Pineapple + Orange Fabrics Rock Sustainable H&M Conscious Exclusive 2019 Collection
About 20 years ago, I returned to my Victoria’s Secret head of design and product development office with my first Tokyo-purchased piece of clothing made from pineapple leaves. It was a beauty — sophisticated and not a rough-surface fabric like hemp was back then. Fashion has only changed selectively since then, chugging along slower than’ The Little Train That Could’, with a wink and a nod to sustainability.
One major brand NOT chugging at a snail’s pace in the drive to sustainability is H&M’s Conscious Exclusive collections. Oumie Jammeh, Alanna Arrington and Imaan Hammam encourage us to embrace a sustainable future, buying into the H&M Conscious Exclusive 2019 Campaign, lensed by Josh Olins.

Dams Can Mimic The Free Flow Of Rovers, But Risks Must Be Managed
In recent decades, humans have built many dams. These are designed to regulate flow for irrigation, hydropower and water supply. Most major rivers in the world are dammed.
But there are detriments to damming rivers. Many people depend on the natural ebb and flow of unrestricted rivers that swell with water in the rainy season and wane in the dry season. When the natural flow is changed, people and ecosystems are affected: globally, an estimated 472 million people living downstream of dams have suffered adverse effects from changes to the rivers’ flows.

AOC is a long-time fan of Barbara Palvin, whose body reminds us of the 90s, size 4-6 supermodels who ruled the world. Fashionistas who insist that a woman can never be too thin stirred up one heck of a controversy with assertions that VS should be congratulated for hiring Palvin as a plus-size model.

adidas Launches What Could Be Most Disruptive Product In The World: Futurecraft Loop Trainer
adidas shares the good news that Spring 2021 will be the launch date of its first fully recyclable trainer that comes with a never-ending lifespan. Let’s hope that America has a new president then, who has already announced that the US is rejoining the Paris Climate Agreement.
The adidas Futurecraft Loop trainer is a collab with Parley for the Oceans — an organisation working to raise awareness of the threat to the world’s oceans – to create the shoe, which will be made from reclaimed marine plastic waste.
“Taking plastic waste out of the system is the first step, but we can’t stop there,” said a statement from Eric Liedtke, executive board member at Adidas. “What happens to your shoes after you’ve worn them out? You throw them away – except there is no away. There are only landfills and incinerators and ultimately an atmosphere choked with excess carbon, or oceans filled with plastic waste. The next step is to end the concept of ‘waste’ entirely. Our dream is that you can keep wearing the same shoes over and over again.”

Why Age Gives West African Women More Autonomy and Power
Several studies, covering about 58 countries across the world, found that as women get older they are more able to make decisions independently of men. But scholars have struggled to pin down explanations for this age dividend – why are women given more independence the older they get? We wanted to know what the reasons may be.

Muslims Arrived In America 400 Years Ago As Part of the Slave Trade and Today Are Vastly Diverse
Most Americans say they don’t know a Muslim and that much of what they understand about Islam is from the media.
It’s not surprising then to see the many misunderstandings that exist about Muslims. Some see them as outsiders and a threat to the American way of life and values. President Donald Trump’s controversial policy to impose a ban on Muslims from seven countries entering into the United States played into such fears.
What many don’t know, however, is that Muslims have been in America well before America became a nation. In fact, some of the earliest arrivals to this land were Muslim immigrants – forcibly transported as slaves in the transatlantic trade, whose 400th anniversary is being observed this year.
