BLOG #1 – Week 1
Title: “Confessions of a Bulky (and Slightly Vengeful) Closet”
Author: Ren – founder of Rên-à-porter, and someone personally attacked by their own wardrobe
It happened on a totally average day.
I just wanted to “make space” in my closet.
Mistake #1.
Let this be a warning:
Never open the closet alone.
You need emotional support, legal counsel, and at least one snack.
The moment I cracked it open—boom.
Flared jeans. Sparkly vests. That one jacket that screamed, “Remember me? You were unstable and thought I was iconic.”
I sat on the floor.
Silently.
Among the ruins of my past identities.
And I asked myself a serious question:
Can a piece of clothing have more than one life… and can I survive watching it live them?
Enter Rên-à-porter – The Fashion Reloveution
Not a brand. A wardrobe reckoning.
Not a collection. A support group.
An unholy alliance between secondhand survival and stylistic delusion.
This isn’t about dressing better.
It’s about forgiving yourself—for buying, keeping, and believing in things like cargo rompers and holographic capes.
Because fashion forgets fast.
We don’t.
What you’ll find here every week:
Ideas for surviving trends without losing your soul Clothes with more attitude than your last situationship Celebs who wear ethics like they invented them And shared trauma disguised as fashion commentary
Celebrity Spotlight: Emma Watson
Emma Watson created @the_press_tour to showcase only sustainable, ethical, or upcycled looks while promoting her films.
Red carpet. No exploitation.
Maximum glamour, minimal damage.
This isn’t a phase—it’s fashion reform.
And she’s our unofficial press secretary.
Fan Fact of the Week
Audrey Hepburn had her favorite dresses altered through the years to fit changing times.
Not tossed. Not replaced.
Just transformed.
Legend status.
Not because she wore Givenchy—because she said “just add a sleeve” and kept living.
“Fashion, What Have You Done?”
At Milan Design Week 2025, MCM presented a dog-themed interactive installation.
There were pet-shaped poufs.
There were perfumes inspired by animals.
There was confusion.
It made no sense.
It made everyone smile.
It was… the future?
The Moral (if you’re into that):
Your closet doesn’t need more.
It needs an apology.
It needs your attention.
And possibly an exorcism.
PS: That coat that drags behind you like a performance piece?
And those skyscraper heels that turned brunch into a survival test?
They’ve made peace with who you were when you bought them.
They just want to know if they’re finally getting a second act—or if they’re being left to rot next to that mesh shirt you pretend you never owned.
Your Turn. Be Brave. Be Chaotic.
Got an item that looks you in the eye every time you open the closet?
Something too dramatic to wear, too haunted to donate?
Tell me in the comments.
Or post it with #StyleConfessions
No gender. No shame.
Only fashion. And maybe trauma.
Stay stylish, stay unhinged.
