In this mini episode of Raw & Real we talk about our favorite summer trends! As businesses and restaurants are slowly starting to re-open, consumers still feel hesitant to purchase summer outfits due to the uncertainty amidst Covid-19. We discuss trends for summer & reminisce on some pieces that are making a comeback. These are the goodies that are waiting to be purchased in our online shopping carts and we have a feeling you’ll be adding them to yours as well!!

Heyy it’s Meghan and Sam! We’re two 23 year old girls living in New York City. Growing up in the midwest and the south, we were completely unaware of what careers the world of fashion had to offer. Working in the fashion industry can often seem intimidating, materialistic and shallow. Through listening to our podcast and engaging with us online, we break down those stereotypes and dive into the discussion surrounding job opportunities both creative and business oriented within the fashion industry.

Raw & Real will uncover unknown aspects to the fashion industry and the entrepreneurial world by interviewing industry leaders, serial entrepreneurs and girls just like us. In each episode and blog post, we bring to light how authentic conversations can lead to good ideas, genuine connections and great change :)

We post new episodes of the podcast every other Thursday! You can find complimentary articles and social networking handles to existing podcast episode guests’ here, as well as some more fun content.

If you have someone in your life that you think keeps it real and would be a good fit to come on the podcast, shoot us a DM @rawandrealnyc on Instagram or send us an email at raw&[email protected].

We’re so excited to introduce this platform to share more about our experiences and learn more about yours.
