For Highsnobiety, I wrote an art historical essay on why there's never been a better time to make Constantin Brancusi, the famous Romanian sculptor, your new menswear North Star. www.highsnobiety.com/p/brancusi-m...

Constantin Brancusi Was the OG Menswear God
Constantin's Brancusi MoMA show won't just feature the artist's famous sculptures — it also offers a look at his impeccable style.

For Highsnobiety, I wrote a midform piece about the new Bad Bunny x Zara collection, tying it into broader trends at the fast-fashion brand as it makes an aggressive push toward "respectability." www.highsnobiety.com/p/zara-bad-b...

Bad Bunny Proves Zara Can Look Like Luxury
Zara's Bad Bunny collection epitomizes the retailer's evolved visual language, a manifestation of Zara's shift from fast fashion to something "elevated."

For Highsnobiety, I wrote about all the fashion brands culturemogging the Venice Biennale — and why fashion's embrace of art goes all the way back to a certain legendary designer's 1931 art gallery. www.highsnobiety.com/p/fashion-br...

Why Are Fashion Brands Culturemogging the Venice Biennale?
With the 61st Biennale Arte, luxury labels like Zegna, Bulgari, and Louis Vuitton are turning art's biggest event into an exercise in tastemaking.

A24 rode Marty Supreme and The Drama hype to build a marketing machine through must-buy clothing collabs that just happen to be related to movies.

Can you provide a range or a minimum? Rates are all over the place across the industry, so saying "well" doesn't really mean much unless it's compared to a real number. Asking on behalf of @studyhall.bsky.social so I can share on the Opps Finder.

For Artsy, I spoke with a half dozen gallerists and collectors about the rise of alternative art fairs like Esther, Basel Social Club, and Upstairs Art Fair. Here's why these intimate, more experimental events are integral to the fair circuit. www.artsy.net/article/chri...
