| | rantnrave:// Hello again, naturally... TRUMP is very AMERICAN. Not all but a very dark and real side of America. It's part of us. Appearances over substance. Fame mistaken for competence. Blame. Violence. Racism. Sexism. Classism. Xenophobe. Superiority complex. Liar. Charlatan. Grotesque. Glutton. Bully. Sad but true. We all need to find our inner JOSEPH WELCH. When is it enough?

Other technologies lower environmental impact, like 3D knitting and lab-grown leather. Will tech-driven R&D see wider adoption in fashion? A must-read FashionSET: "Pioneering Materials: Fashion and Tech"... Happy Birthday to NICOLE HANTAS-EMANUEL, NICK R. FROST, and BRAD BECKERMAN. Belated to SAM BELL, STEVE GOLD, COLIN HELMS, MELISSA ROSENTHAL BRENNER, LIZ HELLER. and TARIQ KRIM. | | | - Jason Hirschhorn, curator |
