Paris Haute Couture Week 2026: A New Vision of Spectacle
Paris Haute Couture Week 2026 unfolded as a meditation on spectacle, not as excess, but as intention.

Quiet Luxury, Loud Prices: The Cracks in the Illusion
Think Succession’s Shiv Roy closing a deal in crisp Loro Piana, or Blair Waldorf adjusting her vintage Cartier headband en route to brunch on the Upper East Side.

Congrats, You’re Human. Can You Prove It?
What does it mean to be real in 2025? In the age of artificial intelligence—where mimicry has become both impressive and terrifying—the concept of being “real” is no longer philosophical.

Natural Isn’t Lazy, and You’re Not a Product (ft. Ozempic)
Introduction: How My Glow-Up Journey Turned Into a Capitalist Full-Time Job I’ve always been someone who genuinely valued self-care. Not the TikTok version with sea moss and aesthetic fridges — I mean actual care. I started working out at 15, before it was really a trend, before wellness was an industry. I worked out because…

Adolescence, Algorithms, and the Age of Digital Extremism: Are We Raising a Generation of Jamie Millers?
I had just finished Netflix’s hit series Adolescence, and I couldn’t shake the pit in my stomach. The final scene played over in my mind—not just because of its emotional weight, but because of how real it felt. Jamie Miller, a 13-year-old boy, commits an unthinkable act after descending into a world of online radicalization,…

Recommended to Death: How Online Culture Lost Its Spark
Lately, I’ve been feeling deeply uninspired by fashion, trends, and even shopping (hence the delay in publishing—apologies). I made it my mission to find at least one item that sparked some excitement. I scrolled endlessly through product recs, browsed every “must-have” list, hopped from trendy site to trendy site… and still, nothing. Everything looks the…

Doechii: The Best-Dressed Celebrity of Fashion Week and the Genius of Preppy Rap Aesthetics
Doechii has been eating the girls up all Fashion Week, and I have been obsessed—not just with her looks but with her whole energy. I first learned about Doechii through her hypnotic collaboration with SZA, “Persuasive,” in 2022. The track was intoxicating—dreamy yet defiant, smooth yet unpredictable. From that moment, it was clear that Doechii…

Familiar Faces, Forgettable Walks: Why Milan Fashion Week Left Me Wanting More
The Rise and Stagnation of the Nepo Models Nepotism in fashion is nothing new, but the spectacle of models born into fame and privilege gracing the world’s most prestigious runways has shifted from novelty to predictability.

The Age of Age Gap: Why Older Women-Younger Partner Stories are Having a Moment
I had just finished watching A24’s highly anticipated film Babygirl, and I have to say, I have thoughts. For a movie as hyped up as this one—especially coming from A24—I was expecting more than just mommy porn or a Wattpad fantasy.
