Finally, someone said it. The way fashion commentary tries to turn collections into a philosophy thesis is exhausting. Not every tucked-in shirt and awkward silhouette needs a manifesto. Thank you for cutting through the noise
Loved this! I've always struggled to get into fashion bc a lot of the writing sounds like mumbo jumbo bullshit (and I don't like being gaslit into thinking that these ugly ass expensive clothes aren't ugly). Also love this bar -" Is this genuine? Or am I just performing “fashion person” again for the algorithm?"
Yes! This bit: “fashion criticism… stopped being about cut, fabric, or silhouette and became a kind of emotional cosplay where instead of reviewing the clothes, you projected onto them”

Your writing: très élégant 😎🍀
Incredibly well written. Can't wait for the response saying that 'fashion criticism and literacy is dying etc etc'
Beautifully and brilliantly stated - precisely why I enjoy your work! Your literary stylings speak volumes; and I don’t follow fashion!

You are the answer to everything.... Within you lies the power, unrealized, unmanifest, with great potential...
Scary is the fact that many read this and relate. Talk about out of touch with reality .
Excellent, as per. I don't mind a bit of fashion commentary, but even I was repulsed by this one.
(*whispers* plus there was better outerwear elsewhere, if we do want to argue it)
