We can't forget one another.

It is February 3 and I am so tired.I've been harassed by MAGAts for being non binary (and ugly). Leftists (who should be my people) harassing me for staying on Meta or expressing my frustration with the people who didn't vote in the election. DMs from small business owners panicked about tariffs, saying I'm not upset enough. And now Canadians, who are understandably angry.

We're going to get through this, but we all need to take a minute to remember the humanity behind our screens.I hate to be that guy…but we're never going to win the fight against fascism if we're all being jerks on the internet. Instead, we're just breaking into even smaller (and less effective factions) and just wearing ourselves out.

I feel like the chaos is coming in all directions in my life right now…from people who I expect to be terrible to me (fine, they are never very clever anyway)…but then also from people who want the same things (who are somehow crueler, maybe because they understand me more). I am sure many of you are experiencing similar situations.

And I get it: we're all tired and scared and angry and feel powerless.

Here's what we can do:

★ "Think globally but act locally": It sounds cheesy, but it's real. Like, if you're worried about people going hungry, get involved with your local community fridge or food banks. Worried about fast fashion? Start a mending group (it can also be virtual). That impact is instant and meaningful.

★ DON'T GET YOUR NEWS FROM SOCIAL MEDIA: Seriously, I've seen so much misinformation on social media over the last few weeks, often one kernel of truth presented in a misleading manner…which leads to more fear.

★ If you're here in the US, call and email your elected representatives as often as possible. This is something you can do easily, even in your pajamas!

I really don't care about NYFW and high fashion.

About to say something I kept a secret for years while working in fashion: I really don't care about NYFW and high fashion.

t feels good to say this “out loud.” While working in the industry, I felt ashamed of this because I assumed it just revealed that I was too poor and feral to be good at my job. It reminded me that I did not have the same background as my coworkers.

I really don't care about NYFW and high fashion. It never felt relevant to my life before working in fashion because the idea of “Chanel on a trailer park budget” felt ridiculous to me (Btw, yes I did grow up in a trailer park).  High fashion has always felt like a way to remind people with less money that they will never be good enough.  And NYFW has been sort of the FLAGSHIP EVENT for reinforcing the racism, ageism, and fat phobia that permeates the entire fashion industry.

“Fashion” (and fast fashion) has all the bad -phobias and -isms built into it. In fact, it doesn’t succeed if people aren’t feeling bad about who they are. After all, “fashion” is often sold to us as the cure for our problems: the right garment from the right brand will open doors socially, romantically, etc.  I always come back to the Simpsons episode where Marge gets that pink Chanel suit at the outlet store. 

If you've read this far, you might think that I hate clothes. But I actually love clothes and personal style. I am excited to get dressed every day because it is a fun and valuable creative expression. I have always found my style inspiration in the people around me (including my virtual online community). I love seeing how people mix things up, build outfits, and even tell stories about themselves via their clothing. That's way more interesting to me. 

The slow fashion community really brings the innovation and creativity...from your proud outfit repeater photos and thrift finds, to the designers working to make interesting ethical clothing, to the upcyclers and vintage/secondhand dealers making something new out of things that already exist.  What makes this even better is that slow fashion isn't just for a select group of people...it's for everyone.  All of us can take part in it...which makes it the exact opposite of high fashion. 

So maybe I was always destined to find my home in the slow fashion community?

Wow this resonates so much, I always feel embarrassed that I am not very tapped into nyfw bc I call myself a designer and I live in ny. Like literally today I forgot that nyfw started. And I really don’t get why ppl say like oh it’s Copenhagen fashion week is better, It feels like a commodified experience. Annnnnnndddd I’m realizing that only super rich ppl get invited!!! Like I’m always embarrassed I’m not invited to any shows bc I don’t know the right people. But “knowing the right people is just a euphemism for being rich!!
