1GRANARY's interview with public relations vet ED FILIPOWSKI made me smile. He talks passion, glamour, grit—all things that keep the industry moving. Filipowski's obviously a pro. The real deal. KCD didn't build such a loyal group of clients and staff without something special being there. And I agree that so many of the issues facing the industry could benefit handily from a simple shift in perspectives. It's a process. Yet I can't fully agree on continuing to invest in a kind of "front row to back row" hierarchy. How much of that front row has shifted over the past 5, 10, or 15+ years? Some of the gatekeeping in the industry is holding it back. Some of the outside observers of the industry are highly sophisticated. Many of them are not. Frankly some of them should be hired in. But I get it. There are some real differences and a whole lot of nuance when it comes to learned experience, literacy, fandom, business, and reputation. When it comes to fashion, it's almost a sixth sense. Fashion is open to commentary from any keyboard surfing, armchair enthusiast out there. Couldn't agree more that the rulebook is gone. I'll second Filipowski here: trust (and hone) your instincts... No shade to influencers, but you've got to admit this is pretty funny. Fictional blogger DELILAH drops some real gems here: "If they don't have 10K, then walk away." L>O>L. Oh, and check out how Delilah stacks the fashion week hierarchy... Now on to a topic that just sucks for everyone involved: model ULRIKKE HOYER took to social media to talk about getting canceled by a casting agent for being "too big"... Designer RICHARD QUINN opened a print studio in LONDON, and the designers of ALISTAIR JAMES gave the studio a shoutout. Nice to see that sense of community... Found myself captivated by ANNA WINTOUR's thoughts on being a fashion editor—in 1997... REI KAWAKUBO covers the VILLAGE VOICE and I love it... One last gem from that fashion blogger mockumentary: "Like, literally, anything can and will happen." Bon weekend everybody.
