There’s truly nothing more empowering and sexy than wearing a Rebecca Vallance suit | INSTAGRAM / @rebeccavallancegasan

REBECCA VALLANCE has spent some time dreaming. Whether it be about basking under the late afternoon Mediterranean sun (her husband is Maltese), conjuring up her next radiant retail space or conceptualising her eponymous label’s latest collection; Vallance often longs for “light and joy.” Such idealisms couldn’t be more palpable than through the pops of colour, ruffled hemlines and discreetly sexy silhouettes of her Pre-Spring 2022 range. Following a “very long lockdown” Vallance wanted to celebrate the fun and frivolity of the ’70s and ’80s — where she found a muse in Anjelica Huston, circa her glamorous supermodel days.


“These days, fashion is about fantasy. So we’re creating something that has a fantasy and a dream-like aspect,” Vallance told Harper’s BAZAAR Australia/New Zealand during the unveiling of her new Flagship Chadstone store. A particular

While metals, gemstones and pearls have been the staples of jewelry design for centuries, some makers are now finding inspiration in more unusual materials, such as glass, horn and wood. Even soda cans.

“Disposable cans and plastics have been considered inadequate for jewelry,” said Eunseok Han, a jewelry artist based in Seoul. “However, I thought we could make beautiful jewelry with these discarded non-precious materials.”

Here are the stories of Ms. Han and four other designers who are working to elevate unconventional materials to jewelry art.

Seoul, South Korea

“I started making jewelry with recycled cans in 2020, when the Covid-19 pandemic began,” Ms. Han, 49, said in a video interview from her atelier in the Korean capital. She noted that she had been thinking about working with discarded objects for some time, but the environmental improvements that occurred during the early lockdowns — like the global decline

PARIS — After a year of exceptional growth at Chanel, the company’s global chief financial officer, Philippe Blondiaux, said in a recent interview with a news site, the Business of Fashion, that Chanel would open an unspecified number of exclusive VIP stores in Asia next year to supplement its existing global network of 250 boutiques.

Some have questioned, in a year of price increases and buying quotas on accessories, how the brand would carry out this plan, how much one would have to spend to qualify as a VIP, and even who would be rich enough to shop at Chanel.

“What does that mean in terms of quality, availability, customer service if they have boutiques only available for super-special, elite, VIP clients?” the London-based influencer Romina Rose May asked in a recent YouTube post.

Still, the news is a sure sign of the luxury industry’s swift recovery after pandemic

A couple of years ago, dare a woman say that the piece of clothing she’s wearing is preowned or bought from a thrift shop, she would definitely be frowned upon. Recently, the idea has become more acceptable as some people have grown more aware of the negative impacts of fast fashion plus of course shopping budget that is on the rise.

For such an idea or a concept that is considered out of the norm or nontraditional, especially in certain social classes, someone had to come out and normalize the idea of ​​preowned clothes, speaking from personal experience, but most importantly this person should be someone a lot of other women from all social classes and ages can relate to.

With an undying urge to be an inspiration for a new change, Sandra Fares founded her Facebook group, ‘Tales of Shopping’ two and a half years ago. Through

The index rates polyester as one of the world’s most sustainable fabrics, for example, using data on European polyester production provided by a plastics-industry group, although most of the world’s polyester is made in Asia, usually using a dirtier energy grid and under less stringent environmental rules. The Higg rating for elastane, also known as Lycra or spandex, draws on a study by what was at the time the world’s largest elastane producer, Invista, a subsidiary of the conglomerate Koch Industries. (Invista sold its Lycra business in 2019.)

The Higg Index itself was born a decade or so ago amid a rising emphasis among consumers on sustainability, environmental and animal-welfare concerns. It coincided with advances in synthetic-based fabrics that were not only inexpensive but had new features that buyers craved, such as improved elasticity or improvements in the ability to wick away perspiration.

Many of the garment brands that sit
