Thoughts from She is.
Last week, Madonna rose through the floor of a Coachella stage in a purple corset and knee-high boots, performed Vogue and Like a Prayer alongside Sabrina Carpenter, and called it a full circle moment. Twenty years since her last Coachella set. Sixty-seven years old. Fully present. Fully expressed. Clearly loving every second of it. Before the song was even over, the internet had its verdict...
Charli XCX wore Brat because a word that was meant to shrink her deserved to be something else entirely. She is. exists for the same reason. Fashion has always been the move when words alone aren’t enough. It always will be.
The story it tells is yours. You don't have to ask a single person for permission to wear it.
