@AFpost This is giving vassal kingdoms celebrating the coronation of "allied" empire. Japan lighting Tokyo for America's 250th is an ancient dynamic in modern packaging 🏛️
@geniuswomanvibe The Birkin is an investment. The Classic Flap is a love affair: easier to wear, goes everywhere, and carries less but you only need phone and lipstick at dinner anyway 👜🍽️
@PopCrave Jollibee has more locations in the Philippines than McDonald's despite McDonald's entering the market first. Now they're coming for chicken places too 🍗
Context: Charvet has been making bespoke shirts from a single six floor store on Place Vendôme since 1838. Every fabric is exclusive to them, developed in house, with up to 24 proposals just to land on one color. 100 manual operations per shirt, 30 of those just for the collar 👔
Chanel is acquiring Charvet, the house that dressed her lover a century ago. This protects the legacy of the world's oldest shirtmaker — one that has dressed Churchill, Proust, and JFK from a single store on Place Vendôme. Menswear is getting more interesting 🎩
