<p>Indian fashion e-tailer Myntra is set to change its logo following a complaint by a Mumbai-based activist.</p>

<p>The complaint, lodged last month with the cyber cell in Mumbai by Avesta Foundation's Naaz Patel, said the brand's signage was offensive towards women.</p>

<p>The logo will be changed across Myntra's website, app and packaging material.</p>

<p>In a tweet, Avesta Foundation said: "Congratulations to our founder. She did it what apparently seemed impossible. Thank you everyone for your support. We're overwhelmed by the response. Kudos to @myntra for addressing the concerns and respecting the sentiments of millions of women."</p>

<p>The matter, however, drew a mixed response from netizens. While some welcomed the company's decision to change the logo, many said such demands for logo changes seemed whimsical.</p>

<p>A few also said the complaint brought to notice the supposed structure of the logo, which many would not have cared to notice otherwise. They said they 'cannot unsee it now'.</p>

<p>Flipkart group company Myntra is one of the largest fashion e-retailers in the country. During its 'End of Reason Sale' last month, it sold 11 million items while catering to more than 5 million orders.</p>

<p>Kanye West's apparel brand Yeezy has sued one of its former interns for breaching a non-disclosure agreement.</p>

<p>According to The Hollywood Reporter, the intern who reportedly worked for the company from February 2020 to summer 2020, allegedly shared confidential Yeezy photos on his Instagram account, according to a complaint filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court.</p>

<p>The NDA that intern signed included a $500,000 liquidated damages provision. By signing the agreement, the intern would have agreed not to share confidential information on social media, which Yeezy is claiming he did when he posted photos on his personal Instagram account.</p>

<p>The complaint claims that despite multiple cease and desist letters having been sent to Inwards, Inwards continued to "publicly post Unauthorized Materials on social media sites."</p>

<p>Yeezy is seeking punitive damages, claiming Inwards acted maliciously, in addition to the $500,000 for breach of contract and conversion.</p>

<p>In 2015, West, 43, launched the brand with a debut at New York Fashion Week. The Yeezy look of monochrome streetwear basics has become a celebrity staple, and the brand's iconic sneakers are incredibly popular.</p>

<p>American fashion giant Ralph Lauren Corp. dropped its sponsorship of world number three golfer, Justin Thomas, on Friday, six days after his homophobic slur was picked up by television microphones.<br />
<br />
Thomas apologized the next day for his "terrible" and "inexcusable" remark, but in a statement Friday, the New York-based apparel firm said that his words could not be associated with their brand. "We believe in the dignity of all people, regardless of age, race, gender identity, ethnicity, political affiliation or sexual orientation," the Ralph Lauren statement said.</p>

<p>"This is part of our longstanding commitment to foster cultures of belonging –- in the workplace and in communities around the world.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"We are disheartened by Mr. Thomas's recent language, which is entirely inconsistent with our values."</p>

<p>Thomas, a 27-year-old American, uttered the anti-gay slur on the fourth hole of his third round at the US PGA Tournament of Champions in Hawaii after missing a five-foot par putt, causing an immediate stir on social media.</p>

<p>"While we acknowledge that he has apologized and recognizes the severity of his words, he is a paid ambassador of our brand and his actions conflict with the inclusive culture that we strive to uphold," Ralph Lauren said.</p>

<p>"In reflecting on the responsibility we have to all of our stakeholders, we have decided to discontinue our sponsorship of Mr. Thomas at this time.</p>

<p>"As we make this decision, our hope is that Mr. Thomas does the hard and necessary work in order to partner with us again -– truly examining this incident, learning, growing and ultimately using his platform to promote inclusion."</p>

<p>Thomas, who won a major title at the 2017 PGA Championship,&nbsp;finished third in the event, which he had won in 2020.</p>

<p>Under soft light and in concentrated silence, seamstresses at a workshop in the heart of Paris carefully assembled fine Calais lace, embroidering it with onyx beads and sequins in delicate motifs.</p>

<p>A couture bra takes two days to create, a bustier three. Corsets, meanwhile, require "real expertise, it's very French," according to Amandine and Vanille at the headquarters of luxury lingerie brand Livy.</p>

<p>A piece is made in 20 steps, sometimes with 15 materials. The process takes patience and precision.</p>

<p>The limited collection, made entirely by hand, is created exclusively for weddings or red carpet events, according to 39-year-old designer Lisa Chavy.</p>

<p>The rest of the line is ready-to-wear and designed to appeal both to clients who want something racy but discreet, and for those looking beyond function for lingerie that is a bit more showy and a fashion accessory in its own right: a subtle sexy strap, or bit of lace to peek out from underneath clothing.</p>

<p>Chavy, who has been a designer for mainstream labels, created the brand three years ago hoping to offer something more modern and fresh, in a country where lingerie has been world-famous for 200 years.</p>

<p>"I couldn't find any lingerie that I really wanted to wear," she said.</p>

<p>Forgoing cushioned bras and shape-altering pieces for a more natural look, Livy's designs focus on delicate, intricate patterns in lace for an elegant feel.</p>

<p>During a recent fitting before a photoshoot, Chavy carefully fastened an ornate gold clasp on a bra worn by one of the models.</p>

<p>Hidden clasps and other visual illusions, such as lacework resting on transparent tulle, are part of the playful seduction that is Livy's signature.</p>

<p>Lingerie should be refined, commanding and vulnerable all at once, Chavy said.</p>

<p>One of the top executives at a fashion retailer recently announced his impending resignation in order to prioritise the professional ambitions of his wife.</p>

<p>Rubin Ritter, the co-chief executive of Zalando said that he would resign before the company’s annual meeting in May next year “to devote time” to his “growing” family. "My wife and I have agreed that for the coming years, her professional ambitions should take priority," he said on Sunday.&nbsp;</p>

Top European fashion retailer co-chief quits to prioritise wife's work ambitions

<p>Model Halima Aden has put a break on runways shows after reflecting on how was being portrayed by the western fashion industry.</p>

<p>The 23-year-old model shared a series of childhood photos, fashion campaigns and photoshoots she had been involved in that made her feel pressured to compromise her religious beliefs, namely her decision to wear the hijab, for her career. Aden&nbsp;is a Somali-American&nbsp;Muslim, who fled Kenya as a child and was raised in Minnesota.</p>

<p>"I wish I never stopped bringing my black hijab to set," she wrote in one photograph of herself wearing a black hijab. "Because the minute I got comfortable... well let's just say I got too carried away."<br />
<br />
<img alt="Halima" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="4c60c5de-07e9-4797-9299-1c84877f7874" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/halima4.JPG" /></p>

<p>Aden took to her Instagram stories and described her experience as a model wearing a hijab.</p>

<p>"But... this isn't even my style?? Never was. Why did I allow them to put jeans on my head when at the time I had only ever worn skirts and long dresses?" she wrote over a photo of her American Eagle campaign.<br />
<br />
<img alt="Halima" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="d0afb1fc-354e-495e-a260-00d973a44f57" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/halima5.JPG" /><br />
<br />
<img alt="halima" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="fd2713b7-899c-40dc-8bf9-6dff69779d8d" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/halima5_0.JPG" /><br />
Aden was the first woman to wear a hijab in the Miss Minnesota USA pageant and later became the <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/halima-aden-becomes-first-hijab-wearing-model-on-british-vogue-cover-127762">first hijab-wearing model at many runway shows across the globe.</a> She has also appeared on numerous magazine covers and style campaigns.</p>

<p>She even made history as the first to wear a hijab and a burkini in Sports Illustrated's 2019 Swimsuit Issue.</p>

<p>For a 2017 photoshoot&nbsp;for Glamour where she wore a green wrap under her hijab and feathers around her neck, she wrote,&nbsp;"I went back to my hotel room and just sobbed after this shoot because deep down I knew this wasn't it. But was too scared to speak up. Also very common struggle when you are the FIRST to do something. Like what was that hideous green grass thing on my head?"<br />
<br />
<img alt="Halima" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="0cacbc7d-8684-4812-bb68-18a43c1c7201" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/halima7.JPG" /></p>

<p>Aden said it was the coronavirus pandemic that allowed her time to reflect on the career choices she was making, writing, "As I've said many times being a minority inside of a minority inside of a minority is never easy."</p>

<p>"Being a "Hijabi" is truly a journey with lots of highs &amp; lows," she continued. "With that said my hooyo macaan (mother) has been pleading with me for years to open my eyes. Thanks to Covid &amp; the break away from the industry I have finally realized where I went wrong in my personal hijab journey."</p>

<p>"My mom asked me to quit modeling a LONG time ago," Aden wrote in a post honouring her mother, Rukia Ahmed Aden. "I wish I wasn't so defensive. Sis was literally the only person who had the purest intentions for me. The advice she gave me was "DEEN over Dunya." And her stance has never once changed."<br />

Model Halima Aden has put a break on runways shows after reflecting on how was being portrayed by the western fashion industry. The 23-year-old model shared a series of childhood photos, fashion campaigns and photoshoots she had been involved in that made her feel pressured to compromise her religious beliefs, namely her decision to wear the hijab, for her career.

Model Halima Aden has put a break on runways shows after reflecting on how was being portrayed by the western fashion industry. The 23-year-old model shared a series of childhood photos, fashion campaigns and photoshoots she had been involved in that made her feel pressured to compromise her religious beliefs, namely her decision to wear the hijab, for her career. Aden is a Somali-American Muslim, who fled Kenya as a child and was raised in Minnesota. "I wish I never stopped bringing my black hijab to set," she wrote in one photograph of herself wearing a black hijab. "Because the minute I got comfortable... well let's just say I got too carried away." Aden took to her Instagram stories and described her experience as a model wearing a hijab. "But... this isn't even my style?? Never was. Why did I allow them to put jeans on my head when at the time I had only ever worn skirts and long dresses?" she wrote over a photo of her American Eagle campaign. Aden was the first woman to wear a hijab in the Miss Minnesota USA pageant and later became the first hijab-wearing model at many runway shows across the globe. She has also appeared on numerous magazine covers and style campaigns. She even made history as the first to wear a hijab and a burkini in Sports Illustrated's 2019 Swimsuit Issue. For a 2017 photoshoot for Glamour where she wore a green wrap under her hijab and feathers around her neck, she wrote, "I went back to my hotel room and just sobbed after this shoot because deep down I knew this wasn't it. But was too scared to speak up. Also very common struggle when you are the FIRST to do something. Like what was that hideous green grass thing on my head?" Aden said it was the coronavirus pandemic that allowed her time to reflect on the career choices she was making, writing, "As I've said many times being a minority inside of a minority inside of a minority is never easy." "Being a "Hijabi" is truly a journey with lots of highs & lows," she continued. "With that said my hooyo macaan (mother) has been pleading with me for years to open my eyes. Thanks to Covid & the break away from the industry I have finally realized where I went wrong in my personal hijab journey." "My mom asked me to quit modeling a LONG time ago," Aden wrote in a post honouring her mother, Rukia Ahmed Aden. "I wish I wasn't so defensive. Sis was literally the only person who had the purest intentions for me. The advice she gave me was "DEEN over Dunya." And her stance has never once changed."

British designer Stella McCartney, known for her long-standing defence of animal rights in fashion, sent models in giant farmyard onesies down her catwalk at Paris Fashion Week on Monday (March 2).

Designer Stella McCartney's humorous take on ethical fashion

<p>Stella McCartney pledged Monday to try to change the world's biggest luxury fashion group from within after LVMH took a stake in her label, one of the most sustainable in the world.</p>

<p>The British designer made a spirited defense of her decision to become "personal sustainability adviser" to LVMH owner Bernard Arnault, who regularly swaps places with Amazon boss Jeff Bezos at the top of the list of the world's richest men.</p>

<p>"My mum (the late animal rights activist Linda McCartney) used to say infiltrate from within," McCartney told AFP hours before her Paris fashion week show, which featured lots of vegan leather and a menagerie of furry-costumed animals who skins are used in fashion.</p>

<p>And she batted away fears that Arnault was using her for window dressing after he dismissed teenage Swedish activist Greta Thunberg as not "offering anything other than criticism".</p>

<p>"Call me stupid. I hope I am right," McCartney said, after inviting Christiana Figueres, the former UN climate chief who was engineered the Paris agreement, to meet a group of fashion movers and shakers on the eve of her show.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"I choose to believe that I can make change, that I can show them a great example of a different way of doing business," McCartney said.</p>

<p>- 'I won't let it go' -</p>

<p>"If my business is healthy -- which I need it to be to shout to them that this can be the future of fashion -- then I believe they are not going to sit back and ignore me," she added.</p>

<p>LVMH "saw the quality of products I was making and they compared it to the quality being made by all the other brands that are killing millions of animals and the environment, and they said, 'Hey this looks the same,'" McCartney said.</p>

<p>But the designer -- the daughter of Beatle Paul McCartney -- did not defend LVHM's decision not to sign the "Fashion Pact" on fighting climate change at the G7 summit in France last year, which was championed by its main rival, Kering.&nbsp;</p>

<p>LVMH, whose huge stable of labels includes Dior, Louis Vuitton and Givenchy, is seen as lagging behind Kering, which owned half of McCartney's brand until she bought them out last year.</p>

<p>"I think it sends out a huge positive message that Mr Arnault has invested in a house that is this sustainable and has this kind of conversation the night before its show.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"He is not here telling me I can't do this. He is fully behind it," McCartney insisted.</p>

<p>"I am his personal adviser on sustainability... and I am hugely passionate about it. I am not going to let it go. We will see what I can do, but my intention is to do something.</p>

<p>- 'Let's make change' -</p>

<p>"F***&nbsp;it, let's make change," she declared.</p>

<p>Asked if getting into bed with Arnault -- once dubbed "the wolf in a cashmere coat" -- wasn't risky for her brand, McCartney hit back that she "might have a few fleas myself -- but they are good ones that I am taking into another dog house.</p>

<p>"I also showed them a business model that was healthy and was making change and that was accepted and that was beautiful," she added.</p>

<p>The British creator has built up a formidable reputation for producing classy and wearable clothes that are ethically produced, pioneering recycled wool and new vegan materials to replace leather and fur.</p>

<p>The climate message has been omnipresent in Paris fashion week LVMH brand Dior festooning its show with neon slogans such as "Patriarchy = CO2" and "Patriarchy = climate emergency" that might make uncomfortable reading for its owner.</p>
