FASHION WEEK? NO DARLING.THIS IS SUCCESSION IN BALENCIAGA.

Somewhere in Milan, a very expensive candle is burning while a publicist is having a nervous breakdown in whisper-tone Italian.

Euphoria Wasn’t Fiction to Me—It Was a Front-Row Seat to the Circus (London, 2011)

Watching Euphoria last night, I didn’t see Rue spiraling and think, “Relatable.” I saw a sanitized, HBO-budget version of the chaos I used to watch from the sidelines—only cleaner, more curated, and far more heterosexual than the London I remember. The truth is: what Euphoria portrays as “heightened drama” was, for my circle, just a standard Tuesday night in Vauxhall. And as the one person not vibrating on a … Continue reading Euphoria Wasn’t Fiction to Me—It Was a Front-Row Seat to the Circus (London, 2011)

Everyone thinks being a fashion journalist is basically living inside The Devil Wears Prada—minus the emotional damage, plus better lighting. Let me ruin that fantasy for you. I’ve been there. I was that girl. And trust me, it’s colder, messier, and far less cinematic. Back in 2009, after sending what felt like a lifetime’s worth of desperate emails and applications, I finally got my break. … Continue reading Confessions of a (Not-So-Glam) Fashion Intern: My “Andy Sachs” Era

The Glitter and the Gutter: Why Nate and Cassie’s Wedding is the Ultimate Monument to Toxic Ambition

In the neon-soaked archives of modern television, few moments capture the zeitgeist quite like the union—and immediate disintegration—of Nate Jacobs and Cassie Howard. It was the wedding the internet spent seasons predicting, a “perfect” toxic fairytale that ended not with a kiss, but with a visceral, blood-spattered reality check. Years from now, when we look back at the peak of high-concept melodrama, this episode will stand … Continue reading The Glitter and the Gutter: Why Nate and Cassie’s Wedding is the Ultimate Monument to Toxic Ambition

Why Charlize Theron Thinks AI Will Replace Timothée Chalamet in 10 Years

Charlize Theron to Timothée Chalamet: “AI Can Do Your Job, But It Can’t Do Mine” In a scorched-earth interview with The New York Times, Charlize Theron didn’t just disagree with Timothée Chalamet; she put him on notice. The beef stems from Timmy’s “reckless” (Charlize’s word, and she used it twice) comments during a Variety town hall earlier this year. Chalamet, apparently feeling himself a bit too much, dismissed ballet … Continue reading Why Charlize Theron Thinks AI Will Replace Timothée Chalamet in 10 Years
