Alexander Fury is the men's fashion critic of the Financial Times newspaper and the fashion features director of AnOther magazine. He comes back on the show to discuss being front row at what he describes as the “first big return of physical fashion shows.” That is, the live presentations showcasing the Spring/Summer 2022 men's ready-to-wear collections and the Autumn/Winter ‘21 Paris couture.  Alex offers a rare insight to the critically acclaimed debut of Azzedine Alaïa's creative director, Pieter Mulier, and also the extraordinary reveal of Demna Gvasalia's inaugural Balenciaga couture collection. This includes details of Gvasalia's olfactory collaboration with the Norwegian artist, Sissel Tolass.  Alex's view from Venice includes his thoughts on how Saint Laurent's Anthony Vaccarello and Valentino's Pier Paolo Piccioli “interacted” with the art world. Amidst all of this, he talks about the sort of Covid-19 protocols he encountered during fashion's return to “business as usual” plus the reported demise of the glossy magazine “super editor.” His ultimate takeaway? “The couture shows very much sent a message about the resilience of fashion,” states Alex. “And they sent a message about the kind of joy of fashion, the joy of dressing up. When people ask for a justification for the existence of couture….you know, couture is really about joy, and about exuberance, and creating clothes that can really make people dream. And I think that was a message that you drew away from these shows. Absolutely.” Please rate, review and subscribe to A Different Tweed. Share it with your friends. Thanks for listening!

Blue Dream, Green Crack, Gorilla Glue, Wedding Cake. All of these strains had their time in the spotlight before fading away as more strains gained popularity. And the strains that are popular now will face a similar fate soon enough. Such is the process of cannabis breeding and selective genetics. Dubbed “The Blue Dream Effect”, it is the process of a strain blowing up on the market to the point where everybody is growing it…until they aren't. Maybe it is a new, better strain that uses the original as a parent, or an entirely different strain that doesn't even compare. One way or another, a strain that sits at the top can't sit there forever. In the final segment of The Real Dirt ft. Front Row Ag, Chip and his guests discuss selective breeding and grow design trends.
