Corsets have been a controversial item of clothing for decades, being one of the poster examples of the extreme regimens of female beauty standards. Since the early 20th century, they had gradually died off from mainstream popularity, only to be worn by those either interested in vintage fashion or deep...
I’m sure we’ve all witnessed a couple match their partners in some way at least once in our lives. Many think it’s about fashion and how it looks, but it’s more than that. It acts as this way to connect with one another and tell the world we belong together. ...
Artificial intelligence has rapidly been on the path of integrating with nearly every industry in recent years, and the fashion industry is no exception. Despite the outcry from many within its consumer base, fashion brands have shown no hesitation in incorporating AI in their business practices. This is likely due...
Seasonal wardrobe swaps sound simple in theory. I mean, think about it: you just pack away the clothes from the season you’re not in anymore and unpack the ones you are, right? In reality, it’s just pure chaos falsely labeled under the name of “organization.” First, there’s the sheer amount of stuff...
A new exhibit centered around fashion is heading to the Metropolitan Museum of Art (MET) this coming spring. While fashion has been deeply intertwined with art and society throughout the ages, there have been far fewer times that fact has been celebrated. The MET’s Costume Art exhibition is said to...

Animal materials in fashion have grown controversial and even looked down on since the beginning of the 21st century. In the past, the use of animal materials in clothing has decimated animal populations, bringing many species close to extinction. Unsurprisingly, this has led many within the industry to look for...

High-waisted pants are honestly the best. They hold you in, they don’t roll down when you sit and they don’t make you feel bad about having a tummy. (It’s 2025, that really should be standard in clothes by now.) There was a time when putting on real pants meant giving...
