Nothing is certain right now, except for the unequivocal fact that we’re in a crisis. It seems that at every volume and frequency there’s talk of some kind of destruction, be it of the viral, economic, or psychological sort as the pandemic squeezes in on every aspect of our lives. With so much seemingly circling […]
Sometimes Papa Mendes and I can’t control ourselves, and things … happen. Since we have some heavier Content (with a big “c,” yes) coming up, I wanted to pop on today with something silly, straight from the heart, and that has little to do with fashion other than the fact that I’m wearing incredible sherpa […]
If you want to dive deep into a web of thought experiments on fashion after coronavirus, I have a resource for you. It’s one that made me voluntarily, happily, even, wake up before dawn every day this week to study, and that I am linking here so that you don’t have to. Ready? There is […]
We’re all doing our best to shelter-in-place and keep ourselves and each other safe, and life can feel surreal nowadays – strangely rocky, but also so still. Sometimes it feels like the world is in stop-motion, pausing unpredictably before lurching forward in tiny, almost imperceptible bursts, doesn’t it? Things have slowed down here at the […]
I’m not one for celebrity gossip, but hear me out: sometimes joy comes from unexpected places, yes? Such as the pop culture/high fashion/ eco-friendly-fetishwear-turned-trend trifecta of Balmain, latex, and the Kardashians, a prime example of when the whole is greater than the some of its parts. Let me back up a smidge. For New Years’ […]
How’s everyone holding up? We’re truly in unchartered territory with the COVID-19 pandemic (I mean, how many people remember the Spanish Flu?), and each of us is bound to be affected in different ways, economic, emotional, and otherwise. Being that so many of us have more time than usual to get lost in social media, […]
That’s right, we’re back with another edition of “I Double F-ing Dare You,” where my sister finds the most ridiculous clothes possible and dares me to style, photograph, and post them. Post them, like, in public, where my friends, exes, family, coworkers, future children, etc can see them. After all, I’ve learned to take life […]
Storytelling is a bit of a buzzword nowadays, both in the fashion industry and among social media moguls, and for good reason. It is arguably one of the defining features of humanity, after all – name a culture that doesn’t have a rich narrative history. For me, that’s ultimately the reason why I love fashion […]
I used to think that whimsical embroidery was an embellishment of the school librarian. You know, the stern but kind lady with drawn-on eyebrows (I should talk), a pack of sugar-free Trident in her pocket, tissues up her sleeve, and a collection of tapestry purses her grandkids bought her at the National Geographic gift shop? […]
I really want to jealously guard this find, like, really. It’s actually how I feel about Portugal in general – it’s so precious, so humble, and so beautiful that you don’t want to share it in fear that you’ll ruin it (much like wearing a perfect white t shirt, no?). But I can’t take credit […]
