Ahead of his solo show, I invited Simon Marsiglia - my long-time friend, artist, and a professional hoarder - to talk about his clothes addiction, why his work reminds me of “Clothes Discovery Channel”, how fetish and the bottom line collide in amature Vinted photography, Simon’s fashion failures, and his Armenian bag called Givench.

5. Monastic perfumes and artworld faux-pas w Zazie Stevens
I invited my friend, artist-writer and editor zazie stevens of DAISYWORLD Cal, to talk all things nature: the itchy, the cringe, the gross, and the spooky. We do a TSA check of her cute Y-3 bedazzled pouch and spill the tea about queer ecology (still unclear on the exact definition, but it is out of fashion, so I guess I am safe), the cleansing powers of freezers, Lara Croft coded rituals, and why pretending to be a stone is not a viable option.Links:Zazie Stevens InstagramDaisyworld cal SubstackElizaveta Federmesser InstagramElizaveta Federmesser SubstackBAGMAG InstagramGet a copy of BAGMAG This is a public episode.
