I dream of Harrod’s
I have somehow drifted into British fashion YouTube. For whatever reason, the site has decided to grant me my fashion fix with side of accents and dry British humour.

âThis isnât Zara for rich peopleâ: Daniel Roseberry on keeping Schiaparelli exclusive
Previously, I had watched a video by Bliss Foster, where he discussed the idea of not everything has to be for him. If there are times when he doesnât want to pay full price for the authentic item (in contrast to buying a replica) then maybe that wasnât a bad thing. It just is a…

Let Montale’s Arabian Tonka take you on a fragrant journey

Dolce & Gabbana goes all black for Fall-Winter 2023/2024
Dolce & Gabbana debuted their menswear line for Fall-Winter 2023/2024. It was just black, with pops of color from grey and white. To call them pops of color is a bit much.
