Boy’s Club. Perhaps no market has been more underserved in jewelry than men. Much to the relief of many a stylish guy, that has been changing due to market demand. Frederick Goldman, Inc., also uses black and blue sapphires to “reflect modern masculinity and sophistication,” says Tom Schwartz, vice president. The brand is known for using all metal types, but its new Fusion collection fuses platinum and gold and allows customers to customize their own rings. Meanwhile, its Chroma collection of precious metal and colorful ceramic rings “pair perfectly with luxury watches,” notes Schwartz.

Another feature, and this time in Business of Fashion! People with gaps in their lash line have had to give up wearing lash extensions & makeup to promote the growth of their natural hairs. And at times, it’s a shot in their confidence. Which is why we love this product so much. This serum is 100% oil free and lash extension safe. Meaning, they can still wear lash extensions to cover those gaps and feel confident in themselves and in the health of their lash hairs. Read more about this feature at https://lnkd.in/g_MTFCdT

Fashion designers are not only captivating audiences with their collections at New York Fashion Week but also shedding light on the issue of "deadstock" in the fashion industry. Deadstock refers to unsold items and the materials left unused in the production process, raising concerns about sustainability and waste. In response to this issue, many fashion designers are incorporating deadstock materials into their collections alongside virgin materials. By utilizing deadstock, designers can reduce waste, minimize environmental impact, and create unique and sustainable pieces that resonate with next generation conscious consumers. Despite the benefits of using deadstock, there is still a lack of collaboration between designers, customers, and manufacturers to fully leverage these materials. More partnerships and initiatives are needed to streamline the process of repurposing deadstock into new garments, fostering a more circular and sustainable fashion ecosystem. Viewed as a challenge, the management and utilization of deadstock in the fashion industry present a significant opportunity for innovation and sustainability. By advocating for increased collaboration and creative solutions, stakeholders can transform deadstock from a problem into a valuable resource that drives positive change in the fashion world. #FashionIndustry #Sustainability #Deadstock #FashionInnovation

Are you a leader in the fashion industry? If so, have you observed these? 😫 "I often feel like I'm running on empty, with no time to recharge." Because we care so deeply, many leaders push themselves to the brink, neglecting self-care and personal well-being. This leads to burnout and decreased productivity, and has an impact on your team as well. 😩 "I often feel isolated in my leadership role." Especially creatives, who have the gift of being more attuned to energy around them by nature, can pick up on stress and pressure, and experience feeling undervalued or misunderstood. As I'm talking to creative leaders in this industry, many of them tell me that they're struggling with: 💔heavy mental and emotional load 💔burnout 💔anxiety 💔imposter syndrome 💔constant pressure to be a source of inspiration and vision. In such a vibrant and creative industry, stress eats away from finding meaning and joy in our work, interferes with work-life balance, and disrupts our ability to be productive. And I truly believe we need to start with ourselves in order to bring on a sustainable change. That's why I’m on a mission to help as many leaders as I can to improve their leadership skills and their overall wellbeing so that we can better support our teams, our community, and ourselves. If you’re feeling any of the above, let’s connect. I’d love to grab a virtual coffee and see how I can support you on your leadership journey.
