A blog post about my ambivalently sweet relationship with fashion.
“And I’m not ashamed of all the different parts in me
And I like cross-pollinating the communities

“Mass culture always contains cleaned-up, camera-ready variations of the underground, incorporating just enough of what’s “edgy” to maintain its own relevance. Sometimes – if we’re lucky – these transformations result in mass culture that’s more interesting than usual, that entertains in a way that feels surprising, and that perhaps even helps spread progressive values. But if a political idea is showing up in mass culture, that’s because it’s happening somewhere else in a more concentrated, grassroots way.” - Sara Marcus
