Knot work built into both the clothing and accessories.

Christopher Bailey was not the most gifted showman. He often reached for tired/tacky signals of glamor. But his Burberry S/S 2010 is still a guilty pleasure. The knotted and twisted pastels offered a youthful touch.

That's for hiding others' checks. But can you hide your own check?

I bet you Miuccia makes him punch in every morning.

Literally no one knows. Left very abruptly.

🤤🤤

hate that Twitter removed the option to hide the blue check.

Randomly found this on Amazon, just casually priced at $75,000. Free shipping though.

AF Vandevorst made actual brown PAPER look this beautiful. S/S 2004. Something so mundane turned into graceful, vulnerable clothes. When I tell you there’s no such thing as a bad AF Vandevorst collection, I mean it.

EXHAUSTED

And it's all packaged as "reinterpretations" and "homages" when it's just lazy self-indulgent pastiche.

talks to potentially renew Alessandro Michele's contract at Valentino have apparently begun (current one expires in March 2027)

It's never been the same ever since.

A fully realized world - right down to the details.

Hermès really lost an asset when Jean Paul Gaultier left. He didn't just dress the Hermès woman - he imagined her entire world: travel, sport, adventure, seduction, leisure. All with his signature kitsch and wit. Hermès S/S 2010

The world is awful. We were all made to be loved💙

It also does a disservice to women whose work is genuinely exceptional. Taking women's work seriously is a great way of recognizing their creative agency.

Female underrepresentation in fashion matters. But it doesn't shield female designers from criticism. Critics aren't obligated to address the industry's gender inequality before they're allowed to judge creative work. Making that a prerequisite is moral gatekeeping.
