Whether you’re in the mood for fashion tricks, outfit ideas, industry news, celebrity street style, or simply want to know the latest styles to shop, you’ve come to the right place. We won’t just tell you about the hottest trends — from jeans, to shoes, to jackets — we’ll show you how to get the look (and let you know when it’s on sale). Some feminists have argued that by participating in feminine fashions women are contributing to maintaining the gender differences which are part of women’s oppression. Brownmiller felt that women should reject traditionally feminine dress, focusing on comfort and practicality rather than fashion. Others believe that it is the fashion system itself that is repressive in requiring women to seasonally change their clothes to keep up with trends. However, Mosmann has pointed out that the relationship between protesting fashion and creating fashion is dynamic because the language and style used in these protests has then become part of fashion itself.

We actively encourage publicly disclosed information to be scrutinised by anyone and everyone and used to hold brands to account. And, we will continue pushing big brands to put more information in the public domain. Real transparency, and a score of 100%, would also enable civil society organisations and experts, including the trade unions that represent garment workers, to scrutinise the disclosed information.
A representative from The Root, black culture magazine commented on the ad that it portrays the message that black people are undervalued and seen like props for white people to look better. There were different points of views on this issue, some saying that people are being too sensitive, and some getting offended. Regardless of various views and thoughts, GAP replaced the ad to different image and apologized to critics.

With evidence-based student learning outcomes that adhere to industry standards, fashion design students continue to exceed standard graduation and job placement rates. The department has cultivated a strong relationship with the fashion industry and prides itself with being on the cutting edge of innovation. Embracing technology as quickly as it becomes available through partnerships with leaders in the fashion industry has become a regular practice. This is largely possible because the department considers itself a think-tank for industry innovation. Since fakes are distinguishable by their poorer quality, there is still a demand for luxury goods, and as only a trademark or logo can be copyrighted, many fashion brands make this one of the most visible aspects of the garment or accessory.
Ysabl is a graduate of BA Communication Arts with area of specialization in Advertising and Public Relations. She recently studied in Slim’s Fashion and Arts School during which she was able to intern for international fashion designer Tex Saverio for Fashion Exchange International. Her inclination to “do something” has been building up since childhood years as she, little by little, subconsciously adopted values from her father who is an environmental activist. Ysabl aspires to one day create her own sustainable and entirely local brand, hoping to create positive change in the cultural, economic, environmental, and social aspects of the Philippine fashion industry.
No, brands and retailers don’t pay and cannot choose to be included in the Fashion Transparency Index. Being ranked highly in the Index means a major brand is comparatively more transparent than other big brands. We are not making any statement about whether a brand is ethical or sustainable. We are one voice of many spanning across civil society, including NGOs and trade unions representing supply chain workers. The Fashion Transparency Index is one tool that Fashion Revolution has developed to help bring about systemic change in the industry.

And Kim Kardashian West almost looked modest in comparison in her sheer Roberto Cavalli dress, because no one’s getting naked without KKW joining in. The change from anti-fashion to fashion because of the influence of western consumer-driven culture can be seen in eastern Indonesia. The ikat textiles of the Ngada area of eastern Indonesia are changing because of modernization and development. Traditionally, in the Ngada area there was no idea similar to that of the Western idea of fashion, but anti-fashion in the form of traditional textiles and ways to adorn oneself were widely popular. Textiles defined a person’s rank and status; certain textiles indicated being part of the ruling class.
Transparency underpins sustainability – without transparency, achieving a sustainable, accountable and fair fashion industry will be almost impossible. We understand that citizens are seeking rankings of the ethics and sustainability of major fashion brands. Please read this letter published in April 2021 and signed by 33 NGOs, including Fashion Revolution, calling for full supply chain transparency in the clothing sector. Ultimately, the aim of the Index is not just transparency in and of itself. However, without transparency, achieving a sustainable, accountable, and fair fashion industry will be impossible. Following the industry schedule where several seasons are designed simultaneously, students are educated in all aspects of the design process for an easy transition into professional careers in the fashion industry.
