We love seeing Tampa-based fashion designer De Johnea Thorpe in the headlines! She spoke with Tampa Bay Business Journal about unveiling her seventh collection with the SHEIN X Designer Incubator Program and the benefits she has seen for her business. ✨ "Being an independent designer has so many challenges, and producing garments can be quite costly. This program is a beautiful process because it gives you a lot of control," says Thorpe. She reflected on her younger years when her mom bought her a sewing kit, "I would make little pieces and try to sell them to my friends, and I would go to thrift stores and buy wedding gowns and try to make them into something." ✨ To read the full story, visit: https://bizj.us/1qldp6

New York Fashion Week’s Spring/Summer 2024 shows have officially concluded. With over 70 designers spanning stalwarts to newer names, New York’s tailored-and-tucked week had much to say about the future of fashion trends. Here we have rounded up the top five menswear trends from the shows. This season witnessed a remarkable shift as New York designers boldly rewrote the fashion codes. COS and WILLY CHAVARRIA, among others, ditched the quiet-luxury trope for styles that were (at least a little) louder, while others, like DION LEE and PRIVATE POLICY championed sophisticated workwear. Brands like LaQuan Smith and Palomo Spain put the spotlight on see-through shirts, and labels including AKNVAS and LUAR WORLD embraced the short-short trend. All the while, more names, such as Tanner Fletcher and Advisry, put kingly formalwear front and center. Discover more: https://lnkd.in/gUfJeztZ

If you think clothing has become out of reach while quality has declined you aren’t the only one. Designer clothing like the recent Phoebe Philo pieces are increasingly priced out of reach for most than the very Uber wealthy ranging from $2000 to $25000 for certain pieces. We have seen designer bags have a price increase every quarter to the point that most bags are now in the $5 to $13K like CHANEL and Hermès . There was a twitter war over a dress priced at $1,295 for a Mirror Palais Ruffle Tunnel Cloud dress that was made of 100% rayon as semi-synthetic fabric. The assumption has always been that the craftsmanship and fabric justified the higher price points. There are more corners cut and synthetic fabrics used in designer wear than ever before. Even mid priced lines at department stores have people questioning why these mid tier brands made of 100% polyester are priced at a over $450 when the same item can be purchased at fast fashion retailer for half the price . The value proposition has disappeared which is why it is causing a generation to go thrifting to a simpler time when you could find a 100% wool coat or a silk top. #fashionretail #fashion #designerbrands #midtier #departmentstore #retail #retailing
Why doesn’t anyone know where to shop anymore?

Redefining Fashion with Vintage Finds In a world where trends come and go in the blink of an eye, finding a style that's truly unique can be a challenge. But fear not, because the era of Stylemax is here, and it's all about embracing the art of thrifting. Thrifting isn't just about snagging a bargain; it's a treasure hunt for one-of-a-kind pieces that speak to your individuality. From retro jackets to funky accessories, thrift stores are veritable goldmines for fashion enthusiasts looking to stand out from the crowd. What sets thrifting apart from conventional shopping is the element of surprise. You never know what gem you might unearth amidst the racks of pre-loved clothing. It's a thrill unlike any other, fueled by the excitement of discovering something truly special. Moreover, thrifting is inherently sustainable—a key tenet of the Stylemax philosophy. By giving new life to old garments, thrifting reduces waste and promotes eco-conscious fashion choices. It's a win-win situation for both your wardrobe and the planet. But perhaps the most compelling aspect of thrifting is the stories behind each piece. Every item has a history, a journey that adds depth and character to your ensemble. Whether it's a vintage dress from the '70s or a quirky knick-knack from yesteryear, thrifted finds carry with them a sense of nostalgia and charm that can't be replicated. In the age of fast fashion and mass production, thrifting offers a refreshing alternative—a return to craftsmanship, individuality, and self-expression. It's a celebration of style in its purest form, where the only limit is your imagination. So, whether you're a seasoned thrifter or a newcomer to the scene, embrace the thrill of the hunt and let your personal style shine through. With Stylemax, the possibilities are endless, and the adventure is just beginning. Happy thrifting! #thrifting #thrift #thriftshop #thriftstorefinds #vintage #thrifted #thriftedfashion #preloved #secondhand #thriftstore #fashion #thriftmurah #secondbranded #thriftfinds #vintageclothing #vintagestyle #ootd #reseller #s #sustainablefashion #prelovedbranded #thriftshopping #poshmark #vintagefashion #thriftedstyle #style #prelovedmurah #thrifter #resellercommunity #retro

Owner @ MR-CHRISTIAN | We make women look and feel good with bespoke, British farm traced leather accessories. Guilt free fashion for the women who just know what real authenticated quality should be.
PLASTIC GANG !! IS BACK. TWICE IN TWO DAYS ! First M&S Making copies of a luxury bag by YSL and now Primark knocking off Ralph Lauren dresses ! The DUPES market seems to be a new LOW in fast fashion. I get it in a world where incomes remain low and hard to come by for the many. But knocking off designer labels and churning out cheap crap really should be regulated and banned by legislation. Some would argue its flattering to have your designs copied and touted to the masses. I am sure some brands would appreciate the exposure to be fair. I do hope #ralphlauren contact #primark and call them out on this. The same goes for YSL and M&S. Not only is this destructive fashion by flooding the market with cheap plastic is is also LAZY FASHION. Fashion I thought was about inspirational design, creativity, fresh products to market and seeking a new audience with new innovative and inspirational product offers. It would seem that the fast fashion giants like shein and Temu have started a new trend by copying and knocking off other designs and products and exploiting innovation for a cheap return off the back of others hard work and creativity. Just another case of the high street lacking any level of credibility and integrity as it seeks a share of the profits. "DEMOLISH DUPES" I say ! what are your thoughts #primark #ralphlauren #marksandspencer #ysl #copyrightinfringement #fastfashion https://lnkd.in/e7KATkS4

Your career is like a marathon, not a sprint. That's the advice Joelle Diderich, Paris bureau chief at WWD, picked up from Belgian designer Dries van Noten. Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither is a career spanning multiple decades. Instead of running before you can walk, which will inevitably lead to problems, it's better to take a slow and steady approach, Van Noten told WWD executive editor Booth Moore at the WWD Retail CEO Summit. By taking things step by step, you give yourself the chance to build a solid foundation that will serve you well at times of economic woes, he says. "[T]ake your time. That I think for every young designer, it’s important, because some people just start to run and then the problems are there." Do you have a career plan? What advice would you give to young professionals looking to progress?
DRIES VAN NOTEN is all about slow fashion. Speaking at the WWD Apparel & Retail CEO Summit, the Belgian designer said he likes to remind young designers that it took him 10 years after graduating in 1982 to stage his first fashion show. “And even then it was a men’s show, really small, and then the women’s show was even later. So take your time. That I think for every young designer, it’s important, because some people just start to run and then the problems are there,” he said in a conversation with WWD West Coast executive editor Booth Moore. The 2023 recipient of WWD’s Designer of the Year award, Van Noten has on the contrary cultivated a slow and steady approach that has served him well at times of economic instability. “When somebody wants to grow really fast, it’s never good,” he said. #fashion #fashiondesign #fashiondesigner #fashionindustry #slowfashion #designer #sustainability #design #luxury #designerfashion

1920s Fashion For Men Introduction The 1920s was a vibrant and transformative period in the realm of men's fashion. It marked a departure from the rigid styles of the past, embracing a more relaxed and expressive approach to dressing. This article explores the essence of 1920s fashion for men, highlighting key elements, influential figures, and the societal influences that shaped this iconic era. Key Components of Men's Fashion in the 1920s Flapper Style One of the most distinctive features of 1920s fashion was the adoption of the "flapper" style, characterized by loose-fitting clothing that allowed for greater freedom of movement. This shift was reflective of the changing roles and attitudes of women in society, which in turn influenced men's fashion towards more casual and comfortable attire. Suiting and Tailoring Men's suiting underwent a revolution during the 1920s, moving away from the heavy, formal suits of the Victorian era towards lighter, more streamlined designs. The classic suit with a high-waisted, narrow-cut trouser became popular, often paired with a contrasting vest. Read more: https://lnkd.in/gjVxypY7
