This episode is for the REAL fashion heads and critical thinkers. This week, Alyssa sits down with the esteemed Rachel Tashjian, fashion critic at the Washington Post and the brains behind the cult-favorite, invite-only newsletter Opulent Tips, for a fascinating discussion about the state of fashion media and the industry at large. Tune in to hear about Rachel's origin story as a blogger, plus her ascent up the masthead with stints at Vanity Fair (as a publicist!), Garage, GQ, and Harper's Bazaar; what she learned studying the work of critics like Cathy Horyn and Robin Givhan; figuring out how to find the fashion angle in non-fashion stories, because that's how so much of the world thinks; the value of having a good (and scrappy) attitude, as well as of asking for what you want; how to find your voice and your unique point of view, and why both are crucial to success; paying attention to what makes you a person and letting people see that; how working in men's fashion differs from working in women's fashion; writing for a magazine vs. a newspaper vs. your own audience; how her best bosses always led with integrity; looking at advertiser relationships as an interesting puzzle to solve, rather than a limitation; whether it's easier or harder than ever to be a fashion journalist now; what happens when a designer or a brand takes issue with her reviews; the importance of always staying open to the next thing; starting Opulent Tips ahead of the Substack and recommendation newsletter boom; Lorde referencing Opulent Tips in her last album cycle, and so much more.This episode was recorded in the podcast studio at The SQ @ 205 Hudson.

New York Fashion Week is upon us! To kick off the Spring 2025 season, Alyssa sits down with one of the city's most prolific fashion writers, Emilia Petrarca, whose popular shopping newsletter, Shop Rat, turns a year old this month. Emilia gives a play-by-play of her climb up the masthead — which involves stints at W Magazine and New York Magazine's The Cut — and shares the most important lessons she's learned along the way, including the realizations that there's no such thing as a “dream job” anymore, and the career path promised in The Devil Wears Prada is obsolete in today's media landscape. Tune in to find out how she pioneered the nepo baby beat, why a story about Paris Hilton changed the trajectory of her career, how she learned to follow her instincts, hone her voice, and go with her gut, what it was like to attend runway shows alongside Cathy Horyn, why getting offline and going outside are crucial for creativity, the most important (and fun!) parts of reporting from Fashion Month, how she decided it was time to bet on herself and do her own thing, the ups and downs of navigating freelance life while starting a publication from scratch, how to know you have a hit story on your hands, the power of saying “no,” what's in store for year two of Shop Rat, and so much more.

The industry veteran and renown Critic-at-Large at New York Magazine and The Cut discusses how the pandemic has shifted the way journalists cover fashion, signalling an editorial transformation. LONDON, United Kingdom — For fashion critic Cathy Horyn, the pandemic has ushered in yet another transformation of fashion media. Just like the brands and designers who pivoted and adopted new digital tools to reach buyers and consumers amid show cancellations, publications maximised their online presence to guide the industry at large through a period of upheaval. In the latest episode of The BoF Podcast, Horyn sat down with BoF Editor-at-Large Tim Blanks to discuss reviewing the upcoming shows this month (a mixture of both physical and live events) and her outlook for a post-Covid-19 fashion industry. For Horyn, the media reflects and adapts to the needs of its time. “There’s been incredible [fashion] writers all the way back to the 1830s at least… and they all did something different. Journalists adapted to whatever was going on at that time,” she said. With the advent of the internet and social media, the industry saw the emergence of new voices and new talent. Amid this current period of uncertainty, Horyn remains optimistic that the industry will emerge stronger and transformed. “We’ve seen a lot of experimentation in the last… two months… I think going forward...it’s going to be an adjustment for everybody covering fashion, [but] I certainly think it should be covered.” Will the show go on? This has been one of the questions on the minds of designers across the globe, but with New York Fashion Week given the go ahead (sort of) industry insiders and consumers are in for a fashion week unlike anything ever seen before: a mixture of in-person shows, livestreams, films and virtual panel discussions. What does this mean for journalists, like Horyn, that usually review the collections gracing the runway? “We don’t even know if we’re going to be covering shows like we did till possibly next fall,” she said. “My long-term feelings for the industry are really strong… [fashion] will transform itself but we just don’t know what that’s going to [look like].” For Horyn and other critics, it would be remiss to ignore the allure of the physical runway show. A collection “doesn’t [always] translate so well on television or on a video screen,” Horyn said. But one thing that remains, whether via a screen or in real time, is the “sense of discovery and [realisation] that some of that stuff ... moves the historical needle of fashion and we get to see that,” she said.

Cathy Horyn resigns, New York's model law and what it means for Fashion Week, emerging designers target celebrities and SS14 campaigns that made us go "wow". Listen up!
On December 2, 2013, Cathy Horyn, Fashion Critic for the New York Times, sat with Ron Johnson, former CEO of JCPenney and SVP of Retail at Apple, to discuss brand integrity and the future of retail.
Förra veckan debuterade Hedi Slimane (1968-) som chefsdesigner för det franska modehuset Yves Saint Laurent. Förväntningarna var höga och förvirringen stor. Var det ett steg framåt? Eller var det bakåt? Och vad menar han med att döpa om modehuset? Att stryka namnet Yves och bara ha kvar Saint Laurent? Och var det verkligen så smart att kasta dynga på recensenter, via twitter? I veckans STIL synar vi en av modevärldens största, och hemligaste, stjärnor närmare i sömmarna. Hedi Slimame har tidigare arbetat som designer av herrkläder, först för Yves Saint Laurent och senare som chefsdesigner för Dior Homme där han 2001 lanserade den slimmade silhuetten för män. Den fick inte bara modeskaparen Karl Lagerfeld att banta ned sig 40 kilo för att kunna klämma in sig i hans tajta och kroppsnära kostymer. En look som han – och många andra – fortfarande håller sig till. Man skulle faktiskt kunna påstå att Hedi Slimanes slimmade stil fick samma breda genomslag för dagens män, som Christian Diors ”New Look” fick för kvinnor i slutet av 40-talet. För idag klär sig de flesta män, åtminstone yngre, i en långt smalare stil än förr. 2007 lämnade Hedi Slimane Paris och modebranschen för att istället flytta till Los Angeles, där han bland annat ägnat sig åt att fotografera. Men nu är han tillbaka i modevärlden igen och nyfikenheten på vad som ska ske i framtiden är stor. För i modevärlden pågår just nu ett slags tronskifte. Inte bara Yves Saint Laurent har bytt designer. Det har även Dior gjort. Det innebär att två av världens allra största och mäktigaste modehus (som ägs av de två jättelika stora och konkurrerande franska modekonglomeraten LVMH och PPR) håller på att staka ut nya vägar inför framtiden. På Dior – som är LVMH:s kronjuvel och ägs av mångmiljardären Bernard Arnault – har designern Raf Simons tagit över efter John Galliano som åkte ut med öronen före, efter att ha slängt ur sig antisemitiska uttalanden på fyllan i en bar i Paris. Och på Yves Saint Laurent – som är en skattkista för PPR (som drivs av François-Henri Pinault) har den forne designern Stefano Pilati fått sparken efter tio år och ersatts av Hedi Slimane. Båda är 44 år, har liknande estetik, smak och bakgrund som herrdesigner. Båda betraktas som en sorts ultrabegåvade underbarn i branschen. Fast om Raf Simons kan beskrivas som det snälla vita fåret, kan Hedi Slimane med lätthet kallas det stökiga svarta. Han har redan ställt till med rabalder genom att kalla New York Times modekritiker Cathy Horyn för ”skolgårdsmobbare”. Mer om snarstuckna kreatörer och deras bråk med kritiker berättar journalisten Andres Lokko i veckans program. Vi berättar förstås även mer om Hedi Slimane och hans bakgrund och smak för glamrock. Vi har även träffat art directorn Lars Hall som förklarar vad man kan vinna och förlora på att ändra varumärkens logotyper. Och så reder vi ut hur kort eller lång en byxa egentligen ska vara. Veckans gäst är Agnes Braunerhielm, moderedaktör på tidningen Rodeo och frilansande modejournalist.
