capricorn is the sign of physical materialisation or manifestation of the divine being, the practice of prayer, spiritual visualisation, and yoga. most capricorns are old souls with tremendous karma and responsibilities from heaven, and the capricorn in tune with the inner self follows a professional, familial, and personal life path with the same route and destination as a spiritual pilgrimage
i’m not surprised at everything that unfolded for d&g but i’m just disappointed that it took so long for the industry to finally open their eyes, look past the profitability of the company to see the true intentions of the co-designers were. stefano specifically, has always caused trouble on social media and yet people in the industry (and consumers too) continued to turn a blind eye in favour of d&g as a “brandsake”.
the impact it has on the industry is major - and outside of it too. china makes (well, made) up for a third of d&g business retail, and asia itself majors a play role in profit sales for the industry, so for china as a whole to shut down their association with china goes shows just how powerful consumer action can be, and that it could be detrimental for any business. it’s unfortunate that it took so long because (industry) media don’t wanna call them out as there was money involved. d&g have thrived because of because the industry have literally kissed ass and allowed them to continue to thrive, and as long as there is revenue, that is why it continued to exist well, hopefully until now. hopefully hopefully this serves as a note for all industry writers and names to understand that businesses and brands are representative of the industry and for people as a whole, and that they (we) should only aim to associate with: designers and businesses who are aligned morally and ethically. so many many stockists in china/asia have already dropped the business from their stores and that speaks volume in action. angelica cheung, eic vogue china said that this d&g issue is a huge “wake-up call: a 1.4 billion population is for sure a huge consumption power, but if you don’t get it right, hundreds of millions of people voicing their outrage on social media is a powerful force, hard to ignore.”
d&g, aside from all their extravagant, but overdone and very mediocre collections, have always had issues. they’ve been called out for racist/sexist comments and ‘jokes’, cultural appropriation and the list goes on. (more here that i’ve expressed in my dislike) hopefully this teaches everyone that what goes on the internet exists forever and that consumers are reflective of a success or failure of a business.
reap what you sow, is all i can really think on this.
trust that the loving energy you fuse into the universe will come back to you, maybe not in the time frame or ways you are expecting, but it will find you and warm you, this exchange is eternal
i only like wearing the really short bike shorts when i’m wearing skirts or dresses but i’m not really fond of them. we all can’t be well dressed and people have different styles so we can’t stop people from dressing how they want but don’t worry, natural selection will come for them.
you spoil me! unfortunately there wasn’t anything this season that made my heart ache (f/w was a bit weak this season) but i have been eyeing this older season mcqueen tuxedo dress for a while! practical? perhaps not, but it is the most beautifully tailored dress i have ever seen with all the right jewellery accessories.

capricorn is independent, ambitious, and successful in her own right. she will make substantial investments into career and education to make the necessary professional and social advances.
this is also a great contradiction and source of confusion for capricorn. they want to achieve all of these feats alone, but with someone there and waiting for her at the finish line. she is a self-sufficient and self-actualised person who has been taking full care of herself since she was quite young, she is now a woman of the times. a woman of time and eras.
for all of her sass and self-reliance, she can be surprisingly swooned by old fashioned romantic gestures, vintage charm with classic romance films, beautiful dresses and doors opened, protection, promise, and always respect,
but most importantly, she wants to be shown that she is someone capable of love and being loved, someone feminine but never underestimated, someone who can stop trying to be dainty and quiet because she fears she is too much
love her like a queen and she will give you eternity to hold in your hands
