It's 2011. You're at the Eaton's Centre. You just met Jay Manuel at the launch of his clothing line "Attitude" (exclusive to Sears Canada). Immediately after you go to Indigo to purchase Modelland. You finish the book in two days and it's one of the worst books you've ever read.

Well now. Isn’t this interesting. So much for the patriarchy.

Turns out that voracious reader as a child, the one who was reading for hours at a time, was actually undiagnosed ADHD girlie in hyperfocus.

Fashion history and conservation were my favorite classes. There is such a large amount of knowledge and skill that goes into preservation and they deserve every dollar to help their incredible work continue.
I had to take fashion conservation classes as part of my master’s degree and now I’m completely conservation-pilled. Pay those people.

Scoop! The Costume Institute has been quietly saving its money from the Met Gala, and soon it will have enough to be self-supporting. Which means.... nytimes.com/2026/05/01/style…

I fear part of the reason “the Met Gala exists to fund the arts” is such a hard concept for some people is because they don’t see the preservation and study and teaching of art as an art in itself.

The teacher shortage is because they are facing funding and resourcing shortages leading to terrible working conditions. My friend who has wanted to be a teacher her entire life is now considering quitting her dream career because she's burnt out and tired of dealing with issues.

Amongst the many reasons that I love the garments designed by Claire McCardell is her fastenings. They are always unexpected, rejecting the convenience of a zip for a neat row of buttons. This is a mid #1950s dinner dress with the most chic of bodices @museumatFIT #fashionhistory

Longtime Philly Mag writer Dan McQuade died on Wednesday. Here, his former editor Brian Howard explains how McQuade was one of the most gifted chroniclers of the Philadelphia experience.

Dan was one of the most entertaining people on the internet and knowing him irl was such a joy. Discussing weird signs, odd or obscure pop culture references, everything malls, sneakers, and so much more with him will be greatly missed. Truly RIP to one of the best.

It’s incredibly cool that even on something simple like a scarf, designer Dana Lee Brown makes it a point on product pages to name every single producer and location of every component that goes into its creation.
Here’s to supporting brands that do more of this in 2026
