Over the moon to share this episode with my best friend, Gretchen. We have a proper gab, from style icons to the experience of being a fashion student. How did a Pinterest board get Gretch an internship? What's the difference between knits and wovens? How are fabrics made? Are Princess Diana and the mom from the Parent Trap the same person? Listen to find out!

Special thanks to the lovely Gretchen!
