Even before launching her namesake brand earlier this year, Puerto Rico -born designer Amanda Forastieri has used fashion as a tool of political and cultural expression. The Drexel University alums student collections, titled La lucha de la Borincana (A Puerto Ricans fight) and Utopia, delved into themes like Puerto Ricos femicide crisis and the human-nature relationship. Following her winning the 2020 Supima Design Competition , Forastieri is now intent on building a brand rooted in sustainability , decolonization, and transparency. For the brands debut collection -- titled Fora, a shortened version of the designers last name -- Forastieri looked inward for inspiration. This was the first time that I was able to create outside an academic or competition setting, so there was a lot of freedom, she says. Every part of the collection, visually and conceptually, is directl...

But while Pang, who now lives in the San Francisco area, learned of Costco s clothing selection soon after that first trip, she wasnt as fast to jump aboard: I remember thinking, Why would anyone buy clothes here she says. In my twenties, I just really preferred going to the mall . It wasnt until she had her daughter that she changed her mind, finding the store not only convenient for its one-stop-shop capabilities, but affordable and, yes, even stylish thanks to its large selection of T-shirts, leggings, and skorts . Its very practical clothing, she says. So it was just convenient for me to s...

Welcome to Micro Trends , where we explore the latest and greatest of these blink-and-youll-miss-them style moments. Somewhere in an alternate universe, Steve Urkel is quaking in his oxfords.

When I was growing up, scarf tops were a defining trend for cool kids. It was the early 2000s, an era when celebrities like Beyoncé and Christina Aguilera often sported bandanas and scarves as tops, baring a lot of skin and inspiring teens and young adults to do the same. I can still remember the first time I asked my mom if I could wear one when I saw a girl sporting a royal blue scarf top at the supermarket, to which she replied: Youre too young for that. So, when the trend came back around this summer -- now thanks to celebrities like Bella Hadid and Rihanna, as well as designers like Versace and Blumarine -- I was excited to finally get to live out my Y2K fashion dream. But, while wearing a makeshift top badly tied around your chest seems like a great idea to a 9-year-old kid, putting it to practice as a 27-year-old professional is an entirely differ...
