I've been thinking about it a lot

A string of random thinking

Thank you for reading this inconsistent newsletter that doesn’t sell you anything. I appreciate you.

• Be an understated disruptor.

• Don’t be visible at any given time.

• Nobody has their shit together.

• Make an extra effort to be annoying with what you wear.

• My“I am only buying five things this year” this time is a two-month-long story. Last time I was happy and now I am exploring my Trousseau Era. And I leave it at this.

Love

• Beatrix Potter was a badass environmentalist and she didn’t even know it.

• The idea of being a member of the word police

• Rosé on ice on a summer early afternoon

• Limning topics of over-production and mindless consumption with bright pink notes, like suggesting what to do instead of forbidding.

• Matching midnight blue and black, the best color-blocking I’d recommend.

Hate

• The idea that, because fashion is my industry, I should be interested in any of the following news: a new creative director for Canada Goose, Burberry in shambles, Gucci resort show … I don’t see the change, I don’t see how any of that can reconstruct people’s enthusiasm for fashion.

• But I also really, REALLY, despise those disgruntled people who, in the name of sustainability, feel entitled to be aggressive and negative all the time, deplore all purchasing behaviors, invoke self-imposed abstinence from consumerism, and bash people like old-fashioned teachers used to punish you in the corner. Accusing, shaming, and painting the doom and gloom prospect of the end of the world doesn’t incentivize change, it causes frustration instead, and irritation and makes you annoying af.
