I remember reading somewhere that during wars, clothes and makeup become even more important, because they are a form of self-expression at a time when people feel helpless. To sit around wringing our hands at things beyond our control is not helpful to anyone, so I say: dress up! have fun! If the world is burning, then dance in the flames, in your finery.
I love this article - I remember how the ritual of "Getting Ready" was often the best part of a club night! Like Louise commented, it's about being defiant in the face of the stoopid things in the world. It's about spreading kindness in our immediate circles and remembering that we can be defiant and send a message through our clothes.
Amazing 🪩
