Is culture running out of new ideas? In "Blank Space," W. David Marx argues innovation is scarcer than we think — and explains why he still sees hope from his base in Tokyo. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/culture/2026/02/21/books/david-marx-tokyo-culture/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #culture #books #wdavidmarx #harajuku #fashion #popculture
"The fashion industry thrives on exclusivity. Luxury brands maintain their status by limiting who is able to buy or even wear their clothes. If few women fit the “ideal” standards, then products serving only them are inherently exclusionary. Size charts become the de facto dividing line determining who belongs and who doesn’t."
An EU law coming into force this year that I only just learnt about:
“a formal ban on destroying unsold apparel, clothing accessories and footwear will apply to large companies starting 19 July 2026. Medium-sized companies will follow in 2030”
The reason why it’s needed: “Each year in Europe, an estimated 4 to 9 percent of unsold textiles are destroyed before ever reaching consumers.”
Absolutely insane statistic.

Keep seeing media about the shocking (!!) reemergence of smoking among young people.
No one seems to make the connection to 90s heroin chic skinny also being back in style.
Smoking is self medicating for hungry people.
(No, I do not have an equivalent theory about the huge wide leg pants. They're just cool.)
New EU rules to stop the destruction of unsold clothes and shoes
“Instead of discarding stock, companies are encouraged to manage their stock more effectively, handle returns, and explore alternatives such as resale, remanufacturing, donations, or reuse.”

My local library makerspace has a free sewing machine AND a free serger... not sure what a serger is... but it looks fancy.
Maybe..... I'll make a quick appointment to get a badge for these machines... Juuuuuust in case I wanna do more sewing in the future.
Ah damnit...
I do NOT have time... nor energy... to pick up another skillset....
But I could totally do this and make it work for exactly what I'm looking for.
