Irony, normcore, trauma-core, the end of good taste — all of it.Meanwhile, behind the scenes, Demna and Alessandro Michele were building something.

the polished and over-produced aesthetic is dead. ppl want relatable and raw. we're craving connection not perfection. show your process and give your audience a glimpse of what it’s like behind the scenes.
find ur niche communities forget trying to be everywhere at once. it's time to get specific. smaller niche communities are where the real engagement is happening. these spaces allow you to connect deeply with people who actually care about what you’re offering.tip: join my discord hihi
