Growing up, Ramadan wasn’t remotely a commercial concept in the West let alone brands or general cultural institutions wanting to double down on it and give it space and recognition.

Times have changed a little, and while many have latched onto the holy month as a retail opportunity or capitalizing moment, in this story I was lucky to be able to speak with people @nathaliemroue @nishajag @fahedghanim #taquamalik who embodied and explained that there’s still some way to go for companies to realize Ramadan isn’t Christmas or a regular holiday period, it’s a time of reflection, introspection and community.

Superficial nods don’t cut it anymore and if one is to truly gain the loyalty of the appx 2 billion Muslims on the planet, thinking of speaking and catering to them once a year and only in one region as a cash grab, just isn’t enough. People aren’t celebrating Ramadan just in the Arab world but across South Asia, Indonesia, East Asia and diasporas around the world.

To paraphrase what the the lovely @ayeshaerkin told me - We’re not Muslim once a year but the whole 365 days. Brands, companies and culture need to measure up to that reality and rhythm 💕✨

Ramadan Mubarak, folks.

I started on this story in the summer and couldn’t be more excited for it to be out in the world as the year wraps up.

I have special place for the journey working on this one; for which I had the privilege of getting the most immersive education in the deep history of the jewellery trade across the Middle East, from Lebanon to Egypt, Kuwait to Saudi Arabia and the UAE; speaking with pioneers in the field, bonafide trailblazers, and the youngest generation exporting the region’s craft to the world through sharp innovation and a distinct playfulness.

I can’t emphasize how heartening it was to report, learn and write about the long overdue recognition of the rich heritage of this intricate craft in the Arab world, now being worn by people the world over!

A big thank you to everyone who spoke to me for this and for their patience in it coming to life after months of unforeseen obstructions and a busy news cycle .. @by_couture @rgarrahan @katsbling Nader Jaber, @katerina_perez @michelleorman and of course the incredible, welcoming and warm designers across the board @mouawad @adialfardanjewellery @azzafahmy @fatmaghaly @selimmouzannar @nadaghazaljewelry @lateliernawbar @nadkanso @bilarabi @ralphmasri @jude.benhalim @ascherjewelry @joellekharrat @noorashawqi ✨⭐️💎🙏🏼

Thrilled to play a small part in sharing and highlighting the story of these incomparably dedicated creatives.

@climaterightsintl came out with two investigations this year documenting the debilitating impacts of extreme heat on garment workers inside factories in Dhaka and Karachi.

“Sometimes my vision becomes blurry. I have felt dizzy many times,” Muhammad Hunain, a textile mill worker in Karachi, told CRI. “There have been moments when I felt like I might faint, but stopping work is not an option. If I sit down or slow down too much, the supervisors scold us, and the contractor can cut our wages.”

On Dec 8, the International accord, the only legally binding workplace safety agreement between 282 global brands and suppliers founded after the Rana Plaza tragedy in Dhaka, announced it will be adding heat stress as a key pillar in its mandate.

It’s only the start but as lead researcher on the CRI reports Cara Schulte told me, “it’s really rare that you see corporate interests aligned with labor rights interests. So in fashion it feels like there’s a real opportunity for change… because if workers are suffering, production will also slow down.”

A dream and blessing to work on this exclusive story about the rise of @kotn that’s celebrating 10 years this year!

Proof that fostering connection through fashion and being mission-led can reach great heights. While this is a story about growth it’s also one about human endeavor and giving back to communities we rely on.

In rural Egypt, Kotn has now employed more than 5,000 cotton farms and funded 23 schools.

A resonant time with CEO and co-founder Rami Helali, Mabrouk!

“There’s an invisible thread that ties us together,” said Helali. “Ultimately at Kotn, and more broadly as we expand into hospitality, we want to build spaces where people want to belong.”

Excited for all that is to come as the brand grows next year to Europe and the Middle East, and creates space for more diasporic and Global South creatives to practice, showcase and hone their craft.

“The brand ….turned to spotlighting third-culture figures. This included the likes of … comedian Zainab Johnson, Lebanese-American stand-up comic Emil Wakim and content creators such as New York’s Kareem Rahma and London’s Nadir Nahdi, who grew up navigating multiple cultural identities and diasporas — naturally embodying the brand’s East-meets-West sensibility.” ⭐️

As COP30 gets underway in Belém, a port city on the edge of the Brazilian rainforest, the mood is sober. A decade after the Paris Agreement was adopted internationally to limit global warming, many of the world’s largest fashion companies have fallen short on emissions cuts — and some are moving in the wrong direction, emitting pollutants at an even higher rate than in previous years.

In this episode of The Debrief, senior correspondent Sheena Butler-Young and executive editor Brian Baskin are joined by BoF reporters, Sarah Kent and Shayeza Walid, to examine why progress has stalled, how fast-fashion growth is reshaping the landscape, and what practical steps — from decarbonising supply chains to adapting factories to extreme heat — are needed next.

In late August, the US doubled duties on Indian goods to 50 percent, in what President Donald Trump described as a punishment for India’s purchases of Russian oil. Brandsreacted immediately, postponing or cancelling orders and leaving factories in hubs like Tiruppur and Bengaluru half-filled. With shifts cut and workers laid off, the shock ricocheted through India’s export economy, exposing how little protection garment workers have while relief talks and trade diplomacy drag on.
