Fashion brands can form a unique relationship with their customers by launching a magazine, if they are able to find the right mix of content, voice and purpose. A new report from the world's top climate scientists says global warming will hit 1.5 degrees Celsius by 2040. The Alibaba-backed, Turkish e-commerce company Trendyol raised $1.5 billion, valuing it at $16.5 billion.
