New Style Idea

Melania Trump is lending her voice to the coronavirus fight. In a new PSA announcement, the first lady discusses the threat of the virus and what it means for the American people, urging citizens to follow Center for Disease Control and Protection guidelines to stay safe amid the pandemic. “Today I want speak to you about coronavirus and what it means for you and your family. While changes need to be made now, this is not how we will live forever. Our children will return to school; people will return to work; we will gather at places of worship, concerts and sporting events,” Trump says in the video. “Stay safe, and remember, while many of us are apart, we are all in this together.” View this post on Instagram A post shared by First Lady Melania Trump (@flotus) on Mar 19, 2020 at 9:01am PDT The coronavirus is known to have infected 10,700 Americans, with more than 150 deaths recorded.

Whether it's a slouchy and low-slung straight leg (also referred to as "dad" jeans), loose and tapered silhouette (this look is more of th

In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic and economic fallout, the businesses of young, emerging and independent designers are likely to be the most vulnerable. In a new series, FN will spotlight these creatives to learn how they are adjusting to a new way of working and living. Freda Salvador , the women’s shoe label known for its handcrafted made-in-Spain footwear, is forging ahead during the coronavirus crisis. Like many, the 29-person company shuttered its New York and California stores through the end of March to help stop the spread of COVID-19, which has already impacted business, said co-founder Megan Papay. She also noted a dip in online sales. “The silver lining in this whole thing has been that the dialogue with our customer has always been super important as well as creating community,” she said. “It’s such a core part of the brand.” In the midst of the pandemic, Papay, who launched the California-based brand with Cristina Paloma-Nelson in 2012, said she has been preparin

With the coronavirus forcing shutdowns across Europe, small independent labels are under pressure as they struggle to stay afloat under challenging conditions. While the situation is critical, governments are stepping in with multi-billion Euro aid packages, many factories still remain in operation and news the Chinese economy is beginning to recover is bringing hope. “Things are changing day by day,” says Arianna Casadei , communications and marketing director of Casadei. She is basing herself between her home in Rimini in north eastern Italy and the company factory and headquarters in nearby San Mauro Pascoli where factories can remain open as long as they have no cases of the virus and adhere to strict safety precautions.

Casadei’s acceleration of an omnichannel strategy has paid off as brick-and-mortar sales stall. January to March e-commerce figures were up
