This week, we’re joined by Sofia Lai—fashion stylist, visual artist, and the genius behind our looks this season. But styling is just one piece of her story. Sofia takes us through her shift from fashion to sculptural art, using her work to explore insomnia, the body, and self-acceptance. We dive into her artist residency, where she embraced vulnerability by creating in front of strangers, and get real about societal norms, ageing in fashion, and breaking out of the boxes we’re put in. Plus, we spill on The Substance—would we take it? Should we? Let’s discuss.
