Alex Consani Wins Model of The Year…

While Alex Consani has been absolutely slaying the game this year, some feel that her friend and fellow model Anok Yai was once again snubbed for this prestigious award.

In a heartfelt message shared on X (formerly Twitter), Yai congratulated Consani, writing, "Alex, I love you and I’m so proud of you. British Fashion Council, thank you but I don’t want it anymore." She emphasized her pride in Consani's accomplishments, acknowledging the immense effort Consani put into her career. However, Yai also conveyed her personal exhaustion with the industry's demands, stating, "But Alex can be proud and I can be exhausted at the same time."

The Model of the Year award, presented by the British Fashion Council, recognizes a model's global influence, contribution to the industry, and impact beyond the runway. Consani's triumph comes after a remarkable year, including appearances at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show and covers of Teen Vogue. In her acceptance speech, Consani honored Black transgender models who paved the way for her success, noting the importance of inclusivity and support within the industry.

Although Yai, 26, was also nominated for the prestigious award, having walked for major fashion houses like Versace, Bottega Veneta, and Marc Jacobs, her acknowledgment of Consani’s win reveals a complex mix of admiration and personal fatigue. Both Yai and Consani’s recognition at the Fashion Awards highlights the evolving landscape of the fashion industry, where both hard work and inclusivity are increasingly celebrated.

Who do you think should have been crowned?🏆

In the crush of exams and last-ditch attempts to catch up with friends, I’m looking for inspiration. Here’s to those who seem to have a better grasp on that than I do. 

1. Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow ༄ This is a novel about art. It is also about video games and friendship and disability and old loves, but it is mostly about art. Thank you, Gabrielle Zevin, for the “because” of it all. 

2. Things I Don’t Want to Know ꣑ৎ‎ Deborah Levy!!! That’s all I need to say, really. As I feel all the time (but she writes with much more skill), “it was very urgent that I got out of my life.”

3. “This Morning” 🕊This poem is simple and breathless, and those are both good things. It’s what I’m always looking for, and it demands I keep looking. For a minute or two, all I do is “see what I was seeing / and nothing else.”

Christmas Cocktails You Need to try!❄️

Eggnog Espresso Martini☕

The creamy texture, sweetness, and gentle warming-spice notes of homemade eggnog make it a versatile base for many cocktail flavor pairings. Use it to replace the cream or milk in any of your favorite dairy-based cocktails—like matcha or chai martinis—to add a taste of the holidays. Whatever you choose, once you add this to your holiday cocktail rotation, it’s not coming out.

White Cranberry Cosmo🍸

With nostalgic foods and drinks on the rise, the Cosmo is in the perfect place to shine again after its Sex And The City moment. Keeping much of the same vein as the classic, this cocktail gets a boost from white cranberry juice and an aroma of fresh rosemary. The candied cranberries are totally optional, but are a fun way to really drive home the holiday spirit.

Yule Mule🦌

This Christmas cocktail is just as refreshing and bright as the traditional version, but makes a few festive swaps that make it perfect for the holidays. Instead of lime juice, we opt for the classic winter combination of cranberry and orange. We also give the mule a holiday twist by using rosemary instead of mint. There’s also a sprig used as a garnish, so you get a whiff of the festive holiday fragrance with every sip.

Eighth Grade (Bo Burnham)🤓

This movie captures the essence of being a pre-teen during the peak YouTube years when kids said Gucci, wore chokers unironically, and desperately wanted an invite to someone’s pool party. It captures middle school adolescence in all its awkwardness. Because it was filmed in 2018, I have the privilege of seeing bits and pieces of myself in the protagonist, Kayla. 

At times I felt embarrassment for both my middle school self and her. At other moments, I wanted to tell her that like most other things in life, the cringiness of middle school will pass. All in all, it captures the tenderness of navigating the highs and lows of those unromantic years.
