I had the utmost pleasure talking to and writing about the iconic @haifawehbe for GQ Middle East. 🥹

Ever since the 2000s, Haifa Wehbe was lusted after, vilified, and reduced to silly little tabloid headlines, but through it all, she remained the same ♥️

Unfortunately I will never be the girl who holds things in. Forever confrontational, forever vocal. If I don't talk about it, I don't care.

the technique sarah used to construct this dress reminded me of faig ahmed's work on azerbaijani carpets.

You have to wear your clothes and use your perfumes and eat that delicious food and dance to the music and talk to that person and live your life

Oh, Mona Tougaard’s look at Givenchy FW26 was an adaptation of a painting by Filipino artist Olan Ventura!

very interesting to observe how the addition of a lacquered material can amplify a look’s sinister undertone 🙂‍↕️

stop waiting for art to hook you up. Sometimes things need to bore you; sometimes you need to figure them out. We’ve forgotten that boredom and errors lead to creativity

People who genuinely like themselves are ruthless with access because solitude is not a punishment to them.

[Freyy @Freyy_is]

nobody told me that a creative career would require a level of people pleasing and politics that i genuinely do not have in me.

[g @34rths]

I reconnect with people easily even after years of not talking because no friendship of mine is truly severed unless otherwise stated and there will always be a place in my life for everyone I once met

Ignoring shade is so classy. Like pls go talk to yourself, you look crazy.

[jonzing. @ehisssss]

people don't really understand that if a person is loyal to you, most times it's because of their morals and character.. not because you are special.

[Nithya Shri @Nithya_Shrii]

Another form of self-care that people don’t talk about is removing your presence from places and people when you don’t feel loved, valued, or respected.

“AI is the future!”

Nah, AI is YOUR future because you’re a lazy, talentless wannabe. I still have a properly functioning brain so I’m gonna keep using that.

none of the people who have tried to belittle me live a life l admire. and that's enough for me.

[phantéau @_wangwe]

The thing with trying is, either the thing works and you get to reap the fruits of your ideas or it fails and it stops taking up prime real estate in your brain, and you can move on to better things. Being scared of failing or waiting for the perfect moment is a betrayal of self.

A healthy diet of slow cinema can undo your short-form video brain damage, I’m so serious

[brit @booritney]

taste has two dimensions
1. knowing what you like
2. being able to articulate why

[Remi Adekoya @RemiAdekoya1]

You can’t claim to be open-minded if you don’t entertain the possibility you are completely wrong in your thinking.
