Victoria’s Secret Returns to the Runway 🪽 After a four-year time off, Victoria’s Secret is set to reclaim the runway spotlight with a reimagined fashion show, promising a bold blend of nostalgia, inclusivity, and innovation. The return of Victoria’s Secret’s iconic fashion show marks a significant moment in the evolution of both the brand and the fashion industry at large. Having faced mounting criticism over inclusivity and outdated ideals, the brand now has the opportunity to redefine its identity through a modern, women-led lens. With the inclusion of original ‘VS Angels’ like Tyra Banks and Candice Swanepoel, alongside newer names such as Paloma Elsesser, the show aims to bridge the past with the present. But the real intrigue lies in its response to competition from brands like Savage X Fenty, who have set a new standard for diversity and empowerment in lingerie fashion. Victoria’s Secret & Co. is stepping into its "next chapter" by addressing consumer demands for inclusivity and redefining its iconic runway show. This highly anticipated return is more than just a fashion spectacle—it's a pivotal moment for the brand and the industry, highlighting how legacy names are evolving to meet modern expectations around body representation and storytelling. With a bold blend of #nostalgia, #innovation, and a focus on #inclusivity, the show signals how fashion is shifting to reflect changing cultural values and the desires of a new generation of consumers.

YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT. Bebe Rexha was shut down by designers for not being a size zero 😡 Back in 2019, Bebe Rexha bravely spoke out about being rejected by designers for her size 8 body not conforming to runway standards. This year, she returned to the Grammys red carpet in a stunning black Robert Wun gown, reclaiming her space and reminding us that all bodies are worthy of being celebrated. 🎉 But Bebe Rexha's story isn't just about one night on the red carpet. It's a symptom of a larger issue within the fashion industry: the persistent lack of size inclusivity. 😞 For too long, designers have catered to a narrow ideal of beauty, leaving countless people feeling excluded and invisible. This needs to change. 📢 So, how can brands and stylists be part of the solution? Here are a few ideas: 𝐄𝐦𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐚 𝐰𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐬𝐢𝐳𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐛𝐨𝐝𝐲 𝐭𝐲𝐩𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠. This means going beyond tokenism and truly representing the diversity of your customers. 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐜𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐛𝐨𝐝𝐲 𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐭𝐲. These stylists will know how to find clothing that flatters all body types and makes people feel confident. 𝐔𝐬𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐤 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐭 𝐬𝐢𝐳𝐞 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧. Let your customers know that you stand for inclusivity and that everyone deserves to feel beautiful. Together, we can create a fashion industry that is more welcoming and empowering for everyone. 💪 #bodypositivity #grammys #representationmatters #fashionforall

Paris Fashion Week is a celebration of artistic talent coming together in the home of haute couture. But at the heart of the fashion industry lies a serious issue: overconsumption and overproduction. The numbers really are staggering. 𝐒𝐨𝐦𝐞 92 𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐞𝐱𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐞𝐝 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫* - that’s the equivalent of a rubbish truck full of clothes ending up on a landfill site every second. That’s why I believe in the importance of buying preloved. 𝐈𝐧 2023, 𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐝-𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐩𝐮𝐫𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐧 Leboncoin.fr 𝐩𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐬𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐟 72 𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐠𝐨𝐨𝐝𝐬. **. Now, imagine how much waste could be avoided if everyone made second-hand their first fashion choice! So this #ParisFashionWeek, if you’re inspired by a new catwalk trend, why not check out Leboncoin.fr. It’s a sustainable way to try a new style, and you could even give last season’s finds a new home by passing them onto someone new. (Sources in the comments - check them out for more insights!)

There's too much of everything at Paris Fashion Week Fashion is supposed to be about meaning — clothes are supposed to be striking some sort of chord with us, appealing to us on some sort of emotional level, but it’s hard to find anything of real meaning in the industry these days. Or at least any kind of meaning for someone like me. The corporate luxury houses ruling over Paris aren’t for us, they’re for the 0.1%. It’s not Tik Tok’s fault or Pharrell’s fault or Kim Jones’s fault. The industry is just following the direction the world’s going in. Meaningless capitalism getting bloated and fatter and uglier. The collapse in smaller brands, independent media and multi-brand retail isn’t some sort of unique crisis — you’ll find the same struggle in music, film, art and literature, too. The excess of the industry is impossible to reconcile with what’s happening in the real world. We’re on the verge of another American election, living through the hottest years on record, trying to build a future for ourselves in the midst of skyrocketing inequality and the collapse of a common sense of truth. You can feel the cognitive dissonance practically screaming through your phone screen. It’s called weltschmerz in German. Sadness that the world is the way that it is. https://lnkd.in/d5vNKdZc

What's the connection between an extinct bird and New York Fashion Week? Wiederhoeft's Spring 2025 Ready-to-Wear collection draws inspiration from an unexpected source: the Kauai ʻōʻō, a Hawaiian songbird that vanished from our world in 1985. This poignant inspiration sets the stage for a groundbreaking debut - their new corset sizing program for the iconic Wasp Corset. In a bold move towards inclusivity, Wiederhoeft's collection showcases an impressive range of 68 sizes, spanning from 00 to 30. This expansive sizing reflects a growing shift in the fashion industry, which has long grappled with the complex interplay of inclusive sizing and body politics. By embracing such a wide range of body types, Wiederhoeft challenges the status quo and paves the way for a more diverse and representative fashion landscape.

Bridgerton released the second half of its third season today, causing us to reminisce and admire the inspiration behind the show’s take on Regency-era fashion. As television shows and films kick-off press tours, the fashion decisions made by celebrities also call for attention outside of the red carpet. However, a more notable trend we’re seeing is the growing list of stars advocating for consumers to be more mindful of overconsumption. Bridgerton’s Claudia Jessie is joining this movement, alongside iconic figures such as Cate Blanchett and Jane Fonda, sharing her active goals to “purchase second-hand clothing, repair her clothes that need mending, and invest in items that will last years rather than months”. Trove partners with brands like Filson, EILEEN FISHER, INC., and Patagonia, to do exactly that, giving items a longer lifespan to avoid today’s unsustainable levels of consumption. Join our list of partners growing their brand without growing emissions.
