This past spring, The New York Times’s chief fashion critic, Vanessa Friedman, <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2017/04/06/fashion/covered-up-fashion-style-of-the-decade.html">declared modest fashion</a>a defining trend of the 2010s, with brands as varied as Céline, with its enveloping, cocoon-like garments, Erdem, with its long-sleeved, high-collared Victoriana dresses, and Vetements, with its almost comically outsize getups, all promoting the look. As Friedman argued, in a vulnerable, volatile time — perhaps one particularly so for women — figure-obscuring clothing serves as a kind of armor, as well as a retort to a reality-TV-inured culture apparently intent on exposing any private moment, any intimate body part, for public consumption. Once we’ve seen it all — from Emily Ratajkowski’s fabulous breasts to Kim Kardashian’s monumental butt — it now seems as if the most radical gesture could only involve donning a baggy jumpsuit or a generously cut midi-skirt.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-bi-weekly-links-here-25#post-1858898 Tue, 07 Nov 2017 20:57:36 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1858898@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just came to post a similar item to approprio's, about TJ Maxx/Marshalls paying employees in its temporarily closed stores in Puerto Rico:</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.thecut.com/2017/11/tj-maxx-still-paying-workers-at-closed-puerto-rico-stores.html">https://www.thecut.com/2017/11.....tores.html</a></p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-bi-weekly-links-here-25#post-1858821 Tue, 07 Nov 2017 14:31:17 +0000 L'Abeille 1858821@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have no idea how to begin to describe this, so I'm just putting it here.</p> <p><a href="https://www.thehairpin.com/2017/06/the-1830s-are-back-like-a-statement-sleeve/" rel="nofollow">https://www.thehairpin.com/201.....nt-sleeve/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-bi-weekly-links-here-25#post-1858811 Tue, 07 Nov 2017 13:27:38 +0000 approprio 1858811@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>On the bright side, TJX are doing their best to support their employees in stricken Puerto Rico.<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.bostonglobe.com/business/2017/11/02/tjx-paying-its-employees-puerto-rico-even-though-stores-remain-closed/mnFoB2RqD6s46HnR3ioanN/story.html">https://www.bostonglobe.com/bu.....though-sto</a></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-bi-weekly-links-here-25#post-1858807 Tue, 07 Nov 2017 12:45:26 +0000 krishnidoux 1858807@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Did you hear about this plea from Zara workers?&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/fashion/zara-istanbul-unpaid-workers-inditex-bravo-clothing-tags-notes-a8037256.html">http://www.independent.co.uk/l.....-clothing-</a><br />There is another article attached to this one, about a woman who found a dead mouse in the seam of her new Zara dress she was wearing: <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/fashion/zara-dress-dead-mouse-woman-sues-shop-rodent-sewn-into-clothes-a7418216.html">http://www.independent.co.uk/l.....nt-sewn-in</a>&nbsp;which makes you wonder about the fabrication conditions of these clothes.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-bi-weekly-links-here-25#post-1858782 Tue, 07 Nov 2017 11:42:09 +0000 rachylou 1858782@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>La Pedestrienne’s link about the beginning of fast fashion during the time of Napoleon is fascinating: <a href="https://qz.com/1120113/fast-fashion-was-inspired-by-europes-inability-to-mimic-indian-garb/" rel="nofollow">https://qz.com/1120113/fast-fa.....dian-garb/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-bi-weekly-links-here-25#post-1858780 Tue, 07 Nov 2017 11:29:50 +0000 Inge 1858780@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Giving this a little bump. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-bi-weekly-links-here-25#post-1858501 Mon, 06 Nov 2017 12:20:29 +0000 Inge 1858501@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hope everyone had a lovely weekend!</p> <p>Who's ready for another round of links?-) Do post your style-related link below, and as always, let us know why you would like to share it.</p> <p>Thank you! </p>
