Do fashion weeks drive real sustainable change?
The foundational idea of Fashion Weeks is inherently consumerist, but from my perspective, when a fashion label talks about sustainability, I can tell when it's BS and when it's not. When some brands say they're going to be more sustainable, it's the definition of greenwashing. But then there are some brands that are really dedicated to sustainability, using ethical business practices, sustainable fabrics, shipping operations that offset emissions, and other positive moves.

There are also a lot of small designers who get a platform and recognition from events at Fashion Weeks, so I think that is great, and it does have a lot of cultural significance. At the end of the day, fashion does exist in a globalized capitalist economy, so it's up to us as consumers to give those brands our money and our attention, instead of the brands that are greenwashing or aren't doing anything whatsoever.
How to be effortlessly cool
I related to your comment myself, because I feel like I used to be more basic in my school days, and I've really broken out of that as an adult. And developing personal style is one of the best ways to be effortlessly cool. It's something I've found, and that continues to evolve.

One of the big things I've done to cultivate my style? I do not mindlessly make purchases. If you're super conscious and picky about what you buy, then you'll only have belongings that you really like, which is a very big step to feeling effortlessly cool. I think that this idea goes hand in hand with having confidence in what you like and promoting self-expression through your clothes.

Second, I would say to try to cultivate a wardrobe that goes together and looks good. You can figure out what silhouettes work for you and work for your body, and then you can create repetition with them. You'll feel confident, and then by continuing to mimic that pattern throughout your wardrobe, your clothes will be in sync with each other.
