Virgil Abloh was joined by Gigi Hadid, Luka Sabbat, Cam Newton, and others Wednesday night for a dinner celebrating his exclusive collection for Saks Fifth Avenue. ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ “The window is a romantic idea of a department store on Fifth and Madison, as the streets of the world. I’ve always looked at Off-White, or fashion in this capacity, as a means to communicate and tell a story. So I have an endless pit of inspiration of things that I see and experience for the brand,” Abloh said.⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ “And so with Saks, I love creating a personal narrative of what my brand is and speaking to their following. And the ‘Fine Arts’ and the different disciplines — art, architecture, music, fashion, design — represents the windows that we did at street level, but those truly make up my sources of inspiration, which I pour into the clothing,” he added. ⁣⁣ Tap the link in bio for more. ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ Report: @ktauer ⁣⁣📸: @lexieblacklock ⁣ .⁣⁣⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #wwdeye⁣⁣⁣ #virgilabloh⁣⁣⁣ #offwhite⁣

Sustainability is arguably the most important issue today in fashion and beauty.⁣⁣ ⁣ More than just a trend or fad, consumers — especially Generation Z and Millennials — now expect sustainability as a core element in the fashion and beauty brands they shop from, analyzing everything down to the ingredients, packaging and manufacturing process. ⁣⁣ ⁣ In honor of Earth Month, fashion resale web site, @ThredUp, launched its “Choose Used” campaign fronted by actress Olivia Wilde. With Wilde, the company redesigned thousands of used clothing displaying slogans like “I Wear Used Clothes” and “Used Goods” and will be donating 10 percent of net proceeds to the Circular Fashion Foundation, an organization that supports sustainable businesses and individuals in the fashion space. ⁣⁣ ⁣ Tap the link in bio to see more ways that fashion and beauty brands are giving back for Earth Day 2019. ⁣⁣ ⁣ Report: @laylailchi⁣⁣ ⁣ .⁣⁣ .⁣⁣ .⁣⁣ .⁣⁣ .⁣⁣ ⁣ #wwdfashion⁣⁣ #wwdbeauty ⁣⁣ #earthday⁣⁣ #sustainability⁣⁣

Is fashion the next big oil? In honor of Earth Day, WWD Executive Editor @boothmoore examines the impact of fashion on the environment. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Last week, Extinction Rebellion, the activist group that has shut bridges and poured buckets of fake blood outside Downing Street, parked a giant pink boat in London’s Oxford Circus blocking the flow of commerce in one of most heavily trafficked shopping areas in the world. ⁣ ⁣ Meanwhile, it seems everyone is jumping on the green bandwagon for Earth Day. There is the new lingerie brand made of recycled bottles; a fledgling business that donates 10 trees for every item of clothing sold; new, 100 percent recyclable surf trunks, and on and on. While I’m sure many of these brands and entrepreneurs are well-intended, do we really need any of it or do we just need less of what we already have?⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Maybe we can start by simply saying no once in a while, no to buying more and no to making more. Because at the end of the day, it’s all just stuff, even when it’s glorious, gorgeous fashion. But there is only one big blue marble we call home. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Tap the link in bio to read the full report. ⁣⁣ .⁣⁣ .⁣⁣ .⁣⁣ .⁣⁣ .⁣⁣ #wwdfashion⁣⁣ #earthday⁣⁣ #sustainability ⁣
