Your Favorite Colors, Symbolizes Your Generation

Millennial pink, gen Z yellow, brat green… Tell me your favorite colors, and I’ll guess your generation Although each generation seems to adopt a particular palette, it would be simplistic to view this as a biological or universal phenomenon. While color is the visual effect produced by the spectral composition of light that is emitted, transmitted or reflected by objects, how we interpret it is above all a social and cultural construct, shaped by customs, ideologies and media influences. As French historian Michel Pastoureau, points out, colors are not created by nature – nor solely by the eye or the brain – but by society, which assigns them different meanings depending on the era. They thus become a kind of indicator of the transformations of each decade. In the chapter secti...

Being Attractive Doesn’t Guarantee Success In The Workplace

Beautiful People Don’t Always Win In The Workplace Beautiful people tend to have a lot more luck in the work world. Research has shown people deemed attractive get paid more, receive better job evaluations and are generally more employable. It’s even been shown that good-looking CEOs bring better stock returns for their companies. In part, this may be because companies believe consumers are more likely to buy things from beautiful employees, which is perhaps why retailers like Abercrombie & Fitch have used looks as criteria in their hiring process. Abercrombie says it stopped doing that in 2015. There’s some evidence, however, that this worker “beauty premium” may be wearing off – at least when it comes to employees who interact with consumers. In television commercials, for exam...

AI Celebrities? How Artificial Intelligence Is Creating The Stars Of Tomorrow

AI Celebrities? How Artificial Intelligence Is Creating the Stars of Tomorrow In today’s entertainment landscape, the rise of artificial intelligence is not only reshaping industries—it’s also redefining what it means to be a celebrity.

Does Fashion Influence The Lives Of Students And How?

Does Fashion Influence The Lives Of Students And How? Fashion has always been more than clothes—it’s a form of identity, communication, and self-expression. For students, fashion often carries even greater weight, shaping how they see themselves and how they’re perceived by peers. But does fashion truly influence student life, and if so, how? One of the biggest ways fashion impacts students is through self-confidence. The way someone dresses can influence how they feel about themselves. A student who wears clothes that reflect their personality, culture, or values often walks into class with a stronger sense of identity. In environments where peer perception matters, the right outfit can empower a student to feel more included and respected. Fashion also plays a role in social belonging...

Silent Book Club: A Time To Get Away From It All

It’s a guilt-free way to block out time in your schedule to do nothing but read. Shhhh! Silent book clubs are in session all across the United States. According to an Aug. 12 National Public Radio report on the subject, Guinevere de la Mare co-founded the Silent Book Club organization with Laura Gluhanich in 2012 because the two were annoyed by the demanding imperatives of traditional book clubs. In chroniclebooks.com’s “How to Start a Silent Book Club,” de la Mare offered: “It’s a guilt-free way to block out time in your schedule to do nothing but read. It’s the gift of stepping away from the computer and the god-awful news for a couple of hours to simply relax with a book.” SBC currently recognizes 70 active chapters (no book pun intended). Rules are loose and simple: ‒ Arrive...

The Fashion Flip: How Thrift Culture Became High Fashion

Discover how thrift culture went from bargain racks to high fashion runways. Learn why secondhand style is redefining luxury, sustainability, and individuality in modern fashion. Not long ago, thrift shopping was dismissed as something people did out of necessity, not style. Secondhand stores were often associated with bargain hunters and vintage enthusiasts on the fringe of mainstream fashion. Fast-forward to today, and thrifting has flipped the script: what was once considered lowbrow has been embraced by influencers, celebrities, and high-end designers alike. Thrift culture is no longer just about saving money—it’s about making a statement. From Necessity to Trend Thrift culture has its roots in practicality. Generations of shoppers turned to secondhand stores for affordability, ...

The Rise Of Micro-Trend Communities

The Rise Of Micro-Trend Communities Social media culture is evolving faster than ever, and one of the most fascinating shifts is the rise of micro-trend communities. These tightly knit, niche-driven groups are reshaping how trends emerge, spread, and sustain themselves online. Unlike traditional viral moments that fade quickly, micro-trends thrive in small, highly engaged circles, often building lasting influence. From Mass Trends to Micro Movements In the early days of social media, platforms like Facebook and Twitter were dominated by massive viral sensations—dance challenges, memes, and hashtags that reached millions overnight. Now, TikTok, Instagram Reels, and even niche platforms like Discord and Reddit are proving that smaller, more targeted trends can have just as much impact—if ...

The Intersection Of Fashion And Cultural Respect

I’m not First Nations, but I want to wear First Nations fashion. Is that okay? If you’re not First Nations yourself, you may have found yourself asking if it is okay for you to wear First Nations fashion. What can you buy? How do First Nations people feel about ally wear? To help answer this, I spoke with 20 First Nations Knowledge Holders from Tarntanya/Adelaide, Naarm/Melbourne and Warrane/Sydney to hear their perspectives on ally wear, respect and responsibility. Overall, Knowledge Holders said it’s tricky. Wearing clothes by a First Nations designer or brand as an ally can be a good way to show support if you’re being respectful and genuine. But it can also feel empty or even hurtful if it’s just for show. When ally wear is welcomed For several of the Knowledge Holders I sp...
