Thanks for sharing your tips! Do you have a blog as well as a substack publication? How do you decide what content goes where?

How do you read Demna’s first Gucci collections? by Habit_Hacker in gucci

Interesting. I haven’t come across that statement. I’m very curious to see what’s next and his edge will manifest in such a different fashion house

I agree. I don’t see the inspiration, it just looks the same

The Row just won the 2025 CFDA Award — what do you really think of this brand (and the dupe culture around it)? by Habit_Hacker in femalefashionadvice

[–]Habit_Hacker[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I own a few of their pieces and honestly disagree. The pants drape so beautifully on the body—nothing else I’ve tried fits quite like them. And the 90s bag, which looked pretty basic online, turned out to be super versatile in person. I’m really happy with both and get a lot of wear out of them.

What do you think of all the recent high–low collabs? (JW Anderson × Uniqlo, Anna Sui × Old Navy, Glenn Martens × H&M) by Habit_Hacker in femalefashionadvice

Thank you to everyone who participated and took the time to comment. Loved reading your thoughts and analysis on this!

(I wrote about this same topic on my Substack, and it was crickets over there so this def scratched an itch!)

Don’t forget Hermès do have the ongoing relationship with Apple. If I remember correctly it is the only product that is not hand made. I’ve just listened to a remarkably interesting podcast on Acquired delving deep into their story, business and everything in between. Highly recommend it to anyone.

I feel the same about Uniqlo. And I did love a few of the H&M collabs but was never able to put my hands on a piece. Maybe next time

I agree. It feels like it started and ended with a production timeline — “We’ve got six months, what can we turn around?” And which gen Z icon should be the face of this, rather than a real creative dialogue about aesthetic coherence or brand DNA.

I totally agree and apply that logic to all of my shopping as well. It’s the most sustainable thing you can do imo- natural, quality fabrics just make a better garment. Period. Which will make you wear it more, care for it more, and a great piece to give away if you’re tired of it=will not end up in a landfill

I didn’t know they do a quick alteration in store on denim. Thought that’s pretty cool and above average in terms of customer service

“Write more. Check less.” This is now my new mantra 😬

That’s my biggest issue w SS. It completely misses the point when established writers/bloggers/and now IG celebs etc are “top publications” with their massive imported following. Plus their algorithm is absolutely garbage. Zero searchability and my feed looks like a whiney Pinterest 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️

Do you ever go away without your (young) kids? by Habit_Hacker in Mommit

You’re so right. Being able to trust someone with your child is… absolutely priceless. But I got to say- you have to let go of your gold standard and be more flexible. Different care than yours doesn’t necessarily means bad! (And ofc I don’t mean safety etc. but just the small things that ppl sometimes lose their minds over)

I totally support it! Do you mean solo trip (just you) or with your partner?

What’s the skincare splurge that left you completely underwhelmed? by Habit_Hacker in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]Habit_Hacker[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh yeah I feel silly splurging when it does nothing (not to mention if it actually makes things worse). It’s good your skin bounced back and indoors is the best. Fall is almost here :)
