“..so much clothing over the past decade has been flat for optimal Instagramming.. social media driving how people dress.” Urgh.. “..offering lightness/flexibility/pleasure without the dowdy compromise of quiet luxury:confident clothes for intelligent living.”My very sentiments!
On Chanel: "What Blazy produced Monday were the first genuinely post-Instagram clothes....These are not clothes for a woman who gets dressed to take a picture of herself. They have much more respect for her life than that" gift link! wapo.st/3KAVDeV

“Then Michele showed dumb pencil skirts with pussy-bow blouses.” Oof. Scathing.

It’s come to my attn that Ben Smith said on his podcast I “sold out by joining mainstream media” - bizarre & incorrect. Since 2013 I’ve been employed full time (VF, Vice, GQ, Bazaar & now The Post). I love media institutions & that’s essential to my work, including Opulent Tips

In an age of corporate-approved same same bland fashion brand after brand after brand appealing to the masses, Prada does what it always does best in changing their consumers’ attitudes towards dress, and no one dissects it better than Rachel in this review
