The Chai Collection

Item
A quiet luxury essential. Soft cashmere wrapped in subtle symbolism: part Parisian nonchalance, part nomadic spirit. It’s the kind of piece that doesn’t try to stand out, yet somehow defines the entire look.

Actress
A new kind of Hollywood apparition. With an old-soul presence and an instinct for mood, she carries the legacy of cinema while feeling distinctly her own. There’s something hauntingly delicate in her aura, like a starlet wandering through a dream she hasn’t quite woken from.

Movie
A story where desire becomes a quiet rebellion. Between forests, rain, and stolen glances, passion grows against the weight of class and convention. It feels earthy and intimate; love not as fantasy, but as something wild enough to change a life.

Album
Ethel Cain (Preacher's Daughter 2022)
A Southern gothic confession whispered through reverb and shadow. Hymns turn into hauntings, where faith, sin, and girlhood bleed into one another. Preacher’s Daughter unfolds like a tragic American myth: beautiful, unsettling, and impossible to escape.

Fashion Show
Chloé (Fall/Winter 2026)
A quiet return to feminine freedom. Soft tailoring meets bohemian ease: flowing layers, earthy palettes, and silhouettes that move like poetry. Chloé reaffirms its romantic spirit: effortless, sensual, and deeply modern.

Book
The Master and Margarita (Bulgakov)
Madness, magic, and Moscow. A surreal, haunting masterpiece where the Devil visits the Soviet Union; it’s satire, romance, and philosophy all in one. I love how it turns chaos into poetry.

Movie
Jeanne du Barry (2023)
A portrait of elegance and rebellion. Maïwenn’s Jeanne is both muse and monarch of her own fate: the costumes, the longing, the restraint. It feels like Versailles dipped in melancholy.

Fashion Show
Valentino (Michele’s First Collection)
A baroque rebirth of romance. Where excess meets emotion: lace, volume, and symbolism. Michele turns Valentino into a poetic dreamscape, a love letter to craft and character.

Album
Jeff Buckley (Grace 1994)
A voice that feels like prayer and heartbreak intertwined. Every song drips with longing: raw, ethereal, and devastatingly human. “Lover, You Should’ve Come Over” still sounds like an open wound dressed in velvet.

Podcast
Fashion Neurosis (Bella Freud)
Conversations stitched with style, memory, and melancholy.
Tangled with identity, nostalgia, and desire. It feels like eavesdropping on a creative mind mid thought surrounded by velvet and ideas.

Article
British Vogue
A mirror held up to modern intimacy. Playful but piercing, it dissects the quiet shame around wanting love in an age obsessed with irony and self sufficiency. It’s social commentary dressed as confession: clever, a little cruel, and painfully true.

Actor
Caleb Landry Jones
Unsettling, poetic, and almost otherworldly, he carries the chaos of genius on screen.
There’s fragility beneath the madness like a Rimbaud spirit lost in cinema.

Item
Balmain Military Jacket (2009)
The moment fashion picked up a guitar. Balmain turned structure into seduction: sharp shoulders, metallic threads, and rockstar nonchalance. It wasn’t just a jacket; it was a manifesto for a generation raised on glam and rebellion.

Exhibition
Marie Antoinette (V&A Museum)
A study in excess, elegance, and perception. Silk gowns and porcelain pastels; the exhibition captures a woman who became myth. Beyond the opulence lies the question of image: how beauty and tragedy can coexist within one crown.
