Also.. friends .. as an elder in the crowd who is also a luxury buyer (note I have not said INVESTOR.. ) I fully fully adore supporting the craft, the art of Phoebe & miuccia..

no regrets

But, in the spirit of Jess, who has pulled back the curtain on the “influencer/affiliate economies/realities” I’ll add in my experience.. >> why I love this story.

One may love that prada field coat to the ends of the universe.. & save up all the dollars to get it & that will b for naught..

because so many of these looks (including that fantastic oversized Prada field jacket) are available ONLY as pre-orders, limited runs, & offered to clients who pay for them BEfORE they are manufactured.

So, while I’m not a fan/nor frequent buyer of fast fashion … let’s get real.. the only way that silhouette is available at ALL .. is Prada or nada 🤣🤣

Or… wait 3-4 years for resale & while I REALLY balked at paying a premium price for a distressed barn jacket.. I have worn it daily for 3 months in Spring & will NEVER sell it. Ever.

It’s even more beat up & filled w memories & adventures..

So, FULL respect (seriously) to boycotting fast fashion..but if that is not one’s position.. a few mindful buys of a look you love & can ACTUALLY purchase 🤣🤣.. I’m grateful to our favorite belle who is not afraid to stir up some of our own personal hornets.. & 🐝 “help us shop”

Also.. not proofread.. very long.. & I am in a hypersensitive moment in life so if you hate this post.. please keep scrolling 🥰🥰🥰😘😘
