underneath every moment in fashion, there’s a strategy. or a rebellion. or both. how taste gets built (and broken). it’s about timing, references, subcultures, and the unspoken rules of the industry. hosted by amelie stanescu, this fashion podcast has episodes that mix deep dives, cultural analysis, and commentary on what’s happening: runway moments, the systems behind the image, and career moves you could—or probably shouldn’t—make. thinking out loud, and fashion happens to be the medium. that’s it. that’s the show basically. https://www.instagram.com/chez.amelie

ep. 54 - the hedi slimane boy + the ann demeulemeester girl in 2025

If the Margiela boy = Isabel Marant girl

then… is the Hedi Slimane boy = Ann Demeulemeester girl?

Nostalgia is a cycle we can’t seem to exit—and deep down, I find comfort in that.

After all, I’m a Cancer.

In this episode of The Fashion Archives podcast I trace the return of two iconic fashion archetypes: the Hedi Slimane boy and the Ann Demeulemeester girl.

From Dior Homme to Antwerp minimalism, blurry gig photos to Tumblr dashboards, we explore how the aesthetics of the 2000s and 2010s are being reimagined in 2025 through indie sleaze, post-punk, and quiet rebellion.

We talk Stefano Gallici’s vision for Ann Demeulemeester, the rise of 2hollis and Snow Strippers, the electro-emo music comeback, and the enduring appeal of skinny jeans, leather jackets, poet blouses, and lace-up boots.It’s about fashion formulas that never leave.

Subcultures that keep haunting us.

And how fashion, once again, is a tool for emotional expression in a world that’s oversaturated with trends.

If you’re into archive fashion, Hedi Slimane's Celine era, early YSL Homme, the Libertines, Crystal Castles, or even just vibing with the whole “hot people looking bad on purpose” aesthetic—this one’s for you.

And if you feel like fashion has nothing new to say… you might be right. hold that thought for the next episode
