What can I say… 2020 is feeling more and more like a season of Black Mirror, with each new month akin to a new episode, complete with a new natural, social or political horror.

I’m currently on day six of the global, pandemic-certified, Covid-19 quarantine. I live in NYC where, currently, social-distancing is not only encouraged, it is largely enforced through the closure of almost all non-essential commerce. I’m only human (and a Taurus at that), so naturally, I spent the first few days sleeping in, binge-watching Netflix, scrolling […] READ MORE

ON DREAMS & REALITY: MUSINGS OF A FASHION INTERNAug 22, 2019

I had arrived. I was living in Paris – magical Paris – completing a master’s degree at one of the best fashion schools in the world and I had just been hired as an intern at a haute couture showroom during Paris Fashion Week.

SWEET & SOUR: THOM BROWNE SPRING 2019 TASTES LIKE SUMMERFeb 27, 2019

Much like McQueen and Galliano in the late 90s, Thom Browne has proven himself to be a contemporary master of the spectacle with his intricate runway extravaganzas often walking the line between fantasy and horror. The Spring 2019 show transformed the Tennis Club de Paris into a bizarre seaside fairytale that at first glance seemed […] READ MORE

VIRGIL ABLOH x LOUIS VUITTONJun 24, 2018

Due to good fortune, I was in the right place at the right time and scored an invitation to the Louis Vuitton Menswear Spring/Summer 2019 fashion show in Paris – featuring the first collection by Virgil Abloh as creative director. However polarising the views on Abloh’s appointment, it speaks volumes about the current state of […] READ MORE

DIOR: COUTURIER DU RÊVEAug 31, 2017

So I live in Paris now. Oh, how unreal that statement still feels. I am not quite sure that I will ever be able to say those words without feeling a certain thrill. I will be spending the next two years studying towards a masters degree in fashion studies from Parsons The New School. This […] READ MORE

AN EMBROIDERY STORYJul 13, 2017

It is on everything. You can hardly turn your head without spotting an embroidered satin bomber, leather handbag or velvet bootie. I suppose you could call it “the Gucci effect”, and blame the current embroidery overload on Alessandro Michele’s eclectic, magpie touch. There is no doubt that the Italian luxury house has heavily influenced the resurgence of […] READ MORE
