So, in this episode, we've got interviews with the Mugler key makeup artist,…
My latest guest is the brilliant fashion designer Laina Rauma, someone I first interviewed back in 2015, when I had a blog. Remember those? I remember when I first followed Laina because she had and still has, this amazing editorial eye and she's always seemed to be able to predict what was coming next, years in advance. I wanted to interview Los Angeles-based Laina again because so much can…

Todays guest is Eve Salvail, a Canadian model who was one of the most iconic androgynous faces of the '90s. Unlike the Cindys, Lindas and Naomis of the day, Eve exuded a punk attitude that was only magnified by the fact she had a Chinese dragon tattooed on her scalp. Her truly unique appearance made her the perfect muse to iconic French fashion designer Jean Paul Gaultier, who would drape and…

If you don’t already know Kevyn Aucoin, he was a brilliant, influential makeup…
This week I’m chatting with the most interesting fashion creator out there, Jay Tibbitts. New York-based Jay has become a real authority on talking about fashion where it’s less about opinions and more about facts, statistics and curiosity and what makes him so interesting, especially within the fashion space, is that he’s not a creator who simply gushes over collections or churns out instant…

Today it’s very stream of conscious bonus mini episode. I’ve been thinking about Phoebe Philo’s brand a lot lately. It’s a brand with pieces that I am very attracted to. And, being someone interested and intrigued with how brands market themselves, there’s definitely a lot that piques my interest about Philo. One thing that often gets my attention is the brand’s approach to social media; it’s so…
