Taking away the dress code might exacerbate this inequity.

It puts into practice the dramatic or more subtle juxtaposition of casual and dressy wardrobe items, which defines our current fashion era. Slouch with tailoring, sporty items with formal ones, and a whole lot of creative remixing so that we wear wardrobe items for longer and in new ways. A sustainable style solution!&nbsp;</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.vogue.co.uk/vogue-editors-new-season-outfits">https://www.vogue.co.uk/vogue-.....on-outfits</a>&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-bi-weekly-links-here-173#post-2339382 Sun, 24 Sep 2023 17:26:47 +0000 Olive Green 2339382@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Margaret Howell’s high quality classic workwear is bit of an inspiration for me.

It is white cotton with an eyelet/broderie anglaise border.&nbsp; I was Googling for similar looks ( I can't fit the slip now but might keep it for granddaughter later) and enjoyed this article from this year.

Their reflections on cultural identity (both are Vietnamese-American) and how it informs their relationship to clothing and consumer goods in general was really thought provoking for me. </p> <p>(Note: the design photos included feature some nudity, so perhaps NSFW.)</p> <p><a href="https://ceromagazine.com/articles/peter-do-ocean-vuong-conversation-vietnamese-designer-poet-helmut-lang-time-is-mother" rel="nofollow">https://ceromagazine.com/artic.....-is-mother</a></p> <p>“I realized that the idea of the imposter is such a beautiful idea, the idea that someone can disguise and sneak in the back door with their head down and just do the threading work and then one day, put their head up and there's a fashion house or a book under their name. It reminds me of when you talk about repair and recycling, it reminds me of when the French and the American occupational forces left Vietnam, and we would cut the tires off of military vehicles and make sandals because the rubber was so strong. The strength and innovation of a military meant to destroy us was salvaged into footwear.“ </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-bi-weekly-links-here-173#post-2339237 Fri, 22 Sep 2023 15:55:54 +0000 Carla 2339237@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I found this discussion of the role the fantasy self plays in style and fashion quite moving. &nbsp;Watched it twice, actually. &nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="https://youtu.be/OzDGaPlUd8A?si=t-m-n0ESIMVOR-TR">https://youtu.be/OzDGaPlUd8A?si=t-m-n0ESIMVOR-TR</a> </p> I think the takeaway was not that the fantasy self takes away from one’s style, but &nbsp;needs to be acknowledged, understood, and honoured - but in balance with real life. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-bi-weekly-links-here-173#post-2339188 Fri, 22 Sep 2023 10:29:53 +0000 Inge 2339188@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>Hi sweet Fabbers,</div><div><br /></div><div>You know the drill:-)</div><div><br /></div><div>Pop your style-related link in the comments section below, and let us know why it caught your eye.</div><div><br /></div><div>Thank you and have a lovely Friday!<br /></div> </p>
