MARNI JAM <3 🌞 having been a long time @marni family member my heart sings at this collision of @asliceofbambi , @sillyshilli , and my likes. it is also a new expression of @marni ‘s commitment to seeing the beauty in all people with its size extension going up to a IT58 for the first time, as well, as my shared vision of the industry i wish to see. this collection is a reflection of the joy that summer brings: a slurry of sweat, sweetness, and surrender. i am very excited to share this with the world thank you to my sweet @asliceofbambi for the invitation into this process, i love you and i love our freaky universe <3

some glimmers

Paloma Elsesser (@palomija ) has starred on the cover of the world’s most prominent magazines, walked down revered runways, collaborated with some of the industry’s greatest, and last year, received the Model of the Year award. However, that’s just the beginning of what she’s here for. “I came here to try and be an agitator and be a vessel for thought,” Elsesser says, where her eloquent advocacy—for industry representation, diversity, and expanded and inclusive language around bodies and mental health—is beautifully truthful. Driven by a sense of personal responsibility and sustained by her community, collaborative outlook, and curious nature, Elsesser shows how modeling is more than a pose; it requires deeper connections and the foundational building blocks of creativity, evident in her role modeling and writing, as much as in her fashion work.
