  • 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.

  • paywall strategy is off-putting

    how do i get part two of an interview as a paid subscriber to the newsletter and yet part one is behind a paywall for the podcasts? i guess? because it never showed up in my library and still doesn't - didn't know about it until you posted a link to it in the newsletter, talking about lane brown interview from april 12 - great reporting though!💙💙

  • Great interviews, and hot topics, but also has a soul.

    So much better than puck news & the pod “fashion people”. I am fairly certain Amy would never agree to work for Bari Weiss. (who has fired all the people of color out of CBS News, viciously attacked the trans community, and bows down to the most horrific administration our country has ever witnessed…)Fashion is a fun escape, but in 2026 we vote with our dollars and our attention, and I am happy to subscribe to her premium content.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

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.
Met Gala 2026 Recap: Beyoncé, the Bezos Backlash, Kim Kardashian, and Vogue's Silence
Q: What was the dominant narrative of the night?
Heather and Amy identify the Bezos backlash as the defining thread, with broader conversations about labor activism, sponsorship, and Vogue's coverage shaping the overall narrative.
How Kim Kardashian Broke the Met Gala
Q: What is the significance of Balenciaga in Kim's public narrative and controversies?
Balenciaga tied to Kim during a tumultuous divorce and broader fashion storytelling; the controversy lingered in commentary, illustrating how controversies can become enduring parts of a celebrity's public persona even when they aren't directly involved.
