How to make your style go viral ft. "tent boy" @bradleysharpe Dec 07, 2020

Show notes

Today I have the joy of chatting with Bradley Sharpe, a 2020 CSM graduate from Nottinghamshire - also known on Instagram as ‘tent boy,' about how to make your style go viral.

After being a design assistant Marc Jacobs in New York for a year, Bradley returned to London to complete his graduate collection - during a pandemic. Utilizing up-cycled outdoor materials, he proves that tents can actually be chic.

This week, I’m chatting with Bradley about how he created a collection that’s as beautiful as it is social media-worthy (despite the odds), and how we can create work that both attracts press, yet is still authentic to our process.

How you can become a DIY fashion QUEEN ft. @lydia__bolton Nov 16, 2020

Show notes

On today's episode, I spoke with Lydia Bolton on how you can become a DIY fashion queen!

Lydia Bolton's namesake brand is made for women who want to look good, and know their clothes did good. Her work reuses unwanted textiles and puts them into fabulous pieces you’ll LOVE to wear.

Featured in miss vogue, the face and grazia UK, Lydia’s pieces don’t sacrifice style street-cred for sustainability and we’re all about that here at fashion originators. I wanted to speak with Lydia specifically today because, during these covid times, she has started selling DIY clothing kits that have become a huge hit – empowering us all to not only become makers, but to also rethink the way the items in our closet are made.

On the podcast today, we’re not only going to be discussing Ayo’s content, but we’ll also be discussing the place of fashion journalists / critics in the digital age - and how they can stay relevant as the world changes.
