Los Angeles is facing devastating wildfires fueled by 100mph wind gusts, marking one of the most destructive firestorms in the county's history. According to the L.A. Times, at least five lives have been lost, and over 2,000 buildings have been damaged or destroyed. Our thoughts and prayers go out to those affected and to the first responders and firefighters who are saving lives. The largest blaze, the Palisades Fire, has already burned through 17,234 acres with zero percent containment, while the Eaton, Sunset, Hurst, and Lidia fires continue to rage. As communities grapple with the immense loss and the urgent need for support, brands rooted in L.A.—a hub for the fashion and beauty industries—are taking action. This crisis hits close to home for many in these industries, and numerous companies and founders are stepping forward with donations, resources, and public calls to action. FASHIONISTA compiled a list of the ways fashion and beauty brands are rallying to support wildfire relief efforts. From financial contributions to grassroots campaigns, these efforts showcase the power of community and industry solidarity. 💕 #wildfires #disasterrelief #beautybrands #fashionindustry

Another feature, and this time in Business of Fashion! People with gaps in their lash line have had to give up wearing lash extensions & makeup to promote the growth of their natural hairs. And at times, it’s a shot in their confidence. Which is why we love this product so much. This serum is 100% oil free and lash extension safe. Meaning, they can still wear lash extensions to cover those gaps and feel confident in themselves and in the health of their lash hairs.

Michael Kors' #merchandising team selectively applies animated badges to collection cards for featured products ⭐ Think this could work well for #dtc #cpg brands in the health/wellness space or where important attributes aren't obvious from the picture (featured ingredients, "made without" etc) The transparency enables more words for a "product label" without completely obscuring the image as well What do you think? #ecommerce #fashion #UXUI #webdesign
