NEW DEPT: Things that have NOTHING to do with You-Know-Who

FASHION WEEK, NEW YORK CITY, 2025: WHO WORE IT BEST?

As I was sitting here trying to think of something to write that wouldn’t make us all miserable, I saw before me, glowing in the midst of endless infuriating headlines about the most horrible people imaginable, A BEACON.

Just as I was about to conclude that there was absolutely NOTHING that Trump/Musk were not in the middle of wrecking, I was reminded of something that can not be wrecked: IT’S FASHION WEEK!

I apologize for being late.

Yes, we have entered into that annual multi-month international event that begins in New York, then moves swiftly on to London, Milan and Paris. It is the time of year when people who know the most about human apparel go to enormous pains to show the rest of us how ill-equipped we actually are when it comes to ideas for dressing ourselves.

AS WE SPEAK, LONDON FASHION WEEK has already begun. But here I was, so distracted by the most disgusting people in the country doing whatever they want without consequences that I had completely forgotten to peruse the wisdom that NEW YORK FASHION WEEK had to offer.

As they say, (and what did they ever know about anything?) better late than never. So please join me on a dive in to a total distraction from the terror of watching, in real time, unspeakably awful, awful, awful, people as they dissemble the functioning government of what used to be a democracy. Instead, for a few minutes let us examine the incomprehensible ideas the fashion industry has been working on for the coming year.

Yes, it is time to play:
