About Harling Ross Anton
Who writes this newsletter?
I’m Harling Ross Anton, a writer and brand consultant based in New York City. I started writing about style in college on a personal blog that no one read except my mom and a couple of friends.
From there I went on to work at the cult fashion media site Man Repeller, where I did everything from running social media accounts to writing essays about fashion to overseeing the fruition of partnerships with brands like Gucci and Chanel.
In 2018 I coined the phrase “dressing like a stick of butter,” which was written up in publications like The New York Times, Harper’s Bazaar, and Domino. Around the same time I coined “menocore,” a tongue-in-cheek term for the wave of outfits inspired by middle-aged women on beach vacations (think Diane Keaton in Something’s Gotta Give), which was written about by The New York Times, as well as The Guardian and Vogue.
