Nuancedream loves reading about fashion history, but never knew the iconic Playboy bunny costume was designed by pioneering African American designer Zelda Wynn Valdes.  

Runcarla loved this video about vintage style, but not vintage values. She thought the contributors were very thoughtful and articulate.

She also enjoyed this article about the future of street style and folks who document it.

Angie was pleased to see that Boden — who gets a chunk of her fashion budget these days — is second on this list of ethical and sustainable brands betting against fast fashion.

Walmart has announced they’re closing for Thanksgiving this year. Laura (rhubarbgirl) adds: “It will be interesting to see if other retailers follow suit, and whether Black Friday will be a thing this year at all.”

Joyce B wanted to share this article on changes in fashion during the pandemic. She says: “I hope they got it wrong about the jeans, there is nothing better than a pair of nice, comfortable and roomy jeans.”

kkards found this article on Diane von Furstenberg interesting for many reasons.
