☆ I left my $195,000 tech job to open a wine bar. I work 12-hour days and don't have health insurance, but I've never been happier.

Shanna Nasiri, 34, decided to leave her tech job when she no longer felt aligned with the work. Earlier this year, she opened a natural wine bar in Williamsburg called With Others. Nasiri said her prior tech work served her well as she became a bar owner. AdvertisementThis as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Shanna Nasiri, the 34-year-old owner of With Others, a natural wine bar in Brooklyn, New York. When I think about it now, it was pretty brazen to start a wine bar.

☆ Armani and Dior probed in Italy following worker exploitation claims
  + stars: | 2024-07-17 | by ( Hanna Ziady | Lauren Kent | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +3 min
London/Rome CNN —Italy’s competition authority is investigating whether Armani and Dior have misled consumers about their production processes, following reports that local companies in their supply chains pay workers too little and force them to work long hours. The firms are being investigated for possible “unlawful” conduct in the marketing and sale of clothes and accessories, in violation of Italy’s Consumer Code, it noted. Many mainstream fashion brands have long faced allegations of exploitative working conditions in their supply chains. The probe comes after Milan prosecutors accused several Chinese-owned firms in Italy, producing luxury goods for Dior and Armani, of systematically abusing their employees, Reuters reported. Armani has denied the allegations levied by the competition authority, but said it would cooperate with the latest investigation.

☆ 36 Hours in Marrakesh, Morocco
  + stars: | 2024-02-08 | by ( Seth Sherwood | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +4 min
Leave Jemaa el Fna — the huge, chaotic, carnivalesque marketplace seen on every postcard — to the cobra charmers, hustlers and package-tour throngs. In the early 20th century, Thami el Glaoui, the onetime ruler of Marrakesh — known as the bacha in local Arabic — was a legend. The Islamic decorative arts find dazzling expression inside the Medersa Ben Youssef, a centuries-old religious school adorned with some of the finest craftsmanship in Morocco. Follow the buttery scent of leather to a passage called Derb el Hammam in Souk Smata, the leatherworking area of the medina. Sunlight filters through the overhead slats of the stalls, illuminating belts, bags, jackets, ottomans and slippers known as babouches — a favorite Morocco souvenir (prepare to haggle).

Haute couture is a celebration of artisanship — and one-upmanship — as the world’s top fashion houses gather in Paris to compete with one another and show off new designs. So, too, with the celebrities and socialites on the front row, who also have something to sell — movies, music, reality television, cosmetics. The season this week has been no exception, as a constellation of stars in some seriously flashy wares descended on the runway shows. Here is what — and who — was there. Jennifer Lopez was everywhere.

☆ He makes the best baguette in Paris, but he’s not French
  + stars: | 2023-05-16 | by ( Oliver Briscoe | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +4 min
Paris CNN —The humble baguette is the epitome of French baking. The perfect loaf, delicately crusty outside, soft and airy inside, is worth the airfare to Paris all on its own. For the contest, bakers are judged specifically on their “baguette de tradition,” a designation that differentiates good-quality loaves from industrially made rivals. Polski is a veteran of the Paris contest, having presided over it for almost a decade. There is not one neighborhood today without fresh bread, Polski says.
☆ The best of Milan Design Week 2023
  + stars: | 2023-04-27 | by ( Marianna Cerini | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +8 min
Milan CNN —The design world’s largest annual fair enjoyed a return to full pre-pandemic form with its 2023 showcase, transforming the city of Milan with hundreds of exhibitions, site-specific installations, pop-ups and public projects. Almost everywhere, the focus was on sustainable design, circular economy, material innovation and artistry combining craft with innovation. Some of the most interesting ideas were those that looked at waste – literally – to rethink what design can do when it uses what is already there. Shown in various stages of decomposition, the chair challenged viewers to approach products with the end of their lifecycle in mind.
