What I’d Buy from the Fall Shows (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Fall is in the air. From fashion week content to the first turning leaves to crisper mornings to pumpkin spice lattes and dare I say even a few holiday ads. It is time to cozy into what is absolutely the best season of the year. Last week I shared South Asian fall shows to catch, all of which I would absolutely buy. This week, I widened the aperture.

What matters is building the muscle to notice, and then notice again.<a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!nfo1!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3
