• ep. 60 - miley cyrus + margiela = the fanbase is BOILING

  margiela just did the unthinkable: a celebrity face. miley cyrus. shot by paolo roversi. it reads like a commercial until you actually look at the pictures. they’re stripped back, almost ascetic. not pop-star gloss—image as study. and the paint on her skin isn’t theatrics; it’s bianchetto, the maison’s white-overpaint usually reserved for shoes, bags, even furniture—applied so wear and time become part of the design. now it’s on a body. the star becomes ground primer surface. suddenly you’re reading line the curve of a tabi the geometry of a 5ac not “miley.”i respect miley; she’s one of the few who actually knows how to rebrand without begging for redemption arcs. she treats brand like a medium —build strip build again which makes her a sharp match for margiela’s long game of transformation. roversi’s language helps: soft focus + long exposures + painterly light that dissolves edges. it turns fame down to a hum so the house codes can speak. this is a campaign that will divide and maybe that's intentional.and yes: margiela has been the house of anti-celebrity for decades. anonymity is a value here not a gimmick -------- masks and/or makeup and/or veils from the start + faces blurred so the clothes take center stage.a “first-ever face” is a big deal culturally and let me tell you the purists ARE LIVID!!! from my end - not being a purist myself - I believe that a fashion brand as a business has the need and responsibility to adapt to the times they're operating in and in this ECONOMY come on. MILEY OR NOT MILEY this campaign is great and roversi is always an incredible choice.FIND ME HERE ‪https://www.instagram.com/chez.amelie/FIND THE POD ON YT AND SUBSTI and rate it for the love of gods of fashion!!!!

• ep. 58 - fashion week politics with lucien pagès

  someone in my comment section said he’s “the man who turns water into perfume.” add to that: the liaison between vision and visibility. In this episode of the fashion archives podcast Lucien Pagès breaks down how perception becomes product, how to turn noise into meaning — and how to get invited to a fashion show (the most asked question in my dms I swear!!!!!)topics we got into:– pivoting from design to PR and reframing ambition– some brands are rich in sales but poor in story (and viceversa): how does PR balance that?– sacai and the reality of avantgarde fashion– designers as content creators– people sneaking into fashion shows– PR blacklisting — spoiler: it’s real– the industry’s obsession with romanticizing young male couturiers– and the question no one wants to ask: do we really need more fashion brands?the production quality of this episode is T-R-A-S-H (we had so many hiccups!). the conversation isn’t :)))full episode out now literally everywhere youtube substack spotify apple podcasts!!!find lucien here:https://www.instagram.com/lucienpages/find me here:https://www.instagram.com/chez.amelie/https://thefashionarchives.substack.com/https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-fashion-archives/id1764314268SAVE PRINT BY BUYING COOL FASHION BOOKS https://bit.ly/3G1ExEY

• ep. 56 - the origin of fashion blogging with diane pernet

  fashion critic filmmaker and forever icon diane pernet joins us for an unfiltered conversation about what it really means to build your own path in fashion.follow and rate the fashion archives podcast on spotify the same way you'd rate a restaurant experience on google xdxdxdbefore blogs, before Instagram, before content creators were even a thing—diane was documenting fashion on her own terms. With her signature black veil and unmatched point of view, she founded A Shaded View on Fashion Film, walked for Demna’s Balenciaga couture show, and helped shape a global conversation around fashion x film way before anyone else was doing it.She shares what it’s really like to stick around in fashion for decades—and how to stay relevant without selling your soul :)))We also get into:– her uniform and favorite designers– what it was like walking for Demna (and her thoughts on him heading to Gucci)– how she made her own space without asking for permission– what it actually takes to last in fashionDiane is the kind of guest I dreamed of having on when I started this podcast: someone who built something meaningful in this chaotic, ever-changing industry—without ever diluting her voice.This is part of the new chapter I’ve been working on behind the scenes: sitting down with people I admire—people who’ve done the work, taken risks, and stayed weird :)))))))so grateful to have MOTHER on the archivesyou'll find me here:https://www.instagram.com/chez.ameliehttps://www.youtube.com/@chez.amelie
