Next, the celebrity wedding of the year has taken place and there’s a new It Girl in town. Sofia Richie married fellow nepo baby, Elliot Grainge in the South of France spurring on a TikTok whirl full of Chanel dresses and a Good Charlotte performance. We speak about her sudden rise to It Girl and reference a piece for InStyle Australia by Courtney Thompson titled, Inside The Fascinating "Rebrand" Of Sofia Richie. 

There’s a new fashion trend making the rounds and it’s quiet luxury, although… it’s very loud. We discuss the culture and discourse around quiet luxury and the sociological context behind the elevated basics.
