But in this pandemic-prompted, dog-year-style acceleration weâre living through, she reckons itâs been longer: âIf youâre spending lockdown with somebody, itâs like youâre together for triple the time.â Throngs of other pandemic-era loves have matched this paceâa 2020 trend dubbed the âturbo relationship.â âIt was like we pressed fast-forward,â Getty says. âBut it didnât feel rushed.â Still, when Engel proposed last summer, at a restaurant in Capri, Getty was taken aback.

Upcycling in fashion terms means reusing and reviving clothes and textiles by turning them into new garments.

Welcome to

Even Gen Z is on board.
