“The weirder you’re going to behave, the more normal you should look. It works in reverse, too. When I see a kid with three or four rings in his nose, I know there is absolutely nothing extraordinary about that person.”
P.J. O'Rourke
this quote from Carl Jung hits so hard.
“The world is full of people suffering from the effects of their own unlived life. They become bitter, critical, or rigid, not because the world is cruel to them, but because they have betrayed their own inner possibilities. The artist who never makes art becomes cynical about those who do. The lover who never risks loving mocks romance. The thinker who never commits to a philosophy sneers at belief itself. And yet, all of them suffer, because deep down they know: the life they mock is the life they were meant to live.”
I love the story being told on the runway. You can see exactly who this collection was made for. The girls who go to the Afters.

In 1991, artist Bryan Charnley stopped taking his schizophrenia medication… and painted 17 self-portraits documenting his mind unraveling in real time.
First one: calm, realistic.
Last one: pure chaos — face melting, reality gone.
Art doesn’t get more real than this. 🖤
