Vogue World Milan: Celebrating Craftsmanship in an AI Era

Vogue World came to Milan to celebrate Italian craftsmanship. Lovely. Except that, somewhere between the opera, the couture and the celebration of everything beautifully human about fashion, there were robots. Because apparently in 2026 we can no longer organise a fashion event without reminding everyone that artificial intelligence has entered the room. Even when the entire point of the evening is supposedly to celebrate the … Continue reading Vogue World Milan: Celebrating Craftsmanship in an AI Era

The Revenge of Galliano — Or, The Met Gala That Almost Was

For a moment, it looked as though fashion was preparing for one of its most complicated acts of institutional redemption. John Galliano was expected to become the subject of a major Costume Institute exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, a career retrospective that would have placed one of fashion’s most influential and controversial designers firmly inside the museum’s canon. Instead, Galliano has decided that … Continue reading The Revenge of Galliano — Or, The Met Gala That Almost Was

The Met Gala 2027 reportedly picked John Galliano — and fashion just said “I can fix him” in couture

If this is true, the 2027 Met Gala theme is “John Galliano: Horizons.” Which means the fashion industry has officially entered its “the group chat is typing” era. Because if there is one thing fashion loves more than a dramatic silhouette, it’s a controversial man with exceptional tailoring. For anyone who joined fashion during the TikTok archive era and thinks Galliano is simply the patron … Continue reading The Met Gala 2027 reportedly picked John Galliano — and fashion just said “I can fix him” in couture

Alt text: Cynical fashion editorial blog header about the modern runway economy, describing high fashion as an attention-driven system where models, influencers, and controversy are used to generate engagement rather than showcase clothing. The tone is ironic and critical, emphasizing viral culture, algorithmic influence, and the collapse of traditional fashion values into social media spectacle.

“High Fashion and the Art of Weaponized Attention”

Oh, you want the raw, unpolished, jaded-industry-insider cynicism? Let’s strip away the glitter, darlings, because this isn’t just a PR mistake—it’s a symptom of a deeply bankrupt culture. Grab your biggest sunglasses, because the glaring desperation of the fashion world is about to blind us.

BIANCA’S MILKY WAY: Why Ye’s Gemini Season is Silicon Valley Porn for the Art Crowd

There was a time when provocation required effort. The great provocateurs of the twentieth century risked careers, prison, public outrage, sometimes even their safety. They challenged religion, politics, morality, war. They scandalized society because they were trying to expose something hidden beneath it. In 2026, meanwhile, one of the richest celebrities on Earth films his wife milking a cow in the Alps before pouring the … Continue reading BIANCA’S MILKY WAY: Why Ye’s Gemini Season is Silicon Valley Porn for the Art Crowd

The upcoming film adaptation starring Margot Robbie challenges every expectation — not … Continue reading Wuthering Heights Reimagined: When Fashion Takes Over Literature
