"Monograms let you know that the wearer has achieved a certain level of success; they can afford to [customize something] from a time and a financial perspective."

Washi, because of its quality and texture, offers something not just tactile but psychologically soothing. It's about one-third the weight of cotton, light, breathable and dry to the touch.

The collection reworks Rapha's very popular City Jeans, offering two styles: The Work for men and The Aurelia for women, crafted from 12.5oz raw indigo selvedge denim sourced from the Cone Denim Mill in the USA.

The UK dumps 149m pairs of shoes in landfill annually. This is unacceptable when the vast majority can be fixed. Sometimes all it takes is a small gluing or stitching job, and you're only paying £4 then those shoes might last for another 12 months or even longer.

"They're everyday professionals who simply don't have the time to shop the traditional way," said Kneen about J. Hilburn customers. Instead, stylists manage fit, fabrics and wardrobe planning, effectively outsourcing the entire process for busy professionals.

Despite having to haul a dozen dumpster-loads of damaged goods out of the offices and the nearby Lab Store, to the tune of $1.5 million, Eileen said at the time, 'It was just stuff.' You can only imagine the emotions that might arise in a chief executive if they saw their sewage-soaked products floating by. Eileen and her staff did not linger there. They mobilized quickly-organizing carpools, impromptu meeting spaces, and arranging interest-free loans for staff needing cash during the crisis.

I'll be honest: Washing my actual pillows (not just the cases) used to be one of those chores I knew I should be doing, but rarely actually did. As long as my pillows were tucked inside clean pillowcases, I convinced myself they were fine. But that all changed after I came across this article on Apartment Therapy where three popular pillow-washing methods were put to the test.

When it comes to the ultimate easygoing, elevated bedding, you'll want to reach for the best linen sheets. This fabric is an old faithful with great range, seen everywhere from Scandi-style beach houses to cozy, colorful city apartments, owing to their breathability and relaxed look. And while you may think linen is just for summer and waterfront locales-yes, the moisture-wicking fabric works beautifully for body temperature regulation-the cozy, long-lasting material has become increasingly popular year-round for sheets, duvets, and shams for any style or space.

My mother always told me that the best cotton sheets are an investment I would not regret. She is right—the unfussy fabric is anything but one note.

At first glance, the faux fur treasures all look similar, but each has its own distinct perk. For instance, the Lola Blankets pick has a stretchy construction that's perfect for wrapping, while the Cozy Earth bubble blanket is the ultimate reading-in-bed accessory thanks to its heftier weight and tailored look. Since these are quite fluffy, I like to style my faux fur blankets in two ways, depending on my mood. For all-season decor, you can't go wrong draping it against woven upholstery.

Stephan Hohmann articulates, "As a traditional brand with a strong identity, we are constantly navigating between authenticity and relevance. We seek dialogue with individuals who share our values to reinterpret them in innovative ways."

This research-based design project by Laura Oliveira investigates discarded as a potential raw material for sustainable design applications. Human hair is produced continuously and in large quantities through everyday grooming practices, yet it is almost always treated as waste once separated from the body and typically disposed of in landfills. Despite its material properties, strength, flexibility, and durability as a keratin-based protein fiber, its remains uncommon within design and research contexts.

In this freezing season, we're thinking warm thoughts. Hot chocolate, '90s rom-coms, purring kittens, and the best luxury throw blankets. "Feels like -6 degrees" day after day has us dreaming up cozy blankets speciated for sophisticated lounging. We're talking thick wool that's not scratchy, cashmere not prone to pilling, oversized throws as soft as your favorite sweater. High-quality textiles are of the highest import, and we'll even pay the dry cleaning fee for this level of comfort.

In the show, "dirty" extends to anything that breaks fashion's pact with propriety. Here are clothes caked in grime, blotted with makeup, stiffened by salt, pieced from trash, frayed, and faded. The garments span decades, from the 1980s through the mid-2000s, when the likes of Vivienne Westwood and Jean Paul Gaultier built their fame on defying convention, to today, when corporatization has made such daring increasingly rare. But forgoing practicality frees certain designers from the demands that the body be polite-and thereby policed.

Before I graduated from college and became a full-time writer, I had my dream retail job: working at Reformation. Thanks to my treasured employee discount, I had a wardrobe stuffed with basics from the sustainable, celebrity-loved clothing brand, including adorable vacation dresses, matching sets, and cashmere sweaters. While I can confidently say Reformation's pieces are worth the investment, it's a bit of a splurge for my current budget without the sweet discount, so I've gotten creative and supplemented my wardrobe with a few wallet-friendly alternatives.

Having been at InsideHook for the past seven years, I know that you guys are super into Outerknown, the Kelly Slater-founded clothing company that specializes in laid-back basics that are equally at home on a beach or out to dinner.
