Happy Fourth of July weekend, everyone! Before we get to celebrating (SAFELY – maybe a Zoom bbq?), honor our Founding Fathers by smashing the patriarchy, shall we? A few weeks ago, I posted on how to hold brands accountable for diversity and inclusion and about Revolve’s diversity problem. In those posts, I included templates to […]
Anna Wintour – the American Vogue Editor-in-Chief whose empire has marched countless fashion minions into the formation of her choosing. A woman named so aptly, given her famously frosty demeanor, that she has become a caricature of herself. Wintour’s power lies in her ability to walk a fine line between the avant-garde and the widely […]
I shop a LOT at Revolve. You can close your eyes and point at a product and I’d wear it. That said, over the years there have been questions about diversity and inclusion at the brand – from influencer retreats to corporate leadership positions. It seemed, frankly, whitewashed. In January of 2018, Essence published this […]
Hey – I wrote this because I couldn’t find a guide on how to hold brands accountable and frankly, I needed a guide. So I did the best DIY I could, but I have blind spots! Please send me any info, suggestions, corrections so we can make this post the BEST it can be! This […]

Chrissy Rutherford is a contributing editor over at Harper’s Bazaar, and the other day she posted a video both to her personal Instagram and to the Bazaar page in response to the rage and pain at racial injustice across the country. The current climate has demanded more and more people to acknowledge what has been […]
The doldrums of pandemic living have, we’ve known for awhile now, brought upon the fashion industry a time of heartfelt self-reflection (see the last post for a prime example). It was unclear, though, if talk of addressing issues like sustainability and designer burnout were just the fantastical musings of creatives with a lot of time […]
A short post to start a short week: Gucci’s Creative Director, Alessandro Michele, has been posting the most vividly intimate notes on the Gucci Instagram account about fashion, creation, and humanity in the time of a pandemic. Building on our discussion of how fashion has been, and will continue to, change in light of COVID-10 […]
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 […]
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 […]
