2025/07/17

This episode of “Unpolished” will be about archive as culture.I’m going to dive into the fashion world’s obsession with archived pieces, from early Helmut Lang and Margiela to the Y2K wave flooding TikTok. Is it fashion knowledge, aesthetic elitism, or just a curated identity flex? We’ll talk nostalgia, taste, resale markets, and the fine line between loving the past and living in it.Because let’s face it: everyone wants to look archived — but who’s daring enough to look new?

This episode of “Unpolished” will be about the latest Balenciaga’s show in Paris for its fall/winter 2025 collection.Many on social media said that Demna once again fooled us all and managed to get to his point, which is being critical towards society and at the same time being detached from the modern meaning of “high fashion”.I did have my doubts this was a collection to celebrate and was wondering “Is it provoking the real aim of fashion today?
