🟣 “Indeed, if shoppers are spelunking around in the back catalogs of designer brands, it’s because new luxury fashion has become too accessible and too obvious.”

Hard to hate this completely if it promotes reuse over seeking out new manufacturing — whether the items are officially archival or not.

🟣 “Keaton also directed and produced, championing women’s stories long before it was fashionable to do so. Her authenticity, both in fashion and in life, made her an enduring influence across generations of actors and creatives.”

🟣 “These are images that go out unmediated into the world, there to be interpreted and absorbed in ways that have little to do with the cosseted confines of a fashion show. For designers not to consider what they are saying is willfully ignorant at best, disingenuous and even damaging at worst.”

🟣 So, is the store closing due to lower sales or because its employees recently unionized?

Or is the landlord pushing them out because they can get higher rent from OpenAi leasing the space even though that makes them more vulnerable to the coming AI bubble burst?

This is extremely unfortunate.

Cold water can keep clothing looking better for longer:

🟣 “Warmer water is more likely to cause dyes to bleed, and the structure of some fabrics can be sensitive to higher temperatures…

Plus, you’ll save a few dollars on energy every year if you wash your laundry in cold water most of the time.”

🟣 It’s hard to understand how a peer-to-peer platform that relies on users to create listings, upload product photos, and ship packages to each other is operating at such a loss financially.
