Loud Luxury, Crying On The Internet & Spying On Each Other

TGIF and TGIEICD (thank god it's Everything Is Content Day... is this gonna catch on?)This week, Beth, Ruchira and Oenone dip their toe in the fashion discourse, if 2025 Haute Couture is anything to go by, then quiet luxury and stealth wealth might be being booted out for loud luxury, extravagance and labels, sorry Sofia Richie Grainge! Next up, Selena Gomez posted a tearful video on Instagram Stories on Monday, before quickly deleting the post. In the video, she responded to the US' nationwide immigration raids over the weekend, which saw the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrest 956 people on Sunday — the largest number of arrests on a single day under Trump. He announced several extreme executive orders on immigration from his first day. US Senate candidate Sam Parker called to 'deport Selena Gomez' on X, while the left basically called her self-involved. They ask, why do you think we’re so cynical of emotional outbursts online?And last but by no means least, is society shifting now towards intentional and consensual round the clock tracking? Beth found a fascinating piece called “We are all Big Brother now: The largest system of surveillance isn’t run by the government or corporations. It’s the grass-roots panopticon we’re using to judge one another.” It was written by Alan Levinovitz, and published in the Boston Globe last June. At EIC headquarters the girls are quite worried!https://www.telegraph.co.uk/fashion/events/schiaparelli-and-dior-couture-review/https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/selena-gomez-crying-immigration-trump-b2687656.htmlhttps://www.bostonglobe.com/2024/06/20/opinion/nextdoor-ring-nest-grassroots-surveillance/https://fortune.com/2023/09/12/gen-z-find-my-friends-life360-location-tracking-privacy-safety/ Hosted on Acast.
