Ah, me too, I spent years of passionately buying and collecting glossy magazines! I dreamed of working in fashion. After a couple of jobs in fashion, I abandoned the dream. I did see some horrific things. But I keep dreaming of it. I dream of finding something lovely and unpretentious. And it's funny to realize that the majority of my dream clothes reside in fictional territories (if you have a minute and are in the mood for a bit of fashion-talk through a literary prism, I invite you to read this essay: https://monikarepcyte.substack.com/p/biography-of-my-clothes).

I enjoyed your list of thematic references and I'm particularly interested in Doris Lessing, although I haven't read any of her work yet. Do you have any recommendations on where I should start?
