Todd Oldham is “making things from other things” with the Todd Oldham Maker Shop
In partnership with his nephew, jewelry designer Presley Oldham, the designer best known for his ’90s-era colorful prints and maximalist kitsch is launching Todd Oldham Maker Shop. Though the concept of the shop wasn’t a result of ’90s nostalgia, Oldham admits to Vogue‘s José Criales-Unzueta that “the ’90s was a pretty exciting time for original ideas.” The jewelry featured in the first drop is made from elements from Oldham’s past collections and archives, including buttons from Spring 1994 and beaded disc shapes from Fall 1993. Speaking of his sculptor father, Brad, who made all the metal items in the collection, Presley says, “The fact that your uncle designed something, your father made it, and, just a couple of decades later you pull it out and it becomes your art supply, I mean, that’s pretty unusual.” You can shop and learn more at toddoldhammakershop.com. {Vogue}

Why certain sustainability startups are still getting investments
Despite a shaky economy, sustainable fashion startups are gaining support and investments from several large names in the fashion industry, writes Sarah Kent. Stella McCartney has launched a $200 million venture capital fund focused on climate solutions, reimagining materials, ingredients, energy and supply chains. Leather-alternative producers Bolt Threads and Natural Fiber Welding and kelp-yarn manufacturer AlgiKnit are some of the more fashion-focused investments included in McCartney’s portfolio. Zara parent company Inditex joined a $30 million funding round for textile-to-textile recycling business Circ last month. The French luxury giant Kering is also making sustainability-based investments such as in lab-grown leather startup VitroLabs and the resale site Vestiaire Collective. Investment in next-generation materials more than doubled in 2021 to nearly $1 billion, according to nonprofit Material Innovation Initiative. {Business of Fashion}
