The fiery exchanges between US and Chinese top officials at last week’s Alaska summit have inspired a slew of patriotic T-shirts and other merchandise in China. Clothing carrying quotes from China’s foreign policy chief Yang Jiechi including: “The United States is not qualified to be condescending in its tone when speaking to China. We Chinese people don’t buy it”, and “stop interfering in China’s internal politics”, have become popular online. Many shoppers online said by contrast they found the US’ comments displayed a “rude and unreasonable attitude”. Others said they felt especially proud after comparing China’s current behavior with more than a century ago when humiliating international treaties were forced on the nation by the West and Japan, a period that still angers many in China today. “China is not what it was before,” wrote one person at news portal 163.com. “We have the confidence to talk to the US aggressively.” In the past few days products including T-shirts, ... » Learn More about ‘Stop interfering in China’s internal affairs’: Patriotic products quoting US-Alaska summit take off online on Taobao

The dark side of fashion is a ravaged landscape of waste and environmental damage, but a retailing revolution could change that picture. On-demand manufacturing will eliminate oversupply and waste, proponents say, ensuring only those items that have already been paid for will get made. Designers, manufacturers, retailers and logistics companies are championing the on-demand way to shop. Fashion designer Misha Nonoo , who has collaborated with Meghan Markle on a capsule collection, has instituted an on-demand, direct-to-consumer system for her label. Her customers order one of her classic pieces and then wait for it to be made and shipped. Brian Rainey, CEO of US-based production and logistics company Gooten, says the Covid-19 pandemic gave a huge boost to the e-commerce revolution already under way in retail, which in turn is aligned with on-demand manufacturing. Consumers around the world will shop more online, he predicts, upending the world of retail and changing the way ... » Learn More about The next big fashion revolution? It’s made-on-demand clothes

Autism is often regarded as being swept under the rug. Few people reportedly want to talk about it, either because of not knowing how to broach the subject or due to a lack of knowledge in having a proper discourse. A new streetwear initiative in Malaysia is now seeking to change that. The Autism Streetwear Project wants to "rebrand" the condition so that it does not remain a taboo subject – instead, giving it a more welcomed identity. Founder Dr Khew E Joon says it is all about getting the word out and educating people. One effective way to achieve this is to draw a parallel between autism and streetwear. He notes that streetwear was not something always accepted. The style of dressing has proven to be controversial in the past, where it was linked to rebellion among the youths or countercultures like grunge and hip-hop.

Sam “SV3” Verzosa III with the SV Squad MANILA, Philippines — One of the biggest breakthroughs in the streetwear fashion scene over the last couple of years all came from a humble passion project of one person carving his own legacy, and it started in the most unlikely of places: a simple freebie from the most opulent gathering in Metro Manila. Sam Verzosa III — or SV3 to those who know him — has his roots in Sampaloc, Manila. He is the younger brother of the Frontrow International CEO and Maserati Philippines president, Sam “SV” Verzosa Jr. The Verzosa brothers learned the importance of discipline very early in their childhood as they were raised to be self-starters. What’s even more admirable is that both men navigate through life with open hearts and have made it their life-long mission to give back to this world and inspire success in others through generosity. SV3 has always been the artist in the family, with a particular affinity for urban music and culture. As a ... » Learn More about Sam Verzosa III and the new era of high fashion streetwear

What role can fashion play in tackling climate change? A slogan T-shirt here, a recycled swimsuit there? How about harnessing biotechnology to create clothes that suck in carbon dioxide and release oxygen? That’s the big idea behind Post Carbon Lab, an East London design research studio founded by Dian-Jen Lin and Hannes Hulstaert. Alongside their sustainability consultancy, they provide piloting services of microbial dyeing and a process they call photosynthetic coating, which uses algae and cyanobacteria to form a living layer on fabrics. While it varies between items, the ballpark figure is that a T-shirt treated with this coating releases as much oxygen in six weeks as a six-year-old tree. However, it’s important to note that this data only reflects the part Post Carbon Lab can measure – that is, when they’re processing the item. Once it’s in the hands of the wearer, it’ll vary according to the care routine. “Depending on which statistics you use, some people say fashion is ... » Learn More about To tackle climate change, fashion and biotech are combining to make clothes that are grown and breathe like plants
