The return of the Von Dutch hat has triggered a resurgence of the trucker hat. It seems like everywhere you turn you see people donning them on the street, Instagram and TikTok — clearly, we all love nostalgia. For many of us, it takes us back to the early Aughts and watching our favorite celebrities, such as Britney Spears, Beyoncé, Paris Hilton and Nicole Ritchie, on TRL or in the latest issue of Seventeen or J-14 magazine. Luckily for those of us who are fans of Aughts fashion, trends tend to come back around every few years. Here, WWD has rounded up our favorite trucker hats. 1.

In 2003, De Beers and other diamond producers partnered with the U.N. to establish the Kimberley Process, which the organization ...

While the pandemic drove double-digit online sales last year, and continues to fuel e-commerce growth this year, the online shopping boom is fraught with serious ecological issues — which include inventory hiccups, a strained and inefficient supply chain, and fulfillment challenges that generate waste and emit excess carbon emissions. And perhaps most damaging to the environment is a staggering number of product returns, which often ends up in landfills.
