There was internet on my bus back from Boston last night, which led to loads YouTubing in place of much needed sleep.
I found this - a really well made video of Erin Wasson circa 2008 working on Alex Wang’s AW08 collection, dressing models, smoking cigarettes, talking about AMFAR and explaining her decision to document everything on video, “I have a really shitty short term memory and when I’m old with Alzheimer’s I want to be able to like remember how dope and youthful I was.”
Hear, hear.

She seems to have a chronic lack of a sense-of-humor, though I guess that 'homeless' comment she made a while back was inadvertently pretty funny.

I remember when Erin was first in Vogue and had androgynous short hair and the prettiest face since Christy Turlington, and I wanted so much to like her.
But then I got wind of her forced badass routine and general tactlessness ("when I’m old with Alzheimer’s I want to be able to like remember how dope and youthful I was"?? STFU and STFD, Erin) ... plus the jewelry-design stealing, and now every single time I see her I roll my eyes. She is absolutely insufferable.

Last March, a few designers embraced the one off ad. Ads are expensive, and if you've got the momentum of a Rodarte or a Phillip Lim, unnecessary (for now). Unless of course the economy tanks. One of the designers who gave the idea a shot, Zac Posen, shot this ad… Read More
