The butler will see you in.
Freak Palace is a fashion newsletter written by Isabel Slone (me!) interrogating consumption habits and why we buy the things we do.
Another newsletter?
I know, I know! But I write for readers who are, like me, critical of the fashion establishment industrial complex yet love act of getting dressed with a passion that borders on unhinged. I plan to publish a mix of old school fashion criticism, off-the-cuff opinion pieces, reported essays about the state of the industry, product recommendations, and discuss personal style inspiration.
Who am I?
If your mind immediately conjured an image of Ben Stiller looking into a puddle in Zoolander then congratulations, we share a single brain cell. Short answer: I’m a fashion and lifestyle journalist based in Toronto, Ontario. I have a soft spot for the unique and surprising. I’ve been writing about fashion professionally since 2012 and have been published in the New York Times, ELLE, the Wall Street Journal, Harper’s Bazaar, The Strategist and more. Lauren Chan once called me “the Lauren Sherman of Canada.”
I was put on earth to do two things: ask questions and witness all the beauty this world has to offer. Broadly, this newsletter combines both.
