daughter North West , bringing her to the

South Africa to grow grass for recyclable textiles

An initiative is launching this month in
South Africa to grow a new type of grass
that can be used to create zero-waste
recyclable textiles.

Miscanthus is a new fully recyclable man made

Cellulose Fibre based on Miscanthus Grass

The project has been initiated by
sustainable textile and fashion company
Dutch aWEARness, which specialises in the
closed loop supply chain. The new Miscanthus (elephant grass) developed by the University of
Wageningen in the Netherlands contains a
high amount of cellulose, which can be
used to create viscose rayon - a sustainable
alternative to natural materials for textiles. After use, it can be converted back to cellulose.
In addition, the material is said to have a very limited impact on the environment, is easy to grow in a variety of climates, and can be recycled over and over again.
The 'Grass for Sustainable Growth' will kick off in Johannesburg, South Africa this month, with the planting of 1500 hectares of Miscanthus in South Africa's Eastern Cape.The project fits within the "Black Economic Empowerment” initiative of the South African government and is supported by the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs. The INGCA consortium – comprising Dutch aWEARness and the South African companies Ekcon and AlternaFruit – is behind the planting, and provides additional employment and good working conditions for the local farmers. The profits are entirely reinvested in the region. Dr Precious Mioloy-Motsepe, chairman of African Fashion International, will be invited to become the ambassador of the project.

So imagine an outfit made from Grass.. Would you wear it?

Fashion Designer Receives Backlash For Sending Models Down the Runway in Blackface Makeup That Sparkles

Blackface, which one Italian designer thought
would complete his black-themed presentation
at Milan Fashion Week backfired against him.
Claudio Cutugno came under fire for sending models down the runway with their faces painted black and topped with a layer of glitter. The backlash ensued the same week that Fashion Police ’s Giuliana Rancic made
an insensitive remark about actor Zendaya Coleman’s dreadlocks.

More about Blackface Makeup
Blackface—is a theatrical makeup popular in the 1800s that proliferated stereotypes of African Americans—is an all too common faux pas in the fashion industry. Repeat offenders include international editions of Vogue and
fashion magazine editors . But it happens elsewhere as well, especially in Hollywood. While blackface was more common in previous decades , films released recently have also featured actors in the makeup. In Thailand,
Dunkin’ Donuts used a model in blackface to promote its Charcoal Donut.

Cutugno however, has apologized to those he offended, saying that it “had nothing to do with Afro-American culture. I would have never thought someone could have [found] the
makeup offensive, otherwise I would have never used it.”-takepart


I guess its safe to say not "All that glitters is Ok"

Meryl Streep’s Three Daughters Star In A Fashion Campaign That Defines ‘Effortlessly Cool’

It isn’t surprising when celebrity’s kids or
brothers and sisters try to break out on their
own by going into acting, singing or modeling,
but it still fun to see.

The latest celebrity spawn fashion campaign is better than all of the rest, because instead of featuring one.celeb kid, it features three. & Other Stories‘ latest fashion campaign features Meryl Streep‘s three daughters, 31-year-old Mamie, 28-year-.old Grace and 23-year-old Louisa Jacobson.Gummer , Just think about all of the good genes in that photo for a second. & Other Stories is H&M’s cool sister label, and
this campaign is for their Co-Lab collection
with LA-based accessories and bag
designer Clare Vivier . (The collection will be
available online and in stores March 5.) The
trio were the perfect fit for the campaign.
According to Harper’s Bazaar UK , Clare says
that the sisters “are [her] dream customers –
creative, hardworking, stylish, city girls.”
The campaign photos show the sisters
modeling in different sunny Los Angeles
locations. In one pic, they are standing in
front of an auto body shop and looking like
the definition of stylish, laidback California
girls. They’re wearing light jeans, loose
blouses, flat shoes and modeling the bags. All
three have gorgeous slightly tousled blonde
hair that would even make Blake Lively
jealous. It’s also easy to see the resemblance
to their mother. It’s more than just the blonde
hair and facial features, they all have that
captivating presence Meryl has. You look at
the photo and wonder how cool it must be to
be one of them.

Khloe Kardashian or Nene Leakes To Replace Kelly Osbourne on Fashion Police?

Just 48hours after Kelly Osbourne quit Fashion Police, there is a strong rumor that E! might be considering Nene Leakes or Khloe Kadashian as possible replacement. Read what a source told Us Weekly.
         "[It's] "very possible" that [Kardashian]
will join the show. "She was supposed to
do it last time and passed. She may
consider doing it again but the offer would
have to be really high," the insider says.
"It's a lot of extra work for her."

I love Khloe but that aside, I think Nene Leakes is better at analysing than Khloe Kardashian. Leakes has appeared on FP in the past and her analysis during the show was unbiased and accurate. I vote Nene Leakes, who do you prefer?

The popular OAP also know as Queen B was spotted last night at the Metro FM awards draped in ultra luxurious Cartier jewellery and fashion accessories.

Accoding to Sunday World, Matheba just broke local records when she became the first local girl to model Cartier Products on the red carpet in a partnership deal.

She looks beautiful and elegant. Whoever dressed her up for the red carpet did a good job. The dress is a perfect fit, minimal accessories, hair and make-up, perfect. I rate 9.5 on a scale of 1-10. What would you rate her?

Outrage Over Magazine’s Emaciated ‘Corpse’ Model

A Danish fashion magazine has made a
public apology after running an image of
an underweight model in its latest issue.

The photo in Cover magazine started
trending on social media via the hashtag
#covergate and spawned a Reddit thread
called “ Corpse or model? ,” in which
thousands expressed their outrage over the
model’s emaciated frame.

Cover magazine’s founder Malene Malling
apologized on the magazine’s Facebook
page, calling it a “sad day.”

“I have not lived up to my responsibility
as a publisher, woman and mother and am
truly sorry,” she wrote.
“At Cover we have, in all the years, worked
to show an expanded beauty ideal,” she
said. “[To] show that you can be beautiful
in various ages and various sizes. We have
always sought to work with healthy girls.
Just two months ago we had plus-size
model Diana Graham on the front of the
Cover, so it is certainly a subject we focus
on.”

The fashion industry is frequently
criticized for featuring underweight
models in runway shows, magazines and
ad campaigns.
In 2010, French model Isabelle Caro died
due to complications from anorexia
nervosa.

She famously posed naked for an Italian
ad campaign called “No Anorexia” when
she was rail-thin, to highlight the
dangerous and deadly effects of eating
disorders.

The pictures of these models churn my stomach. How do they even employ them as models in the first place? I don't get it.
