#006 : Why Are They Queueing Round the Block for a Supreme Microwave?

Tue, 13 Jun 2023 06:00:28 -0000

Welcome back to the wards...

This week the nurses discuss the fashion collaboration epidemic.

From Dua Lipa's Versace runway show, to Pharrell Williams' placement at Louis Vuitton, what place does celebrity have in today's fashion brands? Why do some succeed (Yeezy x Adidas) and others fail (Beyonce's Ivy Park, Rihanna's Fenty)?

Are artist collaborations better than celebrity ones - think Salvador Dali and Elsa Schiaparelli or Marc Jacobs Louis Vuitton bags featuring artworks from artists including Takashi Murakami, Yayoi Kusama & Jeff Koons, or Lee Alexander McQueens work with Damien Hirst.

The nurses discuss the pros and cons of designer crocs - from Christopher Kane to Balenciaga, and if Demna is just greedy with his collaborators (for SS17 Vetements collaborated with Alpha Industries, Brioni, Canada Goose, Carhartt, Champion, Church's, Comme des Garcons, Dr. Marten's, Eastpak, Hanes, Lucchese, Mackintosh, Manolo Blahnik, Reebok and Schott and more!)

They also question whether AI will replace designers and collaborations in general, and ask ChatGPT for some collab suggestions... Chanel x Hello Kitty anyone?

#005 : Somewhere between Visionaire and Pogs

Tue, 16 May 2023 06:00:28 -0000

After a week from hell, the nurses become patients as they’re tucked up on the ward licking their wounds.

Having been gifted grapes and numerous mediocre magazines, they ponder the topic of the publishing industry, and what the future has in store for fashion magazines and digital media companies.

With Paper Magazine closing its doors, Vice headed for bankruptcy, and Buzzfeed hiring AI to write for them, is there any hope?

The nurses discuss those advertising budgets being spread so thin between traditional publications, influencers, and social media ads’ and why on earth the public would pay for Vogue paywall content when they can curate their own feed by subscribing to their favorite creators on Substack, Patreon or Instagram?

…and the very crucial question, snog, marry, kill… Balenciaga trainers, Loewe fish in a bag, or a deck of playing cards featuring Rick Owens and Michelle Lamy modeling the Karma Sutra?

#004 : More Than One Way to Skin a Choupette

Tue, 09 May 2023 06:00:28 -0000

This week on the wards the nurses are drowning in Choupettes as they discuss the miaows and lows of the Met Gala.

Jared Leto, Lil Nas X, and Doja Cat have a red-carpet cat-fight. The nurses diagnose the (lack of) sexual mystique surrounding Anne Hathaway in Versace, and other highlights including Dua Lipa in Chanel, Kristen Stewart, and Cardi B in her Karl Lagerfeld demi-cosplay.

They discuss the correct approach to surgically separate the art from the artist, and whether Anna Wintour, Vogue & the Metropolitan Museum should be hanging their heads in shame, or if it's actually just like the crucifixion.

Also on the waiting list is the disappointing lack of camp at King Charles' coronation, whether Katy Perry or Kate Middleton will top the best-dressed list on the ward, and who the nurses would snog, marry or euthanize... Gianni Versace, Rei Kawakubo, or Alexander McQueen...

#003 : It's Always Good to Have a Title with the Olsen Twins In

Tue, 25 Apr 2023 06:00:53 -0000

This week on the wards the nurses are hard at it discussing the highs and lows of the Lyst index... the (long gone) glory days of Prada and Miu Miu, if the public is still scandalized by Balenciaga, and whether Carrie Bradshaw would wear any of the top 10 products.

Other hot topics at the Fashion Hospital include what the devil to wear on holiday (in fair Verona), Katy Perry and King Charles' special arrangement (what WILL she wear to the coronation?), and the important question of whether or not the Obama sisters are the new Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen.

The nurses also put their heads together to answer your critical emergency calls, and save the day yet again.

#002 : Timothée Chalamet and the Trompe L'oeil Toupée

Thu, 20 Apr 2023 15:45:28 -0000

Join the nurse Kathryn and nurse Thea on their coffee break at Fashion Hospital as they discuss the latest in fashion news, as well as answer your fashion emergencies.

Nurse Kathryn completes the FHDT, and the nurses discuss the "bloke-core" trend; think Bella Hadid in football tops, holiday dressing, your ghost outfit, Jeremy Scott's tenure at Moschino, and whether or not you can have a modern vs. vintage face. Does Timothée Chalamet look like he's seen an iPhone?

They also discuss your emergencies, covering such pressing topics as the best way to cover a bald head (trompe l'oeil toupée?), the best way to wear knee-high boots, and the dreaded leggings-induced camel toe.

Tue, 11 Apr 2023 06:30:00 -0000
