In the inaugural episode of Babushka Podcast, I interviews a very special guest: my sister and celebrity fashion designer Natalia Fedner! We discuss Natalia’s immigration from the Soviet Union to Ohio and how our grandpa, Yefim Fishman (who we lovingly referred to as just Ded - short for Dedushka) shaped Natalia’s love for food through his signature dill pickles. Things get heated in a rapid fire question round where we argue about important topics like the ideal texture for a French fry and later on, Natalia reveals her surprising pick for my favorite closing question: what is your death bed meal?

Find Natalia on Instagram: @nataliafedner, or visit her website: nataliafedner.com. You can ogle her gorgeous designs at select boutiques in New York in LA and on any runway worth a damn.
