Image
Hamburg, Germany – The ultra-fast-fashion brand SHEIN has a business model based on hazardous chemicals and environmental destruction, according to a new Greenpeace Germany report.[1] Product tests on 47 SHEIN products found that seven of them (15%), contained hazardous chemicals that break EU regulatory limits, with five of these products breaking the limits by 100% or more, while according to the tests a total of 15 of the products contain hazardous chemicals at levels of concern (32%).[2] Greenpeace Germany bought 42 items, including garments and footwear for men, women, children and infants, from SHEIN websites in Austria, Germany, Italy, Spain and Switzerland, and five items from a pop-up store in Munich, Germany.

Image
"If you've ever scrolled on eBay there are pictures of things on beds, in bathrooms, on toilets. I've seen it all!

Dillie, the vice president of partnerships at Recurate, a two-year-old service that allows brands and retailers to launch fully integrated resale channels on their own Shopify-powered stores, was joined by Heather Mee, chief marketing officer at Delta Galil Premium Brands, the parent company of 7 for All Mankind (7FAM).

Travis Barker and Kourtney Kardashian are spending their first Halloween as a ( newly engaged ) couple, and their first costume of the season did not disappoint. The lovebirds paid homage to the infamous rock couple Sid Vicious and Nancy Spungen , with Travis covering up his face and neck tattoos, wearing a spiky black wig and holding a cigarette to encapsulate the Sex Pistols bassist while Kardashian donned a curly blonde wig, fishnet shirt and black leather pants. They both shared black and white photos on Instagram. Barker captioned his "Throw away the key" while Kourtney wrote "Till death do us part" alongside hers. The blink-182 drummer also shared a poem Sid wrote to Nancy on his Instagram story, which reads: "You were my little baby girl/ And I shared all your fears/ Such joy to hold you in my arms/ And kiss away your tears/ But now you're gone there's only pain/ And nothing I can do/ And I don't want to live this life/ If I can...

Hate Bike Shorts? See How You Feel About This New Trend - New Zealand Herald

Image
Like bum bags, ugly shoes and bucket hats, the bike short trend seemingly came out of nowhere, but it had real staying power. Some would argue it's not over, but those who are looking for the Next Big Thing  or who hated the polarizing trend from the get-go  would do well to give this one a try. Remember jorts? What about Bermuda shorts? Well, you better reacquaint yourself, because they're back. As usual, Miuccia Prada was way ahead of the curve  or responsible for creating it  when she put knee-length shorts in her Spring 2019 ready-to-wear Prada show. From there, they started appearing at international Fall 2019 shows like Tod's, Coach and Haider Ackermann, and surfacing again at Resort 2020 shows like Chanel, Louis Vuitton and Prada's sister brand Miu Miu.

A black-tie wedding will likely be one of the most formal occasions you'll ever attend. Unless you frequent red carpets or White House dinners, consider this your chance to pull out all the stops and get really glam with your look. And while the idea of donning a beautiful ball gown or sleek dress might be alluring, it can also be challenging for some. Finding a style that fits the formality of the event and your frame can be a daunting task, especially if you're looking for petite black-tie wedding guest dresses.

While most formal gowns need to be altered anyway, petite gowns are designed to better fit the proportions of someone who is under 5'4. For example, the waistline of these gowns will actually hit at the waist versus at the hip (as can ofte...
