ok ok i hear you on the phoebe philo coldness but also - i feel like that's at least authentic to the brand? their whole thing is austerity and control. I agree it's a haughty position but also at a time where so many brands are trying to be your best friend, jumping into the comments section as if they were real people ('hey bestie' from a random CPG brand etc) or just doing the most in a way that feels so desperate sometimes, it's maybe a tiny bit refreshing to see a brand that's doing the opposite..? (Just brands not creators)

yes the best friend brand also wayyyyyyyy too much

hm i think PP to me is equally desperate to be untouchable non re latable. it’s not consistent. they said they’d never do wholesale and are now with every dep store
