How does clothing affect who we are and what we think of ourselves? I wrote a fun little piece about the 3 dresses that changed my life: thesedlibera.substack.com/p/a-life-… #fashion #luxury
A quote graphic from Jessica Quillin’s Substack essay, A Life in Three Dresses, featuring a passage about a cherished yellow Easter dress from childhood, with an empire waist, knife pleats, lace collar, and puffed sleeves reminiscent of Anne Shirley. White text appears against a dark, softly blurred background.

You know what AI can’t do? It can’t make me gush like new running shoes can. A new pair of running shoes is a form of magic, an experience in which you become transformed, uplifted, and removed from your every day into a space of pure, unadulterated play, exhilaration, and expressive movement […]

In our latest Fashion Strategy Weekly post, we examine the Zara x Galliano collab through the lens of narrative strategy. Full article here: www.fashionstrategyweekly.com/p/gal… #fashion #luxury
Essay excerpt that says: John Galliano has always approached fashion as something closer to narrative than product. His work is purposefully cinematic and provocative, unfolding through character, mood, and atmosphere until the clothes feel inseparable from the world around them.

I’m all for the shared joy in Maison Margiela’s latest “Joy” film with music by Max Richter on the occasion of their AW2026 collection. But the repetitive Insta and LinkedIn posts with the same images and roughly the same captions about the film are killing me. It’s like fashion social media is […]

Luxury content is louder than ever but narrative coherence is dissipating. Our latest FSW case study shows how brands with strong narrative systems sustain value and growth, while others leak meaning as they scale. Read: “The Narrative Coherence Crisis in Luxury: A Comparative Case Study of […]

Walked into Neiman Marcus in search of something specific (a strapless bra) and found the entire section GONE. They had a wall with a handful of styles. None in my size. Modern department stores are having major issues. I get it. But there’s still product in stores. It just always seems to be […]
