The theme is ‘Fashion Icon’. The timer is ticking. In the dressing room, there’s a mad scramble to pull garments off the shelves and combine them into a runway-ready look. I throw on a pair of oversized sunglasses, heavy biker boots, and a t-shirt recoloured in Brat-green. There’s just enough time for a visit to the salon to change my character’s hair and make-up before the show (my first attempt went out with blue skin and a blank cube for a head, so things can only get better). On the catwalk, I forget to strike a pose. My homage to Charli xcx doesn’t even make it on the podium.

This might sound like a pre-Fashion Week – or post-Brat summer – fever dream, but a growing population of style-minded gamers will see it for what it really is: a round of the ruthless fashion game Dress to Impress.

So how would you like to define “addiction”? We all know that there are several proper definitions of it according to study fields like medical science, psychology, and many more. Yet, I’m asking you to define it because I believe it’s important to define such things by ourselves. Because before defining it by yourself, you will take some time to think about it – how you feel about it, and I think that is what’s really important. Of course, I am not telling you to ignore the proper dentitions provided by the experts – we will definitely take those definitions and studies into account as we move forward.

To me “addiction” is a habit that one does not have control over. The starting of it may be simple or fun, but as time passes the habit does not stay as simple as it was in the beginning. It becomes so complicated that overcoming it needs a really powerful force. Along with it, I think the habit of “addiction” harms the one who is addicted, it also may harm the ones close to that person, and it surely has detrimental environmental, social, economic, and health aspects.

This Autumn/Winter 2025 New York Fashion Week was a reminder of one of the ways that we believed, a decade ago, that fashion was going to change and then did not.

I had a chance to ponder that while laid up on crutches after surgery for a bone spur on my right ankle. No worries, I thought. Rather than navigate fashion week via subway, taxi and the CFDA’s new shuttle, I’ll attend digitally using all the great technology out there.

Nine years ago at The Wall Street Journal, I attended NYFW digitally as an experiment. It wasn’t great, but brands were just really cottoning on to Instagram and learning to live stream. TikTok hadn’t yet been invented. Lighting was usually difficult, having been set up for the advantage of the photo pit and its still photographers. The video cameras — sometimes just an intern’s iPhone — often had awkward positioning. Much of the live streaming was being done via a then-new app called Periscope — remember it? Twitter acquired it in 2015 and killed it in 2021. Another one bites the dust. Source Vogue magazine 💖
