I love what you’re saying — what you wrote is so beautiful.
The same thing has happened to me many times on this journey.
But you know something? It’s exactly like you said — each of these experiences is a rehearsal. Today you stay on the outside, but tomorrow you walk in with more confidence, more learning, and valuing the path so much more than if you had gotten in on day one.
What happens at Fashion Week is insane, and the energy people have there feels like they’re ready to conquer the world and explode with ambition.
As someone who always attends Fashion week events in Milan, not because I'm invited but because I'm part of the ‘furniture’ (I'm one of the artisans that brands are loving to put in front of people now), reading this kind of experiences is very interesting.
Particupating in Fashion week is very nice, especially when I'm on backstage, interacting with other workers and occasionally enjoying the party. But I feel a strong sense of discomfort when I have to interact with the guests.
There is a sense of hierarchy and class division that becomes very dense to me.

I loved what you wrote. You inspire me.
My sweet, Tina! This is such a beautiful read of it.
You’re right — rehearsal builds a different kind of confidence. The earned kind. The kind that doesn’t disappear under flashbulbs.
Fashion Week is chaotic, but the internal calibration is the real story.
So grateful you felt that. Love love love you <3
Reading this was really a revelation!!
Thank you for sharing.
I wish we could chat over coffee because reading this - I swear I felt like you were putting words to the same feeling I had !
AHHH! Falaknaz - tell me more!
We should have a virtual coffee. For real.
You are such a badass
Thanks for your constant love and support!

“Part of the furniture” is such a telling phrase!
It’s fascinating how proximity doesn’t always dissolve hierarchy. I'd love to hear more about that density — is it how people move? Speak?
