Kendrick and I have the same Celine jeans. About as many people reacted to seeing me in flares as they did him, if you consider it to scale.

I’m struggling with a certain fashion brand and global publication celebrating the opening of their joint fashion show during the Super Bowl with Lucky Blue Smith. A tacky decision, considering the current state of America.

Timothèe Chalamet has gone full 90s-era bro.

America is moving in a direction that makes Batsheva collections make so much more sense.

Timothèe Chalamet peddling himself for True Religion was not on my bingo card.

The final scene of the Substance is giving Versace logo vibes

Seriously, Apple, fix the photos. As a shareholder, I beg you.

The cutest thing about being on European time while styling a fashion show is waking up to catch that friend in New York who is still out having martinis at the Carlyle.

Here’s a pro-tip for surviving fashion month: Zegna and Celine jackets don’t really wrinkle. You’re welcome.

The conditions on the Liverpool pitch are brutal today.

Equinox was full of resolution makers this morning.

Someone really needs to do better by Brooks Brothers.

Squid Game Season 2 is way more stressful than Season 1.

Pippa Garner was the original fashion influencer, unacknowledged by most fashion reviewers worldwide. RIP.

2024 was the year I learned that I can also style a sling. Pedro Pascal’s injury became my biggest red carpet challenge to date. But we still had fun.

If my memory serves me, I would say the trousers are LP.

Update:

So far NYE is starting with me being stuck halfway inside of a Ghesquière era Balenciaga thigh-hi boot that I refuse to admit doesn’t fit me.

After only 15 seconds of putting my feet into a pair of boots from The Row I said to the salesperson at Bergdorfs, “I’ll take them.” That’s a record, even for me.

I would love to see a bunch of musical artists and celebrities put on a nationally televised tribute concert for Pres. Jimmy Carter on inauguration day with all proceeds going to Habitat for Humanity.

Clothes are my creative medium. It all comes down to texture and form, much like paint to a canvas. That, and telling human stories. We all get dressed, so there is something connective in that to me. I enjoy exploring the links between people of various walks and stories.

Fashion came out of philosophy and art studies. I’m an avid researcher by nature, and while assisting at W Mag I realized they all combine in editorial storytelling. That, and the college roommate who told me I could never make it in fashion, lit a spark.

Now, Jonathan Anderson to Versace is the well-needed stretch we all need after the holiday.

I’d suggest walking along 57th st to all the designers’ brick and mortar stores, book ended by Bergdorf’s and Nordstrom’s men’s shops. You’ll, at the least, be able to see and try many brands along that path. Ven.Space is also a great multi-designer shop in BK with many great indie brands as well.

I mean, the last few looks from the SS25 Zegna fashion show that I styled were denim so call me biased, but the definition of formal attire has changed.

At a group dinner last night, someone introduced me as the original fashion influencer.
