It's about fucking time: Stella McCartney's PETA call and more in the style news – style

Be careful, hurry up!

Every year there is a white T-shirt in fashion that miraculously hijacks the zeitgeist – perhaps to the surprise of even those who invented it. The last one was from Dior and read: “We should all be feminists.” It happened right at the height of the Me Too debate, and you wouldn't believe how many of the front row residents suddenly wanted to be feminists! Now it's that time again, like just visiting the Stella McCartney show in Paris. Great agreement among the audience: “It's about fucking time!”, it's about fucking time! And the more you think about that slogan, the more you realize how fucking awesome it is. In fact, it's about damn time for everything: the first female president of the USA, the end of “Emily in Paris”, world peace and fewer calories (and of course the opposite of that). But connoisseurs of course have an idea in which direction the request will be aimed when it comes from Stella McCartney: a cleaner, greener, more animal-friendly planet. The website states this even more precisely: 3.4 million birds are killed every year for their down feathers. 1.5 million crocodile skins are made into fashion every year. Thousands of polar bears are hunted for their fur every year. The Stella McCartney label doesn't contribute to this, it has always been 100 percent vegan. T-shirts and tank tops cost 250 euros (stellamccartney.com)

Lying blue

Slowly, routine has returned to everyday school life, getting up way too early to just catch the bus, the big holidays just a wonderful memory. “Back to school” has been celebrated for years, as if there was nothing more wonderful than the final end of the summer break. Of course, it's an invention of adults to use the slogan to advertise clothes (college style in miniature), supposedly great stationery (a set square is supposed to be cool?) or extra clever things for the bookshelf. So that “Back to play” is not neglected: The animal carpets by the Italian designer Marco Oggian for Qeebooavailable as a blue panther, lion or polar bear, are colorful, imaginative and guaranteed to have more playmates than classmates (qeeboo.com).

A bit more

From a distance it looks as if someone has converted the typical Chanel handbag chain into a necklace. However, upon closer inspection you see a small dial in between and think: Ah! A clock! 2 in 1! To finally notice the cables and headphones and stare at the other person's chest in complete amazement. With the limited “Première Sound”, Chanel has combined high jewelry and high tech: You can use the headphones to make calls and listen to music – and of course you could have had it wirelessly, but young people are currently rediscovering wiring as a trend. see Kaia Gerber, Lily Rose Depp and the Instagram account @wireditgirls. But be careful, such a 3-in-1 piece of jewelry is a real conversation piece. The wearer will constantly have to explain herself and the functions and let someone try them out. If you prefer not to be involved in conversations (or wired), simply turn up the music (chanel.comPrice on request).

Bottega for the bathroom

More jewelry, but this time for the bathroom. Over the past few seasons, Matthieu Blazy has modeled Bottega Veneta into the most fashionably and technically beautiful “craft” label. Of course there was no time to worry about perfume, which hasn't played a major role in the house so far anyway. Of course, this can't last forever, because there's still a lot of room for improvement and fragrance, especially with high-priced niche perfumes. So this week five new creations were introduced, all inspired by Venice and the in-house intrecciato, braided leather and so on and so forth We'll skip over the olfactory details for a moment because Colpo di Sole, Come with Me, Acqua Sale, Déjà Minuit and Alchemie certainly smell fantastic, but what you can say one way or another: The bottles, which look like hand-blown Murano glass looks like you would stand in the bathroom with cologne in it. Preferably even five of these sculptures on the small green marble altar. Unfortunately, they cost 390 euros each. Certainly just so that you don't fill up the whole bathroom with it (bottegaveneta.com).
