Style icks: What would you censor in the fashion world?

By avi maxwel / in , , , , /

As North Korea censor a pair of jeans, the Euronews Culture team ask themselves: What would we want to blur out of fashion?

When you think of 74-year-old British gardener and broadcaster Alan Titchmarsh, who helms the wholesome ITV gardening show Love Your Garden, censorship is probably not the first word that springs to mind.

Still, that hasn’t deterred North Korea’s state television Central TV, which has censored a 2010 episode of the BBC gardening programme Alan Titchmarsh’s Garden Secrets (which does sound a bit filthy, come to think of it).

The reason? His jeans.

They blurred out presenter Titchmarsh’s trousers, as jeans are seen as a symbol of western imperialism in the secretive state – and are therefore banned.

According to Seoul-based NK News, North Korea’s rules prohibiting jeans have been in place since the 1990s. Then leader Kim Jong-il declared denim trousers to be a symbol of Western – and specifically American – imperialism, which had no place in a socialist state keen on cracking down on Western culture.

It is not clear how the regime acquired the rights to Garden Secrets to air the show, but the green-fingered presenter’s denim-clad lallies are now barred.

Sophie Nélisse On Her Personal Style & The Fashion Pieces She’s Shopping For Now

By avi maxwel / in , , , , , , , /

The life of a Hollywood actor is strange and paradoxical at times. They walk the red carpet in their fanciest designer gown one week — and the next, they’re miles away from the hustle and bustle of the LA circuit, perhaps at home in a pair of sweats. Sophie Nélisse, who stars as the younger version of Melanie Lynskey’s Shauna in the hit Showtime series Yellowjackets, can relate to this dichotomy. The actor recently participated in press junkets to celebrate Season 2 of her hit show, which is streaming now, but in between her work travels to LA, she calls Montreal, Canada her home.

Nélisse says when she’s away from the glitzy shine of Hollywood, she re-centers herself. “I’ve just been spending time with my family, working around the house, and getting back into my natural everyday life at home,” she tells TZR. “I’ve debated moving to LA (permanently). I’m still debating, but there’s just something about it that scares me. All my friends and family (are in Montreal). I also feel like my self-esteem would drop a little if I were to move to LA. It’s just a different world out here.”

The ultimate style guide to men’s spring fashion 2023

By avi maxwel / in , , , , , /

This article is part of Spring Fashion Month, where we’re breaking down your must-have fashion pieces for the next few months. From denim jackets to comfy sandals, we’re asking editors, influencers and experts about the go-to pieces they wear through spring and beyond.

With new seasons comes the opportunity for a fresh start. Whether you’re planning to get some deep cleaning done or set new goals for yourself, spring is the perfect time to take a step back and take a closer look at the things in our life that we often set to autopilot, including your wardrobe.

“Spring is defined by new beginnings,” explains NYC-based art world professional Jack Nelson. “It’s a moment to reintroduce vibrancy and light into our days, and it’s an opportunity for us all to consider our personal redefinitions or our style evolutions.” Hazel Morley, Bonobos’ vice president of design, echoes this sentiment. “As the weather starts to thaw, it’s a great time to be more playful and add some color or a fun print into your wardrobe.”

“Take the time to properly evaluate what you can eliminate from the year prior and assess the new pieces you want (to) usher in,” explains
