HONOLULU, Hawaii (Island News) — A group of Hawai‘i Pacific University students is giving fashion a sustainable twist, encouraging people to swap instead of shop.Their event, called The Green Xchange, transformed Aloha Tower Marketplace into a hub for community members to trade gently used clothing and accessories for free.

Vogue: Why do you think luxury has been slow to experiment with video shopping?I think because often it’s people in their houses, it’s scrappy, so brands look at that and think, “Oh god, that’s not for us.” But there are so many different entry points for live shopping. It can be personal shoppers doing one-to-one appointments with clients, or a one-to-many video or even customer service. The most important thing is having that video and human connection. It works hand-in-hand with developments in AI and how you sell products elsewhere. It’s about finding the right treatment, the right concept, the creative, the host’s scripting — and that’s just live shopping.Then, with shoppable video, the same approach applies. There’s a way to apply the same luxury and editorial credibility from the re...

I'm a self-proclaimed picky fashion editor. I often wear eccentric and eclectic pieces that look weird to the untrained eye. When it comes to normal pieces—the staples everyone owns—I struggle. I can style hot-pink Margiela Tabis in one minute flat, but something as simple as a denim jacket gives me major pause.The thing is I love staples. I need staples. I especially need them to anchor the rest of the funky pieces in my wardrobe. I love the feel and look of a simple denim jacket on everyone else, but I've never owned one I love on me. This fall and winter, I'm dedicated to investing in one I'm obsessed with. My denim-jacket research began by looking toward the street style from the most recent Paris Fashion Week.

To walk the streets of LaBelle, is to walk back in time.  Originally a home to cattle drivers and trappers, LaBelle had a population of 500 or so at its founding. Rural roots remain central to the heart of this growing city of about 5,400 people.   Nestled along the Caloosahatchee, LaBelle is known as the City Under the Oaks.   The southern, small-town charm was on full display Saturday.  There were tug of war games pitting paramedics against police.  There was also a dunk tank where the LaBelle Middle School Principal faced off against a taunting gaggle of elementary students.    “You nervous,”  a child called out among a chatter of other playful pokes at the principal. Principal Ryan Harris taunted back.   “I’m going to need everyone’s names that dunks me,” Harris shot back.     Harris...

The son of pickleball’s founding family shares what customers can expect at the Fashion Island boutique. Credit: PHOTOGRAPHS COURTESY OF J. PRITCHARD Frank Pritchard spent summers with his family on Bainbridge Island, Wash. In 1965, when he was 13, he complained to his dad, Joel Pritchard, that he was bored. “He said, ‘You know, when we were kids over here, we used to make games up.’ and I said, ‘Well why don’t you go make a game up then.’ We had an existing badminton court that my grandfather put asphalt on.

Pritchard was created and named after Frank’s parents, Joel and Joan. It was Joan who had coined the name “pickleball.” Four years later, followin...
