Aeropostale is Bankrupt, American Apparel + Small Business, Getting Through Burnout

Welcome to another episode of Pop Fashion! This week, we're wondering why Alibaba got invited to join an anti-counterfeit group — and why companies are ditching their memberships. Aeropostale filed for Chapter 11, and Zara might have ripped off the latest Yeezy collection. American Apparel is trying to up its "made in America" offerings, and a new initiative has big plans for all the clothing left at the dry cleaner. Our main topic this week is getting through temporary burnout. How do you keep going when you can (barely) see the light at the end of the hardship tunnel? Come hang out!

This week on Pop Fashion, is Victoria's Secret ending its line of swimwear? Diane von Furstenberg said some shocking things about the fashion industry, and South Korea has an interesting plan for its Olympics uniforms.

Meanwhile, Forever 21 is allegedly having a hard time paying its bills, and a store in England is introducing a quiet hour for autistic shoppers. Our main topic this week is the intersection of Fashion and Art. With the Met Gala fresh on our minds, how does fashion fit into museums?

Nordstrom Layoffs, Target Fashion Collaborations, Abusive Friendships

Welcome to another addition of Pop Fashion podcast! This week in fashion news - Nordstrom is going through a round of layoffs, the Target designer collaboration with Marimekko was considered “meh” (but is that an accurate representation?), and ads with counterfeit products are making their way to Instagram. A new study says that people aren’t buying Made in America goods - are higher prices the barrier to sales? Adidas is coming out with a fly shoe made out of trash, and J. Peterman (of catalogue / Seinfeld fame) now has a Kickstarter. Our main topic is about bad friendships. Are you in an abusive friendship? How can we help and protect ourselves?

Come hang out!
