Mango Committed 2021 Campaign Advances Strong Sustainability Goals

The Barcelona-based global fashion retailer is raising its sustainability goals, most-certainly as a reflection of evolving consumer mindsets. Currently, 79% of the Mango assortment is “Committed”, meaning that they are recycled or have sustainable characteristics. By 2022, Mango hopes that 100% of every item meets this criteria, writes WWD.

Note that Mango is not asserting that these garments are fully-sustainable in every way. But the company does have an ambitious environmental agenda.

The focus is not the health benefits of eating organic. Nor is it longevity tied to eating fruits and veggies. AOC feels a bit stupid trying to discover any meaning behind the visuals. The answer: lipstick shades!

Given the miraculous new innovations in biomaterials coming from MycoWorks (vegan leather from mushrooms) and Desserto (vegan leather from cactus), I thought we were about to break news of German innovation with this fashion beauty story. No such luckk, but now that we know it’s about lipstick, we get the message. Food art by Soren Westh.

Paloma Elsesser Dives Into H&M Sustainable Swimwear SS 2021 Lensed by Amber Grace Johnson

Global fashion powerhouse H&M delivers a physical and emotional power punch with its Spring Summer 2021 Swimwear campaign. Led by superwoman Paoma Elsesser, the campaign takes a deep dive into the terrain of unapologetically feminine strength with a cast that celebrates all body types and forms.

The brand comes straight at us with a definitive statement that’s light years away from the “flawless” messages (one of the most harmfull words in modern marketing in the opinion of AOC) of summers past.

Dive in & enjoy the silence

Hey, you! It's your summer, done your way. Don't let self-doubt, other people's opinions and negativity tag along. Dive into the water, swim away from the noise, follow your own voice, and come back recharged.

Craig McDean Flashes Kris, Marjan, Sora in 'On the Line' for Zara Beauty

Zara is making a big splash in the beauty business, working with British makeup artist Diane Kendal. Currently living in New York City, Kendal is the beauty product consultant and makeup artist for Marc Jacobs Beauty, and has developed product lines for Calvin Klein Cosmetics. She is also favored by Poenza Schouler, Tory Burch and Tom Ford.

Zara Beauty launched globally last Wednesday with its own beauty-specific in-store presentation. According to Zara beauty director Eva Lopez, the goal for the brand was simple: inclusivity. “Our ambition was to create a collection that anyone, regardless of gender, skin color, age, or personal style will want to use,” she says. “Somebody that wants a classic, softer makeup look can find their products, and somebody that’s more experimental can find the colors they need to create that, too,” continues Kendal, adding “we wanted to appeal to everybody.”
