We’re only four days in, but 2022 is already feeling like a continuation of pandemic years gone by. With the uncertainty and stress of our current reality, it only makes sense that we look to the past for comfort. And in the fashion zeitgeist, that means a shortened cycle of style revivals. On TikTok, the […]

“If this what you truly want, I can wear her skin over mine. Her hair, over mine. Her hands as gloves, her teeth as confetti. Her scalp, a cap. Her sternum, my bedazzled cane. We can pose for a photograph, all three of us, immortalized. You and your perfect girl. Why can’t you see me? […]

Happy birthday/Christmas to everyone, because Beyoncé’s given us the best present we could ask for.

Strategic cut-outs, thigh-high slits and body-con shapes: Sébastien Peigné and Nicola Formichetti of Mugler are bringing sexy back.

Reviving Mugler is a monster task. After designer Thierry Mugler took his final runway bow at his couture show in July 2000, this kinky house of cool (remember Demi Moore’s bondage-style dress in 1993’s Indecent Proposal?) started flatlining. Ten years later, the resuscitation began. In 2010, following months of speculation, Nicola Formichetti (Lady Gaga’s stylist) was tapped to lead the revival of the French house known for its over-the-top theatricality and sex appeal. Besides outfitting Mother Monster, this 34-year-old half-Italian, half-Japanese, techno-savvy superstar is also the fashion director for Vogue Hommes Japan and global retailer Uniqlo. His debut Mugler womenswear show during Fall 2011 Paris Fashion Week had the twitterverse buzzing about its latex-dipped leggings, body-stocking dresses and the catwalk pièce de résistance: Gaga, smoking in every sense of the word.

As the internet and social media moves to replace the lock-and-key diary, it seems that nearly every detail of our lives can be put online. And while we’ve grown to accept and embrace it, there are some facets of our lives that might be harmful when shared. Blogging about a new outfit? Sure. Sharing tips on how to self-mutilate? No go. Tumblr, for one, has had enough.  The site is cracking the whip with a new content policy that plans to prohibit inappropriate material.

Tumblr’s staff blog discloses that blogs that “glorify or promote anorexia, bulimia, and other eating disorders; self-mutilation; or suicide” will be flagged or even banned. This means that the users who promote such content will either have to delete the content or accompany it with a “public service warning that directs readers to helplines.” The rules are yet to be finalized.

With so many blogs and ever-so-clever users, who are bound to find loopholes, how will Tumblr effectively Big Brother the entire site? Well, flagging search words is a start. The site will set public service announcements when words like  “purging” and “thinspo” are searched.

This is definitely a much-needed step in the right direction, but we can’t help but wonder if users will flock to other blogging sites to promote their content. We hope other blogging sites will follow suit to put an end to what may become a vicious circle.
