I think someone likes Audrey Hepburn's style here?
Some of her clothes are up for auction http://www.christies.com/featu.....382-3.aspx
Can't buy it, but we can always watch her movies, no one will wear her clothes better than her anyway
I have a soft spot for the space age 60s of her "2 for the road" looks -not the perfect elegance of the Givenchy haute couture she usually wears, but still strong and colourful

There isn't much research in it, but this piece lists companies that supposedly more ethical than others in the fashion industry. https://www.popsugar.com/fashi.....#undefined

Fashiontern - Thank you!

kkards - Great! Progress is being made, that's good. Thank you for the link.

I just posted this link in another thread; it's very much worth a read:

An account of what it's like growing up fat in France; her experiences definitely have me rethinking the way we idolize French style and beauty culture...

Yes, yes! I just read the article LaPed referred to above, and it should definitely see a larger audience. Inge, I came here just to make sure she had posted her link.

Thanks so much for posting the link here too, La Pedestrienne. It's absolutely appalling and I was at a loss for words while reading the article. My word, things need to change!!

Thanks Donna.

Thank you, Jane. I hadn't heard of the new range yet. I will try to find a link so we can include it in the blog post on Thursday.

Because I'm incredibly excited to see it this week: Pacific Northwest Ballet's Jewels just debuted their gorgeous new costumes designed by Jerome Kaplan to rave reviews (the dancing especially, but the costumes elicited gasps before the dancing even started.) Here's a teaser behind the scenes of the design process.

And for a review and photos of the new costumes in action:

"Everlane’s use cases are pretty much always daytime pursuits—errands, the office—never, say, date night or clubbing. “Then you’re playing in shine, frills, low-cut tops,” Preysman said. “It quickly devolves into fast fashion.” This means leaving opportunities on the table. He shrugged. “You do not get laid in Everlane.”

That was interesting, thanks very much, UmmLila. E.g. I hadn't realized that Everlane rolls out new pieces one at a time, as opposed to most apparel companies who work with seasonal collections.

Thank you again everyone for these great links. I'm closing the thread now and will be back for more in a fortnight;-)
