The Nepo Report is our lovingly raised eyebrow at the rarefied world of fashion’s most exclusive darlings—labels with artisanal hems, poetic press releases, and price tags that read like rent. It’s a dispatch from the front row and the fitting room, where hand-stitched imperfection is suddenly a luxury, and cultural cachet comes bundled with a linen pouch and an origin story in Tuscany. Think of it as high fashion through a well-informed squint: part critique, part cultural study, part "couldn’t you find that at the thrift if you squinted?"—but you didn’t, and this cost four grand.
