Fashion industry is one of the prominent industries in the world with critical negative impacts on the social and ecological environments. It constitutes a very complex and fragmented industry. The currently dominant model of "fast fashion," fulfills the desires of consumers who aspire to wear luxury fashion brands but cannot afford them, by offering them similar styles at affordable prices. However, the main principles of fast fashion, which are speed, affordability, change, disposable trends and aesthetic fads, contradict with sustainability goals and principles. Luxury fashion, on the other hand, emphasizes longevity, durability, authenticity, craftsmanship and quality, and can therefore be better associated with sustainability. Hence, it is important to discuss if luxury fashion brands and retailers are more likely to foster the values of sustainability and thereby initiate change towards a more sustainable fashion system. In this regard, this conceptual paper examines the relationship between fashion and sustainability and assesses how the values of luxury fashion align and or contradict with sustainability. Luxury fashion brands can overcome some of the problems that fast fashion creates. On the other hand, there are some challenges and skepticism about luxury fashion and sustainability relationship. The paper reflects on these conflicts and evaluates the role of luxury fashion in development for a better and a more sustainable fashion system.

Design Thinking is a popular phrase especially for the last ten years penetrating into the discourse of management and design, business and academia in many ways. The contributions in the form of articles, commentaries and reviews in this MGDR Design Thinking Special Issue show us the examples, how and where we can use Design Thinking especially as an integral part of the design process. The area of design is expanding in diverse ways lately and sometimes it is causing the confusion such as Design Thinking is either a magical design tool, or another buzzword destined to go extinct after inevitable failures. We as the editors of this Special Issue do not have either totally negative, or totally positive opinions on Design Thinking. We just think we should organize the design process and use Design Thinking on it properly as a practical tool of guidance.

2018 Netflix movie Nappily Ever After voices the relationship of Black women with their natural hair and try to free them from the white beauty ideals imposed by the modern culture. By delving into historical connotations, this film review aims to understand how and why stereotypical narratives about AfricanAmerican beauty and hair exist in media and shows the societal and psychological consequences of underrepresentation.
