Random recs: Marc by Sofia, Bill Cunningham’s archive, a perfect high-neck V
A few snippets of digital ephemera and IRL recommendations I’ve enjoyed lately…
1/ SOFIA COPPOLA has made a MARC JACOBS doc, which will be shown this month at the Venice Film Festival. I’m gagging for tons of 90s Marc footage, NGL
2/ BILL CUNNINGHAM’S archive is getting a permanent NYC home. His photographs, contact sheets and memorabilia will be housed at the New York Historical in Manhattan, to be readily available to researchers and scholars. First up, an exhibition of his “Evening Hours” charity gala photos later this year. Read more here.
3/ When did quiet spaces get loud?
4/ FUNMI FETTO’S GOODIFFERENT salon. File under “why did no-one think of this before?”, writer and editor Funmi Fetto’s genius idea makes a Black hair salon (at Liberty no less) more like a (non-wanky) member’s club. When I was researching Face Values, I became aware of the unsatisfactory Black hair experience not just in UK salons, but throughout Europe. Let’s just say, mainstream salons have a long way to go when it comes to caring for Black hair, but Funmi (below) and Goodifferent are planning to make things a whole lot more enjoyable. Read more on WWD.
5/ What to wear when you’re 5’2” but identify as a 5’10” off-duty supermodel…
6/ How fashion-adjacent ice-cream became the hottest accessory of the summer. And is Coach priming itself to steal Ralph’s hospitality crown? (Good luck with that.)
7/ Too early to be thinking about Johnstons of Elgin’s high neck cashmere V?
