Dear fashion writers who want to write about music,
The next time you’re going to write a gushing profile of an up-and-coming starlet that’s full of condescending comparisons to other musicians, you must—must—actually listen to the people in whose directions you are throwing shade between the assignment and your filing the piece. Because it’s really, really, really fucking clear as a bell when you’re operating off half-baked assumptions gleaned from nights out when you’re burning the way-past-midnight oil yet “curiously awake.”
Also, just stop using Terry Richardson. For the love of God, talk about cliché.
