Anastasia Vartanian

Fashion Commentator & Fashion Journalist

Anastasia Vartanian, otherwise known as @FatAnnaWintour, is a fashion content creator and journalist with a specialty in memes and pop culture analysis.

Anastasia’s online presence follows this philosophy, using humour to bring fashion commentary into the modern day. She's not afraid to be critical, either: she cuts through the noise of PR speak that surrounds the industry by speaking openly about it. Started in 2019, her Instagram has caught the attention of fashion figures including Bella Hadid and Violet Chachki. Posting everything from emerging designers to fashion history gems to random pop culture deep dives, she thinks it’s all worth documenting.

She’s also passionate about topics like plus size representation and fashion under late stage capitalism. She’s a writer at Glamour UK, columnist at Polyester Zine, and has been published in Dazed, I-D and 1Granary.

Angelica Wolanska

Movement Director & Choreographer

Angelica Wolanska is a movement director and choreographer based in London and Paris. She graduated from Oxford University in 2021 with first class honours in Languages and Literature. Her studies continually drew her to the question of reality and representation within real-world structures and artistic dialogue — their culmination became a thesis (and theoretical grounding) on language and movement, whereby movement emerged as the more veridical and unmediated mode of expression. A classically trained dancer, she merges her theory and practice in image and video making spaces by cultivating an environment that favours the artist(s) performance, concerned with capturing mood, feeling and sense. She leans towards ironic, playful and often sensual aesthetics that toy with the tension between what is considered high- and low-brow art. She has worked with artists and brands within underground and popular culture, and particularly those who bridge the two — her credits including PinkPantheress, Qendresa, Confidence Man, Sinead Gorey, Dreaming Eli, Shygirl, Beabadoobee, ELIZA, George Riley, Sugababes and Kiki Kostadinov among others. Her work has been shown at the Southbank Centre in London, FAWW Gallery and 3537 in Paris, and featured in publications such as Vogue, GQ, Dazed, i-D, SHOWstudio, The Face, Nowness, AnOther and Perfect magazines. Currently, her personal research practice is concerned with phenomenology and new bodily subjectivities — considering fleshly, sensuous living within real-world and digital structures.

understitch,

Fashion Documentarian

understitch, is a democratisation of reliable fashion information. Primarily through YouTube, understitch, explores brand histories in a detail that is often not accessible online, especially through a focus on retail evolution. This unique point of view combines creative and commercial in a way that helps the viewer understand the hard-to-define intangible value accrued within a brand over their lifetime. This extends to underskin, also where beauty retailing is explored in a similar manner. Democratisation of beauty media with a focus on retailing helps to explain why each brand may have value to a consumer. By delivering an accessible way for people to learn the historic values of brands, both underskin, and understitch, help people understand how their purchase decisions matter to them individually in a way I hope encourages loyalty. Simply, the information helps people engage with brands on a deeper intellectual and emotional level that befits their personal interest. Recently I have been fortunate enough to work with Loewe, discovering lost media from the 1990s and compiling the most comprehensive history of the brand ever written, and with Stella McCartney with whom we compiled a history of the Falabella bag to celebrate the bag’s 15th anniversary. My work has also been recognised and encouraged by several important figures in fashion, many of whom are included in videos via various quotes. Further, as an extension, understitch, has released two books; The Life and Death of Isabella Blow and Chanel Inc.. They are significant expansions of what is available on YouTube, but considers the original ethos of the brand by democratising fashion research. Considering they are self-published they succeed at being both inexpensive and unendingly in print; the information will never be lost nor inaccessible.

Yussif Nii Quao Solomon

Filmmaker & Photographer

Yussif Nii Quao Solomon is a talented self-taught Ghanaian filmmaker and photographer building his practice from a deep engagement with the physical image. Based in Accra, his work navigates the intersection of fashion, music, and portraiture to map a new vision of West African identity, challenging norms of masculinity and capturing the energy of its youth. This focus has propelled his work for defining brands like SUBWAE Studios and Free the Youth Ghana alongside artist like Amaarae and Black sherif. His distinctive visual style is deeply informed by his parallel work within Accra's film photography community, where his practice is rooted in the material processes of film development, workshop facilitation, and alternative approaches like cyanotype and pinhole photography. This textured, hands-on sensibility defines his cinematic aesthetic, a perspective that has shaped his editorial work for Bully, GUAP, Contributor and Both Zeit campus and Zeit special edition magazines, and garnered recognition from international titles such as GQ Middle East and Vogue Germany. By channeling the energy of the local darkroom onto the global stage, Yussif positions himself not merely as an observer, but as an essential architect of Ghana’s modern visual narrative.
