Episode 20: with Linda Smith

In this episode (the final episode of season 2) I am joined by the iconic makeup artist and designer Linda Smyth.

A Kildare native and IADT graduate, Linda left Ireland the day after she graduated for Melbourne where she got much more creative with her photography and design. Not one to do the farm work for the Australian Visa she then moved to London after a year, and worked with MAC. But most recently she's moved onto something big.

Linda chats with me about how she struggled to find printed pop-culture t-shirts and tank tops that she wanted to wear and came up with the idea of her own brand. Not being one to do ads on her own instagram, Linda is excited to create things that won't need instagram ads and that the gxrls who get them will create enough of a buzz and a community on their own.

She talks me through her inspiration and process for her brand and who she envisions wearing her clothes. This girl is SMART and knows where she's going.

I just want to say thank you to all my listeners for supporting me during Season 2. Your support has meant that I've grown and improved much faster than I could have ever imagined. 

And thank you to Depop! The absolute best sponsor I could ever ask for. My Depop shop of the week is @catherineaquarius3 for the MOST incredible second hand Y2K Passport to Paris style dresses, tanks and tops. Honestly along with @maddyhay this is one of my favourite pages.
