Women Reveal Why They Wore Wedding Suits & Now I Want To Wear One
by Rachael Shatto
Elite Daily

There’s no question that tradition plays a big role in modern weddings — from the dress, to the cake, to something borrowed and something blue. It can be really helpful to have some idea of what is expected when you’re taking on the potentially…

But a few years ago he began to feel something was missing in his life: that serving fancy food to international foodies wasn't enough.
So, like other celebrity chefs, he began to think about helping the poor, by feeding them.
Lara Gilmore: This is late 2013. We had just sort of-- one year into having our 3rd Michelin star. We had worked 20 years to get. And I'm thinking, "Now you want to start doing this?" I thought it was a terrible idea.
But, she relented and helped him open a number of what he calls refettorios – kind of souped up soup kitchens. But he didn't want them to feel like down-and-out, stand-in-line cafeterias.

So, partnering with local charities, he created warm, inviting dining rooms in old abandoned theaters or unused space in churches where the working poor and homeless Italians and refugees from Africa sit side-by-side with volunteers who serve them three-course meals like in high-quality restaurants.
The food, donated by local grocery stores, would've been thrown out because it's slightly-damaged or near its sell-by date.
Lesley Stahl: Where did that inspiration come from?
Massimo Bottura: The numbers are math. Numbers: 33 percent of the world production are wasted every year. 1.3 billion tons of food is wasted every year. You know, think about one trillion of apples goes in the gab-- garbage. Think about how many, you know, apple pie you could create with those trillions of, you know. That's insane!
The man who has, for decades, insisted on the oldest balsamic, the finest parmigiano, the freshest tomatoes now realizes there's salvation in discarded leftovers. If cooked well they can nourish the poor, as he says: by filling their stomachs and lifting their spirits.
And his as well.
Massimo Bottura: It's absolutely necessary to give back some of the lucky life you're living. So this is about giving back. It's what we need.

Fashion That Fits
Erin Cavanaugh, BA’00 Creighton Graduate
Sixty-seven percent of American women wear a size 14, a number that nears the top of the size charts at most stores. A couple of plus-size retail giants exist, but the clothing options remain limited for much of the female population.

Erin Cavanaugh, BA’00, is creating another option for these women with her budding plus-size fashion brand, See Rose Go, in New York City.

“We found a white space out there that the fashion industry in not addressing,” says Cavanaugh, who, with her partner, Yi Zhou, formed the brand nearly two years ago. “We knew we could be change agents and instigate change within the industry.”

An artist throughout her childhood in Northern California, Cavanaugh decided on Creighton for her undergrad degree, in part, to fulfill her curiosity. Her sister, Elizabeth Cavanaugh, graduated in 1995, but it was the recruiting by other California alumni that pushed her to “yes.”

“I kept getting calls, and I was wondering,” she says, “there must be something about this school. And I’m glad I did [attend]. Through that connection I met my husband, made good friends, got a great education.”

In 2000, with her just-earned degree in interpersonal communications and fine arts, Cavanaugh launched her fashion career on the East Coast. Intent on being a buyer, a position she says “could combine my education; my left brain and right brain,” she found the right fit at Nordstrom. She worked her way up, starting on the sales floor and taking classes in the company’s management training program.

A statement from the training book still resonates. “‘Use good judgement.’ And that was really empowering,” she says. “For me going through my Catholic, Jesuit education, where you’re respecting where people are coming from and who they are, that worked for me. They set me up to look at my career holistically. Looking at how you want to be treated and how you want to treat people.”

Later, she left Nordstrom in Washington, D.C., for Converse in New York City, most recently working as the global merchandising director for women’s product.

That consumer-focused attitude is the backbone of her career. While working at Converse, Cavanaugh’s close bond with the design director blossomed into plans to start their own fashion brand. “But we knew that you don’t want to create more white noise,” she says. “You want something of value and offer a solution to the world.”

During a coffee date when a mutual friend, who wears a size 16, expressed her shopping woes, Cavanaugh and Zhou knew they were facing a problem, but one they could help solve with their professional experience in design, merchandising and customer service.

“Our friend was like, ‘You have no idea what it’s like to shop for me,’” says Cavanaugh. “It led us down this really emotional conversation.”

It was the catalyst to more conversations with other women. Cavanaugh asked one woman where she shops, and her response, “Where do I shop? Or where do I want to shop?” made an impact.

“We found that women were settling for good enough, which was not good enough,” she says.

In focus groups and one-on-one conversations with hundreds of women, they noticed a commonality: Women balance multiple roles in their lives. They want clothes that fit their bodies and their lives—without disregarding style.

“We found ourselves cheering for these women and really impressed by them. It became a rally cry,” says Cavanaugh. “Wow, look at these women go.”

See Rose Go, launched in 2016, unites style with comfort in a line of plus-size clothing, including a trademarked collection called CoolRose, clothes crafted from a blend of cooling fiber and cotton knit. Each piece of the brand—from a coat to a cardigan—is intentionally designed to make each woman feel her best. From comfort, comes confidence.

“Being in fashion is a humbling thing. You’re not saving lives or creating cures,” says Cavanaugh. “But when you look at what it means for someone when they can find something that makes them feel great and confident and they can go out and achieve what they want to do, that can be life-changing for them.”

NEW YORKER REVIEW

The cover for "In Intimate Detail" shows black lace lingerie.
“In Intimate Detail,” An Instructive Ode to Underwear
The other day, I spent longer than I’d like to admit staring into a mirror, trying to determine the shape of my breasts. Splayed out on the table next to me was “In Intimate Detail,” a new book by the writer and blogger Cora Harrington, which promised to teach me how to “choose, wear, and love lingerie.” I already knew my bust size—years ago, in a West Village boutique, a kindly older woman with a satin measuring tape felt me up and told me that I had been wearing too-big cups all my life. But Harrington’s book insists that no two bosoms are alike. There are tuberous ones, pendulous ones, full-on-top ones, full-on-bottom ones, and globular full-all-around ones (often achieved through augmentation). There are narrowly spaced breasts, wide-set breasts, shallow breasts, and projected breasts. You must become familiar with your chest in order to fully support it.
Harrington, a thirty-four-year-old Seattle native now based in New York, has made a career demystifying the world of underthings on her Web site, the Lingerie Addict, where she writes with obsessive enthusiasm about the industry’s products and trends. “In Intimate Detail,” her first book, might also be the first of its kind, a sort of a Cook’s Illustrated of underwear, full of technical details and illustrated with simple watercolors instead of glossy photographs. The book taught me how to buy a garter belt, the difference between pantyhose and stockings, and a whole new glossary of terms for intimates (welt, waspie, tanga, center gore). This is niche knowledge, to be sure, but Harrington makes a convincing case that having a detailed understanding of what goes on our bodies can be a kind of political act. As a black woman who sometimes models lingerie for her site—in her own viral words on Twitter, she says she experiences "thin privilege," though she also says she doesn't conform to the waifish body type that most mainstream lingerie brands perpetuate—Harrington wants to make the world of underwear more capacious. "In Intimate Detail," which features sections on plus-size lingerie, how to wear a bra or a binder if you are genderqueer or transitioning, and tips for people living with chronic conditions such as fibromyalgia, feels radical in its easy inclusivity. “Living in a body is hard enough,” Harrington told me recently. “Lingerie should make that better, not worse.”

"Over the past 30 years I have explored various techniques in fabric design such as Batik, Shibori, and screen printing. I continue to be experimental in my work and I am grateful for having no shortage of inspiration. Currently, I have been exploring deconstructed screen process, natural dyeing, and mono-printing. I apply these techniques to my clothing design and ultimately strive to create unique, well-crafted, and hand-finished garments that are essential, sustainable and fundamental to one’s wardrobe."
