I'm not sure about how much I'll be able to post this morning but we'll see. I'm still kinda enjoying being on break in an amazing place (The Riviera). But, as I scan though stuff every morning, I eventually do dump everything interesting into my inbox in #Emacs so I guess some #fashion stuff will make it there.
“We really need to slow down our consumption. We buy too much stuff. We buy 60 per cent more clothes today than we did 20 years ago. We keep our clothes for half as long.”https://globalnews.ca/news/9723465/fashion-greenwashing/
I post this as a public service. This is a photo of my slacks, supposedly a size 38. You can see in the picture that they are 20 inches across (so actually size 40). That is how men's sizing works. I have others like this. My experience is that men's pants are often at least 2 sizes bigger than the tag. It's a conspiracy against women.
Chile's Atacama Desert, the driest desert in the world, has been a dumping ground for fast fashion leftovers. A mountain of discarded clothing, including Christmas sweaters and ski boots, cuts a strange sight in the desert, which is increasingly suffering from pollution created by the fashion industry.
(...) The size of the pile and the pollution it's causing are visible from space, making it clear that there is a need for change in the fashion industry."
Earlier today it clouded over so I slung a pullover around my shoulders to keep slightly warmer.
Went back to the house just now for a tea refill and was told "ooh look at you with your jumper round your shoulders. You look like James Dyson or something."
Needless to say I'm now sitting here slightly colder in a t-shirt.
'Vuestros ojos' is a #Spanish#melancholic song found in a 1610 collection of #songs titled "A Musicall Banquet" edited by Robert #Dowland (1591-1641). Robert was the son of the 'father' (John Dowland) of the melancholic wave, that was sweeping Europe at the time
'Vuestros ojos' was a popular song in that melancholic #fashion, but added a Spanish temperament!
Ok starting a new art thread for 2023! Here's the deal: a mostly daily thread with a different artist every day (sometimes I repeat from previous years if I feel like featuring other work/projects), primarily modern and contemporary since that's my thing. I'm even making a hashtag for it in case that makes it easier for folks to follow. Enjoy! #art#BigArtThread
