  • Aleks Cvetkovic in "The Man Who Wears the Clothes"

    This week’s guest is Aleks Cvetkovic, host of the excellent

    menswear podcast HandCut Radio. Aleks is also an accomplished
    journalist, having written for The Rake and Robb
    Report, among other publications.

    Aleks’ work on HandCut Radio was an influence of this podcast (along

    with Jeremy Kirkland’s Blamo! if you want to pair this chat with
    our Season 3 opener). I loved getting to talk to Aleks about his
    menswear journey, stumbling into a journalism career, working as a
    freelance writer, and all of his bold style choices (some he may now
    regret, but they still get my meaningless seal of approval).

    You can follow Aleks on Instagram at @aleks_cvetkovic. Follow

  • Sergio Guadarrama & Kade Johnson in "The Celestino Moment"

    This week’s guests are Sergio Guadarrama and Kade Johnson of

    Celestino Couture. And you might recognize Sergio from the
    recently-wrapped Season 18 of Project Runway—and you’ll recognize
    Kade from that romantic finale proposal!

    I talk to Sergio and Kade about building Celestino, their personal

    style journeys, what it was like filming and watching Project
    Runway, and how they’re changing the world one dress at a time. I
    also put in a lot of hints that I want Sergio to make me a cape. Will
    he take the hint?!

    You can follow Sergio and Kade on Instagram at

    @celestinocouture. Follow @enlightenmyloafers on Instagram
    for show notes, style inspo, and more.

  • Amanda Valentine in "That's My Girl"

    This week’s guest is Amanda Valentine, a Nashville-based designer

    and stylist who brought her super hip, Southern chic vibe to Seasons
    11 and 13 of Project Runway.

    You bet I had to ask Amanda all about her two turns on Project

    Runway and making it all the way to the top two of Season 13. We also
    talk about her work as a stylist, how hard it is to make menswear, and
    just have a chill, low-grade panic about the world! I sincerely loved
    this convo!!

    totally unique podcast community, and he also talks me off a ledge or

  • Sean Taylor in "Message: Body Positivity. SEND"

    This week’s guest is Sean Taylor, a plus size fashion advocate who

    works in social media and was on a little Netflix reality competition
    show called “The Circle”!

    Sean talks “The Circle,” the message she wanted to send with her

    catfish storyline, packing for her big TV debut, how she landed in
    “The Circle,” and the hurdles being a plus size person in the fashion
    industry and also, y’know, the world.

    (Also, at one point I say “cystic fibrosis” when I mean “cerebral

    palsy,” which was a brain fart moment for me—my first on this show,
    I’m sure!)
