Reform Addresses Sustainability at NYFW

This year, Reformation’s presence at New York Fashion Week will be invisible, like a show that never happened. But it happened, and it was digital, minimizing the brand’s environmental impact and entirely avoiding the waste that would have been created by an IRL program. For the “no-show show” collection, Reformation presents real clothes in a fake show.
Ditching your signature summer dresses and filling the “runway” with bold yet cozy fall accessories, indulge in varsity collars, brown blazers and vests, romantic silk and warm knits. And by using a list of new cold-weather-friendly sustainable materials (think cashmere and wool) and complementing looks with pre-owned accessories from The RealReal, the brand shows us that the best outfits are elevated with thoughtful touches. .

Rejoice that Mejuri has given its home market of Toronto a second retail location. Opening a store in the Yorkdale Mall, the store’s interior is designed around simplicity, geometry and boldness, and invokes intimacy through its accessible displays where you can touch and feel each item.
“Toronto represents the beginning of Mejuri; it is our home base,” says co-founder Noura Sakkijha in a statement. “Many of our first Toronto customers are still shopping with us and interacting with us six years later. Even as we expand globally, the relationships we have with our community here make us especially strong to continue delivering new stores and parts.”
