This week has undoubtedly been stressful, but we’ll remember it for a while. More than anything, our body and spirit need to get used to something good happening again. In recent days two good things have happened: the absolute defeat that the American midterms inflicted on Trump and his national-accelerationists, which almost intoxicated us with the prospect of a day when we would no longer hear about the orange president, his tech-oligarchs and his Court of Miracles; and Martine Rose’s arrival at Balenciaga by popular demand, which has shown us that the gods of fashion (in this case, Luca De Meo) sometimes listen to the prayers of their people. Of course, it’s a shame for Pierpaolo Piccioli, who was given his marching orders in less than eighteen months, but sometimes the wheel just turns and, frankly, every now and then space has to be made for the new. Who knows, maybe like King Louis XV, tired of the pressures of his favourite, he too said: “Après moi, le déluge.”
