The trailer for "Reality Check: Inside America's Next Top Model," a docuseries about the controversial reality competition series, is out:

This cover is everything! 🎭😍 And of course, Tom is an amazing poet, so really you can’t go wrong here. Get those preorders in, friends!

Véronique Nichanian’s last collection for Hermès menswear, which she has designed since 1988. Subtle clothes with signature proportions & experimental textiles that were often weirder than they first appeared. Thank you.

WHAT: Hermès (fall 2026) OCCASIONS: whip practice or saying, “eternity,” with such rich timbre that time stops for everyone at the ball save for one person, your person, who glides toward you IF IT WERE A SCENT: library book unopened since 1932 EMOTIONAL RANGE: 🖤/❄️ #MJMfashionGuide

This is so lovely! 🥰

this is not how i felt at the end of Hamnet😭❤️‍🩹

Weekend vibes: An Evening at Home (1888) by the English artist Sir Edward John Poynter.

Just seeing Rachel Zoe compulsively shopping again makes me so happy🥰 #RHOBH

Reread Vanessa Lawrence’s debut while waiting for her newest novel to arrive. (It did, and I'm excited to get stuck in soon.) I feel like Ellipses is The Devil Wears Prada meets Hacks, but that might be because I can definitely picture Poppy Liu as Lily if it ever gets adapted for the screen. 😊

In case anyone else needs a little extra joy as I certainly do today, here’s Jessie Buckley beautifully covering Sinéad O'Connor.

Scottish fashion designer Bill Gibb was born #OnThisDay in 1943. He designed this A/W 1972 brown leather jacket with double-breasted fastening and matching maxi skirt, embellished with Sally MacLachlan silver-printed chrysanthemum sprays. Sold by Kerry Taylor Auctions. #fashionhistory

WORD FACT "Panis", the Latin word for bread, gives us the word "pantry" — our "bread room". It also gives us "companion". Com + panion = with + bread. A companion is somebody with whom you share bread.

Hey great news time isn't real www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...

“We’re navigating times that feel like a cultural pressure cooker, and fashion deserves to be a space for play. (…) Go into your closet with the same fervor of Florence and the Machine prancing across a Glastonbury stage circa 2015, and get dressed like you mean it—or, like, you don’t.”

WHAT: Dries van Noten (fall 2026) OCCASIONS: hang gliding or walking the hall of an abandoned Victorian house, humming Ring Around the Rosie, & dragging your fingers along the flocked wallpaper IF IT WERE A SCENT: Brutalist building in rain EMOTIONAL RANGE: perspicacious/wild #MJMfashionGuide

Rosebud is one of the best workshop facilitators I’ve ever had, and I will happily shout about how wonderful she is forever. This workshop sounds great, so if you can take it, I highly recommend you do! 😊

“With the poet, not so. One learns / To be spare of words; to make cold thrusts / Into the frosty air that comes.” That’s a gorgeous stanza right there.

Everyone got all the books they need in case we get snowed/frozen in this weekend? Maybe swing by the bookstore today, just in case.

I know we’re coming up on Valentine’s Day now, holiday wise, but still. Christmas window displays are some of my favourite things.

“That amount of talent has to be extraterrestrial! So, prove that you’re not. I don’t think you can.” As someone who has enjoyed his work since the days when Nana Saracen said “Matthew, you need to get a new friend!,” I hope Jesse Plemons gets another well-deserved Oscar nomination tomorrow.

Josh & Company give fantastic recommendations, so be sure to give them a shout if you need a new read!

Balenciaga shares a birthday with Dior as well & what better excuse to share a favourite, Vilmorin from 1952. The graduated daisy embroidery, more dense at the waist & trailing away towards the hem, stitched by artisans at Rebé makes it a beautiful collaboration @metmuseum.org #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

WHAT: Thom Browne (fall 2026) OCCASIONS: standing with a picnic basket in the morning fog under the mullioned window of your lover in Christ Church College (Oxford) or mockingly executing a will IF IT WERE A SCENT: pears in a paper bag EMOTIONAL RANGE: jaunty/yearning #MJMfashionGuide

On the one hand, everyone should be able to retire, and hopefully long before 86. On the other…Prue, no! The world needs your boozy bake inclinations and Architectural Digest sourced jewelry now, more than ever.

Always a good time for Lucille Clifton

“born / Not with silver but love spoons / In our mouth” Those lines are cracking my heart open over here!

The masterful maker Cristobal Balenciaga was born on this day in 1895, creator of so many mid century beauties. This is an early #1950s cocktail dress of pale gold brocade, filigrees of silver forking across the fabric #museobalenciaga #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

Those final lines are beautiful, but I especially love the imagery and feeling of “and the opening of peonies and summer heat.”

“Dedicated horoscope-reader or not, when it comes to jewellery right now, the zodiac is where it’s at. It’s why you can’t enter a jewellery store without seeing stars.” I have to say, I love the balloon animal take on the symbols of the zodiac. 💎✨

that time of the year again😌🍿

Your lovely bit of joy for the day! 🥰

American modern dance pioneer Ruth St. Denis was born #OnThisDay in 1879. She wore this blue/green sequined bodice with a green lamé skirt in The Peacock. Originally dating from 1914, the costume has been altered over time. Ruth St. Denis UCLA Costume Collection. #fashionhistory

“For the Valentino maison, red is not just a colour. It’s a non-fading mark, a logo, an iconic element of the brand, a value."

“Since the jubilant conclusion of Paris Fashion Week, which left us all humming ‘Rhythm Is A Dancer’ and dreaming of arms full of dry cleaning, the monogrammed Chanel shirt has become something of a Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants item on the Hollywood circuit.”

Alexandra Byrne’s costumes for the 2020 adaptation of Emma offered a beautiful interpretation of dress. They were informed by extant objects although not intended to be faithful recreations. This homage to a c1817 pink spencer was especially memorable @chertseymuseum.bsky.social #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡
