Direct-to-Consumer? May 13, 2018

Show notes

While this is not a fully formed question, this episode, we discuss the considerations around direct-to-consumer, filtered through our experiences as fashion professionals. As much as one would think direct-to-consumer and the factors that make it work is a given… it’s surprisingly and often not.

Is Fashion Nova the Biggest Fashion Story the Industry Refuses to Claim? Apr 14, 2018

Show notes

With the prevalence of brands like Revolve, ASOS, Boohoo, Missguided and formerly Nasty Gal, we’re wondering why the wildly successful Fashion Nova gets so little coverage and recognition amongst the fashion establishment and beyond? It's a formidable business with a social following that dwarfs the competition - and is one of the most searched fashion brands on Google in tandem with Chanel, Gucci and Supreme.

We want to know what you think, so please comment as well as subscribe and give us a 5 star rating :)

Will #MeToo Be the Catalyst to Uncover the Larger Abuse of Power Within Fashion? Part 1: A Conversation from the Archive (Oct 26th 2017). Mar 23, 2018

Show notes

In this episode, we dug out a (pre-launch) conversation we had in the beginning stages of the #MeToo movement, when fashion was focused on one man - Terry Richardson. We voiced our opinions - frustrations, hopes and optimism towards the industry's (then) reactions.

We thought this episode was an interesting capsule - to see how far we’ve come in some ways and not in others, but also to see how our view points have shifted and evolved over the last 5 months. Between then and now, we’ve seen models and advocates including Cameron Russell, Eddie Campbell and James Scully speak out and take a stand and more recently in 2018, photographers Bruce Webber, Mario Testino and stylist Karl Templer outed, Sara Ziff’s Model Allience finally get the attention it deserves and Kering, LVMH and Condé Nast all announce model protection policies. But about the wider industry?

This episode also sets us up for part 2 of this conversation, were we have a present day conversation with a special guest to discuss this movement further.

What's Oprah Really Like? And 17 Other Questions. Mar 03, 2018

Show notes

Having been dumbfounded about an intimate trip to South Africa that Jason went on with Oprah - and never revealed until just prior to recording (!!!) - we decided to play an impromptu game of 20 questions to reveal and expand on other nuggets we may not know about each other. We didn't quite make it to 20 questions, but this episode was fun to record and quite revealing.
