The author, sustainability writer and ex-Highsnobiety Style Editor describes his philosophy via eight items from his wardrobe, and reflects on what's changed since his fashion editor days.
One thing interesting is that Alec is probably one of the rare male fashion writers talking in-depth about his relationship with clothes and the industry producing it. There is no one on the top of my head I can't think of. I am saying this because, even though overcompsumtion is not gendered, it always feels like the people targeted or adressed to are mostly women.
Agree! I also think it’s part of the age old ‘women as the root of all evil’ narrative. Eve ate the apple in the garden of Eden, now Eve shops too much.
