  • Fashion or Not?

    It started out about fashion but is now about Lauren Bezos and lip filler. Not super interesting.

  • Highly entertaining

    Love this podcast and Amy's unbiased takes on the fashion and celebrity worlds. The longer form interviews she does are the most entertaining and have been well worth the subscription.

  • Unfortunately, just no.

    I’ve tried, really tried. The vocal fry. How does she not realize her voice is a barrier to listening? Yet another knowledgeable podcast I’ve given up on.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

John Galliano Is Finally Getting a Met Gala. Should He? (Teaser)
Q: Why is this Met Gala retrospective controversial in the eyes of observers who remember Galliano's past behavior?
Observers point to a history of public drunkenness, abusive conduct, and anti-Semitic remarks that led to his firing from Dior, and to the perception that rehabilitating him with a major retrospective could appear to excuse or minimize harm.
A Stylist to Billionaires on How the .01 Percent Really Shop
Q: What is an annual wardrobe budget like for clients at this level, if you can say?
Budgets vary widely, but the wardrobe spend can realistically range from several hundred thousand up to around 1.5 million per year, with many clients dedicating substantial funds to both clothing and jewelry while still exercising some discretion within agreed parameters.
Inside 'The Devil Wears Prada 2' Press Tour with Meryl Streep's Stylist
Q: Just talk us through the process.
The process involves mood boards, research, color and silhouette planning, multiple fittings with designers worldwide, and a strong emphasis on a visual narrative that ties the wardrobe to the film's storytelling and to the client's identity.
Inside 'The Devil Wears Prada 2' Press Tour with Meryl Streep's Stylist
Q: So when you take a job like dressing Meryl Streep, NBD for Devil Wears Prada 2, NBD, where do you even begin? Do you see the movie? Do you make a mood board?
The process starts with connecting with the client and the costume context, often without full screeners, then building a mood and then collaborating with designers and the costume team to align on a narrative that honors the film while translating to the star's persona.
What Everlane's Sale to Shein Means for 'Sustainable' Fashion
Q: Explain, what does this mean?
It means that when L Catterton invested, they had higher hopes for Everlane than what materialized, and they essentially sold the company for nothing, wiping out equity holders while debt is paid; the deal is a stark reminder of how private equity outcomes can erode brand value when performance falters.
