might make this into a couple of one-shots??

imagining WIFE!READER as an orion carloto type, who balances modelling and writing, and makes tiktoks in the same vain of alanabananaxox on tiktok (she's been my no.1 tiktoker since 2021) and sotce.

met wife!reader at a runway after party of an up and coming new york indie brand ( sandy liang, khaite, bode etc. )

proposes to you with the blythe doll you had been obsessing over, dressed in a wedding dress and hand-customised by a popular etsy dealer with quite a high rate like this girl on tt

encouraged by jack to do a ‘what’s in my ( miu miu joie leather ) bag’ video on tiktok to help campaign for kamala akin to this video of anne hathaway but with a different vibe.

jack is ultimate embarrassing hard launcher bofy, leaving in all his girlfriends giggles that come from his chaotic antics when filming his videos.

wife!reader loves to slather jack’s face in biologique recherche’s “masque vivant”, he complains that it smells like rotting meat😹😹😹😹😹.

jack would be always on that damn phone during your runway shows, recording each time you pass him by in the catwalk.

would be the absolute opposite of marriage-shy.

unpopular opinion this man would be asking about marriage, a solid 3 months in ( jfk and jackie married in a YEAR )

fucks UP a rotisserie chicken.

forwards you his tweets before and asks if they’re good enough to post.

smells like aesop musk and of herbal deodorant.

wife!reader buys rick owen’s black and white t-shirts and slacks for jack, and jack’s absolutely baffled when he learns the price tag.

love language is buying wife!reader drinks whenever and wherever they are: hot chocolate in central park, home-delivers you a sab benedetto sparkling water because he had a meeting at cipriani downtown, and always orders a polo bar punch for you prior to your arrival to your shared weekly dinner date at the polo bar on 55th st.

instigates a24 marathons on friday nights, much to the dismay of your prior night plans ( you are more of a criterion collection girl and have held a subscription since you were a freshman in college )

( clumsily ) slips lana del rey lyrics into sexting and dirty talk.

husband!jack and wife!reader texts go like this:

jack is horrific at low impact pilates, he needs to be near a body of water.

he wears your prized doublesoul x orion caroloto ‘lamb’ socks around your woodfloored high-rise despite your varied attempts at hiding them from him.

constantly frets over you during society galas, which is quite convenient due to your tempered social anxiety and your forgetful memory of high society etiquette.

immediately brings you to meet the family, for which you were completely unprepared for ( i’m imagining something reminder of that one story of meghan markle meeting princess kate middleton in ripped jeans and bare feet )

jack loves to wear your 100% cotton brandy melville pointelle tanks despite them being comically tiny for his frame.

would have an innocence kink.

he gets intensely flushed when called his proper full name: john bouvier kennedy schlossberg, wife!reader abuses this to the HIGHEST degree!!!

the first time he entered you apartment he was constantly paranoid of breaking anything because your house was littered with ceramics from brooklyn under-ground designers and clay lamb figurines.

he NEEDS his beauty Zzzzzzz or else.

plays with your very expensive westman atelier blushes like a toddler.

sickly devoted to you.

you both want to adopt a lamb despite living in a HIGH-RISE apartment.

sends pics captioned with anaïs nin lewd quotes.

he would think whole foods was stupidly over priced but would purchase his groceries there in spite of his opinions.

has hyperfixations on old-hollywood women which causes you to be snippy at him for exactly 2-3 hours ex. jack’s current hyper fixation on audrey hepburn being his doppelgänger.

wife!reader definitely participated in that egg cracking trend where girls would crack an egg on their boyfriends head.

would love caring for your hair and doing your curly girl hair routine if you had one.

wife!reader does small yet viral shoots for brands like mirror palais, the row, and loewe.

manhandles you ( lovingly ) without even trying.

mans is a chronic diptyque candle lighter.

loves to be coddled and cradled as a grown man…

plays with your van cleef stack before stage when he’s nervous about his speech landing correctly

uses his family connections to get his girl courted by the high-ticket fashion brands: schiaparelli, chanel, dior, yves saint laurent etc.

Brakul participating in the khaitwrestling tournament in the city of Wardin’s annual games. He is grappling with his beloathed rival, a Titen youth with a cooler beard named Gijo Sihgawe.

Brakul is using a technique where he attempts to gain a solid hold of his opponent's body and will then spur his khait into a run, using the animal’s momentum to drag the opponent off his mount. This can be a risky endeavor (as one attempting this maneuver might be wrenched off their OWN khait if their foe has a stronger grip) but is considered rather impressive and crowd pleasing when performed successfully. 

Khait wrestling is a sport that was brought to broader Imperial Wardi culture via the Hill Tribes, and is very popular in the west and south of the region. The Wardi brand of khait wrestling is similar in basic form and structure to its progenitor traditions, but has developed into its own unique variant. The goal of the sport is to force the other rider to dismount (via pulling or shoving them off) and to lead both khait out of the ring.

Wardi khait wrestling is performed in a wide, circular ring. Combatants begin with their khait standing parallel, and attempt to shove or pull opponents off of their mount.��Fighting halts if the riders step out of the ring, and both must reposition themselves at the center before the match can resume.

Combatants are only permitted to fight via grappling. Punches, kicks, intentional twisting of extremities, attacks with the spur, jabs at the eyes, intentional trampling, etc are prohibited (and called by referees. Their calls can be incredibly controversial). Notably, the pulling of hair is generally Not outright prohibited, so longhaired riders usually wear their hair tight to the scalp or under a cap, and many devoted wrestlers keep their heads shaved. 

A match ends when one combatant has forced their opponent to the ground AND successfully leads their khait out of the ring while remaining mounted. If a dismounted rider manages to regain control of their khait before it is led away, the match continues. Bouts between equally matched opponents can be very lengthy. Official competitions held in annual games tend to have time limits, at which point the match is scored by referees based on a point system (usually tallying number of falls and scoring points per certain types of grapples).

Khait wrestling requires strong, calm, well trained and exceptionally even-tempered khait that can remain unpanicked as their riders fight atop them. Most are mares or geldings, though occasional intact bulls with particularly gentle temperaments make appearances. Hornless or blunt-horned khait are preferred (some local games only accept hornless) as even the most placid khait's horns can become dangerous to their wrestling riders. A khait that intentionally injures another rider or khait (through biting or kicking) will be banned from official events, and often become fodder for sacrifice (khait are rare as animal sacrifices, and also considered among the best for the same reason- their high value).

Saddles are made especially for this sport, and are designed specifically to Not provide significant security to the rider (they are flat and lack stirrups), making riders entirely reliant on strength and balance. Riders wear loose trousers (quite uncommon in the region, where robes or skirts are generally worn), belted at the waist to avoid being yanked off during a bout. They wear high laced riding boots with small spurs.

This and other mounted events are usually accessible only to wealthy athletes (or athletes with wealthy sponsors), as there is a significant cost barrier to khait ownership to begin with in the cities, and animals suitable for this sport are particularly expensive. These matches are functionally a showcase of wealth and power for their participants. Though riders must wear simple clothing and are provided basic saddles, their mounts may be lavishly groomed and ornamented. The costuming shown here is actually on the less ostentatious end of the spectrum for a typical city tournament.

Additional notes:

Brakul's khait here is one of his favorites (he has twelve), a huge, shaggy mare named Emense, a Wardi word that translates close to 'beloved'.

Brakul has participated in nine of Wardin's annual games, and placed first in khait wrestling three times. He enjoys modest local fame for this and has used most of his winnings to buy more khait and khait accessories.

Goji is a relative newcomer and won first in the last two annual tournaments. This drawing depicts moments before his second win, where Brakul does, in fact, fail at his awesome maneuver and get wrenched off his khait.

Goji rides an intact bull, a relative rarity. He is an exceptionally placid and gentle creature, named 'Moose' after a strange and exotic beast from the north.

Khait wrestling among the Hill Tribes has dozens of local variants, but commonalities that distinguish these from the adopted Wardi tradition is that the goal is specifically to knock off the other rider AND mount their khait AND THEN lead both from the ring, and that it's done with actual saddles.

Bigotry

C: wears $840.00 Khaite NY Lorimer leather pumps at the launch of Manzi's Soho.

Mordor: Beautiful! Wonderful! Lovely! Adorable!

S: wears $230.00 Stone Island Tshirt for an IG story from Nevis.

Mordor: Boo! Crook! Go away! You're a joke! You should donate that money, not spend it on rags!

Ahem. You do realize 99% of what they wear on promo (including social media) are freebies from the brands, right?

Also, while we are at it, let's talk a bit about the #ad hashtag, when it comes to the Nevis Four Seasons Resort. This is product placement all the way, and it's been around since at least the Fifties. Instagram is nothing but its last playground:

With a contract to boot and rather strict rules and procedures:

[source, heh: https://trendhero.io/blog/product-placement/]

I thought I was clear enough when I posted about S the Influencer (still something to do, in lieu of 0 projects due to Excruciating Strike). It would seem I wasn't and since it clearly did not fit a certain agenda, it went under the radar.

So you still think there's anything spontaneously non-lucrative about what he showed us from Nevis? Heh. Also, you still think he's still there or that it was not a series of latergrams, carefully vetted with FS Nevis' Marketing and Sales Department prior to publication?

Judging by the resort's comments under yesterday's shirtless post, everybody is happy with the result.

Oh, well. I can't argue with stupid bigotry, really.

"On Thursday, Nov. 14, the Duchess of Sussex, 43, was snapped attending the Highbrow Hippie launch party at the Gjelina restaurant in Venice, California. Celebrating her close friend and hair colorist Kadi Lee’s new Haircare and Wellness range (of which Meghan is one of the lead investors), she posed for photos with Lee and her longtime hairstylist Serge Normant, who styled Meghan’s hair for her 2018 wedding to Prince Harry.

"'I am so proud to invest in [Kadi] as a friend and as a female founder,' Meghan told InStyle of her investment in Highbrow Hippie: 'Kadi has a mastery of hair health, and her Highbrow Hippie collection is a perfect reflection of that.'

"Meghan sported a black strapless top and pants from Khaite for the event. The classic look included shoes from one of her go-to brands, Aquazurra, and a pendant necklace from Logan Hollowell to compliment her sweetheart neckline. The Duchess completed her ensemble with a pair of gold, round earrings, while her hair was styled in soft curls, parted in the middle.

"In videos shared to Lee's Instagram Stories after the event, Meghan was seen singing and dancing along to a gospel choir performance.

"'She was in a joyful mood,' a source tells PEOPLE. 'She was dancing and celebrating with her friends.'"

Last Invictus she wore Brandon Maxwell, Ralph Lauren, Khaite, Veronica Beard, Valentino and Celine with tons of Cartier jewellery. I can't wait to see who she's going to wear this year since she dropped even from the American high fashion level.

She's either digging deep into the pockets for new Valentino or Celine, since she probably won't show up anywhere in Dior again, or the mid range American (specifically Californian) brands since they are seemingly the only ones willing to pay her for exposure.

She can still get freebies and discounts of the higher level brands.

Sorry, but I think Scandinavians take wayyy too much credit for contemporary minimalist fashion. I'm not saying they didn't have an influence, but if I remember right (I was there and I was a follower back in the early 2010s) Scandinavian minimalism was never sophisticated or elegant, it was very laid-back, casual, and extremely relaxed, always accompanied by sneakers. Contemporary minimalism owes a lot of its attributes to brands from all over the Western world, including U.S. with Peter Do, The Row, and Khaite, (especially) Australia with Christopher Esber and Dion Lee amongst many others for over a decade, Eastern Europe with brands like Nanushka, Magda Butrym, Materiel Tbilisi, and Bevza, France with Jacquemus and Céline, Germany with Jil Sander's quiet elegance, and there are many others I'm missing. Scandinavian brands like Toteme and By Marlene Birger came later. There aren't even many significant Scandinavian labels other than Acne Studios. Very much like modernism, minimalism is an International Style and claiming ownership just shows chauvinism to a certain degree.

PS: Can't forget the avant-garde bunch like Margiela, Rick Owens, Ann Demeulemeester (the Antwerp Six in general), and 90s redux brands like Calvin Klein, Donna Karan, etc.

so Brakul is bad at kickboxing, huh? does he still have to do it or is that all in the past?

Yeah he got better in his early 20s but 'getting better' means 'not getting absolutely trashed and winning MAYBE 5/20 matches per tournament' (when the qualifier for 'being skilled' is hitting 10). Being good at that form of kickboxing requires a degree of grace that he does not possess. He immigrated to Wardin (city-state) at 24 years old and has no means of participating in this specific tradition. His leaving home is a source of great melancholy, but at least he's not getting Owned at sports on a yearly basis.

The average Imperial Wardi citizen is aware that the 'Hill Tribes' exist but common '''knowledge''' of these peoples is summarized as "they're heathens who worship rocks???", "they're cattle raiders", "they're raiders in general, probably" "they're big on combat sports". The latter of which is a source of fascination, as Imperial Wardi culture at large shares an interest in combat sports, and most city-states host annual sporting events. So Brakul does occasionally show off the techniques to interested compatriots, while heavily downplaying the fact that he was not very good at it.

The one major cultural export from the collective Hill Tribes to broader imperial Wardin is khait wrestling, which is popular in the western and southern parts of the empire and has developed into its own brand of the sport. This is something Brakul is actually GOOD at and enjoys participating in. He's entered Wardin (the city-state)'s annual games 6 times and placed first twice (also placed third once in traditional wrestling), and has a modest degree of local fame for it.

This post discusses some of the top 10 fall 2024 fashion trends. Some of them include leather, complete wrap, fur coats, shorts & skirts, and the classic polos.

Summers are never pleasant. Nobody can barely venture outside, due to the extreme temperatures. Luckily, the fall season starts after the hot period, and gives rise to a new fashion trend with lattes & cozy layers.

The change of season brings a whole new range of fashion manufacturers. Read about some of the best style trends, to hit social media & closets, to get ready for the colder weather.

Top 10 Fall 2024 Fashion trends to be Aware Of

Below are the top 10 fall 2024 fashion trendsto be aware of.

Shorts & Skirts

The first fashion trend during the fall season, without a doubt, is shorts & skirts. Shorts for men, and skirts for women. Fashion designers & consumers alike, have never gone wrong with them. They give vibrance to the clothing, and consumers feel comfortable wearing them.

Retro Clothing

Another type of clothing that would be ideal to wear during the fall season, is retro clothing. Users love to wear pretty & proper clothing along with accessories that are quite reminiscent of the 1970s.

Some of the materials that can be considered include wool, tweed, and twill. A few of the most popular brand names include Tommy Hilfiger, Prada, Michael Kors, and Jil Sander. They will be seen on the runway this season.

Semi-transparent clothing

Though not recommended for the office, semi-transparent clothing is bold clothing. It showcases the boldness of the wearer. Consumers love to draw attention to their clothing, and what better way than wearing a light-coloured semi-transparent shirt that reveals the arms.

It can be coupled with a dark-skirt or comfortable slacks. While some fashion trends come and go, this one has become so popular, they are a classic. Some of the popular fashion designers that encourage this kind of clothing include Michael Kors, Gucci, Christian Cowan, and Fendi.

High neck clothing

One of the most popular 2024 fashion trends could be high-neck clothing. Fashion designers are not afraid of experimentation. They will design clothing that has an ultra-tall turtleneck used in sweaters and snoods.

These clothings provide additional protection to the neck and extra style as well. Some notable brands that may have this kind of clothing include Ferragamo, Helmut Lang, and Khaite.

Complete wrap

Apart from the high-neck, another fashion trend that seems to be making headlines is the complete wrap. It is not necessarily a novel trend only during the colder months of the year, but in fall as well.

They are cute, provide the wearer with a cozy feeling. The complete wrap clothing gives the user complete warmth as well. Fashion designers who believe in the complete wrap include Del Core, Alberta Ferretti, Ferragamo, and Christian Siriano.

Fur coats

Fur coats make an unlikely entrance into the top 10 fall 2024 fashion trends. Yes, they are stylish, elegant, sublime, and provide the user with an ultra-chic appearance. Though they may not be ideal in tropical regions during the fall season, colder regions can see several wearers flaunting them with ease.

The classic polo

The top 10 fall 2024 fashion trend is incomplete without the mention of the classic polo t-shirt. The polos have always been in season. They can be worn during any season. Polos are light, comfortable, and eloquent to wear.

They come designed in a wide range of colours, styles, and textures. Consumers are spoilt for choice with them.

Oversized clothing

Oversized clothing makes the user appear slimmer & thinner. The clothing brings out the freshness and originality of the wearer. They come in a wide range of colours, patterns, and designs.

An ideal combination would be the oversized white shirt or top with a dark-coloured trouser. Ideal for office-wear as well.

Leather Jackets

It is time for leather jackets as well. Leather jackets seem to have this incredible ability to enhance the elegance of the person wearing them. The jacket can go with sunglasses, and formal or casual footwear as well.

There is nothing more elegant to wear than the leather jacket coupled with a pair of matching sunglasses, and a pair of jeans or denim clothing.

Sweater Dress is Making a Comeback

Finally, it is time to adorn the sweater dresses. All the summer clothing & accessories can be packed up now because it is time for the start of winter clothing. Once the fall season ends, the winter season will start.

The oversized clothing that fits elegantly, wrap silhouettes, and ribbed knits offer exquisite shape to the body. There are plenty of options to choose from taking one look at the cupboard, that suits the personal style.

Conclusion

In 2024, there will be new trends, styles, and patterns. That means favourite fall and winter clothing can be brought out. They are colourful, light & airy, giving the user ample comfort and elegance.
