While the world’s eyes are on fashion’s biggest night, we’re turning ours to the garment, retail, and warehouse workers who keep the industry running. From true love found on the picket line to a free tailoring school out of a Brooklyn basement — meet the New Yorkers who make it all possible.

Good morning, my loves. Happy Tuesday! This is all i got today. I hope your day behaves.

Do not seize the day. This will startle the day and may cause it to become
aggressive and give you a nasty bite.
Instead, approach the day calmly without
making eye contact, pet it gently, and slowly enfold it in a careful embrace.
If the day shows any signs of resistance
to being engaged with, it is likely to turn on you. Back off and return to bed.

Many commentators say that vigilante groups are never the answer. But they clearly don't know about the masked Ecuadorian trio named “Acción Ortográfica Quito,” who roam the streets at night with a singular purpose: to correct all the spelling and grammar mistakes they find in graffiti.
