Just in case anyone is under the wrong impression, my newsletter is not a Democracy. It is my universe, which I founded, where I am God. And I will smite your comment if you annoy me.

THE BEST IMPOSSIBLY CHIC LIST. Can't believe you called out Margiela's Hermès bags. The Initiale is an unsung icon of bag design.

And Alaïa! The Alaïa maison/foundation in the Marais has a preserved area of his personal atelier, it's like an iconic fashion era captured forever frozen in time. Visit if you haven't already!

All of this <3 but especially, 7, 8, 22, and 24. And 14 for good measure because you can be very nice and also like very nice things.
