Fashion week is real life Instagram

Fashion week is real life Instagram

Ever wondered if Fashion Week is just a big wank fest? Michelle and Zara went down to VAMFF this week to check it all out, and Mich walked away with a few key concerns about the festival. Plus, we deep-dive the months-long saga involving Ryan Seacrest and try to make sense of sexual misconduct allegations that are made public before they're proven. Oh, and do we have any right to know about Bella Hadid’s face? It feels like now more than ever plastic surgery is prevalent among our youngest and brightest stars. So what the hell do we make of it all? If you're interested in a comprehensive explainer on Ryan Seacrest, Variety have done some great reporting on the issue: http://variety.com/2018/tv/news/ryan-seacrest-sexual-abuse-allegations-stylist-details-1202710460/ You're so welcome to join the conversation in our Facebook group!
