Walk Gently

Arc’teryx is collaborating with Indigenous designers on a new collection that blends native art with technical fabrics.

The first collection features Indigenous motifs from Salish culture and incorporates traditional Coast Salish wool-weaving techniques.

By collaborating directly with underrepresented artists, clothing companies can steer clear of cultural appropriation while finding rich inspiration.

Unschooling

A new trend called “unschooling” is encouraging parents to ditch standard curriculum and instead teach kids whatever they’re curious about.

The unconventional approach is stirring up controversy on TikTok, with critics saying it ignores research on effective education techniques.

Debates aside, the unschooling trend reflects a growing dissatisfaction with traditional education as parents seek something less rigid.

Piece by Piece

“Piece by Piece,” a new biopic about Pharrell Williams, is brought to life entirely through Lego bricks.

 The emotional film was co-produced by The Lego Group, and comes a decade after The Lego Movie made almost $500m (£380m) at the box office.

As the lines between adult and kid entertainment blur, lighthearted aesthetics can make heavy topics feel more approachable.
