@plmsda Complete misunderstanding of Prada's design aesthetic.
They would never put the Prada wordmark on the bottom left of a coat. It would be the Symbole on the left chest and centered below the back collar.

@femaleweezerfan You can't give the sauce to someone who doesn't have the sauce within (I've tried)

Why use such an obvious AI illustration? None of the floor or architectural details of the buildings line up, and the perspective is off.
If this is supposed to be a view looking south from Central Park, the Empire State Building is barely visible in that skyline, and to the right.

Latest conspiracy theory: TikTok juiced the algorithm to turn "You met me at a very Chinese time in my life" into a viral meme, softening American views on China right when US patriotism is at an all-time low.
Reminder — Bytedance still owns the algorithm!
Saying "hey, you have to sell your giant global mind control device to us" in the interest of limiting foreign adversary influence on everyday Americans is good, but then letting them keep the very thing that lets them influence Americans...seems bad!

Free brand activation idea:
Get a mobile power washing station and go around NYC next week cleaning the sidewalks of notable local businesses of all the trash, grime, and dog poop.
Have a friendly team of 2-3 people with custom branded uniforms - maybe all white as a throwback to the “White Wings”.
Film the process for short form content and small business owner reactions.
Connect it to your product/service’s ability to clean things up, provide clarity, peace of mind, etc.

Hey @generalatlantic one of your old summer interns dumped a bunch of investment memos and pipeline updates outside of Bar Bianchi on Houston and A.
I organized them for you for easy pickup :)

You could run a very successful business converting cool old cars to Tesla drivetrains
Prices starting at $500k for restored modified versions with Tesla guts
Ford Bronco
FJ40
Porsche 911
Jaguar E-type
Camaro
Mustang
Etc

🇺🇸 TESLA GUTS, MUSTANG BODY: THE EV FRANKENSTEIN LIVES A guy in Sacramento stuffed a 2024 Tesla drivetrain into a dying 1966 Mustang and gave it Full Self-Driving. The hand-crank windows stayed, but now it has heated seats, AC, and Autopilot. It charges at Tesla stations and pulls 194 miles of range, with the gas cap now hiding a charging port. The whole thing cost $40K and 2 years of elbow grease. For anyone torn between a V8 fantasy and Tesla tech - he found the loophole. Source: Business Insider

@Ekaeoq Used book stores. Physical ephemera. A photo of a beautiful shadow you saw on the walk home from dinner.
The next great aesthetic isn't on a digital moodboard.
It's in the world.
Go find it.

It’s funny because Ralph (total new money) ended up building an all-time signifier for old money.
Kith — for all its Ralph reverence — cannot shed the new-money smell
Maybe it’s just part of the plan
But it manifests as an almost perfect mirror…
NoHo glass box vs UES town house
East Hampton house vs Montauk ranch
Treats vs Polo Bar
Drops vs Icons
Sneaker wall vs Tailor shop

Jacobs was right, and the ongoing American urban tragedy is that no one is reproducing the golden medium density of the Village

Jane Jacobs devoted her entire intellectual life to the daring proposition that the west village is a nice place to live
