THE FASHION ARCHIVES

it took me one month to edit this episode, which i filmed after coming back from my fashion month tour around europe.
i wasn’t exhausted necessarily, i was a little confused by all my thoughts. they were coming out like vomit in this episode, so i had to find a decent order and a narrative consecutio temporum.
but anyways, a couple of things that will be mentioned here:
is the makeup getting more press coverage than the clothes at rick owens? (rhetorical question)
building your access in fashion is more useful than pretending to have it
i am craving seniority
ann demeulemeester’s friends of the house
fashion roadman and i fangirling over alessandro michele at the jil sander show and I can't believed it's not mentioned anywhere here
pretending you’ve reached your goals won’t get you closer to reaching them
accepting where you are and doing what you can with what you have is so me
forgot to talk about my fav thing on the feed this fashion month: bliss foster's interview with rick

John Galliano’s 2027 met costume Institute retrospective was announced and then cancelled just weeks later (SURPRISE SURPRISE) but the backlash around galliano was never exactly unpredictable so why did the met approve the exhibition in the first place????in this comeback episode we look at the John Galliano Met controversy, the unusually early announcement of John Galliano (MONTHS IN ADVANCE): horizons, the met’s consultations before the exhibition was announced, the backlash that followed, and the bigger question of whether a museum can historicise an important designer without also appearing to rehabilitate him.my theory is basically that galliano was used as a trojan horse for something we are yet to learn about

i went in for a collection preview at haderlump, honestly one of the strongest up-and-coming names on the berlin schedule and consistently one of the most attended shows every season.

proof that haderlump is having a real moment right now is the decision to open a physical store, at a time when even some of berlin’s oldest and coolest fashion spaces are struggling or closing altogether.

I visited the new space and previewed their winter 2026 collection called VARIUS, inspired by marlene dietrich.
the collection leans heavily into historical references with lace and draping and a softer approach, it makes a clear shift away from the brutalist berlin coded vibe that has been haderlump’s hallmark for since its beginnings.

new year new season they say

WELCOME TO THE FIRST EPISODE OF SEASON 2: we are exploring a parallelism that might be in my head only but I wanted to check if someone else sees this - it's a social experiment.

DID DEMNA GET INSPIRED BY THE REAL TRUE CRIME STORY OF GUCCI'S DYNASTY for his LA FAMIGLIA ss26 collection?

YOU ANSWER NOW, I've said enough.
