Do Kim Jong Un’s daughter’s CLOTHES show she is being groomed to one day rule North Korea? Kim Ju Ae and her father’s matching outfits symbolise their closeness
Once an elusive figure, the daughter of North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un has become a reliable mainstay at her father’s side in state-orchestrated photoshoots in recent months. Kim Ju Ae, who is expected to eventually take over from her father, was snapped on Thursday in a sharp leather trench coat with a furry lapel – an outfit that could have almost been borrowed from her father’s noir-inspired wardrobe. Followed by a military procession in Pyongyang to mark the 76th founding anniversary of the army, the pair stood out against a sea of olive in matching dark longcoats, black shoes and black trousers. As Kim Ju Ae, who is believed…

How to buy quality clothes
Natural fibers come with many benefits — cotton holds up well, wool is cozy yet breathable, linen is light and airy, and silk is, well, silky — and are often priced accordingly. However, there is significant variation within fabrics, and simply seeing natural fibers on a care tag is not a slam dunk. With cotton, for instance, the type of fiber matters. “If you use a lower grade of cotton, the fiber is shorter, so you can’t spin as fine and as strong of a yarn, and the fabric is not going to be as durable,” says Bishop, which may be why one cotton T-shirt is $10 while another is…

A Mountain of Used Clothes Appeared in Chile’s Desert. Then It Went Up in Flames
As Bloomberg reported in May, New York, California, Sweden, and the Netherlands are developing legislation similar to Chile’s extended producer responsibility law that went into effect this year, mandating that the fashion industry fund recycling programs via tariffs calibrated to the quantity of garments produced. In order to help New York City uphold its existing law limiting or forbidding textiles in the waste stream, FabScrap, a nonprofit founded in 2016 by a former New York Department of Sanitation worker, receives 7,000 pounds of preconsumer textile waste each week. Sorted by volunteers, the nonsynthetic scrap items are sent to a New Jersey facility that shreds the material, producing “shoddy,” a stuffing…

Could you commit to buying just five new items of clothing in a year? | Fashion
I love fashion, enjoy following trends, keeping up with new brands and dressing up, but I have always bought too much. So when a report last year found that no amount of recycled materials, regenerative agriculture or innovative fabrics are going to make enough of an impact to keep global heating at bay, I decided to embark on a new way of getting dressed. Those living in the high-income G20 countries, the report from the thinktank Hot or Cool Institute stated, need to radically reduce their fashion consumption. It set a specific brief: “If no other actions are implemented, such as repairing/mending, washing at lower temperatures, or buying secondhand, purchases…
