Wesley Scott on evolving tastes, sustainability, and design influences Mar 18, 2024

As our SS24 collection continues to roll out, Andrew sat down with 3sixteen's lead designer Wesley Scott to talk about the season and how it came together. Wesley's been with the company for almost a decade and we wanted to take time to share about his journey with the brand and how his approach has changed - but more importantly, how it's stayed the same. We touch on his time in grad school studying sustainability and how it means different things to different brands. And we close things out with the importance of bringing personal passion and taste into what we do at 3sixteen.

Johan and Josh talk about our 20th anniversary collaboration and how it was a heavy project for Josh to take on because of his deep desire to honor the vision properly.

Reflections on 20 Years Dec 27, 2023

Back in May of 2023, Johan & Andrew recorded an hourlong conversation that was supposed to be chopped up for short form video content; the intent was to share memories and anecdotes from our 20 year history in bite size pieces on social media. As we began to post these clips, we started getting inquiries on where the whole "podcast" could be accessed, which leads us here. We've taken the audio from that conversation and are presenting it to you here uncut. The conversation goes many places but the one all-encompassing theme throughout is a sense of gratitude. We try not take what we do for granted and we hope it shows. Thanks for listening and for journeying with us! See you in the new year.
