Is Designer Dead?

In Ep 4 of Is Designer Dead?, we unpack the Cowboy Carter effect, why women still don’t dominate fashion design, and who really gets to exit on their terms (spoiler: not everyone’s Rhode to a big payday looks the same).

We’re back and questioning everything. In this episode, we talk about the comeback of brands we once left behind—Coach, Calvin Klein, and the genius of Glen Martens at Margiela. We also get into our Labubu ick (seriously, why?), the men’s fashion moments giving us life (Jacquemus’ Cali vibes and Amiri’s evolution), and what all of this says about where fashion is headed.

 We’re spiraling over Michael B. Jordan’s Sinners looks and breaking down exactly what to wear when you’re trying to turn heads on a date night (whether it’s a soft launch or a full seduction). Then we take a sharp left into China tariffs — because your cute corset top might be caught in a global trade war. Fashion, flirting, and foreign policy? You know we had to do it.

Is Designer Dead? is your weekly dose of fashion chaos, culture commentary, and hot takes hotter than a front-row seat at Paris Fashion Week. From Demna's antics to the state of modern design, we break down what’s iconic, what’s idiotic, and ask the question — is the designer era over, or just getting started?
