gosh it is soooo delicious for the mind to read all these juicy detailed descriptions of fashion in the excerpt! 🥲 I feel like I need a supplementary book of coloured plates alongside the book to really complete the reading experience...

ohhhh this was literally such a treat, almost electrifying to read?? I am literally going to the libby app as soon as I hit send on this comment lol. Jerry Hsu and Miyako Bellizzi mentions made me giddy (San Jose boy and Alameda girl killing it, love to see it)

Doesn’t she FEEL SO BAY to you tho? Like energetically all of you are so cool in a really specific way 😭😭😭

ok true there's some sort of ease that just exists!! I think some of it is absolutely weather-related… I didn't realize until recently how climate really shapes people's personalities and ways of being. but anwyays, I will happily be sacked in w viv, miyako and jerry anyday 😂

cecilia majzoub's avatar

YES!!!! or at least a few years back she’d shared on instagram stories for people to go to the Buddhist temple on pacific for the ceramics/home goods sale that her mother was apart of. So i perhaps assumed!!! but still!! bay area hive RISE

What a feast of 90s fashion nostalgia, Faye Wong, Galliano priest dresses, and the Monah Li Easter egg all in one conversation! I loved hearing how Moon's collection is an archive of her former selves, armor and legacy woven together.

If you could steal one piece from Moon's closet to wear just once, which would it be?
