The last time I bought a watch at a mall was sometime in the ’80s. It was a Swatch, which I wore until I fell off my skateboard and smashed the plastic crystal. Ever since, my watches have all come by way of various dealers and fellow collectors. I didn’t expect to get the urge
Lotta Volkova might be fashion’s preeminent guy-behind-the-guy. She’s the longtime stylist for Demna Gvasalia’s Balenciaga and Vetements, but her responsibilities for those two brands are much further-reaching than that role, including running the shows’ groundbreaking casting, and weighing in on silhouettes, fabrics, and products.
