What’s in your shopping trolley? 🛒 👀

Sunday mornings for me are all about “getting back in touch with the world”. Not just with “my world”, consisting of my friends and family, but also with what’s going on “out there”. Reading international newspapers is the best way of getting a sense of what’s happening across the globe 😅🗞️🌎. And beyond the major headlines, there are plenty of small, quiet, everyday moments worth discovering that can make us think and broaden our horizons.

For example, while flicking through an American newspaper, I stumbled across an article about a US photographer who has been snapping drag queens doing their grocery shopping 🛍️ since 2016. Yep, you read that right! Capturing them in the supermarket aisles with their shopping lists in hand. Why? Because we all eat, we all have our own likes, dislikes, flaws, beliefs, and so on. And food (just like clothes) is one of the most powerful ways to express our personality. So, “peeking into someone else’s shopping trolley” 🛒 is like “putting yourself in someone else’s shoes” 😅🥿👠👢. It’s a way to connect with others, understand them better, consider things from their perspective and break down those pesky stereotypes.

Now, wouldn’t it be fun (though a little tricky!) to sneak a peek at other people’s shoe racks too? (I know I’m biased! 😉) But perhaps we can compromise. How about checking out what’s in their shopping trolley and taking a glance at their footwear while they push it?! Because food and fashion go hand in hand, and everyone deserves their own personal menu that changes daily (or almost!).

I do my best to give you a taste of something new with every collection… the rest is up to you!

Catch you next Sunday, Marco ❤️
