I was sitting front row at New York Fashion Week, I’d got the handbags, the glossy job... In many ways, it would be easy to look at me as the embodiment of ‘having it all’—which is how I knew that it wasn’t true or possible.

What is Brat?

(noun): a club-pop album by Charli XCX identified by a lurid shade of slime green.
(vibe): a girl with “messy 365 party energy”, who “says dumb things”, and is “honest, dumb, and a little bit volatile”.
Social media is in the throes of a full-scale Brat takeover. If you were online for a second this past month, you couldn’t have missed the neon green and blurred font on everything from fashion and latte art to politics, and of course, memes.
The brat girl aesthetic? “A pack of cigs, a Bic lighter, and a strappy white top with no bra.”
Anyone can be Brat, apparently, even US presidential hopefuls—Kamala Harris’s official campaign X account sported a green brat-coded banner, after Charli XCX declared: “kamala IS brat”, giving her endorsement to Harris.
