I've been thinking about it a lot * week 33
A string of opinionated random thoughts
Fall is what I have been thinking about. A lot. August 15th is gone and with it summer, like Epiphany takes all the holidays away. And now in Miami, we live in that limbo period of total denial that we’ll still have three months of scorching heat, humidity, and hurricanes. Repeat with me: Summer is over.
Let’s talk about influencers turned fashion critics. Like any other form of art criticism, fashion criticism is like a recipe: know the artist/designer/Maison, material knowledge, research, objectivity, fashion history at your fingertips, context, show notes, and the gift of storytelling because sometimes you deliver good news sometimes not. What would fashion be without fashion critics? Just clothing and trends. You draw your conclusions.

Alain Delon and Monica Vitti in Antonioni’s L’Eclisse
You may not have noticed, but the pictures I post on IG and the caption have no direct correlation because the obvious bores me.
Need to talk about Copenhagen Fashion Week: smart sustainable fashion, the perfect weather, the most creative and out-of-the-box outfits, stimulating sets, and interiors.
Anyone watched Eric the Netflix dramatic mini-series with Benedict Cumberbatch? Because I did and found it so riveting that I binged hard. We get assuaged to crap TV and forget what it is to be in front of a masterful actor.
Hate
Cottage cheese
Mercury in retrograde that this week is hitting hard.
How do you say it in Italian?
Stracchino is a cheese similar to stracciatella, smooth and seasonal, cheap and ubiquitous in Italy, rare and expensive in Miami. In Italy is used in the Focaccia di Recco for example. I have noticed that Trader Joe’s sells what they describe as the interior of the burrata as stracciatella and the verdict is ain’t it. At Di Palo’s Little Italy they have it, but you have to order it as in #iykykyk So now you know.
