Everything a Beginner Needs to Go Surfing in the Rockaways @nymag @thestrategist @ucon_acrobatics “It took me way too long to figure out that investing in a good bag is essential. For more than a year, I made my weekly journey with my things packed inside of a recycled canvas tote bag and an extra plastic bag for my wet swimsuit. No matter how much I tried, my bag would always end up soaked and oftentimes leaking on the subway platform. Things got even more complicated when I invested in my own wetsuit and had to lug an extra canvas bag for it to slosh around in. After seeing me struggle with two damp totes, someone at Station surf shop recommended a waterproof surf bag. A game changer! I love this one from @ucon_acrobatics because it comes in a bunch of fun colors, has a separate pocket for your laptop, and feels extra secure because of its Velcro closure, but there are a number of brands that make them. The most important thing to look for is that it’s waterproof and has different compartments to chuck your stuff into. #waterproofbackpack #surfing #therockaways #waterproof #recycled #safe #multipurpose #bag @sdirshe

PANGAIA LAUNCHES EXCLUSIVE CAPSULE COLLECTION WITH SELFRIDGES @thepangaia @theofficialselfridges @hypebae Set out to save the bees through the #BeeTheChange initiative. Sustainable label PANGAIA has partnered with London‘s iconic Selfridges as its first-ever retail partner, to raise awareness of bee conservation. The limited edition collection is dedicated to saving the bees, spreading awareness and continuing to support the #BeeTheChange fund powered by @milkywire “Human survival depends on bees, as they pollinate 90% of the world’s food supply. Today, bee colonies are on the decline. They are a species recently declared as the most important on our planet. And we’re losing them at an incredibly fast rate,” states the collection’s press release, emphasising that the fund is set out to support grassroots NGOs that are working to preserve and protect vulnerable and endangered bee species across the world. The exclusive collection takes inspiration from bees, as well as the iconic Selfridges yellow, and sees hoodies, track pants and shorts made from recycled cotton and tees all crafted from seaweed fiber. Seaweed is both carbon neutral and 100% biodegradable, and acts as a staple in PANGAIA’s collections. The pieces are also dyed using environmentally friendly dyes and a recycled water system, reducing toxic impact on the planet. The exclusive PANGAIA x Selfridges will be available online starting August 10. #beeconservation #beethechange

EMPOWERED EMBROIDERERS: THE WOMEN BEHIND SEP JORDAN @mojeh_magazine @sepjordan Ahead of World Refugee Day, marked on June 20, we’re shining a light on the skilled artisans behind luxury hand-embroidered linen brand, SEP Jordan, and the founder of the initiative, Italian entrepreneur and philanthropist, Roberta Ventura. Roberta Ventura created SEP Jordan to break the traditional charity model and change the aid standard by providing a platform for talented women from a refugee camp. #SEPJordan employs hundreds of women in Jordan’s Jerash ‘Gaza’ camp to make embroidered scarves, cashmere shawls and home accessories — including throws, linens and cushions — all decorated in geometric patterns inspired by #Palestinian #heritage and infused with Italian style. By working at SEP Jordan, these women are provided a fair wage and a chance to provide an income for their families. “We must turn refugees into ‘former refugees’ by turning them into ‘economic agents’, and that’s what we have been doing at SEP Jordan for a few years now,” says Ventura. “SEP’s mission statement is very simple: it is to bring thousands of refugees above the poverty line. Make sure that they can monetise their talent, their skills, their work. Not by donating them money, but by empowering them.” #everystitchtellsastory #withrefugees #worldrefugeeday #worldrefugeeday2020

@wearebee.co.uk World Refugee Week 2020: Shop to Support @sepjordan ✊🏼 This week is #worldrefugeeweek. This week, we acknowledge and bear witness to the immense efforts, hardships, determination and humanity of those who flee from regional conflict. Many are subjected to seeing the worst of humanity. So in this week, we celebrate them. SEP Jordan employs craftswomen who happen to be refugees in the Jerash “Gaza” Camp. SEP are opening up sustainable paths to economic independence for hundreds of women & their families, selling beautiful high quality shawls, towels, handbags and clutches, home accessories and more. Their flagship store is in Geneva, they have shop spaces inside stylish hotels in Amman and Oman, are stocked in multiple boutiques in Basel, Bethlehem, Dubai and Italy, and are also stocked in @harrods It's ethical luxury at its best. @sepjordan @unhcrjordan @angelinajolie_unhcr #withrefugees #worldrefugeeweek #worldrefugeeday #worldrefugeeday2020 #handembroidery #withrefugees #traditionalcraftsmanship #jordan

@fuuuckingyoung PANGAIA To Launch Collection in Honour Our “Big Blue” by @adriano.fy @thepangaia In honor of the Ocean’s Day and furthering their eco-conscious efforts towards an overall carbon-negative goal, PANGAIA will be launching a collection inspired by our “big blue”. Including the materials science company’s ‘sell-out’ signature Hoodies, Track Pants, T-shirt (Organic Cotton T-shirt, Crop T-shirt, Long Sleeve Crop t-shirt), Sweatshirt, Short Shorts and Long Short, the colors are inspired by the natural hues found in the world’s 3 largest bodies of water: The Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian Oceans. The Pacific Ocean is the largest in the world and the Atlantic is the second largest. The Indian Ocean is the third largest ocean and is the warmest in the world. This new collection joins the company’s other philanthropical efforts, such as their existing partnership with SeaTrees in an effort to help reverse climate change — restoring, planting, and protecting coastal ecosystems that store CO2 in the most efficient & effective way. For each product sold, PANGAIA plants 1 mangrove tree with SeaTrees on the customer’s behalf. One mangrove tree stores up to 1 ton of CO2. The collection will be available on www.thepangaia.com on Monday 8th June 2020. #oceanday #thepacificocean #theatlanticocean #theindianocean #thepangaia #restoring #planting #climatechange #beautifuloceans

HIGHSNOBIETY PANGAIA x Takashi Murakami @thepangaia @takashipom @milkywire @highsnobiety Editor’s Notes: The universal plight of #bees has taken an unfortunate backseat recently, as the Covid-19 pandemic and ensuing uncertainty dominates the attention of the global media. However, bees are still dying at an alarming rate, and considering they contribute to the pollination of one-third of the world’s global food supply, their dwindling number remains a big cause for concern. To ensure the survival of the endangered species, eco-friendly label PANGAIA has launched the “Bee the Change” initiative with Milkywire, and a new fundraising capsule with Takashi Murakami, who lends his signature flower graphics to tees ($95) and hoodies ($220) made from organic and recycled cotton. The garments arrive in SS20-ready colorways of orchid, cobalt, and daisy yellow, and are cut to be slightly oversized – so it’s recommended to order one size down if you want a true-to-size fit. ©︎ Takashi Murakami/Kaikai Kiki Co., Ltd.

@lofficielusa - The Holistic Detox that #KateMoss and #gwynethpaltrow Swear By @joshiclinic Not your average fad detox of past years, Nish Joshi has created a #21dayprogram that doesn't ask you to cut carbs or sugar to achieve your health goals. @borgognopauline @joshiclinic @lofficielusa @lofficielparis While the term "detox" can be triggering and associated to harsh and extreme regimes, we spoke to trained medical Nish Joshi, whose clients include the likes of Kate Moss and Gwyneth Paltrow, on his holistic approach to nutrition and a 21-day plan he's developed that avoids all extremes and focuses on educating the consumer on long-term healthy habits. Without eliminating food groups, or putting extreme restrictions on eating, Joshi's program focuses on what you should eat, such as higher quality carbohydrates and an increase of green vegetables. Below he tells L'Officiel more on what makes his program different from other dieting fads and why his clients see so much success. #detox #21daydetox #joshiclinic #wellness #nutrition #bodymindcentering #detox #buynow #quarentinedetox #katemoss #gwynethpaltrow #alkaline #alkalinefoods
