It Only Gets Worse From Here with Anthony Sylvester Jul 26, 2023

Show notes

On our latest episode, we speak with fashion writer, menswear model, former hardcore frontman, and founder of the AWMS brand, Anthony Sylvester, about growing up in the UK during the subcultural explosion of the 80s. As American films, skateboarding, hip-hop, breakdancing, and more hit Europe, culture and subculture began to mix like never before.

Beyond that, we explore how Ivy Style has always been a disruptor, shopping in London, what it’s like when you find your people, building relationships, Dead Poets Society, and far more.
