Post Pandemic Personal Observation Regarding The Chande And Perception Of The Society Towards The Fashion Industry And Aesthetics

I think that the main impact will be due to the paradigm and the consumer perception toward fashion products. Main focus for the materials – More Sustainable Be…
Last year put an unprecedented strain on our lives, affecting us in ways big and small—in ways obvious and in ways we likely haven’t even started to understand. Yes, 2020 transformed us. And with the start of 2021, we understand that our journey is not done. We are still learning and growing. It’s never been more crucial to look at our own needs—emotional, mental, emotional, and spiritual. Practicing self-care is important in tough times and at all times, and trying new wellness…
We all have our reasons for giving up alcohol. It used to be that we were going out too many nights a week, spending too much money and rolling in too late on a school night.

Perhaps that’s why 1 in 5 of us are giving Dry January a go in…
This year has been full of history-making moments, including civil rights protests, the global Covid-19 pandemic – and even the CIA releasing actual footage of UFOs. Perhaps the most alien thing to have happened, though, is that we’ve had to stop touching each other. 2020 became the year when physical contact was forbidden: French kissing, hugging, holding hands and sex were all off the table (and any other surfaces where germs can live). Dating apps advised users to keep their dates digital, while…
The 90s had a huge impact in fashion, especially when creating an idea or a specific trend. During those years, the fashion industry gained more popularity and fashion shows had a more important role than just showing a collection. Fashion shows became like a story, a story that was in perfect harmony with the collections presented on the runway. Designers had another vision and they brought a whole new thing to the world and to all those fashion lovers. Nowadays,…
We’re all aware that on January 1, we don’t get some magical reset. It’s a continuation of what we’ve been dealt this year, but it does come with some super fresh perspective. It’s a time to rid ourselves of what is not working, what feels stale, and what doesn’t serve us, and it inspires us to put our very best foot forward in achieving our goals and setting new intentions. For many, that means inviting love (or at least, some…

‘Scalp health’ is the beauty buzzword du jour for good reason; the length, lustre and health of your hair depends on the skin that covers your head. With stress and pollution levels consistently creeping up and up, it’s hardly surprising we’ve all got scalp issues on our mind. Research by Philip Kingsley indicates that 42 per cent of the UK population are conscious about a scalp issue, while Space NK reported a 196 per cent growth in its ‘scalp care’ category in…
