i hate fashion (& other stuff!): Recent Episodes
avrgbbs
julia payton and michal perelmuter are avrgbbs, a pair of silly designers who talk about fashion, culture and other things they dislike.
join us as we take trip down memory lane and tell the story of how we met and started working together during our [chaotic] first year of fashion school.
this week we start off with a very serious conversation about how to distinguish between *nsync vs. backstreet boys and introduce a fancy new segment where we talk about something we’re inspired by. we then dive into discussing how society values labour/creativity (as it relates to our experience as young fashion designers). We also discuss how concepts of value/"fair" pricing are complicated by both fast fashion/luxury brands & finally, the negative effects of relying on social media to build a brand.
come get under covers as we talk about how we spent our christmas and review some experiences & emotions from 2020. Including our pre-pandemic trip to paris, thoughts on challenging the traditional fashion business model, how career choices shape your identity, hobbies being perceived as less valuable than your “job” and how our design process & values have changed as a result of this year.
welcome to our first episode where we moan about staying hydrated, candles, our mouldy house, face masks, narcissism, creating "ethical/sustainable" products and your own fashion brand in 2020.
