'The Devil Wears Barbour' in Sunday Times Style and the Call to Kant-Style Humanism
/
It’s no exaggeration to say that luxury fashion has fallen in love with the countryside. The Sunday Times Style [IG] tells us to ‘Grab your Chanel wellies’ thanks to a fashion story featuring Ukrainian model Anastasia Netrebiuk.
Barbour does set the stage about this slow living, back to the land vision, humanistic-values, brand-integrity-rich clothing company — describing the ‘Barbour Way of Life’.
Creating Beauty As Purpose
Brunello Cucinelli’s landing page, a brand also featured in The Sunday Times Style fashion story, has a pre-entry message, one I was discussing this morning with my closest human friend: Kant’s philosophical observation that “Beauty is the symbol of the morally good”.
I’d say it’s very Ralph Lauren — especially now that Ralph Lauren is officially a cultural creative, and I’m loving him to death for it. But Barbour preceded Ralph by about 50 years.

/
Model Anna Mila Guyenz is styled by Francesca Rinciari in a Barbiecore fashion feast, lensed by Javier Biosva [IG], that plays directly into the highly-anticipated Barbie film, scheduled for release July 21, 2023. This reality check locks down the style supposition that pink passion has not yet peaked.
Advanced prisons have pink rooms and it’s at least rumoured that some football teams have painted the opposing team’s guest locker rooms pink. All roads lead to Iow’s Kinnick Stadium on this topic. Beware that the original pink prisons research has not been duplicated. The BBC drilled down deeply on this connection between color and brain activity last July.
