Shein, H&M and Other Fashion Resale Programs Don’t Make Big Money

Resale has quickly emerged as the initiative of choice for fashion brands looking to lower theirs carbon, plastic and water footprints—or at least in some instances to convince green-conscious shoppers that they’re trying. But here’s the rub: So far even savvy brands such as Patagonia or Shein haven’t figured out how to make secondhand selling accounts for more than a tiny fraction of their profits. More than 100 apparel retailers have started in-house resale platforms within the past two years, with 88 new programs last year alone, according to data from ThredUp Inc., which both operates an online thrift store business and has helped many brands set up their own resale programs. This includes some of the biggest brands, including H&M and fast-fashion champ Shein. In 2022 resale of apparel, footwear and handbags in the US...

Milan Fashion Week: Italian Men’s Wear Does a Power Edit

Concision — that was the word to come to mind after eight surprising days in this men’s wear capital, and in Florence. Did some unseen force take a blue pencil to all the slack narratives, rehashed inspirations, derivative references that prevail in recent seasons? Suddenly everything seemed crisp and focused, like early Hemingway after he’d learned how to do Gertrude Stein. Designers laboring for decades on narratives as schticky as the plot of an airport novel (we see you, Dolce & Gabbana) discovered urgency and a fresh approach in a tight edit. It must be freeing not to rewrite the same paragraph every season, even if the exigencies of an increasingly industrialized luxury goods market demand that designers repeat themselves. What to do? You could follow the lead of Pierpaolo Piccioli at Valentino, showing his first...

Hailey Bieber Wears Sparkly Pink Dress at Rhode Party in NYC

Hailey Bieber celebrated Rhode’s birthday in style. On June 15, the model stepped out in a sparkly micro minidress for her skin-care brand’s one-year anniversary party in New York City. A custom Vivienne Westwood design entirely covered in light-pink crystals, Bieber’s outfit featured a plunging neckline, corseted bodice, ruched skirt, two tiny bows, and a super-short hemline that showed off her legs. Sticking to the Barbiecore theme, she paired her dress with clear-strap Gianvito Rossi heels that gave the illusion of Barbie feet, a term used to describe the doll’s permanently arched soles. Bieber amped up the shine tenfold while selecting her accessories, carrying a silver crystal handbag and wearing four pieces of diamond Tiffany & Co. jewelry: a necklace, two rings, and flower-shaped earrings. She finished the party-ready look with her signature slicked-back bun and...

The 10 Key Spring/Summer 2023 Trends To Know Now

Blue jeans, white tanks, flannel shirts. In the end, it was one of the subtler looks from the Bottega Veneta spring/summer 2023 show that got the front row snapping and afterward set Instagram alight. Sure, it was worn by Kate Moss, for whom a runway appearance is a happening these days. And sure, it turned out to be a not-so-simple combination of wafer-thin leather tank, leather trousers dyed to resemble faded jeans and a flannel shirt that required 12 layers of print to achieve that just-so color. But it’s still surprising that “casual comfort”, as designer Matthieu Blazy put it post-show, can be considered one of the key references for the spring/summer 2023 fashion trends, even as we grapple with Barbiecore-meets-skin-galore. Then again, maybe it isn’t. If the industry has one eye on recession, with a...

Best Men’s Clothing Brands for the Office in 2023

When you buy through our links, Insiders may earn an affiliate commission. Learn more. Getting dressed for the office once required a lot of extra work and sacrifice. Maintaining the best work clothes for men usually entailed weekly trips to the dry cleaners, ironing dress shirts only for them to get wrinkled while commuting, and wearing stiff dress pants and uncomfortable shoes — just some of the regular annoyances of the past. But between dress codes becoming more laid back and more flexible work-from-home policies, most people are unwilling to return to the office under the same conditions of formality. Performance workwear is the best way to maintain a professional appearance while remaining comfortable. Think: stretchy, quick-drying, and moisture wicking dress shirts and suits you’ll never have to dry clean. By shopping performance brands, you can...
