The Sample Cupboard

This week we are hosting another very special guest in The Sample Cupboard!! Meet Alma, the girl boss behind international clothing brand, She Has Evolved. Join us for a full blown chat about all things fashion, building a brand and figuring out your true calling in life - she really has done it all!  After balancing a fashion side hustle with a full time corporate career in advertising, Alma made She Has Evolved her full time gig in 2019.  Now, with over 94k followers on Instagram (and counting), there’s no sign of her stopping!  Alma shared with us all the ups and downs that have come with single handedly building a business; from selling one single garment online to having a global customer base.  She really is the definition of a BOSS - you do not want to miss this one!

Welcome to part one of our conversation on the big old world of Adulting!  This week we aim to provide some helpful tips and advice on how manage your money, from people who have tried, failed and managed to pull it back (that’s us btw… we are “people”).  This is in no way a masterclass or a “HOW TO”, think of it more as a dummies guide to money management.  As 20-somethings ourselves, we know what it’s like to be plunged into adulthood trying to figure it all out as you go along and money is a huge stress for everyone right now.  But don’t worry, we’ve made the mistakes so that you don’t have to!

This week we’re bearing all to give you the lowdown on the fashion industry.  We answer your questions on what it’s really like, risking our reputations and revealing the biggest F-up we’ve both made whilst on the job (and how we survived)!  We also talk you through the steps we took to get into the industry and offer some advice on how to get into it yourself.  On top of all of this, we’ve rebranded our “Thought of the Week” section with a new name, “Shower Thoughts”, and Jonny’s been doing a lot of thinking about roadside petrol stations…
