A Thing or Two with Claire and Erica

Nikki Ogunnaike's Introduction to Menswear—and a Smart Little Decision-Making Trick


Listen Later

When Nikki Ogunnaike got a new job as GQ's deputy fashion director, we were immediately all, "What's it like?!" So we took this opportunity to ask her about making the move from women's fashion to men's...and where she gets the bags she couldn't afford when she was starting out. Oh, and while we're at it, we're sharing a three-minute exercise another friend used to make a tough decision, too.

The linkage:

Voicemails: We love 'em. You can get us at 833-632-5463.

Our pal Eliza Bent, who recently made a big move and whose decision-making tactic we co-opted.

Follow Nikki Ogunnaike and her #bathroombigfit looks...and maybe subscribe to GQ, which is what we're doing? See: this Keanu Reeves profile, this Larry David cover story, and this story about how a wide range of dudes are eating in 2020.

Two menswear brands Nikki is v. into: Alex Mill and Brandon Maxwell.

To source the bags she couldn't get as an assistant, Nikki turns to The RealReal, Fashionphile, and Threads Styling.

Nikki bought multiple colors of a pair of Maison Kitsuné pants, and Erica did the same with these Ganni jeans.
