Home-grown activewear brand The Giving Movement has teamed up with global online retailer Yoox to launch a capsule collection themed around self-love.

Exclusively available on Yoox, the collection includes 14 pieces for men, women and children, spanning sportswear and streetwear. In keeping with The Giving Movement’s brand ethos, the collection aims to be completely inclusive, in terms of gender, sizing and age. The phrase "love yourself first" features on many of the pieces.

In addition, there is a modest line focusing on long, opaque garments such as maxi tunics, oversized shirts, trousers and veils The Giving Movement has produced for the first time. The theme of this line is freedom in all its forms, whether freedom of movement or freedom of expression.

"The partnership with The Giving Movement reinforces Yoox's global approach and its core values of inclusivity. With the arrival of modestwear on our site, we want to make all our customers around the world feel comfortable, without any distinction,” says Manuela Strippoli, Yoox’s brand and communication director.

All of the pieces have been produced using sustainable processes and carry OEKO-TEX Standard 100, Global Recycled Standard and Global Organic Textile Standard certification. All are made from in-house fabrics, which include organic, ethically-sourced cotton, 100 per cent recycled polyester, recycled plastic bottles and recycled spandex.

Everything is sourced locally in the UAE, from supply to production, allowing the brand to decrease its carbon emissions and contribute to the local and regional economy.

The Giving Movement launched in April 2020, with the philosophy “small acts multiplied by many can transform the world”. As such, for every item it sells, the label donates $4 to charity, enough to cover the basic needs, including food, shelter and water, of one child for a week.

“Conscious consumerism is a global initiative and a collaboration exclusive to Yoox is a beautiful opportunity to come together and make an even larger impact. The Giving Movement’s story is proof of power in numbers, donating $4 with each item purchased and being on the cusp of crossing $2 million in donations,” says Layal Akouri, chief executive of The Giving Movement.

The burning issue

The internal combustion engine is facing a watershed moment – major manufacturer Volvo is to stop producing petroleum-powered vehicles by 2021 and countries in Europe, including the UK, have vowed to ban their sale before 2040. The National takes a look at the story of one of the most successful technologies of the last 100 years and how it has impacted life in the UAE.

Three ways to limit your social media use

Clinical psychologist, Dr Saliha Afridi at The Lighthouse Arabia suggests three easy things you can do every day to cut back on the time you spend online.

1. Put the social media app in a folder on the second or third screen of your phone so it has to remain a conscious decision to open, rather than something your fingers gravitate towards without consideration.

2. Schedule a time to use social media instead of consistently throughout the day. I recommend setting aside certain times of the day or week when you upload pictures or share information. 

3. Take a mental snapshot rather than a photo on your phone. Instead of sharing it with your social world, try to absorb the moment, connect with your feeling, experience the moment with all five of your senses. You will have a memory of that moment more vividly and for far longer than if you take a picture of it.
