Creative Destruction: Screenshot Central

Screenshot Central #6 Milano Edition

Nicolas Cevallos — Mon, 11 May 2026 08:05:54 GMT

Self Explanatory, and who doesn’t like a special edition version of something just for the sake of it. About 70% of the screenshots I took in Milan or just after I came back (still works for me).

I dont know why this tweet just made me emotional, its about keep on going until you are tired, no pretensions just commitment.

found this project at CONVEY, they collect the first edition of different printed projects. You can access their archive here. You can use it as a tool to discover new publications, their research system is insane.

I grabbed what appeared to be a physical by zero.eu and as usual I lean into finding out who was art directing it/ designing it and thats how I found Pietro.

Dont remember what did I want to save here, but its a nice excuse to talk about YABANG, they have a nice collection of designer vintage in Bcn, their showroom is so fun to visit.

I grabbed this because first FOMO over not being able to attend this talk, second because I think this setup with the iPhones is genius and third as a reminder to the check this new project called ALBUM Media by Nacho Alegre from Apartamento and Paul Cournet, and Marco Velardi.

Thom Bettridge asking the real questions

There are connections between this one and the next one: loved this visual exploration of my friends Design Office Fun, specially this one that uses email chains as inspo.

I screenshotted this to remind myself to read Laura’s text, that you can find here, You can find the connection with the previous image when you read it.

Ever Since I learned that Avanope was leaving Heaven I was hesitant to know what her next step would be, certainly making barbies for all her friends sounds like the best first step.

Surprise Surprise, she is leading the new venture of W Magazine: W youth. Can’t wait to see the shape it takes. Cosima Croquet, Sofia Coppola’s daughter is gonna be involved as an editor. let’s see what happens.

I saw a guy wearing this hat on the street, and I had to look it up. I dont want to talk about the price, let’s just appreciate that this exists in the world.

We were on a vintage shop and came across some really weird shoes, they happened to be from this brand. Didn’t knew about it and now I do.

I saw this post and then went immediately to my cobbler, let's all be real ass walkers, use something until it needs to be repaired, fix and continue.

Hello my dear readers, my folder opens again to unveil some of the corners of the internet I’ve visited in the last months or so. Nothing else to add, enjoy.

Mr Tanner Has turned his stories into a format of its own, now available on its own instagram account @createmodefashion

I didn’t buy this book on @climaxbook , but I saved it as a manifestation for the future. Maybe one day I will come across it irl.

This is probably way too specific, but that’s exactly the kind of joke I aim to deliver whenever im in with my testing groups (people that know me too well, so I experiment with complex joke making)

You can discover new words every month on Nicoooooooos website, now I know what saturnine is.

The kind of t-shirt I would wear to a function I was obligated to attend.

Im kinda sad I passed this amazing opportunity

Don’t remember what I was reading/watching when the concept of commonplace books came to the conversation, I guess my version of it its the notes app.

Nothing to say here, glass bottled Coca Cola fandom it’s still alive and well

These are the exact kind of shoes that I adore in theory but I would never actually wear if I were to buy them. It has happened before.

This table set up its just immaculate.

Shirt maxxing, @oriolcorsa did it first some would say.

This series of pictures by @ptr.dzz for 032C are just amazing.

I wanna steal this set up, and hang chairs and clothes in the same rack.

my friend Berta showed me this amazing account, and I just keep going back to it from time to time, just to be amazed.

an online literary publication that feels fresh

using tanner again to remind you that this column is the equivalent of me sending you nudes…..

So I have decided that having you see my screenshots wasn’t enough, so now you might be getting some special guests to share what ends up on their folder.

My first guest lands from the darkness of Berlin, but dont be fooled she is a Catalan girl at heart. She is the OG creative destructor: Andrea Mena. A true renaissance woman. Think Susan Sontag meets Billie Eilish. My lovely Andrea is the perfect mix of a culturally curious, actively intellectual and online savvy person. That cocktail of a brain gets put to work every day in service of fashion.

”Here’s my I-went-over-the-10-screenshot-limit-oops contribution to one of my favorite corners of the internet, Screenshot Central <3 Ly Nico”

I just made some massive life altering decisions, one of them being to move abroad in my late 20s (refuse to be called a 30yo)

so of course I’m rewatching Lena Dunham’s Girls for the 6th time or so. It ages like fine wine every time, this one hits the spot.

And in relation to that one, WWLDT (what would Lena Dunham think) of the tweet that went: NYT cooking recipes: Lemony garlicky miso gochujang brown butter gnocchi on a sheet pan. there is such a thing as going too far with the NYT style recipes. bring back normal food, Spanish red wine and stop charging us 10 euro for dessert that’s always chocolate mousse with salt and olive oil. dua lipa you’ve done too much damage

Ungatekeeping for you. She always has the best fits on TikTok and has great second-hand designer finds, I’m in love with this Issey Miyake.

My #1 wishlist item right now. Someone please help me find them.

(This is from Marta Gui’s latest substack) Talking about epistemic anxiety: the need to know more. It’s logical that we’re going through a new epistemic anxiety era in fake-news times of not knowing what’s true or false, doubting what we know for certain, and in times of consuming hyper-fast-paced content 24/7. My personal rec here is to start reading the classics again and to play classical chess, try to force our capacity for concentration again. Or the classics could also be the old super long blogposts!!!! This one ranking all 293 Sufjan Stevens songs changed my life last year. I discovered it thanks to Adrián’s contribution to Gárgola Digital.

And on that note… two screenshots that go together since they work as hyperlinks: another one of the risks of the everconsumption of content era. I took this from Drew Austin’s amazing newsletter from this week titled The Post-Work City. Please please go read it.

We’re all tired of hearing about AI at this point but I loved this point here: when are we ever gonna have the patience to see someone crafting a specific view, a specific aesthetic/movement for decades again?

And to end on a good note, some life vibe hacks. Fuck living through historical events weekly, this is the best time of the year, summer’s about to arrive, we’re nourishing our community and fighting back, checking up on our friends, and finding purpose. Fuck it we ball. Come vibrate at the same frequency!!!!!!! <3

See you soon, it might be me or someone else. Who knows!

Heeeey, long time no see! I wanted to come back earlier, but most of my screenshots were client related, so I can't share those goodies here (for now). Gemini season is just around the corner and I can already feel it. Sending my best dual wishes to all of you!

Btw you can hear me complain about the lack of depth on community gatherings, fourth spaces and how we maybe don't actually need dumb phones on the Hip replacement podcast by and .

This story from pat (outofuseberlin) made me want to go back to wearing pins, trying to source them slowly.

lot to say, Lorde is back. new album: Virgin. But all my eyes are in the back of this long sleeve. There are some clues about the upcoming record, and some nonsense that I personally enjoy. More into Lorde’s new lore here on a conversation with Martine Syms for DOCUMENT Journal, and you can always get more info here.

No words, one of my favourites La india songs

I saw someone recommend this book so I screenshotted to don’t forget to buy it in the future

Not long ago I found out that Civilization now exists mostly as a bi monthly radio. (Im kinda late to the party as they having active on NTS since 2022) The format goes from songs to audio skits, odd but refreshing.

I was scrolling through Lotta’s instagram looking for bags, I’ve been wanting something in a similar shape to this Miu Miu one.

I was late night window shopping (as you can see in the hour in the screenshot), dreaming of a soft Caye bag from paloma wool. A friend of mine has it, Hi Anne! saw it live and the leather was so soft.

in a positive turn of events, both for me and my wallet. I found this perfect lookalike to the soft Caye, just laying around in my local Humana Store. I’ve been blessed by the thrift gods once again.

My mom randomly finding some drawings when I was a kid, just cute. Love u mom

self explanatory. some life hacks

I guess this is davidmendezalonso personal library, seems like a dream to explore. David is creative director of founder of the kidult brand @outsidersdivision

Saw Dana Boulos wearing a sweater with a movie scene, now I know its from my Elephant (2003) thanks to my extreme searching abilities

I tried using ChatGPT to help me find it, he wrongly suggested the movie being My Own Private Idaho. Now I have two new movies to watch, thanks to this mistake.

Hey chicos. I see you like this new section, so do I. You get entertained by my findings while I stay behind the scenes working on other drafts that I hope you can read soon. I’ve been on a shopping spree lately (shocker to no-one) so you can see some of the screenshots being product related, bear with me.

New header

While doing research for a different project I stumbled upon this new initiative by the Boot Boyz Biz: Now-time a mix of merch and editorial.

I went down the rabbit hole and discovered they also launched Dragonfly-eye, an interesting online library that mixes text and images, it’s not easy to understand but it’s enjoyable to browse.

This meme by Edmond made me LOL for real, it’s embarrassing how strategist/creatives can sound sometimes.

I discovered that the brand mfg has this IG account where they show like a b side of the brand, seems really organic and a cute counterpart to his main account. I see brands opening multiple accounts for their initiatives, to cater to niche interests.

It’s like I can smell the candle when I see it. Actually wtf does Pumpkin Cashmere mean, like a pumpkin wearing a miu miu grey sweater? I went to the store after and it does smell good.

I still don’t know how to feel about this model (Do I want it?). I wanted the original BodexNike astro grabbers, couldn’t get them. Those who know me are aware im a sucker for green since before brat and wicked. I’m gonna remain on that boat till the end of time.

Me and my friends Annie and Nati are gonna see Marc Anthony live in July, so I’m on a hunt for a cute vintage tee to wear to the concert. The prices are kinda high, so we will see. But M.A in the 90s…. what a dream.

I guess Thomas Bettridge says it all…. We gotta stop using Jacquemus as the marketing playbook, especially when it has become bigger than the products themselves (pun not intended)

I actually saved this one just because of the fun glasses, and then realized I might me able to attend whatever Gohar is doing in Paris. Will keep you posted.

Nuevo álbum de Amaia y este momento del video de MAPS me ha gustado mucho y por eso me lo guardé. Más adelante confirmé mis sospechas y el diseño de estas letras estuvieron en las manos y ojos de Laduard

Brilliant use of physicality. A giant billboard of a picture of an embroidered tag to present Calvin Klein’s new collection.

If you read the last entry you know i’m into this trinket walls. This is just more inspo.

Solange is back on twitter (I will never call that place X) and also released a short film called shakersss. Don’t know what to think, watch it and let me know.

Have a nice week and I hope the excessive Valentine’s Day campaigns don’t make you hate heart shapes. Justice for the year-round heart shape lovers.

Welcome to the first section of this substack, SCREENSHOT CENTRAL is the place where I show you the things I’ve been digitally stealing from all the internet. I will try to link some of them to their original poster or place where you can find more, and I will also omit to link if I consider it.

real screenshot of my last screenshots. If you wanna know more about one of them and I didn’t disclose it under, just throw me a DM and I might tell you.

CONTEXT: I screenshot things so I don’t forget about them, texts I want to access later through the iPhone incorporated AI ( I just search the word I want and the screenshot appears), I screenshot things I wanna buy or want to find a dupe, or just save for reference. Screenshooting lets me save the context, the picture and the user at the same time, or picture and caption. So by now you’ve come to realise that im opening my heart wide open to you my dear readers.

10 Screenshots for you

Enjoy!!!!

I was going through TOR studio stories and they did a pop up with UMBRO at Paris ( im assuming don’t quote me on that) Loved the display of stuff might try to replicate it at home

I was doing a case study for a client and came to find that ZARAHOME has an ongoing space on their web for recipes, might try some.

I received a mail from SUNNEI about their new additions to their objects, this time I just took the screenshot to remind myself to back and check them out.

I loved Avery display on the wall, also saved it for house inspo. The combination of trinkets and different typology of objects does it for me.

En un TikTok hablaron de este artículo donde teorizan sobre las sillas vacías en la portada del nuevo álbum de Bad bunny. Me encanto su lectura

Envidia, that is what draw me to these pic of the Pop up PUEBCO is having right now at the Milano Home Exhibition. I wanna live inside that tent

from all the videos on how to frame art, this was my favourite reference. Yay for wood, also might try to replicate at home.

I screenshot it cause I really wanna buy this new bag by Jumbo Press, by taking a picture of it I release some of the tension of not having it.

I was having dinner with a friend and his friends and they recommend to watch this film, haven’t watched it yet but I will. Screenshot to remember

Always love to read Günseli, she released an article on dressing basic, she circles back in takes I’ve been seeing in many places but puts it together in a very entertaining way.
