let's prank call our crushes
For someone like myself, who loved the golden age of fashion but never quite got to live it (being born in ’95 inhibits you from wearing the best collection of all time), Raf Simons walking through the doors of Calvin Klein is everything. Despite the #mycalvins movement, and I must credit the campaign, Calvin is heading back […]

You may have met a lot of people on Instagram this week. Those who made your bags, clothes and shoes. Those who aren’t exploited as slave labour for the sake of fast fashion. Sunday will mark three years since the collapse of the Rana Plaza complex. The building had been deemed unsafe just the day before, […]

I think an apology is in order. And a thank you. This is probably the best place to start. I try to limit myself to a gram a day, but when you’re working backstage at numerous fashion shows, it calls for a get out of jail free card. Last week I arrived in Auckland, slightly […]

It’s a sleepy Tuesday morning, and I’m on Fashion Week catch up. Days 3 and 4 were easily a highlight in themselves, showcasing both emerging and veteran designers. And then there was Sean Kelly, and I helped him with his goodie bags. Perks of the job or something like that. And his collection was worth every […]

I’m huddled up with a hot water bottle and a tom yum stir-fried tofu, and it’s only Day 2. And by Day 2 I really mean it’s been roughly 30 hours since Fashion Week opened. Seeing the venue transform has been magical. It didn’t help that I turned up to the wrong place, slightly hungover and […]

You know the girl. She wears red lipstick to compliment her blue jeans and Dior thigh highs. She oozes sexuality and there’s this paradox where her anonyminity makes her so much cooler – but you know her. Courtesy of my Vogue Daily, I know her. I know what kind of coffee she drinks, where she […]
