The thing about fashion is, the minute you think something is disgusting and passé is the minute it is becoming extremely cool again. They key is to not worry about any of it and just wear what you like deep in your soul. If you can do that, you can have style.

@chloeikennedy As someone who was 12 when Clueless came out, I have to tell you that they were at least a year behind on trends. I wore a Clueless outfit on the first day of school in 7th grade, almost a year before it was released. It wasn't until years later that it became a fashion thing.

During the Condé Nast gossip rush a few weeks ago, one high-level editor posited that as much as the magazines are trying to change, the business side still doesn’t know how to sell anything but elitism. @chantalfdez lays it out:

The only way to win in big media is if you can be both prestige & mass and also, at the same time, break news, make news, be funny, be smart about dumb things, analyze, advise, crack video, crack scripted, own podcasts, hire personalities with followings, and don’t forget about.
