wanting to hold a lighter up to, " I think it’s funny that, pre-2020, Reformation had the exact same taste in white girls as Leonardo DiCaprio."

This made me want to subscribe to their emails because WTF but also maybe they should give you free clothes then?

You could not have reshared this at a better time. I was just lolling at their recent email and wondering if anyone else felt the same. Ily for this!

Oh it's not like a big secret-y secret at all, I work for CB2. Not on the email team but there's only two other writers besides me here. Chris Black tweeted one of our subject lines once (without the sender info thank g) and I was like oh yikes oh no. We're not fashion but we look there all the time for creative inspo, though we've definitely "evolved" past the Reformation-esque voice in the past couple of years. Whatever that means.

Omg can I just say the CB2 subject lines crack me up too.. like i love when it’s a normal email and lowercase and then A SALE COMES ALONG AND IT’S LOUD
