A number of snippets of digital ephemera and IRL suggestions I’ve loved recently…
1/ PHOEBE PHILO (above) is returning to Mayfair. I confess I’ve discovered it tougher to interact with Phoebe’s model with out the standard catwalk present, look e book pictures, or bodily retail. So having an IRL retailer in London is welcome information.
2/ The FASHION PEOPLE interview with Michael M Grynbaum, writer of Empire of the Elite: Inside Condé Nast, the Media Dynasty That Reshaped America, is a good little historical past lesson on Condé Nast and the Newhouse household. Grynbaum’s anecdote of the significance of Vogue having a big variety of advert pages in comparison with fewer pages from extra spendy advertisers (with a purpose to beat rival Harper’s Bazaar) was a humorous one as I keep in mind what headline information it was each September that Vogue had a whopping 700! 800! 900! pages that 12 months. Attributable to Newhouse’s imposter syndrome, model notion was extra essential to him than revenue. (I additionally love when a podcaster lets their visitor converse!)
3/ KEDS vs SUPERGAS. Muji fucked with my informal go-to shoe (they modified the stitching!) so I’ve defected to Superga* (on sale now). I just like the clear, cream vulcanised sole with the black canvas higher. Don’t take heed to Casey Lewis, Superga is way superior to Keds.
4/ Must you see the VERSACE exhibition? There’s a splashy new Gianni Versace Retrospective exhibition at Arches London Bridge (under). I loved the personal view, however on discovering the entry value is £29 I’m undecided if it’s value it. I suppose for a Versace die-hard, or these obsessive about style it is likely to be nearly justifiable, however in any other case I’d suppose twice. I used to be by no means into the Versace aesthetic however what helps is all of the contextual materials alongside the clothes reveals. It additionally serves as a window into 80s-90s popular culture – the supermodels, the magazines, the celebs – it’s a nostalgia journey in case you have been there, and an schooling in case you weren’t.
