Milan Men’s Fashion Week Sees Brands Switch Back From Coed Format

By Jaime E. Love 12 hours ago

MILAN — Prominent returns and several debuts will mark the upcoming Milan Men’s Fashion Week, slated to run from June 17 to 21. But don’t expect Zegna to kick off the week with its usual Friday slot. This season the brand is actually wrapping up the physical events on June 20, opting to stage its runway show at 7 p.m. at the Oasi Zegna reserve in Trivero, a two-hour ride from Milan.

“It will be the occasion to experience a special place, which embodies the values of the brand but also of Italy and sustainability: that link between man and nature that we have to push forward,” said Carlo Capasa, president of the Camera della Moda on Wednesday, unveiling the official calendar.

In our long-running series, “How I’m Making It,” we talk to people making a living in the fashion industry about how they broke in and found success.

When you visit Lyst and accidentally misspell a designer name or the word “mules,” the website will pull up a page autocorrecting the error, or if you start typing “high waisted jeans” in the search bar, Lyst.com will predictably fill out the rest of your query before you do, like a fashion-conscious Google. All of those minute, convenient details are thanks in part to data scientist Sandra Greiss, who’s been with the company’s engineering department since 2014.

With Greiss’s education — a bachelor’s degree in physics from Paris, and a master’s and Ph.D. in astronomy and astrophysics from the UK — a path towards academia or a job in finance seemed like the safest

Chelsea Flower Show exhibit spotlights harmful chemicals used in fashion industry

Horticulturalist Lottie Delamain in her garden at Chelsea Flower Show (Dave Watts)

A Chelsea Flower Show exhibitor has used her platform to raise awareness of the harmful chemicals used by the fashion industry by creating a garden made entirely out of plants that can be used to make or dye fabric.

Horticulturist Lottie Delamain created a garden at the world’s most famous flower show for the activist group Fashion Revolution filled with flax, which can be used to make fibre for clothing, and other versatile plants, such as willow, which can be used as a pink dye for clothing.

It is hoped that the garden, which is called A Textile Garden for Fashion Revolution, will remind people of the historical connection between clothing and plants, encourage people to try dyeing with plants at home and consider more sustainable approaches to resources.

Delamain said: “We can have any fabric, material,

Julia Fox on why she went food shopping in her underwear

By Jaime E. Love 2 days ago

Julia Fox just went food shopping (as you do) and, well, the internet can’t stop talking about it. Why? Because she went in her underwear. Yep, no word of a lie. Fashion’s favourite It-girl has gone and delivered yet another unexpected style moment and her reasoning is downright iconic.

Now, let me set the scene for ya. Julia’s been serving a whole loooooad of lewks lately, including a NSFW naked dress, a flame bralette worn with a pair of Lady Gaga-worthy platforms and, I mean, who could forget her DIY jeans tutorial where she cut off the waistband and wore it as a top? Like we said, iconic. And for her latest outing in Los Angeles, she’s gone and upped the ante once more.

While your regular supermarket ‘fit might be a pair of leggings and slouchy t-shirt, Julia’s walking to the beat of her own drum, emerging from a
