorts of glossy and glittery finery. Vaccarello understands, as Jagger did, that a man never looks more masculine than when he’s in satin and sparkle. So he took the opportunity to reference the androgyny of the glam-slam ’70s with one that reflects today: the gleaming black teddy jacket whose sleeves were cut with kimono-like proportions, for instance, or an ivory satin suit, which came with a matching silk shirt left undone save for the knot at the waist. (Jagger, incidentally, who gave Vaccarello access to his vintage YSL, is returning the compliment by wearing some pieces from this collection when the Stones start their U.S. tour later this month, including the cobalt blue-to-black dégradé beaded blouson.) Egyptian clothing, as were clothes from all ancient societies, was made from locally-sourced materials. Egyptian society was one of the earliest agricultural societies. That is why the ancient Egyptians wore light clothes made from linen. Linen is made from flax – a plant that was grown along the Nile. The picture to the right shows the flax growing process.

For instance, we’d seen the Tampa Bay football Pirate Skull shirt and by the same token and pool-dappled pattern—which is very attractive—not just at Kors’s Hockney-hashing collection, but also this season at MSGM (in a collection simply enough about summer). Yet that’s not to conclude this was an altogether poor debut from Marretta, who clearly has some serious knitwear petrol in his engine following his time in Milan. The double-face wool-blend track pants and rib-knit sweaters in violently opposing lifeguard-uniform yellow and red were, as he said, fun. So were his pieces of reversible outerwear in checks that mashed Prince of Wales against argyle, which matched his a-lot-like-Birkenstock sandals. The intarsia-homage diving-figure sweater was cute. But if Marretta is going to revisit British culture through his Italian eyes, he should either do it in a completely new manner or find lesser explored but still visually compelling aspects of the culture he has moved from Armani to dive into. “I am no longer an artist; I have become a work of art,” spoke a voiceover in the middle of Prada’s Spring 2020 men’s shoe, held, for the first time off home turf, in Shanghai. (Typically Miuccia Prada prefers to show her collections in the Fondazione Prada in Milan or at her New York office.) Later, the same voice said, “I feel myself a god.” Mrs. Prada has long maintained a reverent relationship with art, supporting and collaborating with her favorite creators, without ever formally declaring herself among their ranks—no word on the god situation. So, what were we to make of the statements pronounced, at techno speed, over a blue-lit runway at the Minsheng Art Wharf? To those at home in the Pradaverse, the words, lifted from Frankie Goes to Hollywood’s Welcome to the Pleasuredome, were Prada subversion at its best. In the show notes unlike her in situ shows, Mrs. P did not assemble journalists for a debrief the collection was described as one of optimism, suggesting that being hopeful can be an antidote for accepting the darkness of our actuality. It’s a continuation of the themes she launched at her recent women’s Resort show in New York, but when presented on male models, it took on a kinkier edge.  I fought my way, using the advantage of having a small body, bending, and shoving until I got there. Okay, I think I see it! The window that a teacher stands behind. I extended my hand with the money, gasping for breath as two big girls squished me from both sides.

There’s been a bat mitzvah, a supper club performance by Janelle Monáe (with an invite stating a black-and-white dress code, no less), and a moving gospel choir performance inside one of Brooklyn’s oldest, most storied theaters. Some on the circuit is already ringing the death knell for the traditional runway show format, and frankly, the differentiation has helped spice things up on the newly condensed calendar. Private Policy, a label based between Shanghai and New York from Chinese designers Haoran Li and Siying Qu, did the same, opting to show their Spring 2020 unisex label with a live model presentation at a SoHo gallery alongside a series of portraits photographed by Shxpir Huang. After Fashion Week, space will turn into a pop-up shop. The images feature real Asian-American families who all styled themselves in the latest Private Policy lineup, which includes their signature checkered pattern applied to the lapels of baby pink and seafoam green skirt- and short-suit sets. There were cool, raver-Esque harness tops and ring-detailed slip dresses, along with Li and Qu’s usual streetwear tees. They’ve titled their collection “Family Dinner,” and the idea was to highlight the often emotionally intense experience of an Asian-American family gathering around food. More forward-thinking youth will sometimes clash with the elders who are tied to their generational, conservative ideologies. The portraits of the families are meant to showcase just how varied Asian-American families can be: They can have older kids, both the mother and father can work, or two Asian men can get married and start their own family together. That last example is of great importance to Li and Qu, as they want to challenge gender bias and LGBTQ discrimination in their own culture, both at home and in America. I admire Catherine re-wearing so many beautiful dresses. She even has her children wearing hand-me-downs, which is wonderful and practical, but I love the times when all the men and ladies bring out their finest clothes and have their hair styled and royalty exudes a brilliance that Hollywood cannot recreate. Those State dinners are full of glitz and glam, and watching the royals wear their sashes and special pins, which are full of meaning, is otherworldly, almost. Nothing compares.

It would have been so dreamy to be able to hang around for the whole enchilada that promised via repeat performance and barbecue to be a fun evening. Held on the roof of a garage in the 9th arrondissement, the sun was still high and bright. In every direction but for the south around us was spread the infinite patchwork of Paris’s panorama. What blocked the southern aspect was a photographed replica of the view beyond, upon which was printed with the view, with the insertion of some new futuristic buildings two new towers by the Eiffel with alien ergonomic windows and walkways. Slightly to the east, the Pompidou had somehow been tripled in size. In front of the backdrop was a floor of boulder-strewn sand. When the rehearsal started, orchestrated by Stéphane Ashpool with an already-sunburned neck, we saw a sort of future-pagan tribe in flowing white and metallic raiments emerge. Behind started up the most awesome music urgent, mystic, blissed-out future jazz overseen by Kamaal Williams (with Alina Bzhezhinska on harp, Rick Leon James on bass, and Nathaniel Fuller on percussion). The first looks mixed patched robes with drawstring-shirred parkas and loose green organza pants that flapped like prayer flags in the breeze in a sort of Sun-Ra-meets-Logan’s-Run-meets-Buck-Rogers vibe. Then a group of dancers in powerfully colored double-faced pajama suits emerged and made patterns with movement around the first looks before a maypole ritual with strips of fabric. Next up were some looks by Ashpool proteges Theo Each-Cheikh and Yacine Keita, whom he has long mentored and now given creation space in his atelier. Finally were three Pigalle x Nike looks complete with Jumpmans and Jordans applied as a final flourish in a show interrupted only by a handsome dog that wandered onto the runway halfway through before being tenderly ejected by the designer. At the age of six, women start to wear clothes. Status was important in ancient Egypt. The higher the position, the thinner the material. Unlike men, women wore more conservative clothes. They wore full-length, straight dresses with one or two shoulder straps, with very little sewing, if any. These dresses, depending on the period, would lie below the breast, but most often covered the chest.

A palette of soft tonal colors, a slightly vintage insouciance, a fluidity of fit and balance of proportions come to mind when thinking of Purple Label’s signature aesthetic. Yet at today’s presentation at the label’s sumptuous Milanese headquarters, what stood out was a gorgeous, visually compelling lineup of brightly colored evening suits in shades of saturated yellow, fuchsia, and orange. Slim fitting and sharply cut in silk shantung, they looked exceptional, pointing towards an updated approach, with a zest of chic playfulness: “They’re tailored with a lighter construction, but still maintaining sartorial proportions,” said John Wrazej, executive vice president and creative director of men’s design. “They’re all handmade; it’s our uncompromising way of tailoring. They’re probably among the best suits you can find.” The collection also played on sophistication in the daywear offer, with tailoring in proprietary soft-toned wool-gabardine exuding a luxurious yet relaxed feel. An interesting alternative for summer evenings was a single-breasted cashmere blazer in a dense, sensual tobacco shade; paired with cream-colored fluid pants, “it’d look beautiful with a tan,” suggested Wrazej. A sporty allure featured prominently in a series of knitted intarsia sweaters and polo shirts with marine-inspired motifs, while nautical references were in evidence in officer’s jackets, wide-leg pants, and striped sweaters. But the most innovative aspect the collection were the RLX technical performance fabrics used for roomy, well-cut waterproof parkas and sailing jackets. “It’s nylon, a polyester yarn made using recycled plastic bottles,” explained Wrazej. ”It’s completely high-performance. The company is taking a strong stand towards going sustainable. For Fall we’ll have a lot more sustainable fabrics; probably 80 percent of our nylons and insulations will be made with sustainable yarns,” he continued. “The issue is front and center across the company, with very strict guidelines that over the next four or five years we’ll be shifting the label towards a much more environmentally conscious approach, even in manufacturing.” From that initial exciting experience it was not very long where I again felt the irresistible urge to try on my sister’s panties and a slip. Following a second experience I knew within myself that I would not be able to resist the temptation to try on panties and a slip again. My life from that point would include dressing up in panties and a slip whenever the opportunity presented, and when I experimented with a bra I then wanted to try on a skirt, stockings and then a dress. My sister had the most gorgeous assortment of very pretty panties and slips which was so enticing.

Some models wore cast metal rivets, or carried hatches and axes also cast in metal: It was unclear whether these “accessories” would be sold too. What does seem likely, however, is that if you purchase a pair of black Sterling Ruby blurry twig-print yoga pants (they were worn under a long, color-patched hand-knit cardigan), you might be making a fashion investment that truly accrues. When asked about the difference between making fashion and the production of art, Ruby said: “In many respects, outside of the logistics of putting together the collection and the garments in the kind of production of it I don’t see it as any different to making a sculpture or painting.” He added of making objects that are worn: “I kinda find that more rewarding. Not that I mind if somebody has a painting and hangs it on the wall, but it is fun to think of something going out into the world, and moving, and being something for people to see.” And will this be an every-season thing? “I think 15 minutes ago I may not have been able to say yes or no, but now…yes! It might not be seasonal, but I will do it again.” America’s most interesting new fashion designer is also one of its most prolific and successful contemporary artists. We were privileged to see those two worlds meet in a manger in Florence tonight. The experimentation doesn’t stop there. For the first time in Geller’s career, he is using sequins on tanks, trousers, and shorts. “I wanted to get myself out of my comfort zone,” he explains. It’s a funny way of putting it; the backs of the sequin garments are actually made of nylon ripstop, so they are comfortable to sit in. Even with a fantastical mood haunting this season, amplified by wigs by Chrystoph Marten, Geller can’t help but be pragmatic. I have dressed for nearly 30 years now having begun when I was 15 when I started experimenting. It commenced with my sisters silky nylon panties and her nylon and lace slips, and continued to progress to bras, silky sheer stockings, skirts, blouses, dresses and high heel shoes.

The shorts, which have been a mainstay of his women’s collections from the very beginning, made their men’s debut, as ragged denim cut-offs paired with a lean pinstriped jacket or an oversize trench. The blown-up proportions of the latter underscored the softer, looser—sensual, even—approach Vaccarello took here. It was a first for him, an indication he’s finding his comfort level with his men’s while also being able to dig in and challenge himself. “I love it now,” he said. “It might sound selfish to say this, but I really project myself into the pieces. I’m trying everything on.” Even, he said, the finale looks, a terrific line-up of super-wide, super-fluid black pants, in gauzy knit or crushed pleated silk, billowing and flowing from a high and often belted waist. Vaccarello showed them as the gray-skied swelling Pacific Ocean finally slid into darkness, but it looked a whole lot more like him seeing things in a new light. For all the ideas that Chitose Abe brought to these men’s and women’s collections, nothing was as surprising as her shout-out to The Big Lebowski. Sure, we have now come to expect fashion’s supreme remixer to place quotes within her collections; but “The rug really tied the room together” from the cult film felt especially left-field like some sort of creative non-sequitur. Could it be that Abe equates her signature hybridization to the rug? Not quite. Backstage, we learned that it was the “tying together” part that interested her and that she did this with two “familiar” pieces rather than her usual clashed combos. Wardrobe archetypes gray suit, a trench, a tuxedo, her standby MA1 jacket all figured in this new exercise, which gave the impression of a more dressed-up lineup, even if each look registered the same swingy nonchalance as always. Two of the highlights came right at the start: the tuxedo shirt and pants fused into a roomy dress, undone bowtie included, followed by the reworkings of suit jackets and shirts. Some looks were tied together based on proportions; see the mini MA1 vest over an inside-out jacket or else doubled-up denim jackets. Interestingly, the looks embellished with sequins gave off the same trace of grunge as some of the more obvious sun-struck flannels and mountaineering pants made in collaboration with Gramicci. Towards the end, men’s looks presented permutations of matching shirts and jackets in superpositions that would require buying both to achieve the same effect.

The word backstage doesn’t really fit the St.Patrick’s Day Slooth one lazy and lucky irish shirt besides I will buy this Palazzo Vecchio’s sumptuously frescoed courtyard, where the pre-show mayhem was in full swing. “No fashion show has ever been allowed in Piazza Della Signoria before,” said Andrew. “So this is definitely a major first.” It was also the first show with the designer in the role of creative director of both the men’s and women’s lines, and the first time that Ferragamo staged a fashion show in its hometown of Florence. The label contributed to the recently completed restoration of the majestic Fountain of Neptune, which dominates Piazza Della Signoria, the city’s beating heart. “It was this idea of coming home for Ferragamo,” said Andrew. “I thought, how epic would it be doing my first men’s show during Pitti, which celebrates its 30 birthday this year, with this spectacular fountain as a backdrop.” A little ego trip definitely goes a long way. Though everyone thought the idea was bonkers, Andrew persisted and lots of lengthy negotiations with the city mayor ensued. “And voilà! Here we are,” he exclaimed. To top this magnificent location, only a fashion show in Rome’s Saint Peter’s Square would do, but negotiating with the Pope would probably be a much trickier matter. As an homage to the city, a series of prints abstracting Neptune’s impressively toned torso graced a series of loose shirts and lightweight parachute parkas in delicate pastel hues. The charming, rather feminine color palette neutral tones breaking into more vibrant shades of sky blue and orange, softened by hints of lavender, mint, and periwinkle was one of the distinctive traits of the collection, which revolved around workwear templates rethought with a more formal, luxe flair, but without losing a sense of lightness. I would just like to point out that the money supply is part of the total wealth. The amount of total wealth that the money supply comprises can vary considerably, but if one wanted to figure out the real value of the money supply, then like any other form of wealth, we can use the inflation rate. So for example, if we had a money supply of 22 million dollars in the current year, it would be worth 20 million dollars 5 years ago, and its contribution to the total real wealth of the current year would be 20 million dollars. In real terms, 22 million dollars today is equal to 20 million dollars in the anchor year. Buy this shirt:  St.Patrick’s Day Slooth one lazy and lucky irish shirt Duck beer frunk as duck shirt It feels really personal to me,” said Robert Cavalli of his Florentine dandy-meets–British punk Spring collection. Indeed. What’s more personal than staging a presentation at your mother’s home? If the Duck beer frunk as duck shirt but I will buy this shirt and I will love this mother in question is Eva Cavalli, then expect the home to be lavish. Her Florentine apartment, ensconced in a noble palazzo in the heart of the old city, boasts a magnificent secret garden, lush with century-old trees overlooking an ancient monastery and a church. Models and guests were lounging on the lawns, seemingly without a care in the world. At his label Triple RRR, the young designer is honing a languid aesthetic infused with an underground vibe. He has a penchant for a decadent Renaissance mood and favors opulence of fabrications and flamboyant yet elegant silhouettes, which he undercuts with irreverence and a flair for subversion. His signature robes de chambre in silk satin were worn over denim and with combat boots, and strict British-inspired tailoring was smoothed with almost feminine accents, as in ribbon belts cinching the waists of elongated blazers. Slender suits were given a sensuous finish via sumptuous mauve silk moiré, while a Prince of Wales jacquard suit was printed with red tigers and esoteric symbols. A little homage to Vivienne Westwood never hurts. It’s well known that the Cavalli family is fond of keeping a menagerie of exotic animals as domestic pets (think snakes, monkeys, iguanas); the young Robert doesn’t stray from tradition. He drew inspiration from his 25-year-old parakeet, Tommaso, the presentation’s guest of honor, whose colorful plumage was reproduced as a painterly print on a denim jacket and matching pants, or on a liquid silk robe coat, worn with a pale blue metallic leather biker. But beyond his family legacy, Cavalli is carving a place for himself in the fashion arena. If he keeps true to his quite personal mix of romantic, sensual rebelliousness, it’ll be interesting to follow his label’s future steps. So this shows Keynes’ awareness that in reality spending does not represent the depletion of wealth. He realized that the solution for production shortages in a situation where we have un- or underutilized resources, (including un- or underemployed people), is to increase spending, not to decrease spending. He realized that the increased spending will, for the most, part lead to increased employment of resources and increased net production of wealth. He showed that in such a situation, due to the effect of producing new wealth and preserving current wealth, increased spending can cause increased total wealth, and a higher standard of living, and improved quality of life.

What was with Mickey Mouse? Does Tom Ford say long johns are an outerwear option now when did you get that memo? “This is all just my style,” said Takahiro Miyashita, his expression obliquely refracted through his John Lennon glasses after this interesting show. The collection seemed to be a kind of imaginative boyhood view of tropes of uniform the clothes that authority figures wear all messed up by a purposely blurred focus. There was a heavy gestalt feeling at play, yet the parts that made up the sum were in fact the meat and potatoes of this richly blended stew of auto-referential menswear. This was a collection based upon the aspirations of manhood we aspire to when immature, eroded by the knowledge gained through maturity. It was about lost love squandered and idiocy. Yes, it was also about a collaboration with Converse that introduced a new pimp-soled postmodern expression of Chuck. The collection was called Duet, but it was really a series of duets between Miyashita and his references. Between them, they created a handsome, soaring chorus in which the disappointment inherent in aspiring to fit into the uniform of masculine codes and then falling short of their impossible standards, hung long and slow in the air. Miyashita called this “a love song for fashion” and it was real love, true love, tough love. With externally worn underwear baring your soul, Soloist style. Textile company Albini collaborated with the designers to create a deckchair-striped cotton poplin which had a vaguely penitentiary feeling in all-over outfits for men. And then there was that catnip slogan tank-tee. It was taken directly from the shirt in a photo by Stanley Stellar of an attendee at 1995’s Wigstock Festival in New York, and those inverted-commas so hot right now made it especially funny. But if this show represented “fashion” or just fashion in Milan this afternoon, then it was pretty hard to hate. The first part, the savings that is the preservation of investment does not represent any change in the level of wealth. Reducing spending will not, in and of itself, cause any reduction in the level of wealth. This is because whether a given amount of money is used for spending or not, it still exists in the same amount at the end of the given time period.

If Stanley, Roche, and Romy could triple the Totoro I hate morning people and mornings and people t-shirt besides I will buy this size of their businesses, perhaps their prices would come down a little, but that isn’t their goal. The larger a company gets, the more difficult it becomes to keep track of the supply chain; we all remember how certain well-known brands didn’t even know their clothes were being produced in the collapsed Rana Plaza factory. Understanding scale also explains why a higher price doesn’t always equate to better fabrics and fair labor. A polyester dress might retail for $400 because the label produced it in small quantities and paid its workers—but it’s still polyester, and you shouldn’t waste $400 on something so environmentally damaging. Or maybe the brand made it in huge quantities and used cheap labor, but hiked the price to convince you it’s an elevated product. There’s always going to be confusion when it comes to price, and some brands are always going to value “brand equity” over their workforces. The only way you’ll really know if a price is worth your hard-earned cash is by digging deeper and demanding transparency from the brands you support. On the luxury side, designers and retailers are actively discussing how to become open and honest about price and quality. By explaining the origin of their fabrics, how their clothes are made, and who makes them, the hope is that customers will shop more confidently and will be motivated to invest in the story, not just the product or trend. In theory, that concept of mindful consumption could eventually trickle down to the high street. It isn’t going to fix climate change or fashion’s murky supply chain, but it’s the best way we can begin to make a difference—and by “we,” I mean those of us in the privileged position of having money to spend and the headspace to refine our shopping habits. The common rebuttal to the “fewer, better” approach is that some people can’t afford to pay more for clothes, and that’s absolutely true. But lower-income shoppers aren’t the ones creating the mess; they aren’t buying a new dress every week and then throwing it out. The people abusing the system are the ones who could afford to buy fewer, higher-quality items, and it’s our responsibility to use our power and influence to raise the bar for everyone else.

The only way she could lower her prices would be to take less profit or transition her business to a direct-to-consumer model, eliminating the Tom Brady TB12 Tampa Bay Buccaneers Super Bowl shirt so you should to go to store and get this retail markup. (Given the state of department stores, many of her peers are likely thinking the same thing.) In the meantime, the best thing she can do is educate her customers about precisely why her new hand-embroidered organic cotton dress costs $550. Stanley openly shared the cost breakdown here: $24 covers the organic cotton and dyes; the intricate handwork comes in at $48, because it took an embroiderer a full day to make the dress; production labor, including sewing, pattern-making, sampling, finishing, and packing, was $48; trims, including the labels, hang tag, and dust bag, were $5; shipping was $8; and duties were $24. Her total cost came to $157, and in order to keep the final price lower, she took just a 1.59x margin, bumping the wholesale price to $250. (This means Stanley would earn $93 in profit when a store orders the dress.) With the typical retail margin of 2.2x, the final price tag on the rack in a boutique is $550. I’ve been trying to make it a point to tell the story of my clothes, but it’s hard to be honest and say, ‘This is my cost, this is how much I make on this piece, this is why you should support my brand and the people who made it,’” Stanley says. “I love going to a store, and I have friends who have boutiques and work so hard. They deserve to make that margin, but the retail markup is really why clothes get so expensive. That’s where I get stuck.” If you’re of the “buy less, buy better” mentality, it isn’t hard to justify the higher price. Plenty of Stanley’s customers are investment-minded and care about her commitment to ethical, sustainable, small-batch production, but some still need to be convinced that it’s “worth” buying one of her dresses instead of five cheaper versions. Lucette Romy, the founder of The Wylde, an organic label handmade in Bali, has had similar conversations with her customers about the higher price of organic cotton, botanical dyes, and dignified labor. “But it often isn’t enough to change their minds,” she says. So she found another way to get the point across: Every item on her site comes with a cost-per-wear breakdown. Her new organic cotton dress goes for 260 Australian dollars, or $178, but if you wear it 10 times, it’s $18 per wear.

In the Tom Brady Tampa Bay Buccaneers t-shirt What’s more,I will buy this long run, it’s more advantageous both economically and for the environment to invest in fewer, more expensive pieces crafted to withstand time, rather than indulging in trend-forward pieces that may not hold up physically or aesthetically after a few wears. Buying quality jewelry is not just about achieving a good cost-per-wear ratio— investment pieces are about longevity too. A classic piece that feels perfectly aligned with your style tends to age with grace, making it feel even more valuable as time presses on. Maybe the watch or ring you buy now will become a family heirloom, or maybe it’s something you’ll want to wear for decades. A classic trench coat will always be a wardrobe staple in transitional weather. From quality jewelry to clothing, here are the investment pieces that will stand the test of time and may even be history in the making. Read that again, and the idea of a T-shirt being “worth” $5 might seem preposterous, if not criminal. How is it possible that all of those materials, logistics, and people amount to just dollars or cents? Many of those costs are fixed; the price of cotton isn’t negotiable, even at scale. The person who made the T-shirt, on the other hand, is a lot easier to exploit. It would be reckless to claim that every low-priced good was made by an underpaid laborer, but it’s also just simple math. “It really blows my mind,” Ryan Roche said on a recent call. “I can crunch the numbers, and even with the cheapest fabrics, I don’t understand how it’s possible. Someone is sewing that T-shirt, and they’re being paid pennies.” Fast fashion’s exploitation and hidden supply chains aren’t new revelations, but when we talk about the mistreated workers or the environmental impact of disposable clothes, we’re ignoring a third impact on the consumer. The “race to the bottom” has totally ruined our perception of value; we literally have no idea what our clothes (or food, or anything else) should cost, and low prices have become so normalized that we don’t even second-guess them. In fact, despite statistics that suggest millennial and Gen Z shoppers care deeply about sustainability, the fast fashion market is actually growing—and the clothes are getting cheaper. It doesn’t help that luxury is getting more expensive in tandem.

After all, a stretch of sand is “the perfect exercise medium,” according to the fitness guru Lydia Bach, who camouflaged some of her most effective toners as ordinary seaside activities in an Ishimuro-lensed fitness guide in Vogue’s July 1976 issue. Nearly 45 years later, those exercises—whether achieved while applying sunscreen or searching through a straw tote—are still stealth stretching and shaping at its very best. Exercises for thighs and lower stomach. Sit, legs outstretched. Leaning forward acts as a weight to thighs, makes exercise more difficult. Try to get hands past your knees on sand (near ankles is advanced strength). As you raise leg off sand, don’t let hands budge. Keep leg raised, point and flex foot 10 times. The lower you are able to lean, the more you increase stretch in lower back. Bike helmets unlock some deep-seated middle school discomfort around what is “cool.” For me, it’s enough to ruin the freeing experience of riding a bicycle in the first place. Suffice it to say: I hate helmets. Like many, I signed up for a Citibike membership as a way to get around during the pandemic. You should, of course, always wear a helmet. But I reasoned that since there weren’t any cars on the road, I could get away without one. That reasoning kind of worked during the weeks of no traffic, but as the city started opening up so did my chance of a head injury. So, much like wearing a face mask, I was compelled to do the responsible thing and find one that I could deal with. I went to Google and typed in a few key search terms: “chic bike helmets” “bike helmet fashion” and “cool helmets.” Many hours later, what I found is that no helmet is actually cool, chic, or fashionable. However, some are aesthetically better than others. I didn’t want an overly designed helmet, so that knocked out anything with an unusual shape, too much color, or a pattern. I found myself drawn towards darker solid colors (black, navy) and sleeker designs. They felt less offensive and more in line with my (all black) wardrobe. What I also learned in my research rabbit hole is that if you are going to get a helmet, which, again, you should, it should have MIPS technology (a.k.a.

As the Tiger face mask I survived 100 masked school days shirt Besides,I will do this Pham sisters tell Vogue, they wished to “reclaim and celebrate Asian flavors, Asian stories, and Asian culture.” Vanessa describes walking down the “ethnic” aisle in mainstream grocery stores, where she and her sister noticed a big disconnect between the items available on shelves and who they served (and didn’t).“A lot of those products were not made with folks like us in the room. And so, that was just a fundamental cornerstone of our business since day one,” says Kim. The sisters decided to join forces to create Omsom. Kim, brought her 10-year-long experience working with startups in venture capital while Vanessa, a graduate from Harvard, had a breadth of business-savvy experience working at Bain & Company advising Fortune 500 companies. The key to Omsom’s brilliance is that it solves a simple, yet common dilemma so many first-generation Asian-Americans can relate to—trying to recreate convoluted recipes our parents used to make with little to no access to the myriad of ingredients required and a lack of knowledge and understanding on how to actually make these dishes. For me, one of the most difficult parts of Asian cooking has always been exactly this—finding the right ingredients to bring the rich, bold Vietnamese flavors to life. The right seasonings, chilis, sauces can make for a grocery list that extends 10 items or longer. Kim similarly shares, “I would be on the phone with mom, [with] mom being like, ‘Add the right amount of fish sauce.’ And we’d be like, ‘Five teaspoons or tablespoons?’” says Kim. But here, this process is made simple in one easy-to-use sauce packet. For Kim and Vanessa, their connection with food has been present throughout their lives. Food has “been a way that we connect with our identity and understand our culture,” says Vanessa, who in fact, recalls mentioning her favorite Vietnamese soup dish “Bun Bo Hue” (a beef and vermicelli noodle soup) in the starting line of her college essay. For many Asian families (mine included) love was conveyed through food. “Food was always a huge part of our family, but in many ways, quite unspoken. You might not say, ‘I love you,’ but you’ll put a piece of fruit [out] to apologize,” says Kim. “We’ve found it to be an important language, in a way, for us to reclaim what it means to share Asian culture in a way that’s undiluted,” Vanessa adds.

She sported an oversized top the There’s a starman waiting in the sky bowie vintage shirt but in fact I love this ’90s English rock band known for hits such as “Wonderwall” and “Don’t Look Back In Anger.” The star styled her merch with mini shorts and slide sandals. It’s a striking look for a few reasons. First, the band choice itself: was Turner’s ode to the group inspired by a recent listen of Spotify’s ’90s playlist? Does she also have “Wonderwall” stuck in her head? Her fit also the perfect balance of what maternity style should be: it’s cute and comfy, with a dash of individuality. Jonas, meanwhile, wore a Hawaiian-print shirt with black jeans and sneakers—proving he, too, is making dad-to-be style cool. Let’s also talk about their coordinated face masks. Turner’s printed mask complemented Jonas’s galaxy-printed one by Werkshop. They didn’t match exactly (are couples meant to match masks now?) It’s only practical to buy masks in bulk; so why not double up on masks and start making it a couple style moment? Only time will tell if Jonas and Turner will start doing so. But for now, they’re clearly nailing the expectant parent look. Two years ago, when Andrea Kerzner—founder of the nonprofit Lalela, and daughter of South African super-hotelier Sol Kerzner—discovered how the meat industry was fueling climate change, she decided to open a casual plant-based restaurant that focused on the ultimate comfort food: burgers. She set out to find the best chef for the job, interviewing several candidates before finding Amanda Cohen, the executive chef and owner of Dirt Candy, an award-winning vegetarian restaurant that has been in New York City since 2008. “I met with Amanda and literally there and then I could see her passion for food,” says Kerzner. “Within 24 hours, she agreed to work with me.” The two set about creating Lekka (Afrikaans slang for “delicious”), an all-vegan restaurant that opens November 19th in Tribeca. The restaurant’s signature dish is a vegan burger, served five different ways. For Cohen, creating a plant-based burger required overcoming some of her own prejudices. “We haven’t had a burger ever on the menu at Dirt Candy. And I had been against it, to be brutally honest,” says Cohen. “ Buy this shirt:  There’s a starman waiting in the sky bowie vintage shirt The brawl for it all Godzilla vs King Kong the most clash of titans shirt This year’s CFDA Awards were a casualty of the The brawl for it all Godzilla vs King Kong the most clash of titans shirt moreover I will buy this COVID-19 pandemic. Originally scheduled for Monday, June 8, they would’ve kicked off NYFW: Resort and New York’s June men’s collections, both of which were likewise canceled. But the show must go on—virtually at least. This year’s winners will be announced on both CFDA.com and the CFDA’s social channels on Monday, September 14, which is the first day of a shortened New York Fashion Week. It too is shaping up to be a largely digital affair. The awards would’ve been the first presided over by Ford as chairman. He had been planning changes, instituting two new prizes, the global women’s designer of the year and the global men’s designer of the year, to replace the international award, which last year went to Sarah Burton of Alexander McQueen. In lieu of the in-person event, we will be prioritizing new and existing programming to support our designer community during the global pandemic—by redirecting efforts towards next-generation scholarships and making important changes to bring racial equity to the fashion industry,” said Steven Kolb, president and CEO of the CFDA, in the same statement. Racial equity remains an issue in the industry, however. Of the 15 designers nominated in the top American awards categories, only Kerby Jean-Raymond of Pyer Moss, Telfar Clemens, and Peter Do are people of color. The emerging designer category is more diverse and includes Christopher John Rogers, who was last year’s CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund winner. Summer has officially arrived as of last week, and while June swiftly turns into July, the days are growing warmer and warmer, thus affecting our closets. This year, the best clothing sales will make it easier to shop for summery pieces like dresses and tops that stand up well in the hot days ahead, understanding that our wardrobes will look a bit different than in year’s past. With so much time spent at home, on-trend pieces like clog sandals (or any kind of special shoe) have quickly taken a backseat to tried-and-true wardrobe essentials, like crisp white dress shirts that will have you Zoom-ready in a pinch, or soft tees that pair well with sweats and jeans. Basics that can be worn day in and day out, whether at home or out and about (following social distancing precautions, of course), have unexpectedly climbed the ranks to become must-haves this summer.

The brand recently launched the That’s what I do and I know things I ride tractors I play with Cows t-shirt but I will buy this shirt and I will love this nostalgia-soaked diffusion line called Perry Ellis America, made up exclusively of archival pieces plucked from its ’80s heyday. Think: color-blocked windbreakers, logo’d hoodies, and track pants. (Justin and Hailey Bieber are already fans.) As for the mainline, Perry Ellis has always been a brand known for its prints, and the “look” of this summer was indisputably a boldly printed camp shirt. Guys wore them over T-shirts and girls wore them with bike shorts; it’s a happily unisex trend. Creative Director Michael Maccari said the women in his office frequently shop the collection, and they’ve likely called dibs on the Spring 2020 shirts that mimic abstract paintings. Those shirts merged Maccari’s two key influences: the Luca Guadagnino film A Bigger Splash (set in Sicily and starring Tilda Swinton and Ralph Fiennes) and the artwork of David Hockney. Maccari was designing the collection last fall, just after one of Hockney’s famous swimming pool paintings sold for $90 million, making him the priciest living artist in history (though he was surpassed by Jeff Koons in May). Hockney’s crisp, deeply saturated paintings of water and nature informed the painterly prints, while the artist’s own preppy style informed the “nerdy” knit polos. Those items were bright spots in a classic-leaning collection. The news in suiting and 9-to-5 staples tend to be smaller tweaks at Perry Ellis, like changing the scale of a stripe or applying a special treatment to a suit to make it machine-washable. The guys (and girls) who are drawn to the more fun, vibrant printed shirts will likely skip the business stuff and consider the more casual pieces, like a buttery-soft garment-dyed twill chore jacket. Worn above by Ariana Ajtar, I don’t disagree that she looks great. I’d even say she looks stunning. Her lovely bronzed skin contrasts nicely with the bright yellow two-piece. She looks perfectly at ease and confident wearing this bikini – and why shouldn’t she?! She’s got a gorgeous figure (perky round boobs, small waistline accentuated by her wide hips) and should be proud to show it off. I have no issues with the top except for not having some kind of closure. These types of tops are annoyingly difficult to get on and off, especially if you’ve got a large bust. (Plus think about how much fun it is to quickly grab the tie-ends of a bikini top and give them a good tug – off it goes!) The overall sporty tank shape of the top is not my favorite but it works perfectly fine for some.

(He first visited when he was 14, and there have been many return visits.) While that’s some geographical leap, it’s not an unimaginable one; both locations speak to a yearning for a certain bohemian, free-spirited, almost mystical escape. “You come to L.A. for vacation,” Vaccarello said. “You can disconnect from the rest of the world.” The Morocco-by-way-of-LA-isms were smartly and sparingly deployed throughout the collection and considered flourishes, not theme-gone-wild. The tasseled hoods, djellaba shirting, and embroideries of tiny silver discs suspended from chains amplified the rigor of the classic YSL vestiaire that Vaccarello has been busy exploring (the saharienne, the sharp-as-a-tack tux) as well as the kind of pieces (the bomber, the spencer) that he has introduced into the house’s lexicon. At a time when men’s tailoring is coming back with a vengeance, there was plenty of it here that intrigued, including jackets whose shoulder seams ran on the bias, keeping the line defined, but, apparently, allowing for more comfort and mobility. After all, how else might you convince a generation accustomed to the freedom of streetwear to try tailoring on for the first time and keep it on? The other major reference for the collection was Mick Jagger, circa the Rolling Stones tour of 1975, where the lead singer got to shake a tail feather on stage (and off) in all sorts of glossy and glittery finery. Vaccarello understands, as Jagger did, that a man never looks more masculine than when he’s in satin and sparkle. So he took the opportunity to reference the androgyny of the glam-slam ’70s with one that reflects today: the gleaming black teddy jacket whose sleeves were cut with kimono-like proportions, for instance, or an ivory satin suit, which came with a matching silk shirt left undone save for the knot at the waist. (Jagger, incidentally, who gave Vaccarello access to his vintage YSL, is returning the compliment by wearing some pieces from this collection when the Stones start their U.S. tour later this month, including the cobalt blue-to-black dégradé beaded blouson.) Egyptian clothing, as were clothes from all ancient societies, was made from locally-sourced materials. Egyptian society was one of the earliest agricultural societies. That is why the ancient Egyptians wore light clothes made from linen. Linen is made from flax – a plant that was grown along the Nile. The picture to the right shows the flax growing process.

For instance, we’d seen the Tampa Bay football Pirate Skull shirt and by the same token and pool-dappled pattern—which is very attractive—not just at Kors’s Hockney-hashing collection, but also this season at MSGM (in a collection simply enough about summer). Yet that’s not to conclude this was an altogether poor debut from Marretta, who clearly has some serious knitwear petrol in his engine following his time in Milan. The double-face wool-blend track pants and rib-knit sweaters in violently opposing lifeguard-uniform yellow and red were, as he said, fun. So were his pieces of reversible outerwear in checks that mashed Prince of Wales against argyle, which matched his a-lot-like-Birkenstock sandals. The intarsia-homage diving-figure sweater was cute. But if Marretta is going to revisit British culture through his Italian eyes, he should either do it in a completely new manner or find lesser explored but still visually compelling aspects of the culture he has moved from Armani to dive into. “I am no longer an artist; I have become a work of art,” spoke a voiceover in the middle of Prada’s Spring 2020 men’s shoe, held, for the first time off home turf, in Shanghai. (Typically Miuccia Prada prefers to show her collections in the Fondazione Prada in Milan or at her New York office.) Later, the same voice said, “I feel myself a god.” Mrs. Prada has long maintained a reverent relationship with art, supporting and collaborating with her favorite creators, without ever formally declaring herself among their ranks—no word on the god situation. So, what were we to make of the statements pronounced, at techno speed, over a blue-lit runway at the Minsheng Art Wharf? To those at home in the Pradaverse, the words, lifted from Frankie Goes to Hollywood’s Welcome to the Pleasuredome, were Prada subversion at its best. In the show notes unlike her in situ shows, Mrs. P did not assemble journalists for a debrief the collection was described as one of optimism, suggesting that being hopeful can be an antidote for accepting the darkness of our actuality. It’s a continuation of the themes she launched at her recent women’s Resort show in New York, but when presented on male models, it took on a kinkier edge.  I fought my way, using the advantage of having a small body, bending, and shoving until I got there.

There’s been a bat mitzvah, a supper club performance by Janelle Monáe (with an invite stating a black-and-white dress code, no less), and a moving gospel choir performance inside one of Brooklyn’s oldest, most storied theaters. Some on the circuit is already ringing the death knell for the traditional runway show format, and frankly, the differentiation has helped spice things up on the newly condensed calendar. Private Policy, a label based between Shanghai and New York from Chinese designers Haoran Li and Siying Qu, did the same, opting to show their Spring 2020 unisex label with a live model presentation at a SoHo gallery alongside a series of portraits photographed by Shxpir Huang. After Fashion Week, space will turn into a pop-up shop. The images feature real Asian-American families who all styled themselves in the latest Private Policy lineup, which includes their signature checkered pattern applied to the lapels of baby pink and seafoam green skirt- and short-suit sets. There were cool, raver-Esque harness tops and ring-detailed slip dresses, along with Li and Qu’s usual streetwear tees. They’ve titled their collection “Family Dinner,” and the idea was to highlight the often emotionally intense experience of an Asian-American family gathering around food. More forward-thinking youth will sometimes clash with the elders who are tied to their generational, conservative ideologies. The portraits of the families are meant to showcase just how varied Asian-American families can be: They can have older kids, both the mother and father can work, or two Asian men can get married and start their own family together. That last example is of great importance to Li and Qu, as they want to challenge gender bias and LGBTQ discrimination in their own culture, both at home and in America. I admire Catherine re-wearing so many beautiful dresses. She even has her children wearing hand-me-downs, which is wonderful and practical, but I love the times when all the men and ladies bring out their finest clothes and have their hair styled and royalty exudes a brilliance that Hollywood cannot recreate. Those State dinners are full of glitz and glam, and watching the royals wear their sashes and special pins, which are full of meaning, is otherworldly, almost. Nothing compares.

It would have been so dreamy to be able to hang around for the whole enchilada that promised via repeat performance and barbecue to be a fun evening. Held on the roof of a garage in the 9th arrondissement, the sun was still high and bright. In every direction but for the south around us was spread the infinite patchwork of Paris’s panorama. What blocked the southern aspect was a photographed replica of the view beyond, upon which was printed with the view, with the insertion of some new futuristic buildings two new towers by the Eiffel with alien ergonomic windows and walkways. Slightly to the east, the Pompidou had somehow been tripled in size. In front of the backdrop was a floor of boulder-strewn sand. When the rehearsal started, orchestrated by Stéphane Ashpool with an already-sunburned neck, we saw a sort of future-pagan tribe in flowing white and metallic raiments emerge. Behind started up the most awesome music urgent, mystic, blissed-out future jazz overseen by Kamaal Williams (with Alina Bzhezhinska on harp, Rick Leon James on bass, and Nathaniel Fuller on percussion). The first looks mixed patched robes with drawstring-shirred parkas and loose green organza pants that flapped like prayer flags in the breeze in a sort of Sun-Ra-meets-Logan’s-Run-meets-Buck-Rogers vibe. Then a group of dancers in powerfully colored double-faced pajama suits emerged and made patterns with movement around the first looks before a maypole ritual with strips of fabric. Next up were some looks by Ashpool proteges Theo Each-Cheikh and Yacine Keita, whom he has long mentored and now given creation space in his atelier. Finally were three Pigalle x Nike looks complete with Jumpmans and Jordans applied as a final flourish in a show interrupted only by a handsome dog that wandered onto the runway halfway through before being tenderly ejected by the designer. At the age of six, women start to wear clothes. Status was important in ancient Egypt. The higher the position, the thinner the material. Unlike men, women wore more conservative clothes. They wore full-length, straight dresses with one or two shoulder straps, with very little sewing, if any. These dresses, depending on the period, would lie below the breast, but most often covered the chest.

A palette of soft tonal colors, a slightly vintage insouciance, a fluidity of fit and balance of proportions come to mind when thinking of Purple Label’s signature aesthetic. Yet at today’s presentation at the label’s sumptuous Milanese headquarters, what stood out was a gorgeous, visually compelling lineup of brightly colored evening suits in shades of saturated yellow, fuchsia, and orange. Slim fitting and sharply cut in silk shantung, they looked exceptional, pointing towards an updated approach, with a zest of chic playfulness: “They’re tailored with a lighter construction, but still maintaining sartorial proportions,” said John Wrazej, executive vice president and creative director of men’s design. “They’re all handmade; it’s our uncompromising way of tailoring. They’re probably among the best suits you can find.” The collection also played on sophistication in the daywear offer, with tailoring in proprietary soft-toned wool-gabardine exuding a luxurious yet relaxed feel. An interesting alternative for summer evenings was a single-breasted cashmere blazer in a dense, sensual tobacco shade; paired with cream-colored fluid pants, “it’d look beautiful with a tan,” suggested Wrazej. A sporty allure featured prominently in a series of knitted intarsia sweaters and polo shirts with marine-inspired motifs, while nautical references were in evidence in officer’s jackets, wide-leg pants, and striped sweaters. But the most innovative aspect the collection were the RLX technical performance fabrics used for roomy, well-cut waterproof parkas and sailing jackets. “It’s nylon, a polyester yarn made using recycled plastic bottles,” explained Wrazej. ”It’s completely high-performance. The company is taking a strong stand towards going sustainable. For Fall we’ll have a lot more sustainable fabrics; probably 80 percent of our nylons and insulations will be made with sustainable yarns,” he continued. “The issue is front and center across the company, with very strict guidelines that over the next four or five years we’ll be shifting the label towards a much more environmentally conscious approach, even in manufacturing.” From that initial exciting experience it was not very long where I again felt the irresistible urge to try on my sister’s panties and a slip. Following a second experience I knew within myself that I would not be able to resist the temptation to try on panties and a slip again. My life from that point would include dressing up in panties and a slip whenever the opportunity presented, and when I experimented with a bra I then wanted to try on a skirt, stockings and then a dress. My sister had the most gorgeous assortment of very pretty panties and slips which was so enticing.

Some models wore cast metal rivets, or carried hatches and axes also cast in metal: It was unclear whether these “accessories” would be sold too. What does seem likely, however, is that if you purchase a pair of black Sterling Ruby blurry twig-print yoga pants (they were worn under a long, color-patched hand-knit cardigan), you might be making a fashion investment that truly accrues. When asked about the difference between making fashion and the production of art, Ruby said: “In many respects, outside of the logistics of putting together the collection and the garments in the kind of production of it I don’t see it as any different to making a sculpture or painting.” He added of making objects that are worn: “I kinda find that more rewarding. Not that I mind if somebody has a painting and hangs it on the wall, but it is fun to think of something going out into the world, and moving, and being something for people to see.” And will this be an every-season thing? “I think 15 minutes ago I may not have been able to say yes or no, but now…yes! It might not be seasonal, but I will do it again.” America’s most interesting new fashion designer is also one of its most prolific and successful contemporary artists. We were privileged to see those two worlds meet in a manger in Florence tonight. The experimentation doesn’t stop there. For the first time in Geller’s career, he is using sequins on tanks, trousers, and shorts. “I wanted to get myself out of my comfort zone,” he explains. It’s a funny way of putting it; the backs of the sequin garments are actually made of nylon ripstop, so they are comfortable to sit in. Even with a fantastical mood haunting this season, amplified by wigs by Chrystoph Marten, Geller can’t help but be pragmatic. I have dressed for nearly 30 years now having begun when I was 15 when I started experimenting. It commenced with my sisters silky nylon panties and her nylon and lace slips, and continued to progress to bras, silky sheer stockings, skirts, blouses, dresses and high heel shoes.

The shorts, which have been a mainstay of his women’s collections from the very beginning, made their men’s debut, as ragged denim cut-offs paired with a lean pinstriped jacket or an oversize trench. The blown-up proportions of the latter underscored the softer, looser—sensual, even—approach Vaccarello took here. It was a first for him, an indication he’s finding his comfort level with his men’s while also being able to dig in and challenge himself. “I love it now,” he said. “It might sound selfish to say this, but I really project myself into the pieces. I’m trying everything on.” Even, he said, the finale looks, a terrific line-up of super-wide, super-fluid black pants, in gauzy knit or crushed pleated silk, billowing and flowing from a high and often belted waist. Vaccarello showed them as the gray-skied swelling Pacific Ocean finally slid into darkness, but it looked a whole lot more like him seeing things in a new light. For all the ideas that Chitose Abe brought to these men’s and women’s collections, nothing was as surprising as her shout-out to The Big Lebowski. Sure, we have now come to expect fashion’s supreme remixer to place quotes within her collections; but “The rug really tied the room together” from the cult film felt especially left-field like some sort of creative non-sequitur. Could it be that Abe equates her signature hybridization to the rug? Not quite. Backstage, we learned that it was the “tying together” part that interested her and that she did this with two “familiar” pieces rather than her usual clashed combos. Wardrobe archetypes gray suit, a trench, a tuxedo, her standby MA1 jacket all figured in this new exercise, which gave the impression of a more dressed-up lineup, even if each look registered the same swingy nonchalance as always. Two of the highlights came right at the start: the tuxedo shirt and pants fused into a roomy dress, undone bowtie included, followed by the reworkings of suit jackets and shirts. Some looks were tied together based on proportions; see the mini MA1 vest over an inside-out jacket or else doubled-up denim jackets. Interestingly, the looks embellished with sequins gave off the same trace of grunge as some of the more obvious sun-struck flannels and mountaineering pants made in collaboration with Gramicci. Towards the end, men’s looks presented permutations of matching shirts and jackets in superpositions that would require buying both to achieve the same effect.

The word backstage doesn’t really fit the St.Patrick’s Day Slooth one lazy and lucky irish shirt besides I will buy this Palazzo Vecchio’s sumptuously frescoed courtyard, where the pre-show mayhem was in full swing. “No fashion show has ever been allowed in Piazza Della Signoria before,” said Andrew. “So this is definitely a major first.” It was also the first show with the designer in the role of creative director of both the men’s and women’s lines, and the first time that Ferragamo staged a fashion show in its hometown of Florence. The label contributed to the recently completed restoration of the majestic Fountain of Neptune, which dominates Piazza Della Signoria, the city’s beating heart. “It was this idea of coming home for Ferragamo,” said Andrew. “I thought, how epic would it be doing my first men’s show during Pitti, which celebrates its 30 birthday this year, with this spectacular fountain as a backdrop.” A little ego trip definitely goes a long way. Though everyone thought the idea was bonkers, Andrew persisted and lots of lengthy negotiations with the city mayor ensued. “And voilà! Here we are,” he exclaimed. To top this magnificent location, only a fashion show in Rome’s Saint Peter’s Square would do, but negotiating with the Pope would probably be a much trickier matter. As an homage to the city, a series of prints abstracting Neptune’s impressively toned torso graced a series of loose shirts and lightweight parachute parkas in delicate pastel hues. The charming, rather feminine color palette neutral tones breaking into more vibrant shades of sky blue and orange, softened by hints of lavender, mint, and periwinkle was one of the distinctive traits of the collection, which revolved around workwear templates rethought with a more formal, luxe flair, but without losing a sense of lightness. I would just like to point out that the money supply is part of the total wealth. The amount of total wealth that the money supply comprises can vary considerably, but if one wanted to figure out the real value of the money supply, then like any other form of wealth, we can use the inflation rate. So for example, if we had a money supply of 22 million dollars in the current year, it would be worth 20 million dollars 5 years ago, and its contribution to the total real wealth of the current year would be 20 million dollars. In real terms, 22 million dollars today is equal to 20 million dollars in the anchor year. Buy this shirt:  St.Patrick’s Day Slooth one lazy and lucky irish shirt Duck beer frunk as duck shirt It feels really personal to me,” said Robert Cavalli of his Florentine dandy-meets–British punk Spring collection. Indeed. What’s more personal than staging a presentation at your mother’s home? If the Duck beer frunk as duck shirt but I will buy this shirt and I will love this mother in question is Eva Cavalli, then expect the home to be lavish. Her Florentine apartment, ensconced in a noble palazzo in the heart of the old city, boasts a magnificent secret garden, lush with century-old trees overlooking an ancient monastery and a church. Models and guests were lounging on the lawns, seemingly without a care in the world. At his label Triple RRR, the young designer is honing a languid aesthetic infused with an underground vibe. He has a penchant for a decadent Renaissance mood and favors opulence of fabrications and flamboyant yet elegant silhouettes, which he undercuts with irreverence and a flair for subversion. His signature robes de chambre in silk satin were worn over denim and with combat boots, and strict British-inspired tailoring was smoothed with almost feminine accents, as in ribbon belts cinching the waists of elongated blazers. Slender suits were given a sensuous finish via sumptuous mauve silk moiré, while a Prince of Wales jacquard suit was printed with red tigers and esoteric symbols. A little homage to Vivienne Westwood never hurts. It’s well known that the Cavalli family is fond of keeping a menagerie of exotic animals as domestic pets (think snakes, monkeys, iguanas); the young Robert doesn’t stray from tradition. He drew inspiration from his 25-year-old parakeet, Tommaso, the presentation’s guest of honor, whose colorful plumage was reproduced as a painterly print on a denim jacket and matching pants, or on a liquid silk robe coat, worn with a pale blue metallic leather biker. But beyond his family legacy, Cavalli is carving a place for himself in the fashion arena. If he keeps true to his quite personal mix of romantic, sensual rebelliousness, it’ll be interesting to follow his label’s future steps. So this shows Keynes’ awareness that in reality spending does not represent the depletion of wealth. He realized that the solution for production shortages in a situation where we have un- or underutilized resources, (including un- or underemployed people), is to increase spending, not to decrease spending. He realized that the increased spending will, for the most, part lead to increased employment of resources and increased net production of wealth. He showed that in such a situation, due to the effect of producing new wealth and preserving current wealth, increased spending can cause increased total wealth, and a higher standard of living, and improved quality of life.

What was with Mickey Mouse? Does Tom Ford say long johns are an outerwear option now when did you get that memo? “This is all just my style,” said Takahiro Miyashita, his expression obliquely refracted through his John Lennon glasses after this interesting show. The collection seemed to be a kind of imaginative boyhood view of tropes of uniform the clothes that authority figures wear all messed up by a purposely blurred focus. There was a heavy gestalt feeling at play, yet the parts that made up the sum were in fact the meat and potatoes of this richly blended stew of auto-referential menswear. This was a collection based upon the aspirations of manhood we aspire to when immature, eroded by the knowledge gained through maturity. It was about lost love squandered and idiocy. Yes, it was also about a collaboration with Converse that introduced a new pimp-soled postmodern expression of Chuck. The collection was called Duet, but it was really a series of duets between Miyashita and his references. Between them, they created a handsome, soaring chorus in which the disappointment inherent in aspiring to fit into the uniform of masculine codes and then falling short of their impossible standards, hung long and slow in the air. Miyashita called this “a love song for fashion” and it was real love, true love, tough love. With externally worn underwear baring your soul, Soloist style. Textile company Albini collaborated with the designers to create a deckchair-striped cotton poplin which had a vaguely penitentiary feeling in all-over outfits for men. And then there was that catnip slogan tank-tee. It was taken directly from the shirt in a photo by Stanley Stellar of an attendee at 1995’s Wigstock Festival in New York, and those inverted-commas so hot right now made it especially funny. But if this show represented “fashion” or just fashion in Milan this afternoon, then it was pretty hard to hate. The first part, the savings that is the preservation of investment does not represent any change in the level of wealth. Reducing spending will not, in and of itself, cause any reduction in the level of wealth. This is because whether a given amount of money is used for spending or not, it still exists in the same amount at the end of the given time period.

If Stanley, Roche, and Romy could triple the Totoro I hate morning people and mornings and people t-shirt besides I will buy this size of their businesses, perhaps their prices would come down a little, but that isn’t their goal. The larger a company gets, the more difficult it becomes to keep track of the supply chain; we all remember how certain well-known brands didn’t even know their clothes were being produced in the collapsed Rana Plaza factory. Understanding scale also explains why a higher price doesn’t always equate to better fabrics and fair labor. A polyester dress might retail for $400 because the label produced it in small quantities and paid its workers—but it’s still polyester, and you shouldn’t waste $400 on something so environmentally damaging. Or maybe the brand made it in huge quantities and used cheap labor, but hiked the price to convince you it’s an elevated product. There’s always going to be confusion when it comes to price, and some brands are always going to value “brand equity” over their workforces. The only way you’ll really know if a price is worth your hard-earned cash is by digging deeper and demanding transparency from the brands you support. On the luxury side, designers and retailers are actively discussing how to become open and honest about price and quality. By explaining the origin of their fabrics, how their clothes are made, and who makes them, the hope is that customers will shop more confidently and will be motivated to invest in the story, not just the product or trend. In theory, that concept of mindful consumption could eventually trickle down to the high street. It isn’t going to fix climate change or fashion’s murky supply chain, but it’s the best way we can begin to make a difference—and by “we,” I mean those of us in the privileged position of having money to spend and the headspace to refine our shopping habits. The common rebuttal to the “fewer, better” approach is that some people can’t afford to pay more for clothes, and that’s absolutely true. But lower-income shoppers aren’t the ones creating the mess; they aren’t buying a new dress every week and then throwing it out. The people abusing the system are the ones who could afford to buy fewer, higher-quality items, and it’s our responsibility to use our power and influence to raise the bar for everyone else. Buy this shirt:  Totoro I hate morning people and mornings and people t-shirt Tom Brady TB12 Tampa Bay Buccaneers Super Bowl shirt Another designer might cut her costs by using cheaper fabrics or cheaper labor, but Stanley is committed to her family-run factory in Delhi, India, and won’t compromise on high-quality, organic fabrics. The only way she could lower her prices would be to take less profit or transition her business to a direct-to-consumer model, eliminating the Tom Brady TB12 Tampa Bay Buccaneers Super Bowl shirt so you should to go to store and get this retail markup. (Given the state of department stores, many of her peers are likely thinking the same thing.) In the meantime, the best thing she can do is educate her customers about precisely why her new hand-embroidered organic cotton dress costs $550. Stanley openly shared the cost breakdown here: $24 covers the organic cotton and dyes; the intricate handwork comes in at $48, because it took an embroiderer a full day to make the dress; production labor, including sewing, pattern-making, sampling, finishing, and packing, was $48; trims, including the labels, hang tag, and dust bag, were $5; shipping was $8; and duties were $24. Her total cost came to $157, and in order to keep the final price lower, she took just a 1.59x margin, bumping the wholesale price to $250. (This means Stanley would earn $93 in profit when a store orders the dress.) With the typical retail margin of 2.2x, the final price tag on the rack in a boutique is $550. I’ve been trying to make it a point to tell the story of my clothes, but it’s hard to be honest and say, ‘This is my cost, this is how much I make on this piece, this is why you should support my brand and the people who made it,’” Stanley says. “I love going to a store, and I have friends who have boutiques and work so hard. They deserve to make that margin, but the retail markup is really why clothes get so expensive. That’s where I get stuck.” If you’re of the “buy less, buy better” mentality, it isn’t hard to justify the higher price. Plenty of Stanley’s customers are investment-minded and care about her commitment to ethical, sustainable, small-batch production, but some still need to be convinced that it’s “worth” buying one of her dresses instead of five cheaper versions. Lucette Romy, the founder of The Wylde, an organic label handmade in Bali, has had similar conversations with her customers about the higher price of organic cotton, botanical dyes, and dignified labor. “But it often isn’t enough to change their minds,” she says. So she found another way to get the point across: Every item on her site comes with a cost-per-wear breakdown. Her new organic cotton dress goes for 260 Australian dollars, or $178, but if you wear it 10 times, it’s $18 per wear. Buy this shirt:  Tom Brady TB12 Tampa Bay Buccaneers Super Bowl shirt Tom Brady Tampa Bay Buccaneers t-shirt There’s merit in investing in timeless pieces like quality jewelry and clothing that are built to last (even though purchasing a Cartier watch may not always be plausible). In the Tom Brady Tampa Bay Buccaneers t-shirt What’s more,I will buy this long run, it’s more advantageous both economically and for the environment to invest in fewer, more expensive pieces crafted to withstand time, rather than indulging in trend-forward pieces that may not hold up physically or aesthetically after a few wears. Buying quality jewelry is not just about achieving a good cost-per-wear ratio— investment pieces are about longevity too. A classic piece that feels perfectly aligned with your style tends to age with grace, making it feel even more valuable as time presses on. Maybe the watch or ring you buy now will become a family heirloom, or maybe it’s something you’ll want to wear for decades. A classic trench coat will always be a wardrobe staple in transitional weather. From quality jewelry to clothing, here are the investment pieces that will stand the test of time and may even be history in the making. Read that again, and the idea of a T-shirt being “worth” $5 might seem preposterous, if not criminal. How is it possible that all of those materials, logistics, and people amount to just dollars or cents? Many of those costs are fixed; the price of cotton isn’t negotiable, even at scale. The person who made the T-shirt, on the other hand, is a lot easier to exploit. It would be reckless to claim that every low-priced good was made by an underpaid laborer, but it’s also just simple math. “It really blows my mind,” Ryan Roche said on a recent call. “I can crunch the numbers, and even with the cheapest fabrics, I don’t understand how it’s possible. Someone is sewing that T-shirt, and they’re being paid pennies.” Fast fashion’s exploitation and hidden supply chains aren’t new revelations, but when we talk about the mistreated workers or the environmental impact of disposable clothes, we’re ignoring a third impact on the consumer. The “race to the bottom” has totally ruined our perception of value; we literally have no idea what our clothes (or food, or anything else) should cost, and low prices have become so normalized that we don’t even second-guess them. In fact, despite statistics that suggest millennial and Gen Z shoppers care deeply about sustainability, the fast fashion market is actually growing—and the clothes are getting cheaper. It doesn’t help that luxury is getting more expensive in tandem.

After all, a stretch of sand is “the perfect exercise medium,” according to the fitness guru Lydia Bach, who camouflaged some of her most effective toners as ordinary seaside activities in an Ishimuro-lensed fitness guide in Vogue’s July 1976 issue. Nearly 45 years later, those exercises—whether achieved while applying sunscreen or searching through a straw tote—are still stealth stretching and shaping at its very best. Exercises for thighs and lower stomach. Sit, legs outstretched. Leaning forward acts as a weight to thighs, makes exercise more difficult. Try to get hands past your knees on sand (near ankles is advanced strength). As you raise leg off sand, don’t let hands budge. Keep leg raised, point and flex foot 10 times. The lower you are able to lean, the more you increase stretch in lower back. Bike helmets unlock some deep-seated middle school discomfort around what is “cool.” For me, it’s enough to ruin the freeing experience of riding a bicycle in the first place. Suffice it to say: I hate helmets. Like many, I signed up for a Citibike membership as a way to get around during the pandemic. You should, of course, always wear a helmet. But I reasoned that since there weren’t any cars on the road, I could get away without one. That reasoning kind of worked during the weeks of no traffic, but as the city started opening up so did my chance of a head injury. So, much like wearing a face mask, I was compelled to do the responsible thing and find one that I could deal with. I went to Google and typed in a few key search terms: “chic bike helmets” “bike helmet fashion” and “cool helmets.” Many hours later, what I found is that no helmet is actually cool, chic, or fashionable. However, some are aesthetically better than others. I didn’t want an overly designed helmet, so that knocked out anything with an unusual shape, too much color, or a pattern. I found myself drawn towards darker solid colors (black, navy) and sleeker designs. They felt less offensive and more in line with my (all black) wardrobe. What I also learned in my research rabbit hole is that if you are going to get a helmet, which, again, you should, it should have MIPS technology (a.k.a.

As the Tiger face mask I survived 100 masked school days shirt Besides,I will do this Pham sisters tell Vogue, they wished to “reclaim and celebrate Asian flavors, Asian stories, and Asian culture.” Vanessa describes walking down the “ethnic” aisle in mainstream grocery stores, where she and her sister noticed a big disconnect between the items available on shelves and who they served (and didn’t).“A lot of those products were not made with folks like us in the room. And so, that was just a fundamental cornerstone of our business since day one,” says Kim. The sisters decided to join forces to create Omsom. Kim, brought her 10-year-long experience working with startups in venture capital while Vanessa, a graduate from Harvard, had a breadth of business-savvy experience working at Bain & Company advising Fortune 500 companies. The key to Omsom’s brilliance is that it solves a simple, yet common dilemma so many first-generation Asian-Americans can relate to—trying to recreate convoluted recipes our parents used to make with little to no access to the myriad of ingredients required and a lack of knowledge and understanding on how to actually make these dishes. For me, one of the most difficult parts of Asian cooking has always been exactly this—finding the right ingredients to bring the rich, bold Vietnamese flavors to life. The right seasonings, chilis, sauces can make for a grocery list that extends 10 items or longer. Kim similarly shares, “I would be on the phone with mom, [with] mom being like, ‘Add the right amount of fish sauce.’ And we’d be like, ‘Five teaspoons or tablespoons?’” says Kim. But here, this process is made simple in one easy-to-use sauce packet. For Kim and Vanessa, their connection with food has been present throughout their lives. Food has “been a way that we connect with our identity and understand our culture,” says Vanessa, who in fact, recalls mentioning her favorite Vietnamese soup dish “Bun Bo Hue” (a beef and vermicelli noodle soup) in the starting line of her college essay. For many Asian families (mine included) love was conveyed through food. “Food was always a huge part of our family, but in many ways, quite unspoken. You might not say, ‘I love you,’ but you’ll put a piece of fruit [out] to apologize,” says Kim. “We’ve found it to be an important language, in a way, for us to reclaim what it means to share Asian culture in a way that’s undiluted,” Vanessa adds.

She sported an oversized top the There’s a starman waiting in the sky bowie vintage shirt but in fact I love this ’90s English rock band known for hits such as “Wonderwall” and “Don’t Look Back In Anger.” The star styled her merch with mini shorts and slide sandals. It’s a striking look for a few reasons. First, the band choice itself: was Turner’s ode to the group inspired by a recent listen of Spotify’s ’90s playlist? Does she also have “Wonderwall” stuck in her head? Her fit also the perfect balance of what maternity style should be: it’s cute and comfy, with a dash of individuality. Jonas, meanwhile, wore a Hawaiian-print shirt with black jeans and sneakers—proving he, too, is making dad-to-be style cool. Let’s also talk about their coordinated face masks. Turner’s printed mask complemented Jonas’s galaxy-printed one by Werkshop. They didn’t match exactly (are couples meant to match masks now?) It’s only practical to buy masks in bulk; so why not double up on masks and start making it a couple style moment? Only time will tell if Jonas and Turner will start doing so. But for now, they’re clearly nailing the expectant parent look. Two years ago, when Andrea Kerzner—founder of the nonprofit Lalela, and daughter of South African super-hotelier Sol Kerzner—discovered how the meat industry was fueling climate change, she decided to open a casual plant-based restaurant that focused on the ultimate comfort food: burgers. She set out to find the best chef for the job, interviewing several candidates before finding Amanda Cohen, the executive chef and owner of Dirt Candy, an award-winning vegetarian restaurant that has been in New York City since 2008. “I met with Amanda and literally there and then I could see her passion for food,” says Kerzner. “Within 24 hours, she agreed to work with me.” The two set about creating Lekka (Afrikaans slang for “delicious”), an all-vegan restaurant that opens November 19th in Tribeca. The restaurant’s signature dish is a vegan burger, served five different ways. For Cohen, creating a plant-based burger required overcoming some of her own prejudices. “We haven’t had a burger ever on the menu at Dirt Candy. And I had been against it, to be brutally honest,” says Cohen. “ Buy this shirt:  There’s a starman waiting in the sky bowie vintage shirt The brawl for it all Godzilla vs King Kong the most clash of titans shirt This year’s CFDA Awards were a casualty of the The brawl for it all Godzilla vs King Kong the most clash of titans shirt moreover I will buy this COVID-19 pandemic. Originally scheduled for Monday, June 8, they would’ve kicked off NYFW: Resort and New York’s June men’s collections, both of which were likewise canceled. But the show must go on—virtually at least. This year’s winners will be announced on both CFDA.com and the CFDA’s social channels on Monday, September 14, which is the first day of a shortened New York Fashion Week. It too is shaping up to be a largely digital affair. The awards would’ve been the first presided over by Ford as chairman. He had been planning changes, instituting two new prizes, the global women’s designer of the year and the global men’s designer of the year, to replace the international award, which last year went to Sarah Burton of Alexander McQueen. In lieu of the in-person event, we will be prioritizing new and existing programming to support our designer community during the global pandemic—by redirecting efforts towards next-generation scholarships and making important changes to bring racial equity to the fashion industry,” said Steven Kolb, president and CEO of the CFDA, in the same statement. Racial equity remains an issue in the industry, however. Of the 15 designers nominated in the top American awards categories, only Kerby Jean-Raymond of Pyer Moss, Telfar Clemens, and Peter Do are people of color. The emerging designer category is more diverse and includes Christopher John Rogers, who was last year’s CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund winner. Summer has officially arrived as of last week, and while June swiftly turns into July, the days are growing warmer and warmer, thus affecting our closets. This year, the best clothing sales will make it easier to shop for summery pieces like dresses and tops that stand up well in the hot days ahead, understanding that our wardrobes will look a bit different than in year’s past. With so much time spent at home, on-trend pieces like clog sandals (or any kind of special shoe) have quickly taken a backseat to tried-and-true wardrobe essentials, like crisp white dress shirts that will have you Zoom-ready in a pinch, or soft tees that pair well with sweats and jeans. Basics that can be worn day in and day out, whether at home or out and about (following social distancing precautions, of course), have unexpectedly climbed the ranks to become must-haves this summer. Buy this shirt:  The brawl for it all Godzilla vs King Kong the most clash of titans shirt That’s what I do and I know things I ride tractors I play with Cows t-shirt Perry Ellis has a lot going for it in 2019. The brand recently launched the That’s what I do and I know things I ride tractors I play with Cows t-shirt but I will buy this shirt and I will love this nostalgia-soaked diffusion line called Perry Ellis America, made up exclusively of archival pieces plucked from its ’80s heyday. Think: color-blocked windbreakers, logo’d hoodies, and track pants. (Justin and Hailey Bieber are already fans.) As for the mainline, Perry Ellis has always been a brand known for its prints, and the “look” of this summer was indisputably a boldly printed camp shirt. Guys wore them over T-shirts and girls wore them with bike shorts; it’s a happily unisex trend. Creative Director Michael Maccari said the women in his office frequently shop the collection, and they’ve likely called dibs on the Spring 2020 shirts that mimic abstract paintings. Those shirts merged Maccari’s two key influences: the Luca Guadagnino film A Bigger Splash (set in Sicily and starring Tilda Swinton and Ralph Fiennes) and the artwork of David Hockney. Maccari was designing the collection last fall, just after one of Hockney’s famous swimming pool paintings sold for $90 million, making him the priciest living artist in history (though he was surpassed by Jeff Koons in May). Hockney’s crisp, deeply saturated paintings of water and nature informed the painterly prints, while the artist’s own preppy style informed the “nerdy” knit polos. Those items were bright spots in a classic-leaning collection. The news in suiting and 9-to-5 staples tend to be smaller tweaks at Perry Ellis, like changing the scale of a stripe or applying a special treatment to a suit to make it machine-washable. The guys (and girls) who are drawn to the more fun, vibrant printed shirts will likely skip the business stuff and consider the more casual pieces, like a buttery-soft garment-dyed twill chore jacket. Worn above by Ariana Ajtar, I don’t disagree that she looks great. I’d even say she looks stunning. Her lovely bronzed skin contrasts nicely with the bright yellow two-piece. She looks perfectly at ease and confident wearing this bikini – and why shouldn’t she?! She’s got a gorgeous figure (perky round boobs, small waistline accentuated by her wide hips) and should be proud to show it off. I have no issues with the top except for not having some kind of closure. These types of tops are annoyingly difficult to get on and off, especially if you’ve got a large bust. (Plus think about how much fun it is to quickly grab the tie-ends of a bikini top and give them a good tug – off it goes!) The overall sporty tank shape of the top is not my favorite but it works perfectly fine for some.

(He first visited when he was 14, and there have been many return visits.) While that’s some geographical leap, it’s not an unimaginable one; both locations speak to a yearning for a certain bohemian, free-spirited, almost mystical escape. “You come to L.A. for vacation,” Vaccarello said. “You can disconnect from the rest of the world.” The Morocco-by-way-of-LA-isms were smartly and sparingly deployed throughout the collection and considered flourishes, not theme-gone-wild. The tasseled hoods, djellaba shirting, and embroideries of tiny silver discs suspended from chains amplified the rigor of the classic YSL vestiaire that Vaccarello has been busy exploring (the saharienne, the sharp-as-a-tack tux) as well as the kind of pieces (the bomber, the spencer) that he has introduced into the house’s lexicon. At a time when men’s tailoring is coming back with a vengeance, there was plenty of it here that intrigued, including jackets whose shoulder seams ran on the bias, keeping the line defined, but, apparently, allowing for more comfort and mobility. After all, how else might you convince a generation accustomed to the freedom of streetwear to try tailoring on for the first time and keep it on? The other major reference for the collection was Mick Jagger, circa the Rolling Stones tour of 1975, where the lead singer got to shake a tail feather on stage (and off) in all sorts of glossy and glittery finery. Vaccarello understands, as Jagger did, that a man never looks more masculine than when he’s in satin and sparkle. So he took the opportunity to reference the androgyny of the glam-slam ’70s with one that reflects today: the gleaming black teddy jacket whose sleeves were cut with kimono-like proportions, for instance, or an ivory satin suit, which came with a matching silk shirt left undone save for the knot at the waist. (Jagger, incidentally, who gave Vaccarello access to his vintage YSL, is returning the compliment by wearing some pieces from this collection when the Stones start their U.S. tour later this month, including the cobalt blue-to-black dégradé beaded blouson.) Egyptian clothing, as were clothes from all ancient societies, was made from locally-sourced materials. Egyptian society was one of the earliest agricultural societies. That is why the ancient Egyptians wore light clothes made from linen. Linen is made from flax – a plant that was grown along the Nile. The picture to the right shows the flax growing process.

For instance, we’d seen the Tampa Bay football Pirate Skull shirt and by the same token and pool-dappled pattern—which is very attractive—not just at Kors’s Hockney-hashing collection, but also this season at MSGM (in a collection simply enough about summer). Yet that’s not to conclude this was an altogether poor debut from Marretta, who clearly has some serious knitwear petrol in his engine following his time in Milan. The double-face wool-blend track pants and rib-knit sweaters in violently opposing lifeguard-uniform yellow and red were, as he said, fun. So were his pieces of reversible outerwear in checks that mashed Prince of Wales against argyle, which matched his a-lot-like-Birkenstock sandals. The intarsia-homage diving-figure sweater was cute. But if Marretta is going to revisit British culture through his Italian eyes, he should either do it in a completely new manner or find lesser explored but still visually compelling aspects of the culture he has moved from Armani to dive into. “I am no longer an artist; I have become a work of art,” spoke a voiceover in the middle of Prada’s Spring 2020 men’s shoe, held, for the first time off home turf, in Shanghai. (Typically Miuccia Prada prefers to show her collections in the Fondazione Prada in Milan or at her New York office.) Later, the same voice said, “I feel myself a god.” Mrs. Prada has long maintained a reverent relationship with art, supporting and collaborating with her favorite creators, without ever formally declaring herself among their ranks—no word on the god situation. So, what were we to make of the statements pronounced, at techno speed, over a blue-lit runway at the Minsheng Art Wharf? To those at home in the Pradaverse, the words, lifted from Frankie Goes to Hollywood’s Welcome to the Pleasuredome, were Prada subversion at its best. In the show notes unlike her in situ shows, Mrs. P did not assemble journalists for a debrief the collection was described as one of optimism, suggesting that being hopeful can be an antidote for accepting the darkness of our actuality. It’s a continuation of the themes she launched at her recent women’s Resort show in New York, but when presented on male models, it took on a kinkier edge.  I fought my way, using the advantage of having a small body, bending, and shoving until I got there. Okay, I think I see it! The window that a teacher stands behind. I extended my hand with the money, gasping for breath as two big girls squished me from both sides.

There’s been a bat mitzvah, a supper club performance by Janelle Monáe (with an invite stating a black-and-white dress code, no less), and a moving gospel choir performance inside one of Brooklyn’s oldest, most storied theaters. Some on the circuit is already ringing the death knell for the traditional runway show format, and frankly, the differentiation has helped spice things up on the newly condensed calendar. Private Policy, a label based between Shanghai and New York from Chinese designers Haoran Li and Siying Qu, did the same, opting to show their Spring 2020 unisex label with a live model presentation at a SoHo gallery alongside a series of portraits photographed by Shxpir Huang. After Fashion Week, space will turn into a pop-up shop. The images feature real Asian-American families who all styled themselves in the latest Private Policy lineup, which includes their signature checkered pattern applied to the lapels of baby pink and seafoam green skirt- and short-suit sets. There were cool, raver-Esque harness tops and ring-detailed slip dresses, along with Li and Qu’s usual streetwear tees. They’ve titled their collection “Family Dinner,” and the idea was to highlight the often emotionally intense experience of an Asian-American family gathering around food. More forward-thinking youth will sometimes clash with the elders who are tied to their generational, conservative ideologies. The portraits of the families are meant to showcase just how varied Asian-American families can be: They can have older kids, both the mother and father can work, or two Asian men can get married and start their own family together. That last example is of great importance to Li and Qu, as they want to challenge gender bias and LGBTQ discrimination in their own culture, both at home and in America. I admire Catherine re-wearing so many beautiful dresses. She even has her children wearing hand-me-downs, which is wonderful and practical, but I love the times when all the men and ladies bring out their finest clothes and have their hair styled and royalty exudes a brilliance that Hollywood cannot recreate. Those State dinners are full of glitz and glam, and watching the royals wear their sashes and special pins, which are full of meaning, is otherworldly, almost. Nothing compares.

It would have been so dreamy to be able to hang around for the whole enchilada that promised via repeat performance and barbecue to be a fun evening. Held on the roof of a garage in the 9th arrondissement, the sun was still high and bright. In every direction but for the south around us was spread the infinite patchwork of Paris’s panorama. What blocked the southern aspect was a photographed replica of the view beyond, upon which was printed with the view, with the insertion of some new futuristic buildings two new towers by the Eiffel with alien ergonomic windows and walkways. Slightly to the east, the Pompidou had somehow been tripled in size. In front of the backdrop was a floor of boulder-strewn sand. When the rehearsal started, orchestrated by Stéphane Ashpool with an already-sunburned neck, we saw a sort of future-pagan tribe in flowing white and metallic raiments emerge. Behind started up the most awesome music urgent, mystic, blissed-out future jazz overseen by Kamaal Williams (with Alina Bzhezhinska on harp, Rick Leon James on bass, and Nathaniel Fuller on percussion). The first looks mixed patched robes with drawstring-shirred parkas and loose green organza pants that flapped like prayer flags in the breeze in a sort of Sun-Ra-meets-Logan’s-Run-meets-Buck-Rogers vibe. Then a group of dancers in powerfully colored double-faced pajama suits emerged and made patterns with movement around the first looks before a maypole ritual with strips of fabric. Next up were some looks by Ashpool proteges Theo Each-Cheikh and Yacine Keita, whom he has long mentored and now given creation space in his atelier. Finally were three Pigalle x Nike looks complete with Jumpmans and Jordans applied as a final flourish in a show interrupted only by a handsome dog that wandered onto the runway halfway through before being tenderly ejected by the designer. At the age of six, women start to wear clothes. Status was important in ancient Egypt. The higher the position, the thinner the material. Unlike men, women wore more conservative clothes. They wore full-length, straight dresses with one or two shoulder straps, with very little sewing, if any. These dresses, depending on the period, would lie below the breast, but most often covered the chest.

A palette of soft tonal colors, a slightly vintage insouciance, a fluidity of fit and balance of proportions come to mind when thinking of Purple Label’s signature aesthetic. Yet at today’s presentation at the label’s sumptuous Milanese headquarters, what stood out was a gorgeous, visually compelling lineup of brightly colored evening suits in shades of saturated yellow, fuchsia, and orange. Slim fitting and sharply cut in silk shantung, they looked exceptional, pointing towards an updated approach, with a zest of chic playfulness: “They’re tailored with a lighter construction, but still maintaining sartorial proportions,” said John Wrazej, executive vice president and creative director of men’s design. “They’re all handmade; it’s our uncompromising way of tailoring. They’re probably among the best suits you can find.” The collection also played on sophistication in the daywear offer, with tailoring in proprietary soft-toned wool-gabardine exuding a luxurious yet relaxed feel. An interesting alternative for summer evenings was a single-breasted cashmere blazer in a dense, sensual tobacco shade; paired with cream-colored fluid pants, “it’d look beautiful with a tan,” suggested Wrazej. A sporty allure featured prominently in a series of knitted intarsia sweaters and polo shirts with marine-inspired motifs, while nautical references were in evidence in officer’s jackets, wide-leg pants, and striped sweaters. But the most innovative aspect the collection were the RLX technical performance fabrics used for roomy, well-cut waterproof parkas and sailing jackets. “It’s nylon, a polyester yarn made using recycled plastic bottles,” explained Wrazej. ”It’s completely high-performance. The company is taking a strong stand towards going sustainable. For Fall we’ll have a lot more sustainable fabrics; probably 80 percent of our nylons and insulations will be made with sustainable yarns,” he continued. “The issue is front and center across the company, with very strict guidelines that over the next four or five years we’ll be shifting the label towards a much more environmentally conscious approach, even in manufacturing.” From that initial exciting experience it was not very long where I again felt the irresistible urge to try on my sister’s panties and a slip. Following a second experience I knew within myself that I would not be able to resist the temptation to try on panties and a slip again. My life from that point would include dressing up in panties and a slip whenever the opportunity presented, and when I experimented with a bra I then wanted to try on a skirt, stockings and then a dress. My sister had the most gorgeous assortment of very pretty panties and slips which was so enticing.

Some models wore cast metal rivets, or carried hatches and axes also cast in metal: It was unclear whether these “accessories” would be sold too. What does seem likely, however, is that if you purchase a pair of black Sterling Ruby blurry twig-print yoga pants (they were worn under a long, color-patched hand-knit cardigan), you might be making a fashion investment that truly accrues. When asked about the difference between making fashion and the production of art, Ruby said: “In many respects, outside of the logistics of putting together the collection and the garments in the kind of production of it I don’t see it as any different to making a sculpture or painting.” He added of making objects that are worn: “I kinda find that more rewarding. Not that I mind if somebody has a painting and hangs it on the wall, but it is fun to think of something going out into the world, and moving, and being something for people to see.” And will this be an every-season thing? “I think 15 minutes ago I may not have been able to say yes or no, but now…yes! It might not be seasonal, but I will do it again.” America’s most interesting new fashion designer is also one of its most prolific and successful contemporary artists. We were privileged to see those two worlds meet in a manger in Florence tonight. The experimentation doesn’t stop there. For the first time in Geller’s career, he is using sequins on tanks, trousers, and shorts. “I wanted to get myself out of my comfort zone,” he explains. It’s a funny way of putting it; the backs of the sequin garments are actually made of nylon ripstop, so they are comfortable to sit in. Even with a fantastical mood haunting this season, amplified by wigs by Chrystoph Marten, Geller can’t help but be pragmatic. I have dressed for nearly 30 years now having begun when I was 15 when I started experimenting. It commenced with my sisters silky nylon panties and her nylon and lace slips, and continued to progress to bras, silky sheer stockings, skirts, blouses, dresses and high heel shoes.
