Valentino gets 'pretty in pink' in bold Paris show

Borsalino looks ahead with cool bucket hats, baseball caps
The new collection displayed during Milan Fashion Week takes inspiration from the Arts & Crafts design movement in mid-19th century Britain. “You can change the attitude of the hat.”Unisex styles, including baseball caps, berets and bucket hats, come in updated new materials - including a spotted cow print, black patent leather and rainproof nylon. Such genderless looks are becoming an increasingly important part of the collection, Santucci said. Last season’s film featured dancers from Alessandria, site of the original Borsalino factory, dancing through the factory floor.

Is there even a point to doing New York Fashion Week in 2020? “Ultimately fashion is a business, and Fashion Week is a platform for designers to do business,” says Steven Kolb, chief executive of the Council of Fashion Designers of America, which organizes the semi-annual event. But this is really, really seismic.
Children with disabilities now have more adaptive clothing options
Scheier founded Runway of Dreams Foundation, a nonprofit working to make fashion more accessible for people with disabilities, and partnered with Tommy Hilfiger in 2016 to launch a line of adaptive clothing for children. In 2017, Target added adaptive apparel made specifically for kids and toddlers with disabilities to its children's line Cat & Jack. The same year, Zappos launched Zappos Adaptive on its website, where it began selling sensory-friendly clothing. Most recently, in June Kohl's announced that it will introduce adaptive apparel to its three largest children's brands. Kohl's clothing will have features including abdominal access, wheelchair-friendly options and sensory-friendly options, such as shirts with flat seams, which are designed specifically for children with autism or sensory processing disorder so they don't feel the clothing pinch or rub too hard against their skin.
