INTRO to #inTheseSTREETS live from NYC! A funny thing happened when I went out to get groceries and ended up drowning in faSHON
I saw them on that website and they were like, $400. And I tried to get them and the sunglasses, and I click click. And I think they ended up being sold out. And I was like, d*** it. And so according to Net Reporter or whatever the website is, they were like, oh, these are an exclusive pair of sunglasses. Only net reporter. But I was just like, well, let me Google and see

So apparently they have this new incubator at Sachs with these new designers. It's like the new thing that these stores realize that they have to nurture and curate the new generation, basically, of customers, but they want to say it's opportunity that they're giving to these new designers. And so I'm photographing that, and then of course, there's the established designers, and I'm just falling in love with Carolina Herrera, oscar de la Renta. And they had lows

But I'm also an artist, so it's just like, I think, like, my artist yeah, can make me cry. Like my artist side is like, fighting so hard. Like she's like, you know, be free, be free, be happy. Yeah. Yay. Joy. Joy. But then God also blessed me with this very intense analytical brain for all these political issues and pedagogy of the oppressed. How do we get free?

It's highly problematic, and I'm aware of a lot of the issues within fashion, but to me, it's still art. And so, like I said, I'm walking. So I'm looking at all the windows. Kim Kardashian is whoring herself out with Dolce and Gabana. 2 seconds ago, she was with Balenciaga, and I guess she still commandeers a following. So all these fashion houses and brands are still going to want her and court her

It's about an experience and a story that you're being invited into, and then you can take that journey elsewhere with gloves. I adore it, and I appreciate it. The detail and then the nonlinearness and creativity that is involved in doing a good window. It's more than just, oh, here comes a product that looks pretty. I'm going to put it there

And then when you do click, it's like, consult an associate. So apparently they have 24/7 concierge to sit there and walk you through how much some of these things are. They don't even put the price. Fendi puts the price for everything. And I was just, like, joking around about that. And Dior has this whole thing about Black lives matter. They have a whole thing about COVID they have a whole thing about their sustainability

I'm so excited because I am. I just love fashion ever since I was a child and my mother was a shopaholic, so I used to just thumb through all her catalogs, four or 5678 years old, and I'd make my own shopping list. Like, this is what I'm going to wear back to school for everything. So thank you

Um, I guess some questions in terms of what are you curious about in the world of fashion? Like, what issues come up for you regarding fashion in terms of diversity, in terms of sustainability, in terms of respectability, or lack thereof? Do you think that fashion has gone down? Your thoughts on fashion? Fashion, I see a lot of people who don't know that the little dart in the back of their blazer or their coat that they need they need to pop it
