This week, I'm joined by Kat Collings - Editor-In-Chief and newly appointed VP of Who What Wear - for a fun conversation about fashion, career longevity, motherhood, trend fatigue, and what personal style actually means in the age of the algorithm. Kat shares her journey from intern to Editor-in-Chief, what it's really like working behind the scenes in fashion media, and why staying power matters more than chasing the next thing. We get into the evolution of fashion over the last 20+ years, the pressure to stay relevant online, and why a feature in Who What Wear will actually get you sales. We also get into the emotional side of style, how motherhood changes your relationship to getting dressed, the difference between trends and taste, and the question Kat now asks herself before buying anything: "If you removed the logo from this piece, would I still love it as much?" Plus: low-rise jeans, fashion pet peves, the return of Y2K, why we need to let go of fashion rules, and the difference between being a hoarder and being an archivist. 

You will love this interview, I know it. Thank you so much Kat!
