FASHION & BEAUTY

Send the cold email- you might end up front row at New York Fashion Week.

Among the New York Fashion Week shows, 7 For All Mankind stood out. When a certain walk and a show make this much noise across social media, you know an influence on trends will soon occur. “Welcome back, Jenny Humphrey” was plastered across my mind while watching the show: festival wristbands stacked on a silk glove, bags on top of bags, messy hair tucked into a dramatic roll-neck, slinky babydoll dresses with tights and costume jewellery.

In high school, I was honestly always really confused about the whole sustainability movement in fashion. How does every brand have a “green” label? Wasn’t the problem that we were buying too much, too fast, and getting tricked by clever marketing?

Whether it’s the influence of social media or a boom in consumerism, the holiday has transformed into an opportunity to embrace vibrant pinks and reds.
