It's The Summer of Rage, says Rebecca Traister on The Cut, and white men are the minority, they feel threatened, challenged and uncertain.
In times when we are happy to count calories (bathing suit test anyone?), carbs and BDE as in Big Dick Energy, it all makes total sense.
“BDE is a quiet confidence and ease with oneself that comes from knowing you have an enormous penis and you know what to do with it.”
Good thing, you don't have to have a D to possess some BDE.
I'm going to show you via the Miu Miu Cruise 2019 show that just happened in Paris how much BDE was in the room. Some show notes, first.
The show space designed by 6-time Academy Award nominated designer Sarah Greenwood (maj BDE crush) , bathed with infused light to emulate the twilight atmosphere known to cinematographers as the Golden Hour. The contrast between the cinematic set design, a Belle Epoque luxury hotel setting, and an ancient symbol of radical resistance (hello, la signora is living through these words) perfectly sets the stage for the Miu Miu collection.
