Welcome to another edition of Pop Fashion. This week hot topics is all about New York Fashion Week! What does Fall 2015 have in store? (Answer: Turtlenecks) Do you know how much money Fashion Week brings to New York City? (Answer: More than a certain Super Bowl) Also, scalpers are making some serious cash on NYFW shows. Kanye's collaboration with Adidas has people talking, Rebecca Minkoff is developing fantastic fitting room technology, Lisa questions if Banana Republic should have a fashion show, and rumors persist if Missoni is going to sell their fashion house.
Our main topic for the week is about self indulgence! What is the difference between self indulgence and self care? And, does self indulgence help us or hurt us? Is it actually pleasurable, or does it ultimately just cause more pain? Come hang out!

Welcome to another edition of Pop Fashion! This week in hot topics - David Wilson's Man Heels killed it on the red carpet, Lands' End hired Dolce & Gabbana's CEO, DC's own Bluemercury was purchased by Macy's, and Diane von Furstenberg wrote an open letter to designers to promote health and diversity at New York Fashion Week.

The main topic is about extreme management styles! Zappos is currently experimenting with Holacracy, but will the no job titles / no managers / no hierarchy enterprise work? What is your management style? How do you manage yourself? And, what kind of fashion podcast talks about Machiavelli? This fashion podcast does. Come hang out!

54 min - Runway Nudity, Fashion E-Commerce in India, Stop Caring What Others Think
Welcome to another edition of Pop Fashion! This week in hot topics - Rick Owens showed his latest collection in Paris and left little to the imagination. (Three words: male model nudity.) Retail continues to crumble with the closing of SkyMall and Piperlime, a reality show sends fashion bloggers to Cambodian sweatshops, and Elle magazine sues a designer with the first name Elle. Also, fashion is becoming more lucrative in India as consumers in cities and villages turn to e-commerce. Our main topic is about external validation. How do we stop caring about what other people think? Lisa and Kaarin look at social media, evolution, and internal core strength as a means to understand and overcome the continual need for approval.

53 min - Fashion Week Dropouts, Lucky Mag Bloggers, Radical Self Care
Welcome to Pop Fashion! Mercedes-Benz pulled out of New York Fashion Week! Gasp! Target argued that consumers didn't experience injury from their 2013 security breach (don't worry - that argument didn't fly). Lucky Magazine is placing three bloggers on their February cover (a first ever in U.S. magazine history) and British Vogue announced that Jourdan Dunn is their February 2015 cover model. In other news, international tax laws may be problematic for people who sell digital products on Etsy. (It's a whole thing.) Our main topic is about radical self care! Kaarin's personal New Years resolution is the basis for a talk about self care. What is it? Is it indulgent? And, what does self care look like on a daily basis? Come hang out!
