BlackMilk Clothing Podcast

After a loooong hiatus, your fav BM podcasters are back to talk about all things Halloween! jL reads his original story behind the Ghouls Night In collection – what would it be like to actually be trapped in a horror movie? jL and Sam take a detailed look at some key Halloween products, including the fluffy purple number known colloquially as the Grimace jacket, burned velvet cats (which are anatomically correct in one particular region…) and all the spoopy kitties, pumpkins and brains you could wish for. Plus: jL reveals his very strange driving habits...

It’s the final podcast of the year! jL and Sam take a look back at the craziness of 2020: the high points (Tiger King, Baby Yoda, jL getting into cardio), the low points (global pandemic...) and everything in between. jL explains why making clothing is like being on a rollercoaster, and his idea for a business-based reality TV show. Plus: a sneaky look at the first collection of 2021, and a surprisingly deep dive into cult 80s vampire movie The Lost Boys. 

jL and Sam argue about bread, music platforms, and whether goats are cool. jL breaks down your top 5 from last week’s epic Monumental Museum release, and the standout pieces from the upcoming Stefania x BlackMilk swim collection – sparkly, shiny, glittery goodness! jL reveals some of his plans for next year (Unicornia High is coming!), while Sam reveals her surprising amount of NFL knowledge. Plus: strappy bodysuits, anyone?

jL surprises Sam with a 90's quiz to kick off the episode (how many will you get right?). They chat about some of the exciting things we've got coming up (hello exciting new collab..😏) and start gearing up for a big 2021. No podcast would be complete without some random tangents about eyebrows, the Two Towers, Love bombs and Baby Yoda. Oh, and this is now a 'The Mummy' movie appreciation podcast until further notice...

jL and Sam chat about the origins of Feeding Frenzy and the top sellers from the Party Pooper release. They ask the important questions, like Are sequins the galaxy of fabrics? What unreleased samples do you want to see released? And what is the colour of a unicorn? And they reminisce about the last 11 years of BlackMilk, and celebrate our birthday!!

jL and Sam chat about all the shiny things coming in next week’s Party Pooper collection (including the return of the famous Sheer Retro Pants!) and ask: is Sam the ultimate Party Pooper? jL reveals some upcoming swim designs, his favourite Disneyland rides, and his new James-Bond-inspired wardrobe for 2021. Plus: Is it a bad idea to name a fashion label after yourself? What car should jL buy? And what were some of the collection ideas you guys requested last week?

jL and Sam chat about the craziness of 2020 (including last week’s apocalyptic flood at BMHQ) and unwrap the Unwrapped collection – what were your top five noms? Summer is here in Brisbane, which means new swims are coming soon (Sparkly! Pastelly!)... jL reveals a very special new fabric technology in the upcoming party collection – foil printed burned velvet anyone? Plus, jL and Sam want to know: if you could curate one BM collection, what theme would you choose?

jL and Sam break down your top 5 from Shake It off. jL gets technical about the interaction between fabric and printing technology (pop quiz: what do BlackMilk leggings and National Rugby League shirts have in common?). jL gives a sneak peek at the next big release (Krampus, anyone?). Plus, can you guess what song got stuck in jL’s head while he was designing a new cheerleader skirt?

It’s all about active wear this week! jL and Sam give a rundown on the products coming in next week’s active release – what makes them different to previous BlackMilk active gear? Why are you going to love them? And what makes active wear active wear anyway? Plus, jL and Sam describe their gym routines (can you guess which one is a self-described ‘cardio bunny’?).

jL hints at the direction of the next goth collection (much to Sam’s dismay…). jL explains the difference between flocked fabric and burned velvet, and gives a sneak peek at the very very shiny return of the Hieroglyphics Gold print. jL and Sam want to know: do we need more touchdowns and shooters? What collabs do you want to see next? And should we let Sam design a collection inspired entirely by ridiculous 90s bro movies?
