The horse that died like a man shirt

Product Description

At my first appointment The horse that died like a man shirt I worked with a bridal assistant who was similar in size to me. I knew this person understood what it was like to exist in a bigger body and wouldn’t suggest things that wouldn’t fit or suit my shape. The salon, NYC’s Sarah Seven, had even called me the day before to ask me about my wants, expectations, fears and budget. I felt amazing after the call, and went into the appointment really believing they wanted me to have a good experience. I didn’t get my dress there – though I fell in love with a $5,000 option that was far outside my budget – but I left feeling supported and prepared for future appointments. Instead, things got decidedly less fun. At a different salon, a bridal assistant – who could not have been bigger than a US street size 2 – brought me a gown I asked to see in a street size 8. When I told her that it would never go over my hips, she gently suggested we try. I obliged, knowing full well that I was setting myself up for a meltdown. As I shimmied and wiggled, the assistant tried to help, pushing softly on my upper thigh to get it into the unforgiving satin sheath. When the fabric looked as though it might rip, I started sweating. I said it wasn’t working and that I’d need to take it off.

Of course The horse that died like a man shirt one person’s tat has always been another’s treasure. As the author Lucy Lethbridge notes, souvenirs are rooted in ideas around taste. “I mean, 50 years ago it may be that tourists took home kitsch things because they thought they were beautiful,” she says. “Nowadays, the young know that kitsch is kitsch but it’s very knowing, it’s a sort of camp aesthetic which is popular.” While Balenciaga’s souvenir-inspired look costs £8,500, on TikTok users have got to work emulating it on the cheap. Scouting out beaten up bags from vintage sites, there are detailed tutorials on how to “Jane Birkin-ify” them, a reference to the actor who was known for covering the Hermès Birkin bag she inspired with cheap trinkets and Free Tibet stickers. Pop stars, including Dua Lipa and Lily Allen, have joined the trend of adorning bags with tchotchkes. On the secondhand platform Depop, searches for bag charms this month are up 29%.
