Has festival fashion gone too far?
Coachella 2018 style
The first weekend of the 2018 festival brought us denim thongs, chaps, bejewelled bustiers and other questionable costumes. "I just look at these outfits and all I can think is, ‘are they joking?’" Emily says. "It’s enough to make one long for he days of Waitrose flower crowns."

What to expect from Moschino [tv] H&M?
H&M used its party at the festival to announce its next collaboration, with Moschino. Creative Director Jeremy Scott promised that the collection, called the Moschino TV H&M collection, would include "fun and colour and cartoons."
"Jeremy Scott has great fun with print. His shows in New York I always really enjoy because he throws everything at them," Charlie says. "And actually the Moschino shows in Milan are fantastic -- he’s dressed Gigi up as a bunch of flowers before. These aren’t necessarily everyday, school-run, to-the-supermarket clothes, but they definitely make a statement."
Happy birthday, Victoria Beckham!
For her 44th birthday, the fashion designer and past Fashion Unzipped guest gave us a present, in the form of a new t-shirt design to benefit Red Nose Day USA. The t-shirt features a classic black-and-white image of all five Spice Girls jumping into the air, all with red noses -- and the back lists their nicknames, with red noses in place of the letter ‘O’. Could she be hinting at a reunion? (We hope so!)
Your wardrobe: the real cost of jeans and trainers
Ahead of the fifth anniversary of the Rana Plaza disaster and Fashion Revolution Week, we've produced a series of sustainable-fashion stories for the fashion pages of the paper.
Bethan wrote a feature tracing the impact of five pieces in everyone's wardrobe. The worst offender? Denim. "It's really quite incredible. We make two billion pairs of jeans every year, and each pair requires on average 2,000 gallons of water to create," she says.
"Much as we all love our clothes and we love that thrill of going shopping and finding something gorgeous to wear, it really is time for us all to have that second thought or try and think of ways to shop more smartly."
