There’s also something to be said about collating and curating in the slow writing process—facts, knowledge, smells, descriptions, stories, passport stamps, headlines—until the collection becomes part of the transformation process. Through acute and critical attention, away from the drive of production, toward the singularity of studying a branch,... See more

I find that my new idea of a “cool girl” doesn’t exude that icy, unattainable coolness anymore, but rather an accessible warmth. They don’t resist the inevitability of aging, they are highly self-aware, honest, kind. They know life is short and they can laugh at the absurdity of it all!

Quality is so rare generally that people are often surprised by it.
Quality rarely happens as an accident, it usually means someone is willing to go further building something that necessarily. At least, someone has to be motivated and allowed to do it, not forced to solely focus on some measurements.

3-2-1: What top performers do, and how to deal with critics and detractors
The declining quality, overwhelmed customer service, and constant drops of “limited edition” “sustainable” clothing feel like textbook results of prioritizing profit. Not very long ago, General Atlantic secured a 45% stake in the company. Since then, it appears that product drops have increased, more Sézane pieces are now made in China, and the... See more

Expected elation. Society has built a world that defines what's appealing and what's not. What success should look like. I spent years chasing this idea, and achieved it. And never felt truly happy. Why? It seems so obvious, there are a million songs and movies about how wealth and fame aren't the end all be all for human states. Yet we pursue it... See more
I see this so often at the end of life. People who still try to handle things themselves that they clearly can no longer. It’s heartbreaking to watch someone struggle with vulnerability and at the same time, totally understandable.
We live in a culture which values individuality and ‘strength’ and learning how to rely... See more
