Sports and Fashion Keep Coming Closer Together
The links between sports and fashion have been growing for some years now. We’ve seen soccer shirts become fashion icons, with Inter Miami’s pink top by Adidas selling out in little time and being ranked as one of the items that defined 2023 by fashion experts. We’ve also seen Gucci bags appearing on tennis courts and golfer Tiger Woods is launching his high-end lifestyle brand named Sun Day Red after ending his long association with Nike.
Horse racing has always been a sport with close links to fashion, as races like the Kentucky Derby and the Melbourne Derby give spectators the chance to dress in their finest garments. The slot game titled Ruby Walsh Champion's Gold at Paddy's shows how this sport has reached other areas of the entertainment industry. This game is based on one of the most iconic jockeys and sets the scene with images of smartly dressed racing fans. The diversity of the slot genre is seen in the way that other games include different sports and aspects of popular culture like fashion.
More New TV Shows Covering Fashion
Fashion has always been a big part of the television experience, from 1980s shows like Dallas and Dynasty that showcased the era’s most extravagant looks to the numerous brands featured on Sex and the City in the 2000s. However, we need to go back to 1985 to find the launch of the influential Fashion Television show in Canada, which was arguably the first to show the latest collections from top designers like Karl Lagerfeld and Alexander McQueen.
Currently, we can choose from a range of recent dramas and documentaries based on the fascinating world of high fashion. Cristóbal Balenciaga is a Disney+ show that takes us through the life of the controversial designer while revealing the politics and the business dealings involved in fashion. The New Look is an Apple TV+ show about the rivalry between Coco Chanel and Christian Dior, while Kaiser Karl on Disney+ will show us the life of Karl Lagerfeld.
Sustainability Becomes a Bigger Issue with New Solutions
The subject of sustainability in fashion isn’t as captivating as the other areas we’ve looked at. Yet, given the size and importance of this industry, its impact on the planet is something that simply can’t be overlooked. A report by Business Insider suggests that fashion creates a tenth of all carbon emissions across the planet. Thankfully, some moves are being made to change this. Nuearth is a sustainability company that offers storage solutions that are virtually carbon-free and they’ve recently announced that they’re working with the Chopard jewelry brand.
All of these trends let us see how fashion is now present in so many parts of our lives, changing how we think about our clothes as well as our pastimes and passions.
