Life in Stitches

Stacy Iannacone has been a glamorous fixture on the downtown New York scene bringing her immaculate taste and eye for vintage to her store "Ritual Vintage" for the last 15 years.  On episode 12, we talk secret warehouses in Afghanistan, sneaking around in tap shoes, cottage core, the rapturous return of the early 2000s, Shepards of Australia versus Whispers of California, and circumventing the never-ending corporate ladder by building something all your own.

On Episode 11 we sit down with talented photographer Menelik Puryear and learn about his narrative style.  We take the wayback machine all the way back to to Westgay, talk living out fantasies, living in the moment, how the British get away with murder, and the benefits of having to fight for your dinner.

On episode 10 we dig up our old friend Scott Fisher who for two decades has been quietly building an empire in the beautiful coastal town of St. Petersburg, Florida, building everything from custom furniture to Aveda salons to hotel lobbies and chic residential homes for people so Gucci they have multiple kitchen islands.  We talk concrete and wood, sleeping under a table saw, dime bags and angel investors, rearranging your mother's living room, always having fresh flowers, and hiring people who are smarter than you.  Don't judge him!

In Episode 8 we found time to connect with our favorite artists out of Philly to talk about sticking to a moral code, Wawa and Wutang, boom bap versus mumble rap, making $20 out of 50 cents, the perils of Exxon money, and how to grow old classy.  As always, they remind us that even if we are the smartest people in the room, we will never be as cool as our friends.

Neda Abghari took time out of her very busy schedule because she loves us and also because the world needs more Neda!!  Not only did we virtually celebrate the 10th anniversary of her incomparable charity "The Creative's Project", we talked about the natural high, doing the work, tiny miracles, luck and preparedness, and not stepping to Stacey Abrams.  We hope you take what Neda has done in Georgia, and share it.

Mary Gehlhar glided into our lives not even knowing she would guide us through some of our most important moments and we wanted to share some of her magic with you!  The third edition of "The Fashion Designer's Survival Guide" is available now at your local bookstore or, if you must, Amazon.  Mary has championed small designers during her whole career, and has written the BIBLE to starting a new venture in the fashion industry.  We discuss not being your mother figure, volunteering with a mission, the value of our objects, getting to know your customer, and knowing who you are, who you're doing it for, and why you are doing it.
