Was h€r0in chic ever really out? Or did it just get repackaged — and served back to us as “being healthy and disciplined”?
In the 90s the name itself admitted the danger, and the standard was for models. Now the same look is the norm, sold as clean living and discipline and that rebrand matters, because you could push back on “pretty,” but nobody pushes back on “healthy.” Add an algorithm that serves it to you before you ever go looking, and the same old pressure arrives with a permission slip.
These slides are the short version. On my Substack I go deeper and get more personal: what our nonnas still know that we’re unlearning, and where GLP-1 fits into all this.
