  • Uhhh

    Good topics, but frustrating to listen to. It feels like very surface-level research is done before jumping on the mic and the host often struggles to articulate her thoughts. The majority of the episode ends up being opinions rather than well-researched discussions with a lot of ums, uhs and I thinks that are hard to follow.

  • Giving Up

    While I have truly enjoyed several episodes, I listened to the latest one (Avery Trufelman) with my jaw on the floor. The first 20-25 mins were spent on a completely random and uninteresting monologue about a store in LA (with no opportunity for the guest to even chime in and no question for her to even answer). The rest of the episode featured a second monologue by the host about The Row, again barely even leaving room for the guest to say anything … why even invite guests at all??

  • Oh god

    I decided to give this pod another try because Avery Truffleman was the guest. As per usual…. The episode was a Lauren monologue about how much she spends on the Row, how she and her fashion friends in Paris all wear the same PP outfit, etc etc more vapidness. Makes me want to NOT buy any more PP. No wonder she and Derek Guy have tension. And AT is a saint for putting up with LS. I’ll continue to pass on this podcast. There are much more thoughtful fashion podcasts out there

  • This is ridiculous…..

    I was really disappointed to realize a lot of episodes are essentially a paid advertisement. I don't mind sponsors when they're clearly disclosed and kept separate from the content, but this felt like an ad disguised as a regular episode. It came across as promotional rather than informative, which made it hard to trust the discussion. I hope future episodes prioritize genuine content and are more transparent about sponsored material.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Sex, Skirts, and Saint Laurent
Q: Do you get tips, tip offs more on DM, text or email, like people giving you like hot gossip?
Sherman says most tips come through phone calls and in-person conversations, though she also gets useful direct messages and texts. She checks claims with sources and does not simply accept rumors or narratives pushed by people with agendas.
Sex, Skirts, and Saint Laurent
Q: But how did you feel about this season? Last season, you were only really in Paris, right? You didn't do as many shows. So how did you feel coming back and from what you went to what you saw?
Ottenberg says the mood was better and the collections included more real, wearable clothes. He and Sherman agree that the season was enjoyable, though Prada stood out as the most exciting show for them.
Pretty Penny
Q: What was the first fundraising experience like for Glossier, and what did you learn that applied to later rounds?
The first fundraising meeting with Thrive taught them that the pitch could be understood as a Warby Parker–style beauty venture, but investors treated it as a lifestyle brand; they learned the importance of being clear, persistent, and unashamed in pursuing funds and interpreting investor skepticism as part of the process.
Pretty Penny
Q: Nick, welcome to Fashion People. What did you have for breakfast this morning?
Black coffee and Vyvanse, which he described as essential for focus, followed by a mid-morning meal and later a larger lunch.
River Cafe Society
Q: How did the River Café evolve from a small lunchtime operation to a destination restaurant?
The project started with severe restrictions and a tiny team, but the founders kept the core values of hospitality, collaboration, and a shared kitchen workflow, gradually expanding the space, refining the design, and publishing a cookbook to communicate their approach.
