While AI became a threat to a lot of people and they feared losing their job, one company put AI to a good use for their marketing campaign. Checkout this post by Ghar Ghar Entrepreneur where they introduced us to Vino Supraja's marketing campaigns for her sustainable clothing brand. I absolutely love the way #deepfaketechnology was put to a creative use here. Vino Supraja thank you for showing us how AI can help make marketing campaigns interesting. #marketing #campaigns #sustainabilitymatters

Big news in the beauty world! Major brands like L'Oreal and Clarins are joining forces to create a genetic database of plants used in cosmetics. This means: ✅More Transparency: Consumers will have a clearer picture of where ingredients come from. ✅Sustainable Sourcing: DNA fingerprinting can help prevent ingredient fraud and ensure ethical practices. ✅Innovation Potential: This massive data bank could unlock new discoveries in botanical science. This is a big win for both beauty companies and conscious consumers! What do you think about this initiative? BTW, if you're looking to launch or grow your brand in fashion, beauty, or luxury, come check us out and shoot us a message. We're kind of a big deal, and we love helping people build empires. 😉 Best, https://lnkd.in/djBNqAYc #beautytech #cleanbeauty #dnacosmetics

Walking down Regent St last week the view was spectacular as always – twinkling lights and shop windows adorned with mannequins in dazzling sequinned party-wear. It's hard not to love the allure of sequins, I have to confess, I own and still wear them. However, there's an inconvenient truth about the environmental impact of conventional sequins that we all need to be conscious of. In December 2019, Oxfam revealed eye-opening statistics about the fate of sequins post-party season: 1.7 million sequinned items of clothing and accessories are destined for landfills, with 5% of individuals admitting to discarding their sequins once the festivities fade. Shockingly, party-goers only wear these outfits around five times before casting them aside. This year, the festive season in Britain will witness the purchase of a staggering 33 million sequinned garments and accessories, amounting to £415 million. The sad reality is that most sequins are made of plastic and do not biodegrade, leading to their lingering presence in landfills for years to come. So what should we all do? Oxfam ran a campaign in 2019 with celebrities like Alesha Dixon, Una Healy, and Alison Steadman , advocating for a shift in consumer behaviour. Their message was simple yet impactful - consider purchasing sequins second-hand. There are now specialist companies, Rachel Clowes Founder of The Sustainable Sequin Company, teamed up with the University of Leeds to develop the most gorgeous sustainable sequins. And designers like Paula Knorr and Stella McCartney use biodegradable sequins, so the industry is slowly changing. Another option which I would love to see is consumers changing their perceptions of where they can wear the sequins they already own. All to often they just wear them to parties and events, but why not wear your sequins to the supermarket? I'm quite sure Trinny Woodall would advocate this! The power to make a change lies in our choices. Together, we can turn twinkles into a sustainable sparkle! I would love to hear your solutions on how we can best address the sequin situation? #wearyoursequinstothesupermarket #SustainableFashion #SecondhandSequins #FashionResponsibility #OxfamInitiative

Grazie mille Harper's Bazaar Italia for the exceptional coverage of our VEGAN FASHION WEEK in LA. Our movement continues to break boundaries as it reaches Italia, the Mecca of high fashion. We are showcasing how ethical luxury can both inspire and respect the planet. This is the activism of Beauty. Here are a few translated excerpts: "The fifth edition of Vegan Fashion Week was held in Los Angeles, at the California Market Center (CMC), last week. Beyond New York, London, Milan and Paris every year, with different seasonality, fashion weeks are held that are smaller in terms of movement of people and media, but which try to bring a new and different voice to the fashion landscape." "When it was founded in 2018 by Emmanuelle Rienda, an expert in ethical and sustainable fashion, fashion was starting to realize its impact without having the right means to implement a revolution in this sense. Today one of the mottos of Vegan Fashion Week is "Ethical luxury is the future", after years in which awareness has been broadened as much as possible and events like this have promoted new production philosophies that give priority to social justice, animal rights and the environment, perhaps something is changing." "The organizers have understood the importance of celebrities and, taking advantage of their proximity to Hollywood, the participation of stars at the event is always significant. In addition to Maggie Baird, mother of #BillieEilish and Finneas and activist, also present at Monday's event were #RichaMoorjani, actress made famous by the Netflix series “Never Have I Ever”, #TaraReid of American Pie, Mychal- Bella Bowman and Natasha Bassett." "Definitely an interesting movement for the world of fashion that works and revolves around ideals that increasingly define the future of the industry. The Vegan Fashion Week aims to create an interest that orbits far from the canonical fashion weeks but which has a lot to offer, hoping for ever greater growth." https://lnkd.in/eP5-7uPt

Vital Proteins’ WOKE glow is showing. The popular collagen brand has decided to join the growing list of companies flatlining for pushing their radical ideologies. Unleash your beauty from within and shop @yonderfood on PublicSq. for premium grass-fed collagen peptides. ☕🌿 Vital Proteins, owned by parent company Nestlé Health Science S.A, has proven it’s more concerned with being a certified B corp company than providing its consumers with products that deliver results. From parroting the “global warming” narrative to celebrating their high ESG & DEI scores for “inclusivity and equity”, the nutritional brand ensures they achieve their daily quota for pats on the back from the woke mob. Their obsession with virtue signaling continues through tokenizing the sexuality of confused individuals on their social media platforms. Their campaign for “every body” features men dressed as women dancing around in disco-inspired attire because that has everything to do with selling collagen peptides? 🧐 In addition, the “health” brand partners with progressive LGBTQ organizations that specifically target impressionable youth under the guise of offering a sense of community and empowerment. One of the organizations even championed a post on their social media advocating for the legalization of “sex work”. 🤯 You don’t have to shop for brands that are helping fund agendas directly opposing your values. Make the switch to PublicSq. and start spending your hard-earned dollars with liberty-loving businesses like Yoder Foods that do not subscribe to the woke corporate agenda and are pro-life, pro-family, and pro-America. Yonder offers premium collagen options crafted to help you achieve the healthy results you’re looking for.🧋💪 Experience the glow of freedom by shopping values-aligned business on PublicSq.com 🇺🇸
