New York Fashion Week Is A Lie

Did we get played at times during New York Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2021? Most certainly- but not because of the pandemic, but rather foolish mistakes on the part of NYFW.com and Vogue in my opinion.

Vivienne Westwood Fall 2019: Fashion Protest

Vivienne Westwood’s Fall 2019 runway show was all about graphic protest through fashion, although Vogue’s Luke Leitch’s review was more a protest of the protest than a review…he discussed literally nothing shown but rather complained about being sold clothes while being “preached” to about sustainability.
