A companion piece to: A Glitch in the Fabric


The Epilogues: a series that offers deeper interpretations of each archetype, through scent, soundtrack, literature, and atmospheric details, exclusive to paid subscribers.

Where the main piece outlines the history, structure, and core elements of a style, the Epilogue is a study of the smaller, lifestyle details that accompany each aesthetic. Each one will be different, from scent associations, flavor profiles, secret indulgences to reading materials and soundtracks.

Thank you for studying with me; I hope you enjoy. 🖤
