Our clothes are a second skin, they perform so many functions - I think it’s a sign of depth, not superficiality, to care deeply about them.

I find that people who don’t care about their clothes/what they wear tend to live more unexamined lives, or lives which revolve around utility and convenience. This in turn usually makes them seem chained to a treadmill of some sort.

Perhaps this is an unkind judgement, but I’m yet to be proven wrong.

The exception is of course my mother, who has little depth but a communist-survival level of appreciation for clothes and shoe care. She’s been personally keeping the local cobbler in business for years.

You handle writing about these topics w/ aplomb! I hadn't watched a MiuMiu film in a minute this was quite good. I was just about to watch Les Choses de la vie - such good understated style.
