☕️ I enjoy reading Franco every week. His words are full of wisdom. When he asked me to answer a few questions, it was an instant ‘yes’ (more like a ‘hell yeah, with pleasure’). He asked great questions. He made me think about my current feelings, the biggest lessons I learnt from my parents, or happiness as a whole. He’s obviously too kind with me but his words made me happy. So thank you 🙏 Kev's interview.
Kev is like a DJ who picks the right kind of music, articles, ideas, and cool stuff with such unique tastes and styles. I am like a fan who can just relax and follow the tones he plays within the audience. I guess the French have that special touch on whatever they do.
👩🎓 Capitalism is the beast that eats them all. Or how Stefan is reminding us how ‘being aspirational’ is the biggest driving force of any behavior. Why did Slavoj Zizek write copy for A&F in 2003?
The 2003 ‘Back to School’ catalogue came when Abercrombie were at their all-time aspirational Americana high. Logos were cool. Cars were cool. Sex was cool. Even some politicians were cool. Just so long as they were having sex. And it was then that Abercrombie reached out to the sexiest philosopher on this side of cable television to write their ads for them.
