Is this the solution last minute shoppers have been waiting for?
I was on the Valentino webpage, as us nonwealthy do from time to time. I noticed they were promoting an option for a virtual gifting experience: 4Gift. As they put it, it gives you the option to give your recipient an instant digital unboxing, meaning you don’t need to worry about shipping delays. They get…

Maybe I’m not lazy?
I am rushing to write this before I head off for my second job. I am doing this because I am trying to maintain my streak of posting every day. As I scramble to get this post, I am thinking maybe I am not lazy. I post everyday on a blog that I started for…

So, did you notice this one thing in your user agreement?
We might as well continue with the complaints. As I logged into my Lyft app for the first time in a while, I was prompted to agree to the new terms. I chose to read through instead of mindlessly clicking to quickly book my ride. “Arbitration.” As a condition to use the service, I had…

About that backpack Mangione wore
This week, I have been musing on the connection between politics and fashion. It’s really about the idea that clothing carries a message with it. I started with the idea that brands sometimes try to distance themselves and the political figures who might want to wear their clothing. But that is not an issue solely…

On politics and fancy clothes
I came across this statement from Tom Ford, when he was asked whether he would dress Melania Trump back in the first term of President Donald Trump. If you were to watch the clip in full, hear the audience clap, and read the YouTube comments, you would hear him say that he would refuse to…

What happens with you mix fashion and politics?
Melania Trump was photographed wearing a striking Versace coat at the funeral for former president Jimmy Carter. Usha Vance, wife of vice president-elect J. D. Vance, was seen in Retrofête recently. Fashion is making its mark in politics. But I started to wonder, what if the brand doesn’t want to be associated with that political…
