Can Luxury Fashion Ever Regain Its Luster? Interesting read!
Entertainment
The museum of everything: do you have time to look at 150,000 exhibits?
Over the past week I’ve really enjoyed watching Watchmen on HBO and it was great to see Regina King, Yaha Abdul-Mateen II, and Damon Lindelof win their well-deserved Emmys for the show.
Culture
The recent court decision in the Breonna Taylor case has sparked more protests across the United States. The images from those protests are powerful, people are furious, and protestors refuse to back down until justice is served.
U.S Politics
Amazing essay from The Cut on RBG and the belief that we attributed superhuman strength to her, but in reality she was extraordinary because she did not have any magical powers. Love this line "I hoped Ginsburg would save me, us, by controlling the timing of her own death because she represents all the values and virtues I most cherish: feminism, motherhood, friendship, earnestness, hard work, light humor, self-deprecation, rigor, and justice.”
This is probably my favorite campaign for encouraging people to get out and vote. The video is shareable, funny, and informative, all wrapped up in a flirty/sexy package.
Highlights of the Final Day of Public Honors for Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. RBG was a champion for each of us and one of my heroes. ❤
Industry
Another great example of a virtual pivot to a typically IRL event. Agency INVNT created a multiday virtual experience with a bunch of different features/ activations that allowed store associates to curate their own conference.
Influencer has partnered with Pinterest, the visual discovery engine and social media platform, to support their latest activation: Black Gold; a month-long initiative in celebration of Black History Month. Black Gold will showcase the full potential of Black creators and business owners, and highlight the amazing things that people are doing in the industry. During the month of October, Pinterest will be turning their much loved ‘Today Tab’ into a hub of resources; providing users worldwide with educational content, promoting Black creators, business owners, content and products, and showcasing inspiring content boards, shoppable products, and articles.
