#670 | What does it mean to be truly authentic today?
There’s really no good working definition for authenticity. It’s one of those slippery words that can mean just about anything, and as a result, often ends up meaning nothing at all. Rampant overuse (and egregious misuse) has rendered it all but meaningless, and yet we can’t quite seem to quit it. Add a liberal use by politicians, media and brands and what was once a word of great significance has now lost all authenticity. As our next DIRTY WORD, we'd love to know what does it mean to be truly authentic today?

Digital Fashion: HOT:SECOND
HOT:SECOND is a world first circular economy concept store trading physical goods for digital experiences. Founder Karinna Nobbs has collaborated with innovation studio Holition and 3D artist Emily Spitzer to allow you to immersively experience digital fashion garments from pioneering brands including The Fabricant, Carlings and Christopher Raeburn. The purpose of the experience is to challenge the notion of clothing ownership and the “currency” of the store is the donation of an unwanted physical garment (the target is to “save” 500 pieces of clothing from landfill during the 4 days).
