I know the blog has been so dormant, it’s hard to remember the last time I even posted… a long overdue relaunch/rethink/redesign is on the way but in the meantime… I felt compelled enough to stop mopping up baby vom and instead write about the @ニューヨーク・タイムズ @NYTimesFashion story that has just broken, concerning Bruce Weber and Mario Testino
