Star Struck Style

I published this post last year on this day. Since then, the designer runways have moved in the exact opposite direction of where I believe fashion is going. In fact, people are writing articles trying to explain why the major labels want everyone to dress like they are zillionaires.

It’s all kind of weird to me, but not completely unexpected. I wrote an email to a friend who occupies a top rung of the ladder in the fashion business wondering what happened to “subversion” in fashion. She let me know how much she was dreading the couture shows and the “Billionaire’s Wives Club.” Yeah, those people might be propping up the high-end brands now, but what happens if the bottom falls out of the stock market. The signs are there. Every economist in the world is predicting a global recession. On top of that, young people are more and more pissed off every day, despite what the legacy media is reporting.

Once again, Saturn moves back into Aries on May 24. It then backtracks to Pisces on September 1 for a final hurrah before it moves into Aries on February 13, 2026. We can expect a lot more of this vacillation between the old guard and the new generation, and the utter cluelessness of marketing executives and fashion writers who are incapable of pulling their heads out of their asses. Loud luxury is not the counterpoint to quiet luxury. They’ll only understand that point when the luxury market starts failing altogether like it did in the early nineties. No one is going to attend the revolution in a fucking Valentino gown.

Soon . . .
