I may never wear much that you write about but I have always loved fashion, looking at it and reading about it. My goodness, Jess. Bravo. This was the best essay I have EVER read about it in my many years on Earth.

The clothes have to live outside the context of the runway - love how you brought it all back to the readers, the consumers, the women actually buying and wearing the clothes! Thank you! ❤️

I so appreciate your fashion week coverage and this piece is truly next level commentary (bravo!) I don’t think there's been a better Khaite collection and +1 to FFORME, Kallmeyer, and Heirlome keeping the magic alive. Now to go listen to that David Byrne cover…
