Pre-show at @prada FW26. Milan Fashion Week ⚡️

@prada FW26 was one of those shows you just had to be in the room for. As someone who has spent years moving through this industry, there are collections that feel like background noise and then there are collections that actually stop you. This was the latter.

Miuccia Prada and @rafsimons continue to build something genuinely rare together. The FW26 collection was sharp. There was a tension between utility and elegance that ran through every look, and it never felt forced. The tailoring was exceptional, the palette was studied without being cold, and the overall vision felt like a house that knows exactly what it is and has no interest in chasing anything else. That kind of confidence is becoming increasingly rare in fashion.

The atmosphere in the room was electric. Always incredible to be surrounded by people who genuinely love this world, and it was great to see @bellahadid back after a long time too. A full Prada episode is coming very soon on The Fashion Insider. Stay tuned ⚡️

The yellow notebook goes everywhere with me. Front row, backstage, wherever the story is. Every thought and every observation, every single thing I see and feel goes straight into these pages. And then I take it all to The Fashion Insider and tell you all everything!

Subscribe on @spotify ⚡️ New episodes every Friday. Coming up, the Met Gala, the latest from the show and world of fashion, everything happening in fashion right now. But this notebook has darker pages too. The Epstein files, the agents, the agencies, the shady dealings, the offers that models receive and never talk about. With the good comes the bad so it’s only fair that I tell you about all sides of the fashion coin. We are just getting started ⚡️

REPOST @nakullax Jeffrey Epstein owned a modelling agency. He funded it with $1 million. His associate Jean-Luc Brunel ran it. The same man who had previously run Karin Models and held a stake in Next Model Management.

MC2 recruited teenage girls from Eastern Europe, South America and Africa. Flown in on promises of modelling work. Housed in apartments owned by Epstein in Manhattan. A former MC2 bookkeeper told the FBI the girls were loaned to wealthy clients for up to $100,000 a night. And were not paid if they refused.

Victoria’s Secret was an MC2 client. So were dozens of other major fashion brands. Modelling gave the operation credibility and cover. The industry knew something was wrong. It kept the relationship anyway.

This was not just one man. Gérald Marie ran Elite Model Management’s European arm for 25 years. Connected to both Epstein and Brunel. Elite’s own founder once said of Brunel: everyone knew he was a creep. He should be behind bars. They all knew each other. They all operated inside the same industry. Using the same access to the same girls.

The modelling industry is still almost entirely unregulated. Girls as young as 14 can still be legally signed to agencies in many countries. The playbook has not changed. The names have.

Both Epstein and Brunel died in prison before a full trial. The full truth died with them. But the system that made them possible is still intact.

Cutting plastic out of your life is simple and easy. Pledge to stop using plastic straws and join us on a journey toward zero waste for the health of ourselves, animals and our planet. I now use copper straws, they're not only an excellent substitute for plastic straws but they're super trendy and quite a fashion statement if you ask me. I carry one around with me wherever I go and it's time you joined me in doing so too. If copper isn't your thing, there's glass straws, stainless steel straws and bamboo straws to name a few, all of which are eco friendly. @noplasticstraws @plasticpollutes #SkipTheStraw #SaveASeaTurtle #PlasticPollutes
