Gucci has again affirmed its commitment to sustainability and transparency with the launch of Gucci Equilibrium, an online platform "designed to connect people, planet and purpose".
“We have been working on sustainability for so long and we realised at one point that our actions needed to be better understood within and outside the company,” president and CEO Marco Bizzarri told WWD.
The Equilibrium.gucci.com website will launch a company-wide program for the 13,000 Gucci employees, allowing every member of the staff to dedicate one percent of their working time to volunteering in their local communities.
“These are critical times when we can all play our part in helping to deliver on the UN Global Goals and the Paris Climate Agreement,” Bizzarri added. “The only way to do that is by bringing people together, sharing ideas, innovation and experiences. This is the objective we have set for Gucci Equilibrium.”
Gucci’s 10-year sustainability plan centers around three pillars: the environment, people and innovation. Within the first pillar, it has set a target to guarantee the traceability of 95 percent of raw materials. Its “scrap-less” program in association with its tanneries, which reduces the quantity of leather that is treated during the manufacturing process, follows Gucci's late fall announcement that the house will no longer use fur in its collections.
Following in the footsteps of Salma Hayek and Beyoncé's Chime for Change dedicated to girls' and women's empowerment long embraced by Gucci, Gucci Equilibrium will launch a series of social enterprises, such as "I was a Sari", in which Gucci craftspeople teach women from Mumbai's marginalized communities in Mumbai how to upcycle saris.

It Brit Lady Kitty Spencer, Princess Diana's niece, launches her first campaign as the newest UK brand ambassador for Bulgari.
"It is an immense honor to be working with the most iconic Italian jewelry brand in the world, Spencer said in a statement. "Bvlgari has always been synonymous with creativity, heritage, beauty and glamour. I am, therefore, very excited to be part of the Bvlgari family, as it means experiencing their passion and magic first-hand."
Lady Spencer's duties go far beyond posing in beautiful ad campaigns. In particular she will advocate for children worldwide, as part of Bulgari's commitment to Save the Children. A second key charity partner for Bulgari is the Elton John Aids Foundation.
In June 2017, Spencer was instrumental in raising £140,000 for the Elton John Aids Foundation, when she modeled and introduced the brand's Divas’ Dream diamond necklace that was auctioned at their gala in aid for EJAF. Bulgari says that Spencer embodies the label's "fearless attitude".

Vogue Australia asks: Is yoga the new facelift? Instead of Botox or other procedures you probably can't afford, consider that practitioners of yoga are known for having youthful looks, and not only because the practice yoga diminishes stress and body-ravaging inflammation.
Renowned Aussie yoga teacher, nutritionist and author Lola Berry says, “Yoga poses can play a big role in our beauty regime, when you increase blood flow to the face it can result in naturally lifted and plumped skin.” Specifically, “Forward folds—where you are bending at the hip and letting your torso hang towards the ground—and inversions—downward facing dog, shoulder, head and hand stands—where blood is sent to the head and face,” says Berry, will achieve this kind of natural facelift.

Tatler's new editor-in-chief Richard Dennen has expressed a clear and consistent vision for the magazine. In a new interview with WWD, Dennen says the monthly glossy should be "impossibly chic" with mega glamour, and "a nod to the past and a modern, more international outlook at what high society looks like today."
“What’s really exciting in the 21st century is to have these old heritage brands and to be able to update them into something which is very modern and cool — and one of the cool things about Tatler is that it’s so old and has this incredible heritage of culture, politics, high society and fashion,” said Dennen in an interview at his minimalist, all-white office at Vogue House. It’s decorated with a poster of one of his favorite Tatler covers from the past, shot by Norman Parkinson.
Fronting the magazine born in 1709 and is the oldest enduring title in the world, Kidman herself makes a strong case for the appeal of old Hollywood glamour, even if her roles represent the summit of women's issues and concerns worldwide. Read Kidman's interview with Elizabeth Day.

Woodley, 26, says she was “stripped to her core” by filming, which involved journeying into open sea every day, jumping into the water to pee when the boat’s toilet broke, and forgoing dinner every day for a month to illustrate Oldham's slow starvation."
