@itsjessyin i want more outfit and sandwich pairings

my top is kind of the same color as the cheese in my sandwich

let's talk about the unsexy side of fashion tech !!! hosting a rabbit hole session this evening in NYC. comment for an invite

a/b testing if funnel necks r still trending. wore this jacket w the collar popped up and compliments increased by 5000%

@bensoned0 I tell people all the time: it’s unstable, fashion shows last 3 minutes, a-listers are small and ordinary in person, the coolest people are kind, only the losers are fake aloof, many of the jobs don’t require talent, some people are clinically insane, and the cool jobs are few.

@cxqmaggie yaaa !

new york sublets are really something else hosting dinners this week to bring together people across crypto & fashion taste is the new currency. we need to infuse more of it into the work we do. dm for an invite, first one is tonight :)

a very overlooked necessity of having style is being able to dress for the occasion. not just being able to turn a look but being able to turn a look for the actual situation you’re in. kate moss at muddy glasto vs. the people recreating that for every day wear is a great example

@kaysorin @OpenAI so curious ab what this could be ! interested in styling and happy to refer more stylists + HMU

ok i was not aware of ur game SIMKHAI

Two years ago Marc and I started asking what a YouTube for apps could look like 42 apps later and we’re slowly grasping the new world Appstar is a new creative class, an artist that speaks about culture and life, using software as their artistic medium. This week we decided it’s time to start giving this class the tools they need. Appstar is a place to build a fanbase around your software. For now we’re inviting people we genuinely admire. If this feels like you DM us to become an Appstar and get an emblem :)

also this was prob a nightmare for styling but soo efficient for dressing and casting teams

just realized they babuskha dolled the Prada models. def smth romantic here about the actual narrative of getting dressed and having to step out. like we wanna know whats underneath ur subway shirt Bella

i am so good at falling off

every platform is now for fit checks. take 3 (?)

Made a Prada ad in our front yard on this NYC blizzard day

r we still petitioning to keep tech bros out of fashion? perhaps a needed move in order for fashion tech to be funded seriously. anddd alluding to wearables finally going the right direction

taste is becoming a substitute for credibility, trust, and even the actual output of our work itself. perhaps, we’d rather be judged on a level of abstraction: “good taste”, intentionality, and self awareness

textured dress by me. made by heating up, melting, and twisting scraps of polyester. informed by issey miyake’s pleats please heat technology.

substacks straight from the notes app as a form of exposure therapy

the regurgitation of fashion tech news rn

currently planning toronto’s first fashion tech event(!!!) to those interested, what would you want to see? would it be more exploring the opportunities/landscape of fashion tech, meeting brands and builders, or even a showcase of what people are working on
