Let's Get Dressed

In this special series, I’ve been calling some of my dear friends to see how they’re doing in the midst of the Coronavirus pandemic. In an effort to provide some sense of comfort and normalcy, these conversations are here to provide you with good companionship while we’re all stuck at home, and to also let you know that we're here with you through it. This week features my friend Connor Holloway, a member of the corps de ballet of the American Ballet Theater. Connor and I met when we were young dancers at an ABT summer intensive in Detroit when we were in our early teens. While I quit by 17, Connor went the full nine yards, and has now performed in some of the company’s best shows like The Nutcracker, Whipped Cream, and all the company’s full length ballets. He also happens to run the company’s Instagram account. Connor and I discuss what it's like to be a performer in a time of solitude, how the arts are dramatically adapting, some sacrifices the whole team at ABT have taken, and how he’s using his role on the social media team to lift the curtain on the ballet world and provide support and love to the all the behind-the-scenes talent that helps bring ABT to life.

Bala is a Los Angeles based movement company founded in 2018 by husband-and-wife team Natalie Holloway and Maximilian Kislevitz. During a sabbatical in Southeast Asia, Natalie and Max realized that old school wrist and ankle weights were in desperate need of innovation and decided to design a stylish weighted band that amplifies the fitness benefits of just about any routine. After a successful Kickstarter funding run and two years under their belt, Bala did $2.1 million in their first calendar year with their collection of colorful, silicon bands, available in two different weight options and a design so sleek you could wear them with a gown. In February 2020, they appeared on ABC's Shark Tank and received a $900,000 investment from Mark Cuban and tennis legend Maria Sharapova, and are now up 466% in sales since this time last year.

Sheena Yaitanes is the founder of Kosas, a clean beauty brand she created in her Los Angeles home in 2015. While studying chemistry and biology at UC Irvine, Sheena found herself frustrated with a beauty industry filled with products that never felt good, healthy, or looked right on her skin. Fusing her scientific background and passion for painting, Sheena set out to create a one-of-a-kind lipstick with a strong focus on clean, non-toxic formula and shades that redefine the idea of nude for all skin tones. The brand launched with four lipstick shades, and every item had to achieve three things: look just right, be easy and straightforward in application, and act as skincare. Today, Kosas has expanded its product line to 12 lipstick shades, lip glosses, balms, makeup cases, and their cult-favorite products, the 10 Second Eyeshadow and Tinted Face Oil. Kosas is sold on Sephora, Goop, and Violet Grey, has a fan base of names like Gwyneth Paltrow and Gisele, and just closed a Series B funding round with investors like Leandra Medine and Scooter Braun. In this episode, Sheena and I talk about how she built a beauty brand from her kitchen table, where Kosas will go with the new investment, and how she wants to redefine the idea of modern beauty.

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.

At just 28-years-old, Lindsay Peoples Wagner is the youngest Editor-in-Chief at any major publication. After spending time at Teen Vogue as an intern, Style.com, and the Cut, Lindsay established her voice in the industry - tackling race, culture, and politics through fashions lens. In September 2018, she penned Everywhere and Nowhere: What it's really like to be black and work in fashion, an expose on the fashion industry with over 150 testimonials from people of color from designers, assistants, models, and more that highlighted the abuse of black culture as a marketing tool, while simultaneously rejecting black people within the industry opportunities. Now she's bringing her voice to Teen Vogue where she's leveraging her position to create space for inclusive, diverse, and important conversations for the next generation. In this episode, we go behind the scenes of Lindsay Peoples Wagner's Teen Vogue, from some of her favorite moments, to their 3rd annual Acne Awards, to covers with talent like Serena Williams and Naomi Wadler, Millie Bobbie Brown, and Lil Nas X. We also talk about our hopes for a more inclusive fashion industry and how she's fearlessly keeping the next generation informed.
