I’ve been collecting interesting articles across a range of topics that are good to share:

• How upcycling food by-products and waste for beauty products could help combat global warming’s effects.
• I loved this article (and the photos!) on the fashion in the new Downton Abbey movie.
• “How to Know Your Buying Quality Clothes?” I especially liked the info about seams.
• “Why the ‘ugly’ clog is the style statement of our times.“
• New Zealand fashion designer Maggie Hewitt discusses the complexities of pricing responsibly made clothing.
• Garment workers are trying to change a long history of wage theft and sweatshop-like conditions in Los Angeles garment factories.
• Fashionista reports that the next generation of plus-size fashion brands aren’t on the runways, they’re on Tiktok.
• Over at Refinery29, four women entrepreneurs share how going blonde changed their lives and careers.

Indigoprint enjoyed Alyson’s post about fisherman sandals, and adds: “She includes a picture of sandals with socks that I found quite appealing.”

Runcarla thought Lisa Eldridge’s tutorial on how to create happy lips was brilliant.

She also liked this video showing how two designers completely reworked a piece created by the other: a wedding dress and Rihanna’s 2018 Met Gala Pope-inspired Maison Margiela look.

This very tongue-in-cheek article in The Atlantic about the current ‘Coastal Grandmother’ trend made Silver laugh.

Angie enjoyed this article with fun and interesting facts about the first Downton Abbey Movie.
