Nicholas Aburn's path to AREA was never a straight line. He grew up watching CNN Style with his mother, worked full time at Prada while studying at Central Saint Martins, and famously failed under Louise Wilson before showing his collection anyway and becoming the first in his class to get a job when he was hired by Tom Ford. He now calls that failure a “delayed education,” one that taught him how to manage his own creative and emotional state — a lesson more valuable than any critique. From Ford, he learned the beauty of discipline and real clothes, and from Demna, during his time at Balenciaga couture, the importance of reduction and authenticity. In this episode he speaks about balancing fantasy with function, leadership through empathy, and optimism as a deliberate practice rather than an accident of temperament. To Aburn, what's contemporary now is simple and human, defined by less ego, more honesty, and the courage to describe what you actually see. Episode Highlights: On Early Fascination with Fashion — Watching CNN Style with his mother shaped his early understanding of fashion as something serious, creative, and meaningful. On Working at Prada During School — Balancing full-time retail work at Prada with his studies at Central Saint Martins taught him discipline and grounded his creativity in reality. On Failure as a Delayed Education — His experience with Louise Wilson became what he now calls a “delayed education,” showing him that self-management is the foundation of all creative longevity. On Observation and Duality — Moving between Prada's commercial world and St. Martins' creative chaos made him both participant and observer, sharpening his sense of perspective. On Learning from Mentors — From Tom Ford he learned the beauty of discipline and real clothes, and from Demna the importance of reduction and authenticity. On Leadership and Empathy — As creative director at AREA, he sees leadership as both creative and emotional, centered on clarity, inspiration, and shared enthusiasm. On Wearability and Fantasy — He views AREA's identity as a balance between product and performance, believing that real clothes and theatricality can coexist. On Introversion as Creative Strength — A self-professed introvert, he finds energy and perspective in solitude, designing through observation rather than noise. On Optimism as Practice — He treats optimism not as naivety but as a skill that fuels creativity, curiosity, and resilience. On What's Contemporary Now — For Aburn, it's simple and human — less ego, more honesty, and the courage to describe what you actually see. Learn more about your ad choices.

Meghan Markle's triumphant return to European high society became a "catwalk of catastrophes" this week! The Duchess sparked fury by filming herself lounging in a limo driving past the tunnel where Princess Diana died, then was caught on camera appearing to laugh when a model stumbled at the Balenciaga show. Royal commentators called it "insensitive beyond belief" and "next-level psychotic behavior." She also awkwardly snubbed Dame Kristin Scott Thomas and nearly head-butted designer Pierpaolo Piccioli before retiring to a $3,100-per-night hotel suite.Meanwhile, terrifying security revelations show a stalker got within feet of Prince Harry TWICE during his UK visit, with only two staffers to intervene when she reappeared outside his events. Harry and Meghan then collected Humanitarian of the Year awards in New York—prompting critics to note the irony of honoring people "estranged from their families who launched deeply destructive attacks for personal and financial gain."Plus: The royals delivered savage visual revenge with coordinated "grey suits" mocking Harry's complaints, reports claim William and Charles have "collapsed into silence" with trust "shattered," Kate published essay warning of "disconnection epidemic," and Deep Crown reveals the palace is already "acclimatizing the public" to William's reign as Charles serves as mere "transitional figure"!Check out "Palace Intrigue Presents: King WIlliam" here.

On the Glossy Podcast, senior fashion reporter Danny Parisi, international reporter Zofia Zwieglinska and editor-in-chief Jill Manoff break down some of the biggest fashion news of the week. This week, we're taking a look at the skyrocketing price of gold, the effect it has on jewelry brands and what it indicates about the health of the global economy. We also discuss an investigation into the labor practices of the Italian luxury brand Tod's, which is the latest of several luxury brands to come under official scrutiny for the conditions in its workshops. And in the second half of the episode, we discuss the slate of big debuts at this season's Fashion Month. Across New York, London, Milan and Paris Fashion Weeks, over a dozen brands debuted collections from new creative directors. We focus on six big debuts: Demna at Gucci, Matthieu Blazy at Chanel, Pierpaolo Piccioli at Balenciaga, Louise Trotter at Bottega Veneta, Jonathan Anderson at Dior, and Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez at Loewe. For each one, we give them a grade based on the clothes, the spectacle of the show, the consistency with the brand and its ethos, the reception, and the expected business impact on the brand as a whole. At the end of the episode, we tally up all our scores and see which debuts had the biggest impact and which ones left something to be desired.

Welp, I'm back again!  I'm talking about Meghan's MASSIVE appearance at Paris Fashion Week, as special guest of Pierpaulo Piccioli. Meghan was seen arriving late through the doors in custom Balenciaga. She also wore a second look: black dress with a cape draped over a shoulder. C'est magnifique! I loved the duality of the white look followed by a black look. If there's one thing about Meghan, she knows how to get the people talking.

Meghan Markle’s Paris Fashion Week appearance sent Ricki into a rage scroll spiral. From her “Disney villain” runway walk to that awkward Balenciaga hug, nothing escaped the team’s roasting. But the real controversy? Meghan putting her feet up in a car just metres from the tunnel where Princess Diana died. The guys could not believe the optics.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In dieser Podcast-Folge sprechen wir über Demna Gvasalias erste Gucci-Kollektion ‚La Famiglia‘, die Zukunft des Modehauses und die spannendsten Looks zwischen Tom-Ford-Ära und neuer Vision. In dieser Podcast-Episode thematisieren wir, was die Modewelt aktuell in Atem hält: die Zukunft von Gucci unter der neuen kreativen Leitung von Demna Gvasalia. Schon seit Monaten wurde über die personellen Wechsel an den Spitzen großer Modehäuser spekuliert, nun ist das Warten vorbei und die ersten Visionen werden sichtbar. Gucci präsentiert im September eine exklusive Mini-Kollektion mit dem Titel „La Famiglia“. Dieser erste Auftritt von Demna dient als Vorgeschmack auf seine zukünftige Ästhetik für das italienische Traditionshaus. Gezeigt wurde die Kollektion in Form eines Lookbooks mit 46 Aufnahmen, jedes Bild gerahmt und jedem Outfit ein eigener Titel zugeordnet – inspiriert von typisch italienischen Charakteren. So finden sich etwa die „Milanesa“ (die Mailänderin) oder der „Narcisista“ (der Narzisst). Die Kollektion umfasst sowohl Damen- als auch Herrenlooks und gibt einen spannenden Einblick in die Richtung, in die sich Gucci bewegen könnte. Begleitet wird diese Präsentation von einem aufwendig inszenierten Kurzfilm mit dem Titel „The Tiger“. Hier erscheinen nicht nur die Kleidungsstücke in eindrucksvoller Bildsprache, sondern auch zahlreiche Hollywood-Stars wie Demi Moore, Edward Norton und Elliot Page. Der Film greift die wechselvolle Geschichte des Hauses Gucci auf – dramatisch, humorvoll und voller Selbstironie. In unserem Mode-Podcast diskutieren wir die auffälligsten Kreationen dieser Kollektion, analysieren die Nähe zur legendären Tom-Ford-Ära und fragen uns: Wird Gucci wieder sexier? Oder nähert sich die Marke ästhetisch dem an, was wir bereits von Balenciaga kennen? Freu dich auf eine Episode voller kontroverser Einschätzungen, humorvoller Bewertungen und kurzweiliger Mode-News. Auch wenn sich manche Entwicklungen nach unserer Aufnahme weitergedreht haben, wollten wir dieses Thema sofort einordnen – für alle, die wissen wollen, wohin sich Gucci unter Demna Gvasalia entwickeln könnte.

In this powerful episode, Ghost is joined by Ryan Delarme and Adrian from Rise Attire to unpack the shocking themes behind their new Dauntless Dialogue documentary Darkness by Design. The discussion exposes how high fashion houses like Balenciaga have been hijacked and weaponized to push disturbing imagery, cultural degeneracy, and nihilism—by design, not accident. Ryan and Adrian walk through the making of the film, tracing the brand's corruption from Cristóbal Balenciaga's original couture vision to today's grotesque displays that blur morality, art, and exploitation. Together, they connect the dots between postmodern art, celebrity culture, and psychological operations designed to erode tradition and faith. This conversation doesn't just shine light on the darkness—it challenges listeners to confront it, resist it, and return to what is true, good, and beautiful.

This week's show kicks off with Rome welcoming listeners, sharing music picks, and paying tribute to Malcolm Jamal Warner, reflecting on his impact alongside nods to Ozzy Osbourne and Hulk Hogan. From there, Jab leads a deep dive into hip-hop's evolving style, from Run-D.M.C.'s Adidas tracksuits to today's Balenciaga fits, exploring how regional trends and social media have shaped the culture. Next, the hosts debate talent vs. rapper—is lyrical skill still essential in 2025, or has branding and presence taken over? Jab then unpacks the rise of “begging music” in rap, spotlighting emotional tracks from Drake, Future, and Rod Wave, before Shan takes listeners on a nostalgic ride through TV one-hit wonders—shows like The Get Down, Lovecraft Country, and South Central that deserved more than one season. Rome brings the conversation back to the present with a breakdown of Howard University's financial aid controversy, where students face sudden debts despite holding scholarships. Shan follows up with fresh TV news: STARZ greenlighting Power: Origins, an 18-episode prequel exploring the early days of Ghost and Tommy, sparking fan casting buzz. Finally, Mill rounds things out with a timely discussion on Trump's executive order and the NIL shake-up in college sports, weighing whether student-athletes should be considered employees and what it means for HBCUs and hip-hop crossovers. The episode closes with final thoughts, a preview of what's next, and listener shout-outs—plus calls for fans to join the conversation by dropping their takes on fashion eras, emotional rap anthems, one-season shows, and dream castings.

A Shocking Look Inside Diddy's Closet of Secrets... & Baby Oil In today's explosive developments from the federal trial of Sean “Diddy” Combs, we break down everything revealed inside his Miami mansion—straight from the courtroom. Federal Agent Gerard Gannon took the stand and physically presented the evidence seized in the 2024 raid: loaded firearms with defaced serial numbers, cocaine and MDMA tucked into designer bags, stacks of baby oil and lubricants, and cell phones hidden inside Balenciaga boots. Prosecutors argue that this wasn't just bizarre—this was infrastructure for a larger pattern of coercion and sex trafficking. We'll walk you through exactly what was found, where it was found, and why prosecutors believe it paints a picture of calculated control. From sex paraphernalia to drug paraphernalia, this wasn't just a party—it was allegedly a power mechanism. Then we examine the counterpunch from the defense, which focused not on denying the existence of these items, but on criticizing the raid itself—its SWAT-like tactics, its militarized optics, and the absence of weapons on Combs's staff. Whether you're following the case as a legal junkie, a fan of forensic psychology, or just want to understand the shocking level of detail involved in this investigation, this is a breakdown you don't want to miss. #truecrime #SeanCombs #DiddyTrial #federaltrial #forensicevidence #cassieventura #georgekaplan #diddyevidence #traumabonding #celebrityjustice Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

As any established photographer will tell you, forging a career can be a long and arduous journey, with no instruction manual to guide you through the process. The lofty world of top-notch pros is often shrouded in mystery and full of things they don't teach in photo school. In today's show, we get to peek behind the scenes of this complex, and often chaotic environment in a chat with two colleagues who've found a way to balance their freelance careers as independent creators with lucrative work assisting in a high-profile photo studio. Listen in, to learn how a casual job application through LinkedIn landed Mike Foley an interview, ultimately resulting in a salaried role as first assistant to a world-class portrait photographer. While technical mastery counts for a lot, we discuss the critical importance of soft skills like personality and work ethic to success in such environments. We also distinguish between salaried full-time work and more common freelance roles, and the juggling required to coordinate the complex planning involved.  As freelance lighting assistant (and longtime café owner) Alex Savidis admits, “the juggle becomes quite hard at times, but I think it's a necessity, especially when you're trying to pursue something that you're passionate about. You can't just become a successful photographer overnight. It takes years to build up to that.” Guests: Mike Foley & Alex Savidis Episode Timeline: 2:57: Mike Foley describes heirloom portraiture as his bespoke brand of portrait with the ability to last a lifetime. 5:10: The backstory to Mike getting hired as a photo assistant for a world class portrait photographer. 11:25: The personality and skill set needed to work in a high-end photo studio, Alex's take on being added to the team, plus the various roles within the studio. 17:30: The role of a B-cam operator to capture the finer details of a video shoots, plus an overview of a typical shoot day. 23:05: Mike talks about the video work in his portfolio as a differentiating factor in his getting the assisting job. 28:23: The work structure and expectations for photo assistants, from freelance to salaried positions, plus discussion about length of tenure. 34:50: Episode Break 35:55: Memorable stories from the studio—from the largest two-day shoot with a crew of 150, to the core personnel involved in work-a-day shoots. 42:28: NDA's and the etiquette of what an assistant is able to share when dealing with high-end clients. 46:30: The growing acceptance of photographers who do freelance work and juggle regular 9-5 jobs with photo assignments.   52:07: Learning outcomes from working in a world class portrait studio, and the mindset to hold yourself to a higher standard. 57:49: Mike and Alex share advice for budding photographers based on what they've learned from working in a world-class photo studio.   Guest Bios:  Mike Foley is a New York City-based photographer specializing in heirloom portraiture and editorial photography. After starting out photographing weddings and small events, Mike quickly grew into commercial work, providing clients with timeless images they can use to elevate their visual presence and define their brand. His approach behind the camera is warm and humanistic, allowing his subjects the space to be themselves. In addition to his own photo services, Mike is currently content manager and digital designer for an internationally renowned portrait photographer. On set, he serves as first assistant and B-camera operator, while also providing on-set and post-production support behind the scenes for clients like Balenciaga, New York Magazine, and many more. Australian native Alex Savidis is passionate about storytelling through both still and moving imagery. Based in New York since 2020, he pushes creative boundaries by merging elements from his street and landscape photography into his portraiture & wedding work, weaving memories into art. For the past year and a half, Alex has also worked as lighting assistant and B cam operator in the same high-profile portrait studio as Mike, catering to world-renowned clients and political leaders. On B cam, it's his job to focus on finer details and provide viewers with a deeper, more intimate perspective on a given subject, capturing nuances that enhance the storytelling. Additionally, when he's not juggling camera gear or fine-tuning lights, you can find Alex behind the counter of the café Regular NYC in southern Manhattan, an establishment he founded in early 2024.

Brad Goreski is a celebrity stylist whose impressive client list includes the legendary Demi Moore. Over the last 15 years, he's created countless stunning looks for her, but as she promoted her film The Substance over the last year, Goreski and Moore took things to a whole new level.
