Big news! We are still alive and still love you and fashion and podcasts. In other news, French President Emmanuel Macron has requested that the fashion industry get its shit together in terms of sustainability and other “initiatives.” So Mr. Salma Hayek himself, Francois-Henri Pinault (of fashion conglomerate Kering) has spearheaded a “Sustainability Pact” for […]
Do you ever think about the impact our clothes-buying has on the world? On our culture? On each other? Maybe not. But our guest Jess Montgomery sure has. And lucky for us (and you!) she took some time to come over to the hot hot basement and chat with us about these impacts, how to […]
Hello Hag hunnies! Ever been to a store to buy a thing and all they had at the store was just things to buy? Just go in, get it, and leave? Well that kind of transaction isn’t enough for some brands, especially big ones, who want you to have a whole experience while at the store […]
Lots to cover this week, Hags! We can’t not talk about the Met gala and all the hits and misses (there were a few) but the real deal is a kiki about line reviews. A line review is basically an internal show for buyers and other members of the production team by the designers for a […]

She walks us through fashion networking, the wide world of academia and where fashion fits into it, her city-based fashion history books, impacts of colonialism on fashion and culture, and also starts up […]
Karl Lagerfeld is a name even non-fashion-y people can recognize, and now that he’s gone, what will fashion look like? His contributions to fashion are unmatched but there are definitely things are are not going to miss. Listen to the tea spilling, Hags! (also keep your ears peeled for a secret message from Margot…) PS […]
REBEL REBEL! Fashion has always been a rebellious act, from those who create it, to those who refuse to embrace it, to those who actively reject it. Rebels continually push things forward to new limits and new directions by updating the status quo, but rebellion doesn’t have to be as obvious as wearing a torn […]
Have you ever been seduced by a weird Instagram ad? Or a product some random “influencer” posted about? The answer is probably yes! But why tho? We dig in and talk about how Instagram is dominating how consumers are shopping these days. Peel your eyeballs away from your phone for a few mins and come […]
