"Playboy has come a long way since its inception in the ’50s, starting out as a magazine that simply featured iconic women (albeit through the lens of the male gaze) and transitioning into a fully-fledged brand for iconic women, alongside streetwear aficionados, collectors and fans of fashion alike.” So says Hypebae in “Documenting Fashion’s Obsession with Playboy,” a deep dive into Playboy’s journey from a men’s magazine to a global lifestyle brand and streetwear staple that counts Kate, Naomi and Cardi as fans.

🔷💍 Embracing Inclusivity: The Rise of Diamond Rings for Men 💍🔷
Gone are the days when diamond rings were solely a symbol of femininity. In today's evolving fashion landscape, inclusivity is paramount, and that includes redefining traditional jewelry norms.
As fashion designers, it's crucial to stay attuned to shifting trends and consumer preferences. One notable trend making waves in the industry is the increasing demand for diamond rings tailored to men. No longer confined by outdated gender stereotypes, modern men are embracing the elegance and sophistication of fine jewelry, including statement diamond rings.
This shift reflects a broader societal evolution towards gender-neutral fashion and self-expression. Just as women have long enjoyed the versatility of accessorizing with diamonds, men too are now seeking pieces that reflect their personal style and individuality.
In a world where diversity and representation matter more than ever, it's essential for fashion brands to adapt and cater to the evolving tastes of their clientele. By embracing the trend of diamond rings for men, designers have the opportunity to celebrate inclusivity and cater to a broader audience.
As we navigate these changing times, let's continue to push boundaries, challenge stereotypes, and celebrate the beauty of self-expression through fashion. Together, we can create a more inclusive and diverse industry that truly resonates with all individuals, regardless of gender. 💎✨

The fashion industry is systemically racist.
Just like the rest of society, conscious and unconscious bias is rife throughout fashion, let alone in the boardrooms of multi-billion dollar corporations. After the industry collectively conceded that changes had to be made in the aftermath of the Black Lives Matter movement in 2020, there's been a great deal of conversation but genuine change has been lacking.
Three years on, there's so much to unpack from Tremaine Emory's resignation and its potential fallout. Just look at the comments to BoF’s Instagram post or scroll through how the news is being discussed on Twitter.
Utilising the art of storytelling for a higher purpose, Tremaine's work continually uses any platform afforded to him as a Trojan Horse for his designs to question, challenge, highlight. This would have been one of the reasons why Supreme, acquired by VF Corp for $2.1 billion in 2020, appointed him as its first creative director in February 2022. Yet, a collaboration with challenging visual artist Arthur Jafa was met with (alleged) resistance. Delays to Supreme x Arthur Jafa was too much for Tremaine. Now, rather than a Trojan Horse, a grenade has been thrown.
UPDATE: Tremaine had a revealing conversation with Vogue Business about his decision. This quote is everything:
“I never did Supreme for the money… You know the week I started at Supreme, we dropped 5,000 pairs of denim on Denim Tears. It sold out in minutes and we took $1.7 million. My annual salary at Supreme was $600,000. I didn’t need to do it for money. I did it to change things.”
Now he will concentrate all his energy to create change through the brand he founded, and which he controls.

About time this conduct is exposed!
#mentalhealth#fashionindustry
How blind the fashion world has been! And sadly followed by mature mindsets, who could not see beyond the actual facts.
I too was almost exploited at age 15, when I was spotted by a talent search Guy named Roy... In a lift as we shared wanting me to pursue modeling. Thanks heaven I first enquired at the model agency h evisited that day, . l saw when exited the model house floor.
After I collected my study material on a different floor, my curiosity stepped in.
I decided to enquire about this Roy guy, at the model agency on my way down.
An older sweet women warned me to be careful for these wolves, they are nothing but manipulating young girls, offering fame and fortune just for their sick desires. So I dropped that idea and felt lucky not to be a victim
I Followed fashion as a career, because its in my genes, blame granny.
I started sewing my first ball gown for the neighbor's at age 12 no labor charged, Because I was greedy for experience, only the fabrics was supplied. Also hand painted gold flowers to enhance the dress,funny how the experience flows when the mind is willing. A kid with no prior experience of painting on fabric.
This article opened my almost lost passion and thanks to the post of my favorite influencer,Awa k. Ndukwe yesterday. Who encouraged the #projectMe plan
I can use this to regain and promote a new sense in ladies to embracing what they have, to feel good about themselves, and feel good about having a fuller figure,and not compete with children's figures.
I fully support Condé Nast plans to transform the fashion industry especially in the age related guidelines.
Sadly only an ex model can see this through experience, and not want this harsh exposure for her future daughters.
In a company I worked I also witnessed how hired models always felt uncomfortable where the boss ordered them to try on the clothes in his presence it made a particular model squirm.
She ran into my office to rather undress and fit the clothes in my presence of safety and not feel uncomfortable.
She confided in me regarding this male boss I worked for who hired her.
Back then, I was not well equipped to advise her about sexual harassment. :(
And how sad that the fashion world imposed unrealistic looks upon full grown women, based on the pedophilic mentality of men behind the scenes who only crave this child-like look in any woman for eye candy pleasures!
Kudos to #kondeNast For exposing this reality. It's abuse on a mental level.
Sick is an understatement.

*Black cultural capital*
Its great until uncomfortable conversation are brought up that address the origins of the culture.
People like Tremaine, Virgil, Angelo, Ye are the reason why minority creatives like myself can believe it is possible to get into these spaces despite the lack of connections and access to resources.
Systemic racism hasn't gone away, but it isn't the major problem anymore - its a layer POC creatives have to navigate on top of everything.
Im on the side of "you can't change the system within the system" you can, however use the system temporarily to channel resources into building the alternative, which is what i think the phase of minority creative directors in major houses has done.
Now its stage two, grow these established alternatives and create pathways for minority creatives to develop without being the only non-white person in the room, having to tip toe around white fragility at the very mention of uncomfortable conversations about racism.

It's fascinating to witness how tied bows have become a phenomenon across social media and fashion in 2024. From women's rights to political power symbols and now a viral TikTok trend, these simple knots are more than just fabric tied in a pretty shape; they encapsulate a myriad of meanings and aspects of modern culture.
