Many locals don’t even bother trying. Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc. All Rights Reserved. 87990cbe856818d5eddac44c7b1cdeb8

Hour after hour, day after day, artist Naiomi Glasses sits on her floor in silence, weaving at her loom. "It's very meditative," she said. "And having to do these repetitive motions, you kind of just get into a trance. It really is a great time to just sit and think." Native American weaver Naiomi Glasses.

Taylor Swift Sells Out Stadiums, Movie Theaters—and Clothes

In August, Nell Diamond, who runs the fashion and lifestyle brand Hill House Home, was in Montana on bridesmaid duty, getting ready for her best friend’s wedding reception. Peeking at her phone between hair and makeup, she found over 100 texts from her employees, and messages kept rolling in. “At first, I couldn’t figure out what we were freaking out about,” said Diamond, founder and CEO of the brand best known for its Nap Dress. Then she saw: Taylor Swift had worn a black matching set from Hill House to the rehearsal dinner of her frequent collaborator Jack Antonoff and actress Margaret Qualley, and paparazzi photos were swarming the internet.

Pharrell Williams Brings Louis Vuitton to Hong Kong for Fashion Show

HONG KONG—For one night only, this city’s famed promenade along the waterfront was converted into a sandy shoreline. Louis Vuitton, the Parisian luxury powerhouse, staged a glitzy fashion show in Hong Kong Thursday evening, with a front row studded by Chinese celebrities, music by the brand’s menswear creative director Pharrell Williams and models marching along the fabricated seaboard in sailor uniforms and surfer wetsuits. The blowout affair—Louis Vuitton’s first show in Hong Kong—asserted LVMH’s commitment to courting Chinese shoppers and projecting confidence in what is one of the world’s largest markets for luxury goods.Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.

The ‘Gorpcore’ Backlash: Why True Adventurers Are Skiing in Jeans and Hiking in Rompers

FOR YEARS, Navarro Guerro, 25, searched long and hard for his dream cycling kit. You might think finding it would be easy given the rise of the “gorpcore” aesthetic, which saw black Arc’teryx rain shells and Klattermusen hiking pants become as covetable (and fashionable) as sneaker collaborations. Not for Guerro, a product engineer in Salt Lake City who said he finds much of this technical apparel garish, too often covered in shouty logos. He’s purchased a few different pairs of mountain-biking pants, he said, but doesn’t “like the feel or racer look of tech fabrics.”So when Guerro spotted some fellow riders tackling challenging descents in what looked like plain, dark-wash jeans, he was intrigued. Turns out the pants, made from reinforced denim, came from Ripton, an Aspen, Colo., brand f...

Since When Do Millennials Love to Sew?

THIS SEPTEMBER, Colin Meredith, a 29-year-old in Vancouver, Canada, went on a six-day camping trip with his brother. Surviving a week in the Canadian wilderness, especially with a sibling, calls for fortitude. More impressive: Meredith, a freelance clothing designer with clients like Rapha, made his tent, sleeping bag and clothes on his home sewing machine. Sewing, as a hobby, evokes grandmas more than campers. Indeed, many learn the basics from an older relative. At some point, though, a lot of would-be tailors discover that old-school models leave room for improvement. When he started sewing this year, Amardeep Singh, 32, got away with using just such a family machine. But when the Brooklyn, N.Y.-based UX designer tried feeding it trendy technical fabrics, it balked. “It was just freaki...
