Pop Fashion

Welcome to another edition of Pop Fashion podcast! This week Lisa is away for work, so Navin brings his tech background to the pod to discuss the fashion industry. In style news, cultural appropriation becomes central to an international lawsuit, Abercrombie’s business is looking up, and Christmas decorating brings billions to New York City. Also, Victoria’s Secret drops a literal and figurative Bombshell on science, and cyber criminals are becoming more sophisticated at retail POS systems. Band of Outsiders is temporarily resurrected at Filene’s Basement, and bad guys get their briefcases at the Bad Guy Briefcase Store. For our main topic we discuss a brilliant commencement speech given by John Waters at the Rhode Island School of Design. Are you prepared to screw things up brilliantly? Are you failing in amazing ways? Come hang out!

Welcome to another episode of Pop Fashion! This week we are shaking our heads at some terrible holiday advertising moves by Bloomingdale's and Nordstrom. In the magazine world, Details has closed while Allure's founding editor has stepped down.

Welcome to another episode of Pop Fashion! This week we examine the fashion of Drake's Hotline Bling and tut-tut at Balmain x H&M madness. Fendi financed a major landmark repair in its hometown of Rome, but meanwhile in Iran a popular actress had to flee after posting a selfie. Burberry is consolidating its brands, and Kate Spade is launching a new line. And shopping on Pinterest is becoming easier. Our main topic this week is cursing! Do you use taboo words in your daily routine? Do you think there's a time and place for cursing? We talk about cursing in the context of our show and our business and personal lives. Come join us!

Welcome to another episode of Pop Fashion! Major fashion news this week as we discuss Raf Simons' departure from Dior and Alber Elbaz's ouster from Lanvin. There's a new attempt at legislating protections for models, including the very young. Bill Blass is making an ecommerce comeback, and American Eagle Outfitters bought a single retail store in order to access its awesome concept. Amazon's going overboard prepping for Black Friday, and we're still talking about Halloween because of Walmart's costume chaperones. Our main topic is perfectionism. In light of Elizabeth Holmes' company Theranos coming under fire for not living up to expectations, we discuss what it means to be perfect - or be just good enough to launch and pivot as needed. Are you a perfectionist? Does it hold you back? Come hang out!

Welcome to another episode of Pop Fashion! This week REI's making waves by closing all its stores on Black Friday. What the what? People are already listing Balmain for H&M pieces on eBay, two weeks ahead of the collection's arrival. Adidas is opening an automated sneaker factory, Walmart is trying to do Made in America better, and the U.S. is pouring money into Pakistan's garment industry. And men's suits are relaxing a bit -- are pleated pants about to take menswear by storm? Our main topic is empathy. Can sharing an experience with someone make you less empathetic? What can you do to apply empathy to your leadership skills? Have you walked a mile in someone else's shoes? Come hang out!

Welcome to another episode of Pop Fashion!

Welcome to another episode of Pop Fashion! This week we are loving Antonio Banderas' new adventure: fashion school. Three conflicting fashion weeks in Asia are causing a lot of confusion and stress. Meanwhile, in the ever-speculative wearable tech world, we discuss the real and evolving marketplace for wearable technology (hint: maybe more function than fashion). Butchbaby & Co. is bringing a new aesthetic to maternity clothing, and JustFab's customer service has left some customers feeling cheated. And Quiksilver is in major financial trouble, struggling to keep up with athleisure and fast fashion. Our main topic this week: fear and creativity. We break down author Elizabeth Gilbert's guide to creative pursuits and discuss creative frustration, fear, authenticity, and originality. Come hang out!
