Top takeout? Anna’s revolution is over. She lost. Not personally, of course – she accrued significant riches herself, and her name is literally hewn into stone over a chunk of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Just don’t call her Ozymandias! But the things she represented are over, and nothing illustrates it in quite such withering fashion as the gathering on the Grand Canal of Instagram’s apex predators.Don’t worry – this isn’t going to be another article over-egging the fact that someone has unfurled some protest banner or something on a Venetian church.

3 w. ago Haunted couture: dressing like a ghost has captured the zeitgeist

From Dior and Chloé to Australia’s runways, a spectre is haunting fashion. But is it a sign of resignation or rebellion?“The look of the summer is going to be kind of haunted,” wrote fashion editor Rachel Tashjian in her newsletter, Opulent Tips, this April. Without a crystal ball – or holding a seance – she couldn’t have known Dior’s Resort 26 collection would be made up of spectral gowns and accompanied by a film featuring ghosts called Les Fantômes du Cinéma.
