@cestpashera lmaoooo no way, that is just intellectual laziness. That's the problem I have with "video essays" in general -- it's just regurgitating and summarizing existing articles and arguments, no new ideas or theses is actually being put forth.

American urban planning sucks because deep down, everyone with real power believes these 2 things:
1. Cities are amenities that exist to serve nearby suburbanites.

I really love Kohichi Watanabe's design intellect at Rainmaker FW24 — classic Japanese silhouettes with a Western, Hygge-ish sensibility. So gentle and conscious, spacious, meditative. These are clothes meant to be worn and loved forever.
