BORING NOT COM 🥱

@BORINGNOTCOM is BRICKS #14 The Resilience Issue cover star 💚⁠ ⁠ Welcome to the gossip economy. This year, we’ve already seen major moves take place at Balenciaga, Dries Van Noten, Gucci, Jil Sander, Loewe and Versace. And, with each change in creative director or CEO, comes an online onslaught of replacement suggestions. While this penchant for rumour – plausible and not – is nothing new, the speed that unverified gossip is published, and the frequency that designers’ tenures are cut short, has undoubtedly accelerated in the digital age. ⁠ ⁠ Sure, it’s easy to discard social media rumours as hearsay. But it’s here, where criticism is more democratised than ever, that gossip’s rise in value is about much more than simply anticipating which white man will make his move in this never-ending game of designer musical chairs – it’s about affecting real change in the industry.⁠ ⁠ Enter @BORINGNOTCOM , the snarky sartorial pundit garnering a reliable reputation for breaking industry news early, with alarming accuracy. Unlike anonymous accounts that have come before it, @BORINGNOTCOM is less concerned by copy-cat designs and cancellations, and more about offering genuine, biting commentary without fear of blacklisting.⁠ ⁠ And turns out, the industry was ready for a voice that wasn’t afraid to post beyond press releases. Followers are afforded more than just breaking news or drop alerts, but a space to dig deeper, to investigate what insider insights can be divulged from designer rumours, and to discuss what its fans want to see from fashion’s future – right under the noses of those who can actualise these changes.⁠ ⁠ For #14 Resilience Issue, BRICKS has enlisted fellow fashion critic and @ideservecouture meme mastermind Hanan Besovic to find out more from the industry’s latest anonymous fashion critic. ⁠ ⁠ You can pre-order #14 The Resilience Issue at our link in bio 🔗 Please note this is a pre-order, and you will be notified when your product ships in April. Alternatively, head to our bio link to book a group mentoring session at the BRICKS office & pick up your copy IRL 📖⁠

Much like Wicked’s Wizard of Oz, who thrived behind the emerald curtain, today’s guest reveals how staying faceless allows for a unique freedom of expression—free from the constraints of identity, expectation, and the suffocating grip of the fashion industry. “I think it’s on the rise, probably because you can be an alter ego of yourself and be more honest in times when I feel like people’s voices get suppressed a lot—especially in the working environment, especially in fashion, where it relies heavily on advertising and advertisers.” Listen to the full episode at the link in bio. — Hosted by @chrimichael Produced by @sashagrin Audio Post-Production & Social by @chasepcoughlin Original Theme Music by @rellimpot and @chasepcoughlin of @theblacksoft Visual Design by @nernin and @grahamrprentice #WhatsContemporaryNow #BoringNotCom
