According to Pitchfork.com, Charli XCX is back with her new song, “SS26.” It arrives alongside visual from “Von Dutch” director Torso, which places Charli in the glamorous chaos of a major fashion show. She rocks a variety of looks on and off the runway and even recovers from a catwalk stumble straight out of Sex and the City and that is all before her dressing room explodes.
The artist first teased the new song in Substack post Monday by posting a text that appeared to be either song lyrics or a fashion-capsule manifesto. “Think my politics could work as a press strategy,” she wrote, “And my heritage could give me quite the USP/Can’t hide the fact I’d rather take the easy road.” The video continues the theme, set on a runway that “goes straight to hell” during a couture season that just might coincide with “when the world is gonna end.” It opens with a guest appearance from former Vogue Paris editor-in-chief Carine Rotfield, who remarks from the front row: “Fashion won’t save us. But let’s go on the runway and walk.” The singer Abra also makes a cameo.
