Welcome To The Vibe Shift

Hi friends! 

Thanks for your patience on this episode. After two days stuck in Tasmania, our editor @india_raine has gotten back to Brisbane safely. 

After a quick catch-up we dive into the first viral fashion trend of 2022; the Miu Miu skirt. Next up, we discuss the Vibe Shift. Coined by trend forecaster, Sean Monahan, the idea took the internet by storm after The Cut’s Alison P. Davis wrote about it in a piece ‘A Vibe Shift Is Coming, Will Any Of Us Survive It?’. 

We chat about the idea, whether it’s simply millennials not wanting to age, and how it relates to writer Haley Nahman’s piece ‘The Death Of Sex’ from her newsletter, Maybe Baby.

This week, news broke around a change in Australian influencer laws. New advertising rules for social media influencers will change the way they’re allowed to promote health products, like sunscreen, skincare, vitamins, protein powders, collagen powders and other supplements.

We ask whether this is necessary or simply another way for women and LGBTIQA+ people to be financially penalised. We reference this article by The Australian and read comments made by scientist and content creator @ms_hannah_e. 

In recommendations, Maggie recommends a movie available on Binge titled ‘Unpregnant’ while Jas recommends Netflix’s ‘Inventing Anna’.

If you want to support people in NSW and QLD who are impacted by the devastating floods, head here. Our heart goes out to those affected. 

Love you all - stay safe.
