Loved the Toni Morrison callout about apolitical art. The whole Sweeney thing is so calculated, like shes performing domesticity while building aempire. Reminds me of those Instagram accounts that romanticize cottage core but are actually run by branding agencies. The tradwife aesthetic has always been political whether people admit it or not.
Love the term Trad Nouveau. But self awareness is not something I would associate with any conservative celebrity like Melania or Sweeney. I think if it wasn’t the ONLY thing going on and we weren’t forced to look at it against our will it would have been forgotten already. But in America our media and worldview feels like it’s shrinking. And it just reminds me of how few other pov’s we have now. :(

Exactly
Genuinely think Anora is responsible for the Herve Legerissance
Genius take…and true
Loved this! 'Trad Nouveau' actually reminds me of the 'Boom Boom' aesthetic a lot, both being camp-ified conservative period fashion.

Have been looking at vintage Hervé dresses online for like the past 2 years without taking the plunge so very sad to see the prices going up :/
