Model Kiki Willems is styled by Isabelle Kountoure in the July 2022 issue of HTSI Magazine from London’s Financial Times.
As a stand-alone magazine of the conspicuous consumption lifestyle of the 1990s and 2000s, How To Spend It lived up to its name. Today, however, FT invites readers “to interpret the ‘S’ in line with their own deeper interests”.
The development of an artisanal approach is different from what is being labeled ‘ethical’ by websites like Good On You.
Leather is a perfect example. Hermès will never be called ethical because they are using leather. Even though they agree to the highest possible worker standards and environment-friendly policies in tanning and how the animals are treated, it’s leather.
Note, though, that even Stella McCartney can’t get a top rating on Good on You, which suggests a bleak future if even she can’t cut it with the uber-progressives. Stella does get a ‘good’ — or a B on a 5-point scale. Note Stella McCartney’s rating is 2018.
The Medusa has taken a psychedelic spin toward a Summer of Love, lensed by Lea Colombo [IG]. It may be 110-degrees in Puglia or its reverse — snowing in July seaside — but optimism is self-created, even when circumstances are dire.
If we’re not in denial and actively trying to save the planet, our heads are in the right place. If we’re still marching for social justice, the activewear should be polished.
We’re doing our best to find a new groove, inspired here by Versace models Akon Changkou, Alyda Grace, Habib Masovic, Kelvin Adewole, Kiki Willems and Ryan Park. Just make refusal your middle name, and we’re going to get through this.
