Feeling overwhelmed? Perhaps we all are
Portrait of contemporary madness.
Milan men’s fashion week.
The buzz of Prada on sustainability.
Doing our work “at its best” doesn’t change reality.
Doesn’t solve anything.
A five-year-old child arrested in the US.
What is innocence in the age of surveillance?
Tear-gas shadows across playgrounds.
Twelve thousand people killed in Iran —
grief measured in hashtags, silence in policy halls.
The world scrolls.
Paris men’s fashion week.
Dior: what’s the point?
Identity disrupted, a punkish take designed for someone else’s customers.
A cyclone, Harry, devastates Sicily —
a climate out of control is no longer news.
Runways glowing while real lives bleed outside the glass.
In Minneapolis on January 24, Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old ICU nurse and US citizen, was shot and killed by federal immigration enforcement agents during protests against a swelling ICE operation — the second fatal shooting by federal agents in the city this month. Videos and witness accounts show he was filming and attempting to help others when the confrontation escalated, raising intense public anger and prompting investigations and lawsuits over denied evidence access and use of force.
The official narrative and the evidence clash.
The streets erupt in outrage.
Protesters push back as cities shudder.
The runways continue:
models beneath spotlights, ideal silhouettes, future trends.
In the streets:
crowds march in frozen cities, shouting,
“We want justice.”
“We want dignity.”
One world churns in couture,
the next bleeds on asphalt.
Israel admits at least 70,000 people killed in Gaza —
numbers turned into headlines, then scrolls.
But what is life without empathy?
What is fashion without empathy?
What is style when bodies are collateral?
When governments shoot their own citizens?
When children are detained? Or when faraway wars count their dead by the thousands?
And when horrors are normalised, and a global war feels closer?
This is not future fiction.
This is now.
A portrait of contemporary madness.
And still — the fashion industry speaks of next season’s must-have.
Feeling overwhelmed? Perhaps we all are.
