HIRED BY GUCCI’S CREATIVE DIRECTOR ON MY WAITRESS SHIFT | w/ Liya Thachil
The right place at the right time is cool and all, but being prepared for the moment is how the real magic happens. Our stranger this week is LIYA THACHIL, whose unique upbringing prepared her for the moment she’d casually pitch an offer to a creative director at one of the world’s biggest fashion brands. Liya has worked for brands like Gucci, Chanel, and Vogue, and gone on to co-found her own brand, WESTxEAST. We talk crossing South-Asian aesthetics with luxury brand knowledge, frustration of “fake” designers, model minority myths, Liya’s switch to focusing on political representation, and a whole lot more!
The Strange Squad talks about Shimmer’s senti stream that helped the world, killing off the worst character in a TV show, and betting on yourself instead of GameStop.
This is the 136th episode of Strange Flavors, brought to you by Alif Theory.
