Hello! I didn't subscribe last month but this week I am finishing reading all your posts chronologically. What a delight your writing is, as your perspective! It's inspiring reading someone writing about clothes decoupled from wealth and consumerism. I am poor and secondhand shopping is what made brands more expensive than zara available to me. And this brought back my love for clothes, which I felt as a young person looking at CD booklets or when it was time to study daily life in History class, but stopped feeling on social media days. This to say, your vision reaches me through your writing and I connect with your perspective. Whatever what you decide to write about next, I know it will make me reflect. You are appreciated here! Have a good Sunday 😊

Scriptwriters write the movie they want to see. You can write what you would want to read. ❤️

Wow I really need to sit with that cartoon! I'm delighted I found your Substack in time to hear that conversation.

Congratulations on your new space! I just read your Tibi article and thought it was excellent, but I'm completely with you on not knowing what to say next. The pressure we put on ourselves to share the buzziest, most polished content at the most perfect time is unfair and unsustainable. I personally love reading your introspections and deliberations no matter what they have to do with the current fashion zeitgeist (if anything at all). Please take your time. 🖤

Congratulations, O Oracle, and I hope setting up the new store feels as much a thrilling adventure as it does a slog.

Sooo good to hear from you Tiia and how wonderful with a new store. I cannot wait to learn more about it. As you know a 2nd hand store - in just the perfect size and location - is also my dream. Bur back to you 🥳 The world needs your writing and it needs you to sell what already had a life or two 🫶🏼😌 if this is also what your new store will be about. I think I need to visit Helsinki again soon 🇫🇮
