  • ep 61 - fall fashion 2025 things I am buying
    things i still want to buy in 2025fewer pieces, stronger ones is the overall approach:usable, worn hard, quietly rare; a slight avant-garde tilt. written like a confession and that starts to feel like a real plan to me.rick, finallyyyyy: the prong topi (here it is)I finally put my hands on the prong top. immediate posture shift. stretch-jersey that locks without strangling (IMPORTANT); a ruched core that pulls the eye to the bust; that unmistakable “prong” geometry up front so clean, almost architectural, held by internal structure so it doesn’t wilt after two wears xddddd matte surface. ive been into matte anything matte nails matte lips matte fabrics.anyways this top reads like minimal armor under a leather jacket or blazer - you choose - and becomes the whole thesis with a long skirt and boots JADOREEEE on the other hand my personal bag agenda is blurry:i’m still deciding between “forever workhorse” and “beautiful problem.” three directions keep looping.givenchy pandora: the bag that refuses to sit up straight. (here) introduced in 2009 under riccardo tisci, the pandora arrived when everything was boxy BUT polite; it chose to slouch on purpose. a cuboid that collapses—diagonal double zip, top handle, long strap—you carry it like you mean it. anatomical in the best way: seams where a body bends, leather that looks better beat-up. i want the medium in lived-in black (wrinkled), the kind that already speaks in past tense. it holds a day. it holds a camera. does it hold my computer tho?? comment below if you have nay experience with it whatsoever.prada, nappa + fringe (name a better combo) (here) movement is the point. prada’s nappa fringe lives where discipline meets drama (where miu miu meets prada almost - the who parts of miuccia's heart) the mid-2000s gave full-fringe top handles that turned cult, and the language keeps resurfacing: fringe slipping onto structured frames, fringe reprogramming “polite” shapes into something kinetic.celine phantom remembered + revised: the phantom (here) is a memory with wings. phoebe’s 2011 icon (well, one of them) with michael rider steering celine, certain codes feel re-tuned. early peeks suggest a phantom proportion-checked for now—cleaner, cooler, less noise, more presence. i’m hunting a sharp vintage phantom while i watch the refresh land. heritage in motion WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW perfume is part of the fitscent is styling. the air around you is part of the silhouette. i’m leaning darker this year: incense, lacquered wood, cold stone after rain. filippo sorcinelli keeps circling back: sacred craft translated to skin. loewe perfumes are an easy bet ALWAYS:the two I am mixing at the moment are the solo elixir (here) and agua (here)the open tab section: it’s admin. tabs, screenshots, notes: i dm sellers for corner photos—corners tell the truth. i check weight because my shoulder complains. i watch how it slumps on a chair. i look at zipper teeth, lining wear, hardware wobble. measurements count more than you think. if it solves the “i have nothing to wear” eight times out of ten, it stays; if it doesn’t, close tab and move on.FIND ME HERE https://www.instagram.com/chez.amelie also here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJyYw8NRueo&t=557s

  • ep. 60 - miley cyrus + margiela = the fanbase is BOILING
    margiela just did the unthinkable: a celebrity face. miley cyrus. shot by paolo roversi. it reads like a commercial until you actually look at the pictures. they’re stripped back, almost ascetic. not pop-star gloss—image as study. and the paint on her skin isn’t theatrics; it’s bianchetto, the maison’s white-overpaint usually reserved for shoes, bags, even furniture—applied so wear and time become part of the design. now it’s on a body. the star becomes ground primer surface. suddenly you’re reading line the curve of a tabi the geometry of a 5ac not “miley.”i respect miley; she’s one of the few who actually knows how to rebrand without begging for redemption arcs. she treats brand like a medium —build strip build again which makes her a sharp match for margiela’s long game of transformation. roversi’s language helps: soft focus + long exposures + painterly light that dissolves edges. it turns fame down to a hum so the house codes can speak. this is a campaign that will divide and maybe that's intentional.and yes: margiela has been the house of anti-celebrity for decades. anonymity is a value here not a gimmick -------- masks and/or makeup and/or veils from the start + faces blurred so the clothes take center stage.a “first-ever face” is a big deal culturally and let me tell you the purists ARE LIVID!!! from my end - not being a purist myself - I believe that a fashion brand as a business has the need and responsibility to adapt to the times they're operating in and in this ECONOMY come on. MILEY OR NOT MILEY this campaign is great and roversi is always an incredible choice.FIND ME HERE ‪https://www.instagram.com/chez.amelie/FIND THE POD ON YT AND SUBSTI and rate it for the love of gods of fashion!!!!

  • ep. 58 - fashion week politics with lucien pagès
    someone in my comment section said he’s “the man who turns water into perfume.” add to that: the liaison between vision and visibility. In this episode of the fashion archives podcast Lucien Pagès breaks down how perception becomes product, how to turn noise into meaning — and how to get invited to a fashion show (the most asked question in my dms I swear!!!!!)topics we got into:– pivoting from design to PR and reframing ambition– some brands are rich in sales but poor in story (and viceversa): how does PR balance that?– sacai and the reality of avantgarde fashion– designers as content creators– people sneaking into fashion shows– PR blacklisting — spoiler: it’s real– the industry’s obsession with romanticizing young male couturiers– and the question no one wants to ask: do we really need more fashion brands?the production quality of this episode is T-R-A-S-H (we had so many hiccups!). the conversation isn’t :)))full episode out now literally everywhere youtube substack spotify apple podcasts!!!find lucien here:https://www.instagram.com/lucienpages/find me here:https://www.instagram.com/chez.amelie/https://thefashionarchives.substack.com/https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-fashion-archives/id1764314268SAVE PRINT BY BUYING COOL FASHION BOOKS https://bit.ly/3G1ExEY

About the fashion archives

underneath every moment in fashion, there’s a strategy. or a rebellion. or both. how taste gets built (and broken). it’s about timing, references, subcultures, and the unspoken rules of the industry. hosted by amelie stanescu, this fashion podcast has episodes that mix deep dives, cultural analysis, and commentary on what’s happening: runway moments, the systems behind the image, and career moves you could—or probably shouldn’t—make. thinking out loud, and fashion happens to be the medium. that’s it. that’s the show basically. https://www.instagram.com/chez.amelie
