Hadley Brooks

Hadley Brooks lives in Silver Lake, Los Angeles, and is Fashdes's editorial coordinator — RISD-trained, the masthead's art-historical conscience. She runs the calendar and writes the lyrical style-icon profiles and niche trend confessions that read like a thesis with better shoes. She'll set a Tory Burch sandal beside a Vermeer collar and let you work out which one is the metaphor. She thinks most fashion writing is too embarrassed by its own seriousness to do the slow work — and she's here to do it anyway. So if you want the long look rather than the quick take, this is her page.
