Reimagining Editorials in COVID Times

Julien Tell

As states begin to open up and we make our way into the world, thinking about fashion is a trip. How do I even begin to wear real clothes again when I live in the same leggings three days in a row? Is there a correlation between your outfit and the face mask you are wearing? These are questions I never thought I’d ask myself. [High Snobiety]’s photographer [Julien Tell] spent part of his quarantine capturing what the new normal could be like in Berlin and ultimately the rest of the world. Since we’ve already been living this, it doesn’t feel that jarring does it?

Crayola’s Skin Tone Box

In what will be their most inclusive release yet, Crayola is releasing a box dedicated entirely to skin tones. Announced by Crayola, the box is for children to “accurately color themselves into the world.” The pack, called “Colors of the World,” will include 24 new crayons.

“With the world growing more diverse than ever before, Crayola hopes our new Colors of the World crayons will increase representation and foster a greater sense of belonging and acceptance. We want the new Colors of the World crayons to advance inclusion within creativity and impact how kids express themselves.”

The new crayons will be released this coming July, but you can begin preorders [here.] I really love the messaging behind this release. As a child with my crayons, this was always something that was challenging for me.

Blog Roundup

Before this year, I didn’t know that May was Asian and Pacific Islander American Heritage month. While it has been a slow journey for me to become more acquainted with my culture and history, I know now I can appreciate this much more at my age. I think some of this has to do with the environment I grew up in and not having that kind of community until after graduating college and starting my career. Without even knowing how special this month was, we got into Korean drama all on our own and started to read and watch pieces that were all tied to the celebration of this month. By no means do I think that means I’ve done all the work that there is, but I’m excited to continue educating myself. I’ve really been enjoying this and have shared a majority of them here with you all!
