if you are wondering what is wrong with our society, it is being angry that a group of dancers performed during the opening ceremony, but NOT BEING ANGRY ABOUT ISRAEL COMPETING

not to bring sociolocultural anthropology into an economics discussion but i think publishing is a fairly stable industry because from a consumer viewpoint, books are the cheapest status objects one can buy. an iphone/macbook and a couple of NYRBs probably hold the same signalling power but one is significantly cheaper; if all else fails books will always have a built-in audience of status-seeking broke people that forms a significant chunk of humanity. the reason writers are paid so little is bcs of capitalism and not because “no one buys books anymore”. also please don’t give me “hey people don’t care what people think they’re not that shallow!” when LVHM’s CEO is the wealthiest man in the world and people have made entire careers of “quiet luxury”.

I have 1 month to find training, call... February 29 I have an open door at LVHM

objective to leave the world of sales for a better salary.

For over 170 years, Louis Vuitton has been creating trunks that embody excellence, creativity and audacity. French luxury brand Louis Vuitton has unveiled its custom-made Olympic Bespoke trunks that contain the 2024 Paris Olympics and Paralympics Games' official torches and medals. Under a sponsorship deal between LVHM and the Olympic Games organiser, the Olympic and Paralympic torches each travel in a custom-made Louis Vuitton trunk during the event.

Louis Vuitton has also made trunks for the medals, which open up into prominent display cases with dozens of drawers, each holding three medals. Louis Vuitton's sponsorship deal with the Paris Olympics is valued at 150 million euros. In an event, Louis Vuitton unveiled the trunks in the workshops where they were made, just outside of Paris.

Departure ~ via Teleport 2 Arrival ~ outside of Florence, Italy Kaz never enjoyed flying. Mainly the takeoffs and landings. Didn't matter how many trips through the teleporters, he braced for a possible catastrophic collapse. Pulled apart, a sugar coated pastry turned to stardust. Comfort in his Nana's knowledge of physics: you would not know, it would happen so fast your brain could not register what was occurring...

But, there they were. All their fingers and toes, heads still attached. Tamyra had scouted an Italian production plant and headquarters for an upscale conglomerate (LVMH? LVHM? whatever). The outside of the large industrial complex looked battered by the apocalypse but relatively intact.

"How'd you find this place." Kaz pried the door open. Nothing barred the entrance from the inside, so that was a good sign. An open space, perhaps a shipping area. As they stepped inside, there was mile high shelving. A few forklifts, and then stacks of crates and boxes. Some of those broken apart and emptied, others untouched. "Did you ever go to fashion week?"

They walked the length taking inventory. Kaz pushed through another door and stopped. "Holy fuck. Come look at this."

Back in February, LVMH announced the 20 brands vying to win the annual Prize for Young Fashion Designers. Now, the field has been whittled down to just eight, but the competition remains stiff. The semifinalists gathered in Paris in March to present their collections to the Prize’s jury, which includes Law Roach, Edward Enninful, David Sims, and Pat McGrath. From there, eight brands were chosen to move forward. Another presentation will take place on September 3 after which the jury will pick three winners to take home the LVMH Prize, the Karl Lagerfeld Prize, and the second annual Savoir-Faire Prize, as well as the money and mentorship opportunities that come with each. Last year, it was upcycling pro Ellen Hodakova Larsson who received the highest honor, while Duran Lantink and Standing Ground nabbed the other two wins. Over the years, the LVMH Prize has proven its ability to catapult its winners toward success, but even making it to the finals is an indication of achievements to come. This year’s finalists are already thriving in the industry; soon, three of them will reach a new level. Familiarize yourself with the eight brands that have caught the eyes of Zendaya, Beyoncé, and Naomi Campbell—as well as the LVHM jury—below.Alainpaul Designer: Alain PaulLocation: FranceSpecialty: Womenswear, menswear, genderlessAlain Paul was a ballet dancer before he made the switch to fashion at the age of 18. Still, the highly disciplined world of ballet has remained part of him—and his design process. Paul’s namesake brand, which he launched in 2023, is defined by its sharp lines, experimental cuts, and precise construction. The dancer’s wardrobe, as well as the study of movement and posture, often act as starting points for Paul’s designs. His spring 2025 collection—which was also the brand’s Paris Fashion Week debut—was titled “Impro,” inspired in part by choreographers Merce Cunningham, Pina Bausch, and Roland Petit. Similarly, fall 2025 looked to the performer, with Paul presenting an array of dresses that twisted around the model’s body, plus sweaters that seemed to leap off the shoulders. All-inDesigners: Benjamin Barron and Bror August VestbøLocation: United States (Barron) and Norway (Vestbø)Specialty: Womenswear and genderlessFans: Haim, Lily-Rose Depp, Dua Lipa, and Charli xcxAll-in began as a magazine, launched by Benjamin Barron after he graduated from New York’s Bard College in 2015. He met Bror August Vestbø—who’d just moved to New York—at the magazine’s launch party and they soon began dating and working together. All-in’s lack of advertisers left Barron and Vestbø without much of a budget, so the pair often used thrifted and upcycled clothing for the magazine’s editorials. They sourced garments from the Porta Portese flea market in Rome, and in 2019, began selling their creations. Designer Maryam Nassir Zadeh was an early supporter, and hosted All-in’s first show in her downtown New York store. Since then, the brand has garnered a cult following, with fans that include Lotta Volkova (who now styles their collections). Each of All-in’s collections explores a different story. “We’re always inspired by characters who are at a heightened moment of representation or trying to achieve something,” Vestbø told W. Often, it’s pop culture that acts as an influence. The label’s spring 2025 collection, “Uptown Girl,” for example, was inspired by Melanie Griffith’s Working Girl character. This spring, the designers showed their first fall collection (off calendar, per usual). And of course, the magazine is still in circulation.Photograph by Michella Bredahl for WFrancesco Murano Designer: Francesco Murano Location: ItalySpecialty: Womenswear Fans: Beyoncé, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Anok Yai, and Katy PerryFrancesco Murano finds beauty in opposition—he’s even an avid Friedrich Nietzsche head. The idea of contrasts is an ongoing theme that has defined his work since his eponymous brand’s founding in 2021. There is an unmistakable romanticism within his clothing. Murano makes great use of a moulage technique, where he drapes fabric directly on the mannequin. The results are dresses, blouses, and skirts that fold into the models’ bodies, turning them into Roman sculptures in all their strength and glory. Murano has been on the fast track to success since he graduated from The Istituto Europeo di Design in Milan in 2019. It was not long after that when Beyoncé’s stylist, Zerina Akers, noticed his designs and put her client in a gray, structured Francesco Murano mini dress. Since then, Murano has garnered a following, and this past season, he showed for the first time at Milan Fashion Week. The collection, “Aequus Libra”—a title that references the idea of equilibrium—harkened back to that study of contrast and opposites. SoshiotsukiDesigner: Soshi OtsukiLocation: JapanSpecialty: Menswear This is not Soshi Otsuki’s first ride around the LVMH Prize block. The designer was actually shortlisted in 2016, and in the decade since, Otsuki’s skills, confidence, and reach have only multiplied. Otsuki founded his brand in 2015, inspired by his personal experiences practicing Judo and his interest in classical Japanese performing arts. Now, the menswear designer—who is known for his tailored, Armani-adjacent suits and his combination of Japanese and Western fashion—is ready to take the whole competition. Like many other designers, Otsuki is currently exploring the ’80s, and his fall 2025 collection features draped, oversize suits and shoulder pad-adorned tuxedo shirts. It’s all very Tokyo Vice, but still squarely placed in 2025, especially when considering this year’s Met Gala theme of dandyism. Steve O SmithDesigner: Steve O SmithLocation: United KingdomSpecialty: Womenswear and menswearFans: Harry Styles and Eddie RedmayneSteve O Smith began drawing when he was two years old, but his signature sketching technique did not become part of his practice until he was getting a master’s degree at Central Saint Martins. After painting directly on his clothes failed, Smith’s tutor recommended he start drawing and cutting his patterns like they were his sketches. “So I did that all summer,” he told W in October 2024. “Then I got Covid and I had to self-isolate in my flat, which was incredibly boring, so I was just cutting fabric the whole time.” When he ran out of fabric, Smith began using his scraps. “It turned into a form of collage where I was sewing the scraps down at the same speed I made marks on paper. That was the first time the boundary properly broke down for me. I started thinking about cutting, draping, and sewing as extensions of the drawing process itself.”Thus, Smith’s signature was born: Organza pieces structured with boning and layered with tulle and swaths of black fabric. Each model is a sketch brought to life. There is a clear ’50s influence in much of Smith’s work—most obvious in the fit-and-flare dresses and shin-length pencil skirts. That era also informs Smith’s business model, which is mostly based in made-to-order pieces. “There’s a lot to be said for getting to know a client and customizing the garment to them,” he said. “It’s really rewarding.” Photograph by Tim Walker for WTolu CokerDesigner: Tolu CokerLocation: United KingdomSpecialty: Womenswear Fans: Doechii and Ariana GrandeTolu Coker’s namesake label is all about craftsmanship and culture. The designs are, in large part, inspired by her British-Nigerian heritage, and Coker looks at her brand’s successes as a win for her whole community. Right now, there is a lot for them to celebrate. Coker founded her brand in 2021 with the goal of creating sustainable fashion that challenged the definition of luxury. Her clothes always feel like a sartorial party, thanks to Coker’s bold color palette and pattern use. Corsets and mini-skirts have become Coker’s signatures, expertly molding to the model’s body before erupting in a sea of flouncy taffeta and duchess satin. Elongated collars and exaggerated sleeves provide an antique, British sensibility while hip-hugging minis and go-go boots evoke the ’60s. Blend all of that, and what do you get? Fun clothes women actually want to wear. TorishéjuDesigner: Torishéju DumiLocation: United KingdomSpecialty: Womenswear and menswearFans: Zendaya and Naomi CampbellWhen Naomi Campbell opens your debut show, you know there’s a bright future ahead. This was the case for Torishéju Dumi, who caught the eyes of some major fashion players very early on in her career. First, Dumi met stylist Gabriella Karefa-Johnson in 2021. “What stood out to me about her work is that she was creating esoteric, intelligent, and abstract design,” the stylist and LVMH jury member told W in February 2024. Karefa-Johnson suggested Dumi put on a fashion show for her collection “Fire on the Mountain” and helped book Campbell for the presentation. The collection featured loose, imperfect draping, based on Nigerian lappa clothing. The more undone pieces were contrasted by some classic British tailoring, like blazers and overcoats. Her spring 2025 collection explored the concepts of decadence and decay: sheer black dresses, skirts, and tops were stuffed with excess white fabric, like they’d been thrown together at the last minute. Ivory blouses looked like they could blow away at any moment. These details provide an ease to the clothes, which is probably what drew Zendaya to the label. The actress wore a design from Dumi’s spring 2024 collection last year while promoting Dune: Part Two—a highlight of her fashion-filled press tour. Photograph by Anton Gottlob for WZomerDesigner: Danial AitouganovLocation: NetherlandsSpecialty: Womenswear Zomer means summer in Dutch, and the name is especially fitting for this Paris-based brand, founded in 2023 by designer Danial Aitouganov and stylist Imruh Asha. There’s a feeling of joy and whimsy in Aitouganov’s clothing,. For example, the fall 2025 Zomer show started at the end, with models walking out in a finale procession. Many of the ensembles in the collection were designed backward, with one turn revealing an open back on an unbuttoned shirt or trench coat. It could have read gimmicky, but Aitouganov and Asha are pros at the little details that add some needed humanity to the designs. One skirt revealed a lining resembling a man’s dress shirt while another looked like a crisp white button-down folded in on itself. Pieces created in collaboration with knitwear designer Cécile Feilchenfeldt were equally as amusing, with colorful tubes that bounced in unison with the models’ steps. One can’t help but smile when they see Aitouganov’s work. It’s like the feeling you get on the first day of summer. Source link

The actress wore a design from Dumi’s spring 2024 collection last year while promoting Dune: Part Two—a highlight of her fashion-filled press tour.

There’s a feeling of joy and whimsy in Aitouganov’s clothing,. For example, the fall 2025 Zomer show started at the end, with models walking out in a finale procession. Many of the ensembles in the collection were designed backward, with one turn revealing an open back on an unbuttoned shirt or trench coat. It could have read gimmicky, but Aitouganov and Asha are pros at the little details that add some needed humanity to the designs. One skirt revealed a lining resembling a man’s dress shirt while another looked like a crisp white button-down folded in on itself. Pieces created in collaboration with knitwear designer Cécile Feilchenfeldt were equally as amusing, with colorful tubes that bounced in unison with the models’ steps. One can’t help but smile when they see Aitouganov’s work. It’s like the feeling you get on the first day of summer. Source link

Back in February, LVMH announced the 20 brands vying to win the annual Prize for Young Fashion Designers. Now, the field has been whittled down to just eight, but the competition remains stiff. The semifinalists gathered in Paris in March to present their collections to the Prize’s jury, which includes Law Roach, Edward Enninful, David Sims, and Pat McGrath. From there, eight brands were chosen to move forward. Another presentation will take place on September 3 after which the jury will pick three winners to take home the LVMH Prize, the Karl Lagerfeld Prize, and the second annual Savoir-Faire Prize, as well as the money and mentorship opportunities that come with each. Last year, it was upcycling pro Ellen Hodakova Larsson who received the highest honor, while Duran Lantink and Standing Ground nabbed the other two wins. Over the years, the LVMH Prize has proven its ability to catapult its winners toward success, but even making it to the finals is an indication of achievements to come. This year’s finalists are already thriving in the industry; soon, three of them will reach a new level. Familiarize yourself with the eight brands that have caught the eyes of Zendaya, Beyoncé, and Naomi Campbell—as well as the LVHM jury—below.Alainpaul Designer: Alain PaulLocation: FranceSpecialty: Womenswear, menswear, genderlessAlain Paul was a ballet dancer before he made the switch to fashion at the age of 18. Still, the highly disciplined world of ballet has remained part of him—and his design process. Paul’s namesake brand, which he launched in 2023, is defined by its sharp lines, experimental cuts, and precise construction. The dancer’s wardrobe, as well as the study of movement and posture, often act as starting points for Paul’s designs. His spring 2025 collection—which was also the brand’s Paris Fashion Week debut—was titled “Impro,” inspired in part by choreographers Merce Cunningham, Pina Bausch, and Roland Petit. Similarly, fall 2025 looked to the performer, with Paul presenting an array of dresses that twisted around the model’s body, plus sweaters that seemed to leap off the shoulders. All-inDesigners: Benjamin Barron and Bror August VestbøLocation: United States (Barron) and Norway (Vestbø)Specialty: Womenswear and genderlessFans: Haim, Lily-Rose Depp, Dua Lipa, and Charli xcxAll-in began as a magazine, launched by Benjamin Barron after he graduated from New York’s Bard College in 2015. He met Bror August Vestbø—who’d just moved to New York—at the magazine’s launch party and they soon began dating and working together. All-in’s lack of advertisers left Barron and Vestbø without much of a budget, so the pair often used thrifted and upcycled clothing for the magazine’s editorials. They sourced garments from the Porta Portese flea market in Rome, and in 2019, began selling their creations. Designer Maryam Nassir Zadeh was an early supporter, and hosted All-in’s first show in her downtown New York store. Since then, the brand has garnered a cult following, with fans that include Lotta Volkova (who now styles their collections). Each of All-in’s collections explores a different story. “We’re always inspired by characters who are at a heightened moment of representation or trying to achieve something,” Vestbø told W. Often, it’s pop culture that acts as an influence. The label’s spring 2025 collection, “Uptown Girl,” for example, was inspired by Melanie Griffith’s Working Girl character. This spring, the designers showed their first fall collection (off calendar, per usual). And of course, the magazine is still in circulation.Photograph by Michella Bredahl for WFrancesco Murano Designer: Francesco Murano Location: ItalySpecialty: Womenswear Fans: Beyoncé, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Anok Yai, and Katy PerryFrancesco Murano finds beauty in opposition—he’s even an avid Friedrich Nietzsche head. The idea of contrasts is an ongoing theme that has defined his work since his eponymous brand’s founding in 2021. There is an unmistakable romanticism within his clothing. Murano makes great use of a moulage technique, where he drapes fabric directly on the mannequin. The results are dresses, blouses, and skirts that fold into the models’ bodies, turning them into Roman sculptures in all their strength and glory. Murano has been on the fast track to success since he graduated from The Istituto Europeo di Design in Milan in 2019. It was not long after that when Beyoncé’s stylist, Zerina Akers, noticed his designs and put her client in a gray, structured Francesco Murano mini dress. Since then, Murano has garnered a following, and this past season, he showed for the first time at Milan Fashion Week. The collection, “Aequus Libra”—a title that references the idea of equilibrium—harkened back to that study of contrast and opposites. SoshiotsukiDesigner: Soshi OtsukiLocation: JapanSpecialty: Menswear This is not Soshi Otsuki’s first ride around the LVMH Prize block. The designer was actually shortlisted in 2016, and in the decade since, Otsuki’s skills, confidence, and reach have only multiplied. Otsuki founded his brand in 2015, inspired by his personal experiences practicing Judo and his interest in classical Japanese performing arts. Now, the menswear designer—who is known for his tailored, Armani-adjacent suits and his combination of Japanese and Western fashion—is ready to take the whole competition. Like many other designers, Otsuki is currently exploring the ’80s, and his fall 2025 collection features draped, oversize suits and shoulder pad-adorned tuxedo shirts. It’s all very Tokyo Vice, but still squarely placed in 2025, especially when considering this year’s Met Gala theme of dandyism. Steve O SmithDesigner: Steve O SmithLocation: United KingdomSpecialty: Womenswear and menswearFans: Harry Styles and Eddie RedmayneSteve O Smith began drawing when he was two years old, but his signature sketching technique did not become part of his practice until he was getting a master’s degree at Central Saint Martins. After painting directly on his clothes failed, Smith’s tutor recommended he start drawing and cutting his patterns like they were his sketches. “So I did that all summer,” he told W in October 2024. “Then I got Covid and I had to self-isolate in my flat, which was incredibly boring, so I was just cutting fabric the whole time.” When he ran out of fabric, Smith began using his scraps. “It turned into a form of collage where I was sewing the scraps down at the same speed I made marks on paper. That was the first time the boundary properly broke down for me. I started thinking about cutting, draping, and sewing as extensions of the drawing process itself.”Thus, Smith’s signature was born: Organza pieces structured with boning and layered with tulle and swaths of black fabric. Each model is a sketch brought to life. There is a clear ’50s influence in much of Smith’s work—most obvious in the fit-and-flare dresses and shin-length pencil skirts. That era also informs Smith’s business model, which is mostly based in made-to-order pieces. “There’s a lot to be said for getting to know a client and customizing the garment to them,” he said. “It’s really rewarding.” Photograph by Tim Walker for WTolu CokerDesigner: Tolu CokerLocation: United KingdomSpecialty: Womenswear Fans: Doechii and Ariana GrandeTolu Coker’s namesake label is all about craftsmanship and culture. The designs are, in large part, inspired by her British-Nigerian heritage, and Coker looks at her brand’s successes as a win for her whole community. Right now, there is a lot for them to celebrate. Coker founded her brand in 2021 with the goal of creating sustainable fashion that challenged the definition of luxury. Her clothes always feel like a sartorial party, thanks to Coker’s bold color palette and pattern use. Corsets and mini-skirts have become Coker’s signatures, expertly molding to the model’s body before erupting in a sea of flouncy taffeta and duchess satin. Elongated collars and exaggerated sleeves provide an antique, British sensibility while hip-hugging minis and go-go boots evoke the ’60s. Blend all of that, and what do you get? Fun clothes women actually want to wear. TorishéjuDesigner: Torishéju DumiLocation: United KingdomSpecialty: Womenswear and menswearFans: Zendaya and Naomi CampbellWhen Naomi Campbell opens your debut show, you know there’s a bright future ahead. This was the case for Torishéju Dumi, who caught the eyes of some major fashion players very early on in her career. First, Dumi met stylist Gabriella Karefa-Johnson in 2021. “What stood out to me about her work is that she was creating esoteric, intelligent, and abstract design,” the stylist and LVMH jury member told W in February 2024. Karefa-Johnson suggested Dumi put on a fashion show for her collection “Fire on the Mountain” and helped book Campbell for the presentation. The collection featured loose, imperfect draping, based on Nigerian lappa clothing. The more undone pieces were contrasted by some classic British tailoring, like blazers and overcoats. Her spring 2025 collection explored the concepts of decadence and decay: sheer black dresses, skirts, and tops were stuffed with excess white fabric, like they’d been thrown together at the last minute. Ivory blouses looked like they could blow away at any moment. These details provide an ease to the clothes, which is probably what drew Zendaya to the label.

what I hate about this Olympics among other things, it is since LVHM sponsors the games, all the celebrities are stealing spotlight from the actual athletes who should be the stars

I commented on the Fendi post but won't be surprised if it's deleted since its negative about Fendi itself but let's not forget that brand (and many big designers) is owned by LVHM which is on the boycott list for the owners financial contributions to Israel. I'm waiting until Fabio grows balls to post the photo on his own page to ask why he would choose a BDS brand for Mr Palestinian Charity Tea 🙄

My posts on fendi IG is still up. It's been up since this morning.

Como ayer me encontré en la Avda LOGRo+cOÑO [=Lo que se consigue con la Vagina]..(justo desde donde me encontré un cd pirata con el título ETERNOS NUMEROS UNO que era un recopilatorio de canciones de JAZZ o versionadas como tal como es ROXANNE=PUTA..de the POLICE versionada por GEORGE MICHAEL que se lanzo en solitario con el single I WANT YOUR SEX del cd FAITH..y justo desde donde fotografie a LEIVA de PEREZA cuyo próximo concierto iba a ser en LOGROÑO dentro de su gira MONSTRUOS y el cual se quedó atrapado en la isleta entre los 2 CARRILES o SENTIDOS tras salir corriendo del Parque JUAN CARLOS I)..una página de algún libro religioso de un niño con el capítulo bíblico sobre JESUS en EL POZO de AGUA con LA SAMARITANA [y en el reverso hablaban de la importancia de la AUTENTICIDAD o de que sea ALGO de VERDAD como es tu FE o RELIGION o CREENCIAS]..recuerdo que los grandes almacenes de LE SEMARITANE de PARIS desde cuyo ATICO se SUICIDA Kylie Minogue [al que el suicidado HUTCHENCE de INXS dedico SUICIDE BLONDE del cd X para luego abandonarla al publicar el single BITTER TEARS cuando KYLIE MINOGUE dio una entrevista con los ojos como vidriosos sobre su gira EL RITMO DEL AMOR llevando una camiseta de HARLEY DAVIDSON] en HOLY MOTORS [cuyo director LEOS CARAX fotografie firmando autógrafos en CANNES 2012 dedicado al 50 aniversario del suicidio de MARILYN y donde la presento con KYLIE siendo la siguiente foto un SELFIE sosteniendo una revista del festival con titular DISASTER por un reportaje sobre películas de CATASTROFES O APOCALIPTICAS como la que luego hizo KYLIE como fue SAN ANDRES donde muere al minuto de salir por un TERREMOTO tras preguntar o decir que la mujer de alguien se AHOGO]..recuerdo que los Grandes Almacenes LE SAMARITANE [que por cierto..los compro el dueño del grupo de marcas de Lujo LVHM] se llaman así porque ENRIQUE III puso una BOMBA DE AGUA decorada con el PASAJE BIBLICO de JESUS EN EL POZO con la SAMARITANA [de la que adivino que tuvo 4 maridos pero el hombre que tenía ahora no era su marido o no estaba casada].

Así que insisto yo lo llevo o culpo todo al PECADO ORIGINAL=canción de INXS que les produjo NILE RODGERS [en 2015 colaboro con KYLIE en The OTHER BOYS] cuando a MADONNA la produjo LIKE A VIRGIN

𝓫𝓲𝓸𝓰𝓻𝓪𝓹𝓱𝔂

the first born son of mitchum and lorelai fitzgerald, although his parents were the heirs to the infamous lvhm group, parenting always came first for them and they were ever present and ever involved, although axel shows all the classic tell tale signs of a rich kid with mommy and/or daddy issues.

growing up in the lavish lifestyle that they did, axel always felt like it was cold - the houses were too big, the designer stuff was tacky, the excess was exhausting and he just felt as though there was more meaning to life then all this stuff.

seeing that their son clearly needed an outlet, they enrolled axel in music classes and almost immediately, he showed an insane amount of talent.

he caught on to guitar and piano rather quickly and after a few years, he was writing his own songs.

with his parent's encouragement, when he was sixteen, he tried out for the x-factor and while he wasn't good enough to make it as a solo artist, the judges put him in a group with four other guys and there, their journey to international stardom began.

the group of five went on to win the show and stole hearts all over the world. teenage heartthrobs, it wasn't long until they were embarking on world tours, selling out stadiums and living the rockstar dream.

however, the dream was a nightmare for axel. because while he was getting all of the attention and adoration in the world, he was singing stupid teeny-bopper sounding songs that didn't mean anything to him. all of his suggestions were turned down and he was simply forced to be 'the pretty one' in the group - the one that girls threw themselves at and while he was standoffish about it for a while, he got to a point where he had no choice but to completely embrace it.

he played the part well - almost every other month had a different super model or actress on his arm, and slowly but surely began to become who people looked at as the 'leader' of the band.

he wasn't that close with his bandmates and instead, formed a clique inside of hollywood that consisted of a group of young people with far too much money and far too much time that enjoyed partying and excess.

it wasn't rare for the paparazzi to find him coming out of the club as the sun was rising with blood shot eyes nor was it rare for him to find himself getting into a drunken fight...or two...or five.

his behavior began to get more sporadic as time went on - often going on instagram lives, smoking a joint and ranting about how everything was pointless and nothing but a meaningless joke, much to the dismay of the band and their management team that tried to present the boys with a squeaky clean image, but after five years of this rollercoaster, axel was beyond fed up.

his parents never interfered with his behavior. they chalked it up to him being young and simply 'trying to find his way' and thought it would be better for him to figure things out on his own, even though he was getting to a point where adult interference was truly what he needed more than anything.

in 2020, when axel was 22 years old, the band's team presented them with a concept for their next album and axel, being high off of his mind in the meeting, threw an absolute fit. it was the same stuff the bad had been singing for the past five years, the same teenage image even though they were all in their twenties now and axel had enough. after a long winded rant and flipping a few tables, axel stormed out and quit the band for good. the band only lasted a few months without him before breaking up.

2021 was the darkest year of his life. he did absolutely nothing but loose himself further in drugs, alcohol, meaningless sex and parties. and all of that started turning him into a shell of a person. he truly didn't care about anything or anyone and after being arrested four times for driving under the influence, the fourth time resulting in him crashing his car into a strip of stores on hollywood boulevard, he was court ordered to enter rehab in the beginning of 2022.

his year in rehab did nothing but further his belief in the fact that hollywood was an evil and soul sucking place and the only reason he ever did drugs or drank in the first place was a way to escape from that. he felt as though he was smarter and already knew better than everyone in rehab and simply put on the act - pretended like he was going through the steps and that it was all working just so he could get the hell out of there and release his truth - his first album which he wrote completely while in rehab.

he was released in the fall of 2023 and after laying low for a few months, he reached out to his team about his album, however they shot it down immediately and said he had to clean up his image first before anyone bought his record.

so, they got him cast on one tree hill - a show about teenagers, the very thing that had drove him insane in the first place - having to act like he was some stupid kid having the time of his life.

he hates everything about the show and his stupid character, nathan scott, and is not exactly keen on becoming friends with his castmates either, but is simply trying to behave as much as he could so he can release the music he act
