Shopping Sheins? What to know about the fast-fashion brand’s so-called ‘dark sides’ – National

If you’re a regular online shopper — especially if you’re under the age of 30 or so — you’ve probably seen the name Shein, and might have bought an outfit or two from the retailer. Founded in China in 2008 by entrepreneur Chris Xu and now based in Singapore, Shein has taken the fashion world by storm. The company is well-known on apps such as TikTok and Instagram, where generation Z shoppers will show off their #SheinHaul — a collection of clothes ordered from the online-only retailer at deeply discounted prices. Women’s tops advertised on the Shein Canada website, for example, are often priced under $10 and sometimes as low as $5. A flurry of banners advertise steep sales and discounts on shipping — up to 90 per cent off for an extended May long weekend...

Coronation fashion: a royal catwalk show to launch King Charles’s Britain | King Charles Coronation

Pprincess Anne in a crimson-plumed bicorn hat, swashbuckling through Westminster Abbey in a Napoleonic velvet cloak. Penny Mordaunt stealing the show in a teal two-piece that echoed the commanders’ wives in The Handmaid’s Tale, accessorised with a giant sword. Nine-year-old Prince George, a Nutcracker toy soldier comes to life, resplendent in crimson and frogging. As a catwalk for King Charles’s Britain, the coronation was undeniably spectacular. A feast of pageantry served up glorious visual entertainment during the long hours in Westminster Abbey. Advance briefings from the palace had suggested Charles wanted a modern, pared-down event reflecting a 21st-century country in the grip of a cost of living crisis, but the optics of the clothes were surprisingly jazzy and eccentric. This was a grandstanding of Britain as the land of Mary Poppins and Strictly Come Dancing, of...

Soft power: cardigans become male status symbol as sales soar | Fashion

Until recently, a man in a cardigan might typically have signaled “retiree”. But now the cosiest of knitwear items have been given a makeover. Fashion-friendly brands such as The Elder Statesman, Ami Paris and Studio Nicholson are pushing the cardigan. Marks & Spencer reports that sales of cardigans are performing well for spring – up 90% on 2022, possibly due to the “inbetween” weather. A green “preppy” style is particularly popular. More styles will be launched by the retailer this fall.

Shein Instagram, TikTok influencer backlash exposes fast fashion dark side

Shein is one of the most lucrative fast fashion brands on the planet. The Chinese online retailer, which has quickly become a staple of social media, was valued at $100 billion in 2022 — that’s more than Zara and H&M combined. But Shein now faces a firestorm of criticism over a highly choreographed PR junket featuring fashion influencers seen as an attempt to rehabilitate a company that has faced slew of accusations, including human rights violations and complaints about shoddy clothing materials. The backlash has exposed multiple interlocking problems endemic to the fast fashion industry and the influencer economy.

Getting ready for the Mission Impossible premiere with Hayley Atwell

“I have a much deeper understanding of the power of dressing now,” says actress Hayley Atwell. Her most recent public appearance – at the London premiere of the new Mission Impossible movie in Leicester Square last night – confirms this; she walked the red carpet in an artistic, statement-making gown that made an impact for all the right reasons. “There’s a simple elegance to this dress, yet is inherently sculptured and unusual – you can see similarities in a vase or sculpture,” she tells us. Her black Ashi Studio gown featured a heart-shaped balloon skirt, contrasted with a sleek body, which she wore with classic Jimmy Choo heels and Garrard jewelery. For her, it was the perfect bridge between the fashion and art world, something that the actress has been educating herself on. Misan Hariman “I’ve...
