Let's Get Dressed

If you’re not in fashion, Fashion Month can seem a bit overwhelming. I often get asked - can I buy that look right now? When will that style be available? Or why didn’t that runway piece make it to stores? Well, there’s a big business behind runway shows - it fuels the fashion industry forward, sets trends for the seasons ahead, and allows fashion buyers to decide what makes it from the runway to our closets. So today we’re answering all of your questions with one of the best buyers in the industry, Tiffany Hsu, who’s the Vice President of Womenswear and Kidswear Buying at Mytheresa. (If you follow me on IG, you know Mytheresa is my ultimate retailer of choice - there’s just no better buy if you’re looking for the best pieces in fashion!). As a buyer, she’s tasked with traveling the world and looking at every designer’s collection, understanding the Mytheresa customer intimately, and knowing exactly what styles and how much of them to buy so that retailers and designers make a profit when it hits the stores six months later. She’s basically a fashion psychic. However, buying is a big numbers game, so for all my listeners looking for a numbers based job in fashion, listen up! In this episode, Tiffany and I talk about what goes on behind the scenes during fashion week, how she's learned what her clients want, and the trends she’s loving right now.

I often talk about the necessity for community. No matter what you do, where you work, finding your people and keeping them close is one of the most important lessons I’ve learned as someone in the fashion industry. One of my people is Danielle Prescod. She instantly became someone who felt like a security blanket for me - at a work event where maybe I didn’t know anyone, fashion weeks, whatever it was, if she was there, all was good in my world. Danielle is a 15-year fashion industry veteran - she’s worked at InStyle, Elle, BET, and is someone I often turn to for her razor-sharp and unapologetic perspective of the industry. But last year, she said goodbye to the fashion industry and moved to New Orleans where she penned her first book, Token Black Girl, a memoir about her experiences growing up Black in a predominately white neighborhood, and the experiences that followed her into her teen years, college years, and into the halls of some of the most well known magazines in the world. It’s a harsh look into the white supremacy in media and her personal story of recovering from years of striving for perfection, a loss of identity, and living in a world where she never truly felt accepted. In today’s episode, we talk about the moments that led Danielle to write Token Black Girl, how she turned her experiences into output, and how the fashion industry needs to do better.

I’ll never forget the first time I saw a Pantene ad. The silky, luscious, and thick hair on the models couldn’t be more different from my own hair, but instantly became an ideal of what society considered beautiful. It carried me through the many emotional stages of my hair - extensions, the post breakup chop, multiple colors (who can relate?) - all to achieve that bounce that could be seen from a mile away. But as a now 28-year-old, I've figured out the most essential truth when it comes to hair - less is more. Diana Cohen’s Crown Affair is leading that message, disrupting the haircare industry that has notoriously sold chemical-based products and damaging styles with simple products, clean ingredients, and routines and rituals that nourish your hair from within. The Crown Affair Hair Oil has landed on every best-seller list, even catching the eye of the brand's newest investor Gwyneth Paltrow, and the brand is a bestseller at Goop and Sephora. In this episode, Diana shares her experience navigating the haircare industry, her own routines, and how she’s built a community around self-care.

It’s rare to find someone whose style is truly unique. Emili Sindlev is one of those people. Just one look at her Instagram and you’ll find that her style is unmatched - it’s a blend of metropolitan chic, Scandi cool, with an enormous burst of color. She pairs bright colors you’d never guess would match and prints your mom would have shamed you for ever even thinking they’re go well together. But she pulls it off not just for herself, but for the global fashion community, with a style that’s titled her one of Denmark’s most popular fashion influencers. Based in Copenhagen, Emili shot onto the scene during Copenhagen Fashion Week, quickly becoming a street style trailblazer for defying the usual naturals of Scandi style. Today she has close to 1 million followers, she was awarded Elle’s style icon of the year award in 2018, and can be often seen globetrotting and working with brands from Valentino to Chanel. In this episode, Emili gives us her best dressing advice which actually includes referencing vegetables, who knew? We also talk about growing a platform as a content creator, how she curates her feed, and what it’s like becoming a global content creator from Denmark. Love the show? Follow us and leave a review!

They say that people watching is the best in New York City, and Johnny Cirillo is living proof of it. As the photographer behind Instagram’s beloved @WatchingNewYork account, Johnny heads out every day onto the streets of New York to shoot the most interesting and stylish personalities he can find. He stealthily documents their outfits, strikes up a conversation, and shares the stories of every day people to his 1 million followers on Instagram and TikTok. But when Johnny took his first photo for the account in 2016, he had no idea that six years later he’d run one of the most popular street style accounts and shoot for brands like Tory Burch and Balenciaga.

Did you know that less than 14% of sports journalists are female? Or that less than 4% of sports coverage is on female athletes? In 2019, three college friends — Jacie deHoop, Ellen Hyslop and Roslyn McLarty — founded The GIST after noticing that there wasn’t a hub for female sports lovers to come together in the male-dominated sports industry. The result - a newsletter that provides a fresh and fun perspective on sports delivered straight to your inbox. Today, they have over 700,000 subscribers who loyally read their 4x-weekly sports news newsletter, 3x-weekly women's sports biz newsletter, and listen to their podcast The GIST of It. In this episode, Ellen and I talk about the newsletter boom and its impact, her best hack for getting new subscribers, and the lack of visibility for women in sports and where we need progress.

Chef Alisa Reynolds is the owner and chef behind Los Angeles’ beloved restaurant, My 2 Cents. She refers to her cuisine as “evolved nostalgia” - a place where she blends Southern comfort food and mixes it into a modern diet.

Since founding the brand in 2017, Ashely and Moya have carved out a unique space from themselves in the industry.

In honor of NYFW in full swing, we’re bringing back one of our most beloved episodes with the one and only Christopher John Rogers. This episode was recorded in September 2019. If you Google the name Christopher John Rogers, a slew of articles will come up with all the same title: "Meet Christopher John Rogers, Fashion's Next Big Thing." At just 25-years-old, Christopher is one of the youngest break-out designers on the fashion scene. Although he made his Fashion Week debut just a month ago, Christopher has garnered industry-wide acclaim through his unapologetically joyful and colorful designs. His collection was met with a standing ovation and rave reviews from Vogue, WWD, and more. He was a 2019 CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund finalist, and his clothes have been worn by Michelle Obama, Rihanna, SZA, Tracee Ellis Ross, and Cardi B. In this episode, Christopher and I talk about creating glamour in a not-so-glamorous world, representation in the fashion industry, and how a Baton Rogue-born designer plans to make it big in the Big Apple. This episode was recorded in September 2019. Follow Christopher on Instagram here https://www.instagram.com/christopherjohnrogers/ Love the show? Follow us and leave a review!
