and you're the first to know.
hey, how are you? writing this from my hotel room in Paris, I arrived last night for a quick trip and some meetings for PFW Men’s, and you’re the first to know.
it’s been 18 months since i’ve been here, Paris, tu m’as manqué (i’ve missed you). fun fact, my french is at 90%, I just need to practice more. any recommendations of how to maintain a language I spent a decade learning would be much appreciated.
i’ve also had a bunch of questions about my shirt from this week’s episode of I Have Notes — the snap denim shirt from my favourite brand, Y/Project. unfortunately, just weeks after filming this episode they announced they are closing — and it sounds like it was due to the growing issue of financial sustainability in contemporary fashion.

lesson of the week

please keep sharing far and wide to get the word out!
bullying works, btw.
ok not bullying per se, but asking nicely. i want this to be a continued dialogue for us all — you guys asked for IHN in podcast format, and you got it.
