POWER DRESSING #005

first lady faux pas, what's in candace owens's closet, and elon musk has fashion opinions nobody asked for

Happy Monday all! I hope you guys had a great weekend and start of the day unlike me, who was in the Lariboisière Hospital all morning. I thought I was dying but really I just needed to drink some water, so happy for that, really didn’t want to miss the Substack Christmas party tomorrow. Anyways this newsletter was supposed to go out last week but ADHD kicked in and voila here we are, so welcome back to POWER DRESSING where I dissect, discuss, analyze, and report on fashion as it pertains to politics and politicians and the people that orbit them. Let’s begin!

France’s First Lady, Brigitte Macron, their longtime unofficial poster girl (she’s basically Dior’s walking billboard at every state event), was seen dragging around the new-ish Dior Toujours bag, a $3,500+ quilted calfskin “forever” tote in a leaked backstage video from the Folies Bergère that had her laughing and calling feminist protesters “sales connes” (translation: stupid bitches).
