Inside the Launch of Our Sustainability Issue at the Lieutenant Governor’s Suite

Each year North Americans send over 10.5 million tonnes of textile waste to landfills, 95% of which can be recycled or reused. It’s no secret that when it comes to pollution, the fashion industry is hanging out with heavy-hitters in oil, mining and agriculture. This is a club we’re trying our best to get out of. For our Carbonzero Certified November 2018 issue, we wanted to share stories about sustainability that are real, relevant and hopeful. Stories that answer the questions: am I doing enough for the planet? What easy changes can I make to lead a more sustainable life? How can I build a wardrobe of eco-conscious clothing that I’ll actually want to wear?

To launch our #SustainabilityReboot issue, we joined The Honourable Elizabeth Dowdeswell, Lieutenant Governor of Ontario, at her Queen’s Park Suite to celebrate our commitment to creating conversations around sustainability within the fashion industry. “The sustainability movement signifies a return to quality and thoughtful design,” FASHION’s Sustainability Issue guest editor Sarah Jay said to the room of guests, “the luxuries that feed the soul as opposed to fast-fashion machines.”

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans .

Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
