Vlog #2: BREAKING NEWS - Another Menswear Darling is BANKRUPT
I'm testing the waters and shifting from longer podcast episodes to shorter videos on Youtube, hence the Vlog designation. You can check them out at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMoEq3HYxB416Hb0C0d19Zg. These Vlog uploads are audio extracts from the video.

Yup. Menswear darling Equus filed bankruptcy earlier in 2023, but ANOTHER even more shocking bankruptcy will be filed in a few days (not yet public knowledge). This is my (hot) take.

Vlog #1: What are Clothes?
I'm testing the waters and shifting from longer podcast episodes to shorter videos on Youtube, hence the Vlog designation. You can check them out at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMoEq3HYxB416Hb0C0d19Zg. These Vlog uploads are audio extracts from the video.

As a clothing channel, I thought I would start by aligning on the definition of clothing.

E21: Laura Zwanziger wants to bring fashion to the 21st Century
Laura Zwanziger, founder of Fit for Everybody and former knitwear designer at Oscar de la Renta, is designing something new these days: a way to bring the apparel design process to the present (I'd say future, but the process is still stuck mostly in the pre-internet age). 

Please check out the website and Instagram for more details.

One of the items mentioned in the episode can be found at the Fit for Everybody blog.

E20: How I Design Clothing
I believe it is important to have a philosophy on how I create a product. Because the ideas are limitless and I like to have a way to reel myself in and keep things consistent and cohesive. Everyone can do anything, so I think what makes each person special is 'how' something is done and how strongly the end result adheres to the overall philosophy of doing things.

Anyway, enough theory crafting. In this episode, I try to explain how I design my clothes.

E19: Why I Design Clothing
I am a terrible podcaster. I realized I have never introduced myself and given my background. So due to the delay in some of my projects and the unavailability of guests due to the amount of work right now, I wanted to share who I am and why I am making clothes.
