WorkWorkPity the superstar fashion designer - The Economist A giant BIRDCAGE held models wearing Chanel’s latest clothes at its show for Paris fashion week on October 1st. The exhibit in the Grand Palais had all the hallmarks of the 114-year-old fashion house: sophistication, skirt suits and even a little black dress.

WorkWhy Plastic Waste Is a C-Suite Issue - Harvard Business Review Plastic waste is a C-suite issue because plastic is more pervasive across our global economy than just about any other manufactured substance, and the waste from single-use plastic packaging alone represents $100 billion of economic value.
