The circular economy is booming. When it comes to fashion, we’re buying second-hand to support our environment and adopting a greener mindset. Yet, is it really the answer to climate change?
Design Perspective: Back to School Style
This new beginning motivates us to reinvent ourselves, exercise our strengths, and remedy our foibles. I find this especially true of our young generation climbing social ladders and (literally) growing out of their former selves!

Sporty trends are incoming! A torch lights the way to this summer’s Paris Olympics. In true French flair, it’s set to be a stylish affair buzzing with innovation and cool sports. How will this major global event impact our next generation?
