Simple things we’ll leave for someone else. Me and things I couldn’t touch in Paris. 🧛 That was the day I wore these @commedesgarcons shorts for the first time, with a skirt I found in a vintage store (also Japanese, but I have no idea what brand). An @undercover_lab jacket worn backwards because I was too lazy to wear a bra, and @loewe shoes. I also saw @anndemeulemeester_official at her store opening, which I was invited to. Didn’t play chess because I’m terrible at it. Read a difficult book and barely remembered anything. Saw a strange metro station. Went to a party and left almost immediately. Went to the Loewe re-see, took a picture of Conj, and she took one of me. Saw someone writing notes for the buying team. 28 Oct 2026

Capri postcards you didn’t ask for 🤍 After spending the entire summer working nonstop and barely traveling, I suddenly decided I needed to see Naples and Capri before Paris Fashion Week. So I left my parents a week earlier than planned and escaped to Italy. All for this. 🤍 28 Oct 2026

For this story with @devon.teusch I took inspiration from Pina Bausch’s Masurca Fogo (1998) In this piece, dancer Julie Shanahan walks on stage festooned in a dress made of colorful balloons. She addresses the audience to tell a brief, inconsequential story about her old schoolteacher before a group of men approach her with lit cigarettes and methodically pop the balloons one by one. As a huge admirer of both Pina Bausch and Devon’s work, I wanted to explore another side of Devon, not only as an extraordinary ballerina, but as a performer, a character, a woman who can tell a story without dancing. if you can tell that I styled balloons 😂 cretive direction and styling by me. What a beautiful day we had together. 🤍 Photography by Jane Dylan Cody @janedylancody Fashion by Stefania Checkalina @velvetgripstyle Production by @allgood_nyc Hair by Shin Arima @shinarima at Home Agency @homeagency Make-Up by Jessi Butterfield @jessibutterfield at Walter Schupfer Management @walterschupfermanagement using Valentino Beauty Set Design by Anabelle Cole @anabellemcole DP Ali Asperheim @alibama_shepherd Photographer’s assistant Sam Schmieg Stylist’s assistant Adlet Bermukhamedov @adletfashion Wardrobe Interns Enelly Entchev @enellyentchev and Tessa Burch Location Bon Studio @bonstudionyc 22 Oct 2026

@mauriziocattelan vs @gerhard.richter and Baudrillard in my mind. afternoon at the museum in Berlin. It began with a dress. A woman at the entrance informed me that my dress was, in fact, a coat and therefore had to be removed. I explained that it was a dress. She disagreed. We argued for a minute. Two minutes later decided to ignore her, I escaped into the gallery. Somewhere between Gerhard Richter and Maurizio Cattelan, another intervention. I was making a small video of the painting and the 7 year old kid was in a frame ( his back actually ) when a teacher accompanying a group of children informed me that I couldn’t film them. Suddenly everyone was watching everyone. A perfectly ordinary moment but make it surveillance - you are perfectly fine, but we are watching you to behave. I missed my capitalist NYC for a seconds. almost born in Soviet atmosphere, gave me chills. And the children? An excellent early lesson in suspicion. Having just finished Baudrillard Simulacra and Simulation, I found the whole exciting. A dress becomes a coat. My creative eye becomes a threat. Visitors of museum devoted to contemporary art become suspicious of you. 21 Oct 2026

For this story with @devon.teusch I took inspiration from Pina Bausch’s Nelken (Carnations), bringing together two worlds: classical ballet, with its discipline and perfection, and Pina’s Tanztheater, where movement becomes something much more human, emotional, and theatrical. As a huge admirer of both Pina Bausch and Devon’s work, I wanted to explore another side of Devon, not only as an extraordinary ballerina, but as a performer, a character, a woman who can tell a story without dancing. What a beautiful day we had together. 🤍 Photography by Jane Dylan Cody @janedylancody Fashion by Stefania Checkalina @velvetgripstyle Production by @allgood_nyc Hair by Shin Arima @shinarima at Home Agency @homeagency Make-Up by Jessi Butterfield @jessibutterfield at Walter Schupfer Management @walterschupfermanagement using Valentino Beauty Set Design by Anabelle Cole @anabellemcole DP Ali Asperheim @alibama_shepherd Photographer’s assistant Sam Schmieg Stylist’s assistant Adlet Bermukhamedov @adletfashion Wardrobe Interns Enelly Entchev @enellyentchev and Tessa Burch Location Bon Studio @bonstudionyc 20 Oct 2026

Chicago in September with parents. dad wanted to see AC/DC - as parents danced to their music at their wedding, so it was a nostalgic trip back to youth. Very romantic, until they found themselves surrounded by a bunch of rednecks leaving me alone to attend weird experimental music concerts Half the musicians were New Yorkers of course. Back in New York. Some party. conversations. how much everyone overworking themselves. when did exhaustion become a status symbol? perhaps the problem is that everything now needs to have one. breathe in, breathe out, stop dramatizing. Paris. zero optimism about our collective future. But thats why the present matters? productivity and social recognition have become the primary measures of human worth? Imagine being surrounded by people who love you, support you, and are proud of you and you are a total loser. That’s a real happiness. Hierarchy sucks. make strange creative things, wander through streets, and occasionally do absolutely nothing productive. Did I confuse growing up with becoming predictable? 18 Oct 2026
