Among the romantic dresses and fencing-inspired suiting on the runway at Maria Grazia Chiuri's Dior debut was one piece that will have the fashion world talking. A T-shirt reading We Should All Be Feminists was paired with an embellished midnight blue tulle skirt and sneakers, instantly becoming the most Instagrammed moment of the entire show. The fact that Chiuri is the first female artistic director of the Dior maison was a much-discussed fact in the lead-up to her debut—and clearly one that she took to heart. The show notes also made a point of explaining how important feminism is to Chiuri: "Feminism is a recurring word for her." What's more, the Beyoncé song "Flawless," which features Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's famous TEDx talk about feminism, played on the soundtrack. And the author was in the crowd.
I did a big Cos haul this month and these two pieces were instant hits. The sweater is a linen blend—perfect for hot days and cold offices. The skirt is a super effortless bottom that pairs easily with a variety of tops and will continue to carry me through many seasons to come. I had a beach trip coming up and needed daywear that was light and breathable. It seems to be a yearly struggle to find summer clothing that I feel comfortable in, but I came across the Vatka Co. shirt and bucket hat and it was perfect for the occasion. It transitioned from the beach to a casual dinner by the water seamlessly and feeling comfortable all the while.
On the luxury side, designers and retailers are actively discussing how to become open and honest about price and quality. By explaining the origin of their fabrics, how their clothes are made, and who makes them, the hope is that customers will shop more confidently and will be motivated to invest in the story, not just the product or trend. In theory, that concept of mindful consumption could eventually trickle down to the high street. It isn't going to fix climate change or fashion's murky supply chain, but it's the best way we can begin to make a difference—and by "we," I mean those of us in the privileged position of having money to spend and the headspace to refine our shopping habits. The common rebuttal to the "fewer, better" approach is that some people can't afford to pay more for clothes, and that's absolutely true. But lower-income shoppers aren't the ones creating the mess; they aren't buying a new dress every week and then throwing it out. The people abusing the system are the ones who could afford to buy fewer, higher-quality items, and it's our responsibility to use our power and influence to raise the bar for everyone else.
