Coach Admits To Damaging Unsold Bags, but the Industry-Wide Practice is Nothing New

October 19, 2021 at 07:45PM “So excited to show you all the Coach purses I bought,” Tiktoker Anna Sacks (aka The Trash Walker) says, presenting bag after bag to her viewers. “As you can see, they’re all slashed, which is Coach’s policy. This is what they do with unwanted merchandise. They order an employee to deliberately slash it so that no one can use it.” @thetrashwalker #coach #donatedontdump #retailmademe #dumpsterdiving #shopping #climatechange #haul #free #eco #recycle #donate #nyc #thrift #repair #fashion #style ♬ Waltz of the Flowers – The Nutcracker – Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky The New York City-based environmental activist posted the now-viral TikTok — since amassing some 2.9 million views — on October 10 after purchasing the products from Texas-based influencer and dumpster-diver Tiffany She’ree. Soon after, the news was amplified by Diet Prada, a fashion watchdog Instagram account, and widespread online…

Turtleneck Season Is Here, and These Are the 18 Styles We Want to Wear This Fall

October 19, 2021 at 07:35PM When we were kids, turtlenecks were itchy, uncomfortable, and a sign that it was really cold outside. Well, now they’re the comfortable sweaters we want to wear all fall and winter long. They keep us nice and toasty, they’re not itchy if you buy the right material, and they’re ideal layering pieces.

Not to Be Dramatic, but This Affordable Old Navy Shacket Is My New Favorite Fall Staple

October 19, 2021 at 07:05PM Image Source: POPSUGAR Photography / Lauren Harano Let’s be honest, the best thing about fall is the fashion. While sundresses will surely be missed, there’s nothing better than throwing on jeans with a sweater, booties, and a cute jacket. The outfit options are endless, and there are hundreds of ways to style a seasonal jacket - that is, once you’ve found the perfect one. And, lucky for me, I found just that! After nothing more than a quick glance, I knew the Old Navy Soft-Brushed Utility Shacket ($33, originally $65) was about to become part of my fall wardrobe for seasons to come. Light enough to wear when the weather decides to revert back to summer in the mid-afternoon, yet warm enough when the temperature changes back to fall after the sun dips behind the horizon, this jacket…

Dua Lipa’s Denim-on-Denim Look Includes a Butterfly Halter With a Bodice Made of Wings

October 19, 2021 at 06:19PM Dua Lipa, queen of all trends Y2K, is collecting butterfly pieces for her wardrobe left and right. Perhaps it started when she hit the Grammys red carpet in this sparkling, slitted Versace gown back in March, which she then followed up at the afterparty with a chain-mail minidress in the same motif. But these days, her stylist Lorenzo Posocco must be sourcing high and low across the internet, even for Dua’s casual wear. If her one-shoulder butterfly crop top from Masha Popova is not enough to confirm the bug is abuzz, this denim Blumarine set, hailing from the label’s spring/summer 2022 runway, should convince you. The performer and Elton John collaborator outfitted herself in the full catwalk ensemble, metal chain belt and all, accessorized with a Mowalola trucker hat; rimless, lavender translucent lenses; and butterfly earrings that scurried…

The Banana Republic x Charles Harbison Collection Is Finally Here, and It’s Jaw-Dropping!

October 19, 2021 at 06:05PM Harlem’s Fashion Row, an organization dedicated to creating opportunities for BIPOC designers, has partnered with Banana Republic to launch a sustainable design competition, and this year’s winner is architect turned fashion designer Charles Harbison. For the New York-based artist, it’s a very momentous announcement. Having worked in the fashion industry for years, Harbison told Yahoo, he had sworn off competitions and vying for money and significance in those platforms. “I had really grown quite disillusioned. I felt that I was overlooked a few times for things that we were quite set up to win. Judges would even come to me to tell me that, and to inform me about politics that were outside of my knowledge that we’re determining a lot of those decisions,” Harbison said. Fast forward to present day, and this win feels like a full-circle…

Blue Ivy Crashes BeyoncĂ© and JAY-Z’s Romantic Date Night in New Tiffany & Co. Short Film

October 19, 2021 at 05:04PM BeyoncĂ© and JAY-Z just gave us a glimpse into their romantic date night in a new short film as part of Tiffany & Co.’s “About Love” campaign. Complete with pizza, champagne, and an interruption from their 9-year-old daughter Blue Ivy Carter, the Carters’ night out seems pretty true to reality. The Breakfast at Tiffany’s-inspired film, similar to the original campaign video, features the power couple in Schlumberger jewelry, including a Bird on a Rock brooch on JAY-Z and diamond earrings and a ring on BeyoncĂ©. In the duo’s first campaign together, BeyoncĂ© and JAY-Z embody a beautiful “modern love story,” and this bonus film does just that. As part of their partnership with Tiffany, the couple also launched a scholarship fund dedicated to students from five HBCUs, after they were criticized for promoting the oppressive colonial histories of…

Gemma Chan Carried This Angelic Louis Vuitton Dress Off the Runway Like Poetry in Motion

October 19, 2021 at 04:24PM Gemma Chan and her stylist Rebecca Corbin-Murray must have had their eyes glued to Louis Vuitton’s spring/summer 2022 runway. Chan attended the fashion show in Paris just 13 days before she stepped out for the Eternals premiere wearing look 30 from the collection, which was dubbed the “grand bal of time” by Nicolas Ghesquière for its references to Victorian dressing and the recirculation of trends over many years. It’s no coincidence that Gemma wanted to represent this idea at her movie premiere, since Eternals also has a storyline that spans multiple centuries. It’s safe to say she stood out from the rest of her castmates in her white angelic lace gown that came complete with a feathered cape she was sure to show off from every angle as it trailed the carpet behind her. Gemma kept her accessories…

Tiffany & Co.’s Sparkling Love Affair with Beyoncé and Jay-Z Twinkles On

October 19, 2021 at 03:00PM Did we have any doubt that BeyoncĂ© and Jay-Z’s day-to-day is filled with private jets, chauffeured cars and lots of bling? Which is why their intimate new campaign film for Tiffany & Co. could probably double as a documentary. In the BeyoncĂ© Jay-Z Tiffany film, Queen B sings “Moon River,” the song made popular by the 1961 film Breakfast at Tiffany’s, while winging towards Jay-Z on a private jet.  Not quite the “two drifters” that Audrey Hepburn sang about in the film while sitting on a window ledge looking out onto a fire escape in the film. Just before the film closes, BeyoncĂ© pulls up in a chauffeured car to reunite with her hubby at Orum House, an architectural masterpiece overlooking Bel Air. Another clip has BeyoncĂ© tinkling on a grand piano, while the 128.54-carat Tiffany Diamond dangles…
