I have you @Jess to thank for my Khaite cashmere cardigan obsession. As a person who hates coats the quality and weight are flawless. A superb article. Thank you.
Such great writing! I definitely look to Substack for fashion inspiration and rarely to any sort of print version. Oddly enough, when it comes to interior design, I vastly prefer the print version.
Your reflection on influence was on point. I enjoyed how you distinguished people with influence, people who wings it and people in the grey area of influence due to their work and the times we're living in. Also enjoyed reading your explanation about your newsletter not being a fashion one, but a shopping one. As I am seeing many fashion writers and editors coming on Substack to create shopping newsletters, I felt quite disheartened because it smells of consumerism. But I am glad you proved me wrong (in your case)😊.
The girls who get Khaite, get ripped off. This is coming from someone who pays full price for The Row and has been paying full price since the late 90s for Jil, Helmut, Calvin, Donna, Prada, Tom Ford’s Gucci, YSL, Hermes etc.
I work as a fashion designer and I must say I rarely buy fashion mags, which is sad. One I did however throw myself over was 1granary’s latest issue with insider interviews from the luxury industry. These people with NDAs you know, tons of experience getting to say their thing. Maybe someone here would like it too. It keeps selling out.
Jess, I love your fashion (and influenced constantly!) but I LOVE your writing. This was a great piece.
Thank you Meg!

a classic at this point!

That makes sense, expansive home photos are best in print!
Yes! And fashion magazines simply aren't helpful to me, in terms of personal style.

Consumerism is the beast that drives fashion, one can’t exist without the other. Now style; that’s another story ❤️
I'll have to ponder on that because where I grew up consumerism was a beast driven by beauty and fashion was secondary.
The girls who get Khaite, get ripped off. This is coming from someone who pays full price for The Row and has been paying full price since the late 90s for Jil, Helmut, Calvin, Donna, Prada, Tom Ford’s Gucci, YSL, Hermes etc.
And that’s the opine you are entitled to opine ❤️
How do you get a print edition of the cut? Just NY mag?
Yep! NYMag
Really great piece. I fully enjoyed reading it, and couldn't agree more with you.

Agreed with all above, your writing is a joy to read!
