Cardi B Is Teaming Up With Fashion Nova for a Design Collaboration,
Finally
Cardi B just dropped her majorly anticipated debut album, Invasion of
Privacy,this week (and it took less than 24 hours to be certified gold, NBD),
and she's not slowing down: The "Bartier Cardi" rapper revealed that she's
working on some sort of fashion collaboration with one of her favorite
retailers, the Instagram-favorite Fashion Nova.
If you follow Cardi on Instagram, you know she loves her Fashion Nova. She'll
wear it with Ralph Lauren, Altuzarra, and other designer goods... She's
described it as the secret for "how rich people like me stay rich." And, as she
told Apple Music Beats 1 in an interview Thursday: “With FashionNova, they gave
me the opportunity to design what I like and what I want to put out, and I’m
gonna put out a line with them, a little something-something... It’s gonna be
crazy because it’s what I like.”
Cardi B, whose wardrobe will never, ever be described as "minimalist," has
repped Fashion Nova on her 'gram, and it's been nothing short of iconic. Let's
revisit some of her best Fashion Nova moments, shall we?

Fashion as an Accessory to Activism
Fashion as an Accessory to Activism
In wake of the numerous marches across the nation, many of us rallied together during times of injustice and filled city streets with our unified voices. We take inspiration from historical organizations and movements of the past such as the suffragettes, the Civil Rights movement, the Black Panthers and many others. Not only does a collection of voices communicate a cause, but so can the fashion trends worn during that movement. By looking back at the history of various organizations, it is evident that the styles activists wore deeply aligned with the messages they sought to send.
One past example of leadership and activism arose with the British Suffragette movement, which influenced the creation of the National American Woman Suffrage Association. These women fought for voting rights against misogyny within society. Led by Susan B. Anthony, these women marched and modernized what was thought of as acceptable women’s attire. To align with their cause, they got rid of their bondages, petticoats and corsets, and they even burned their bras to free women both physically and metaphorically.
This leadership influenced great political advancements for women over the years. The legacy of women’s rights activism influences many of today’s movements like the #MeToo movement and the Women’s March. The #MeToo movement that surfaced loudly on social media and became an online sensation was highly perpetuated by celebrity women. With this sort of advocacy and defined leadership, many people followed suit and wore black in solidarity with victims of sexual abuse at award ceremonies and even at the 2018 State of the Union Address.

Stella McCartney Will Take Full Control of Her Fashion Brand
Stella McCartney Will Take Full Control of Her Fashion Brand
Stella McCartney will buy back the 50 percent stake in her namesake fashion brand owned by the French luxury group Kering, ending a 17-year partnership and establishing the British designer as a rare independent label in a rapidly consolidating market.
The deal, announced Wednesday, followed months of speculation that Ms. McCartney and Kering were negotiating a sale.
Ms. McCartney, 46, founded the brand in 2001 as a joint venture with what is now Kering. Together they positioned Stella McCartney as one of the first luxury brands with socially conscious values, including sustainable fashion, and built it into one of the most prominent names in British fashion.
Ms. McCartney built her reputation on chic contemporary tailoring designs for women and men, a refusal to use leather or fur in collections, her highly successful collaboration with Adidas on active wear, and fast-growing licensing deals for eyewear, swimwear, lingerie and fragrance lines. Now, in a display of confidence in its future, she has chosen to become her company’s sole owner.
“It is the right moment to acquire full control of the company bearing my name,” Ms. McCartney, a daughter of the former Beatle Paul McCartney, said in a joint statement from her and Kering. “This opportunity represents a crucial patrimonial decision for me. I am extremely grateful to François-Henri Pinault, his family and everyone at the Kering group for everything we have built together.” Mr. Pinault is the chairman and chief executive of Kering.

ASU fashion program on the fast track for industry innovation
ASU fashion program on the fast track for industry innovation
Just months into its first academic track at Arizona State University, the newly established fashion degree program is already looking like a powerhouse for fashion education.
Unfolding since last August in the School of Art in ASU’s Herberger Institute of Design and the Arts, the program offers a kaleidoscopic range of topics and experiences that has been drawing students from an array of disciplines to the newly renovated Fashion Studio on ASU’s Tempe campus.
“We are trying to put together a program that is responding to a changing fashion industry right now,” said Dennita Sewell, professor of practice and fashion director at a benefactor event for the Arizona Costume Institute (ACI) on March 26.
“We are striving to see that whatever happens in this space will lead to students getting jobs with this equipment and this program. You can manufacture Donna Karan’s line in this studio with this equipment,” Sewell told attendees gathered at the Fashion Studio for the ACI event.
She thanked Herberger Institute Dean Steven Tepper and School of Art Director Joanna Grabski for their support in designing the fashion program’s first year at ASU. Tepper and Grabski also heaped praise on Sewell for her vision and thought leadership.

Alternative Fashion Mob ends fashion week by celebrating local artistry
Alternative Fashion Mob ends fashion week by celebrating local artistry
Alternative Fashion Week 2018 will close its finale runway show Saturday at Express Live by featuring the work of 17 local designers, and, for the first time, a marketplace featuring local vendors.
Kelli Martin, co-founder of Alternative Fashion Week, said the finale and marketplace will give emerging and local designers the chance to share their work with full creative control.
“This is a platform for emerging and independent designers,” Martin said. “Giving them a platform where they can express their creativity, but not limiting their creativity.”
Rachel Murdoch, front-of-house manager for Alternative Fashion Week, said people attending the finale runway show should expect to see talent many in Columbus likely didn’t know existed in the city.
“There is going to be great music, low prices, and a marketplace. There is something for everyone,” Murdoch said.
All the events during the week normally take about a year to organize, Martin said. This year’s finale will be run by five members of Alternative Fashion mob, a nonprofit organization that orchestrates fashion events all year, and two fashion designers.
Murdoch said there are about 100 volunteers and models in addition to the core team to make the event possible.
Martin said she got the idea to bring a fashion week to Columbus after she worked on fashion week events around the country.
“I wanted to create a fashion week for designers who might not be able to afford other events around the country,” Martin said.
To make sure that new designers without funds can participate in the event, the organization raises money to cover material cost and give scholarships to some designers, Martin said.

Meet Marine Serre, The Radical Face of Fashion's Future
Meet Marine Serre, The Radical Face of Fashion's Future
There were a lot of small crescent moons in street style shots from the AW18 shows - red, black, as full sleeve prints or a discreetly placed logo. Fittingly cult-like when you consider the following that Marine Serre, the designer behind the motif, has quickly amassed.
You'll no doubt know of Nicolas Ghesquière, the creative director of Louis Vuitton, Phoebe Philo of Céline, and Karl Lagerfeld. Well, know that they're watching Marine Serre, having awarded her last year's €300,000 LVMH Prize fund.
A year later and Serre is making a mark, putting her investment to good use with her first runway show in Paris, and boundary-pushing techniques as she seeks to challenge our staid view of sustainability. She's also making her brand values clear with a number of international pop-ups, taking over retail spaces in China, London and Paris.
Dover Street Market is the latest store to feature an installation designed by Serre and close collaborator, Tanguy Poujol. And they were among the first to support Serre, picking up her first collection in AW17. 'I chose to champion Marine so early on simply because she has incredible talent,' said Adrian Joffe, President of the internationally renowned store. 'She has an incredibly strong vision.'

We’ll always have Paris:
We’ll always have Paris: Taiwan fashion house woos Asia clientele by showing
in ‘the top fashion city in the world’
Despite being rejected by many international department stores for its Chineseness and high price point, Taiwanese label Shiatzy Chen, founded 40 years ago, will persist with Paris shows, while launching a leisure line online
Known for its Chinese-inflected pieces that cater to a loyal clientele of luxury shoppers in Asia, Shiatzy Chen positions itself as a luxury brand, defying the notion that the label “Made in China” can’t be attached to high-end products.
Its price point is on a par with that of most European luxury companies, something that often doesn’t sit well with the global customers Shiatzy Chen has been chasing after for the past decade or so.
Henry Wang, the CEO of the company and the son of Madame Wang, is quick to point this out when we meet just before the autumn-winter 2018 show in Paris. “Lots of international department stores tell us that they don’t like the styling, maybe because it’s too Asian, too Chinese. The price range is also high,” he says.
