What Gen-Z investors mean for fashion
M.C. Nanda writes about “a growing number of Gen-Z venture capitalists and investors pioneering new approaches in the space and translating their personal brand and community-building savvy into investment positions” and explores the implications for the fashion industry. One point of note, per Nanda: “Gen-Z is now focusing its energy towards companies that align with their own ethics and personal values, ranging from sustainability to mental health.” {Business of Fashion}

How the red carpet got fun again
Nick Remsen examines how the pandemic has changed the red carpet for the better, making it “freer — and more fearless — than ever” for Elle. “This year’s red-carpet looks feel enlivened by a refreshed, charged-up sense of dynamic liberty — with resultant confidence, ownership, openness and often boldness — regardless of whether someone is going for the low-key, the high-wattage or something in between. All that adaptation also seems to have emboldened wardrobe decision-making, with consistently joyous and optimistic outfits spotted from labels large and small.” {Elle}

Why mohair is currently trending in menswear
GQ‘s Cam Wolf welcomes us to “the era of Bro-Hair,” crediting mohair as the “biggest, fuzziest fabric in menswear” right now. “In menswear, there is nothing bigger than mohair, the shaggy wool comprising the sweaters and cardigans of the moment,” he writes, citing pieces by Marni, Awake NY, John Elliott, Isabel Marant, Brownstone, The Elder Statesman, Supreme and more. “Mohair’s tactility is the engine that keeps the Bro-Hair trend chugging. The sweaters have a look of something that’s lived a long life,” notes Wolf. {GQ}
