Starting this month, I'm going to do two new things. One is that I'll plan on releasing episodes on a more regular schedule, on the first, third, and fourth Thursdays of each month. The other is that the second of those three episodes will be paywalled, and it will be a bit different in content from my usual podcast. It'll be shorter, typically a half hour give or take, and it will be much more topical than I usually like to be. I'll talk to my guest or guests about some current politics and news, and I'll talk about the literary intellectual controversy or trend of the moment, if there's one at hand when we're recording.I won't be offended if you don't want to pay, but of course will be grateful if you do. And to my stalwart existing paid subscribers who forked over money when I wasn't even paywalling anything, much gratitude. You're on my hall of honors list, which as you know is hanging in the burned out husk of the Friendly's Restaurant on Sumner Ave in Springfield Massachusetts. -DanMy guest on the podcast today is Derek Guy, who is North America's premiere men's fashion journalist and critic. This isn't a highly competitive category—most fashion writing is dumb and corrupt, and most of it is about women's fashion—but Derek wears the crown exceptionally well. He shows what's possible in that space, consistently writing thoughtful, substantive essays not just about what's hip in men's fashion but what it means culturally, sociologically, politically.If you've heard of Derek, it's almost certainly because for a while he was an accidental celebrity on Twitter. He was just on the platform, doing his well-regarded but relatively obscure men's fashion thing, slowly building his online presence, when the algorithm took hold of him and made him ubiquitous on the site, dropping him into the feeds of millions of people who had never shown any interest whatsoever in his subject. As the Wall Street Journal reported in 2023:Of all the changes at Twitter Inc. under Elon Musk so far, this might be the most unexpected: A California-based menswear writer, who weighs in on incorporating western-style wear into your wardrobe, and on his favorite Italian tailors, suddenly seems to be all over the platform.The Twitter account @dieworkwear, run by Derek Guy, is popping up left and right in users' timelines—even for those who don't follow him. The phenomenon has befuddled users—and Mr. Guy himself.Derek doesn't know why this happened. He didn't have a backroom deal with Elon Musk. It just happened. He became the “men's wear guy on Twitter.”I initially reached out to Derek not to have him on the podcast, but because I was trying to develop a story pitch on men's fashion in the age of Trump, and I wanted to see if I could pick his brain for ideas. It turned out he was already at work on a few different stories on different aspects of that topic, and it occurred to me that I could kill two birds with one podcast episode. One of the articles we discuss in our conversation hasn't run yet. The other, his Bloomberg story “The Evolution of the Alpha Male Aesthetic,” goes back into the history of macho male fitness influencer fashion to explain why the new crop of alpha male influencers dresses the way it does. Among the interesting ironies it points out is that the styles we currently think of as manosphere chic—Joe Rogan in his super tight jeans and super tight t-shirts, Andrew Tate stuffed into slim fit suits like a misogynistic sausage—are directly descended from 1990s high-end fashions that were intended as rejections of machisimo. Guy writes:Early adopters of slim-fit style were fashion-forward urbanites who embraced this European vision of youthful cool. They wore shrunken blazers, used chamomile-infused moisturizers, and could explain the difference between Chelsea boots and jodhpurs. But their aesthetic rattled the mainstream. In search of a label, the media landed on “metrosexual,” a term that, not so subtly, cast suspicion on a man's gender and sexuality. The metrosexual was someone who took pride in taste and understood why “some women have 47 pairs of black shoes.” What set him apart wasn't just his grooming habits or aesthetic literacy, but his attitude towards gender performance. As the New York Times wrote in 2003, this new archetype possessed “a carefree attitude toward the inevitable suspicion that a man who dresses well… is gay.”While slim-fit marched down high-fashion runways, it also crept through indie rock shows, early style blogs, and menswear forums like StyleForum and Superfuture. These communities turned fit into a kind of doctrine, elevating silhouettes like APC New Standards and Uniqlo button-downs as markers of elite taste. As The Strokes played onstage in threadbare tees and skin-tight denim, wealthy urbanites chased the look by purchasing Slimane's most popular creations: Dior's 17 cm and 19 cm jeans, named after the width of their leg openings. Those priced out of luxury labels raided the women's aisle for tight denim, a gender-bending hack that Levi's would later celebrate with their 2011 “Ex-Girlfriend Jeans” for men. Even the heritage revival got a trim. The traditional symbols of masculinity—workwear, Ivy tailoring, military surplus—were recut for a different era, one where style was no longer bulky but compressed, tailored close to the bone. In its early years, slim fit was met with derision and low-grade cultural panic. Critics said consumerism had hollowed out traditional manhood, replacing it with men who spent too much time curating their appearance. Others fretted that the rise of shrunken silhouettes was a symptom of masculine decay. But soon, everyone became metrosexual. Fashion magazines treated slim fit as a kind of pseudo-science: shoulder seams had to sit on the edge of the shoulder bone; trousers must taper just-so; any loose fabric signaled laziness or sloppiness. J.Crew helped bring this new silhouette into everyday offices. Their Liquor Store concept shop, opened in 2008, transformed an after-hours watering hole into a menswear-only boutique laden with 1960s-era references to traditional masculinity—antique rugs, leather club chairs, and Hemmingway novels sitting alongside Red Wings—even as they sold slim chambray shirts and cropped blazers. At the same time, Mad Men introduced a new masculine figure: Don Draper. Emotionally sealed off and impeccably dressed, Draper gave the slim-cut suit an edge of stoic authority. Slim tailoring had became synonymous with professional competence and upward mobility.Eventually, slim fit stopped feeling radical. Its early ties to gender rebellion faded as the silhouette was absorbed into more conventional ideas of masculinity. What once looked subversive—shrunken jeans, tight shirts, tailoring that clung instead of concealing—became standard fare in offices, weddings, and Tinder profiles. New subcultures rebranded the look with more conventionally masculine associations. EDC (Everyday Carry) enthusiasts, armed with pocket knives, flashlights, and multitools, adopted slim-fit gear as part of a rugged preparedness ethos. Their slim tactical pants and fitted henleys weren't about gender ambiguity; they were survivalist uniforms. Athleisure brands such as Rhone and Alo Yoga pushed the same silhouette in poly-stretch fabrics, merging gymwear with streetwear into a softer kind of masculine armor. In Silicon Valley, tech founders embraced minimalist wardrobes built around Everlane tees, slim joggers, and all-white sneakers. The aesthetic once dismissed as “metro” was now treated as self-optimization. Slim fit, in the end, didn't rewrite the code of masculinity. It just offered a new way to perform it.In addition to the two stories we discuss, he's also gone on to write a new story on a person we discuss in the conversation - Trumpist intellectual Michael Anton, who is a huge clothes horse and for a long time was a regular presence on high end men's fashion forums. It's a fun conversation, particularly if you're interested in questions of masculinity, culture, and identity. Listen!

Everlane's success has partly been driven by differentiating themselves from the rest of the fashion industry. Crucially they have reframed the competition as behaving unfairly. In this episode we look at a series of behavioral science experiments that show brands can disrupt consumer apathy if they position the competition as having behaved unfairly. We cover a range of studies by Werner Guth, Sally Blount and Richard Thaler. Most importantly we focus on the practical marketing applications.

Host Philip Berman talks to Maxine Bedat, Executive Director at New Standard Institute, the official sponsor of the Fashion Environmental Accountability Act, a new bill introduced into the California State Assembly at the start of February 2025 which, if enacted, would become the first law in the country to require brands to engage in “environmental due diligence” concerning their products and supply chains.   This Californian Bill is essentially the same as the 'New York Fashion Act' which was introduced into the New York State legislature in 2022 - though it's not yet law - and which is also backed by Maxine, The New Standard Institute and a broad coalition of industry folk including influential names such as, Rothys, Everlane, Reformation, Eileen Fisher, Patagoina, ThredUp, Circ, Vestiaire Collective, Stella McCartney, Ganni, Faherty, Cotopaxi, NRDC, Sierra Club, Canopy, Trove, EVRNU, American Academy of Pediatrics. Full list at thefashionact.org Maxine talks about both bills, their purpose, what stage they have reached in the legislative process. what it's like trying to push through groundbreaking legislation in two states on opposite sides of the US, simultaneously, whether her work has become harder with President Trump in the White House, and how she manages to build broad support with politicians of all persuasions.

Today, our guest is Nan Yu, Head of Product at Linear, a purpose-built tool for planning and building products. Prior to working at Linear, Nan worked at Mode, Abstract, Everlane, and Bank of America. On today's episode, Nan talks to LogRocket's VP of Marketing, Jeff Wharton, about: Why the only thing that matters is the next category launch — even if it's held together with duct tape "You can have everything held together with duct tape and it's okay. And I think that's an uncomfortable sort of mindset for people to adopt really. At Everlane, the only thing that was important was the next category launch launch. You can sacrifice everything else. If the next category launch goes well, numbers go up, we raise more money, we get more customers. That's the only thing that matters." Why it's important to have conviction in making decisions — even if the market slaps you in the face "But at the end of the day, you know, as a leader, you own the decisions that they're making. As a leader saying, 'Here's where we're going to be great and really differentiate and rise above the market.' And I could be wrong, right? I could be aggressively, tragically wrong, and that's fine. That's actually probably better, right? You want to know for sure that you're wrong and that you can switch directions; failing fast is a thing that we want to do. It's not like, 'Oh, well, we're gonna wait and see.' No, have some conviction around something, focus on it, and let the market slap you in the face if it's not correct." Why engineering teams can sometimes suffer from learned helplessness, and why it's detrimental to product innovation "You see teams where there's a product manager per five or six engineers. And engineers will tend to check out a little bit from understanding how the product actually works, understanding the customer, because, well, we got this PM senior right here. It's not out of laziness necessarily, it's more like, well, this is someone's job description, so it wouldn't feel right for me to do that. And then you start having this learned helplessness. So I think that dynamic is probably way more dangerous than a product manager being overworked. If you end up in a state where your engineering team is like disengaged and they have learned helplessness, good luck trying to unwind that. That is a cultural change that you're not going to observe until it's too late, and it's very difficult to to reverse and it takes a long time."

Welcome, Fashion Besties! It's officially the most fabulous time of the year, and this week, we're serving you the ultimate holiday and winter trend guide for 2024.   Whether you're planning your holiday outfits, updating your winter wardrobe, or simply avoiding seasonal fashion pitfalls, this episode is your stylish survival kit.   Host Holly Katz dives into the must-haves of the season, the brands and boutiques to know, and—of course—identifies the most egregious winter fashion crimes to help you stay ahead of the curve.   Trust and believe, this episode will make you the best dressed at every event and sleigh all day, (and all winter long!) #DUH (link)   HOT TIP: Head on over to Holly's Pinterest board for this episode and see all products discussed in the flesh for your shopping pleasure.     Key Talking Points   1. Sweater Weather Must-Haves #nonnegosh Holly shares her love for cozy yet chic sweaters from brands like Toccin and Favorite Daughter, highlighting timeless pieces like cashmere pullovers and chunky knits. You can't go wrong buying one for you and one for someone else. #TRUTH   She also adores Lingua Franca's custom embroidered sweaters with phrases like “Aprés All Day.” These pieces are not just warm—they're wardrobe investments that elevate your winter style and are hot-ticket gift items for past seasons that are still going strong.      2. Boot Trends That Work for Every Occasion Winter boots are a wardrobe staple that will never die. Classic riding boots, cowboy boots (short or mid-calf styles), and heeled boots in fun colors like burgundy or navy are here to stay. Get on the boot train; it won't let you down.   Brands like Dolce Vita, Freebird, and Nordstrom's curated collections take center stage. Think you can get by without these winter essentials? Fashion. Crime. #weloveboots 3. Hot Blazers & Chic Outerwear The blazer game is strong this winter as it's been in past seasons, with leather and cropped styles leading the charge. Holly calls out Princess Polly for affordable faux leather options and highlights a chic tweed blazer from Anine Bing.   She also warns against oversized, long shapeless jackets that add unnecessary bulk—a fashion crime we can all avoid with the right alterations.   4. Holiday Party Dresses Sparkly “festive tops”? No, ma'am. Show-stopping dresses from boutiques like Reformation, Saks, and Alice & Olivia? Yes ma'am.   Off-the-shoulder A-line dresses, pleated full skirts, and leather midi dresses are some of our top picks for the festive season. Let us help you get out of your comfort zone. Pair them with statement earrings and an evening clutch for full-on glam. Worried about a shoe? You can't go wrong with a metallic. They go with everything.    5. Accessory Alert: Bags and Belts These three main bags should be in your closet...and your life: a boss tote, an everyday handbag, and a metallic or fun-colored evening clutch. #DOIT   She also insists on having at least two belts—one skinny and one wide—to instantly upgrade any outfit. Black and brown are the basics. Extra credit for white or a fun color.   6.​ Tops That Elevate Your Wardrobe Versatile, high-quality tops that can effortlessly transition from casual to dressy will never let you down. Don't compromise color or price for fit. You get what you pay for.    Everlane and Hampden Clothing are great options for stylish blouses with clean lines and unique fabrics. Start small and figure out what looks best for your body type.    Suggestions include but are not limited to: silk or silk-blend tops, billowy sleeves, and cap-sleeve blouses that layer beautifully under jackets or sweaters. It's a must for a cohesive wardrobe whether you're working from home or not.     Fashion Crimes to Avoid   • Using a cheap, distorted mirror as your “style guide.” Invest in a proper full-length mirror with adequate lighting!   • Opting for boring, too-long, oversized blazers that you think hide your figure. Get them altered to emphasize your waist.    • Settling for predictable “festive tops” and clothing that you feel you can only wear once a year at holiday parties. Opt for a fab dress and don't be afraid to be the best dressed person in the room. Also? Sequins during the day with jeans? Yes, please!     Wrap-Up   HOT TIP: Head on over to Holly's Pinterest board for this episode and see all products discussed in the flesh for your shopping pleasure.   Thank you so much for joining us in this stylish celebration of the season while addressing the pitfalls that can sneak into your winter wardrobe. (Link)   Whether it's elevating your look with luxe layers or accessorizing with intention, Holly is here to ensure you avoid fashion crimes before they happen.     Don't forget: fashion and style are your friends, not your enemies!   Happiest of holidays to you, and let us know what you want to hear. Please engage with us on socials and don't forget to DM us to get a shout-out on the next episode. Send us pics of your holiday party looks so we can tell you how gorg you are.  The Best Fashion Friend You Never Knew You Needed! We're here for ya.  Hosted by Holly Katz.

Can “radical transparency” be an effective strategy within the supplement industry? While this subject matter exploration began almost a decade ago through various strategic management consulting projects, it has also found its way into many of my past content pieces. But the inspiration behind this current radical transparency content has roots in what first motivated me to investigate the management philosophy. A few weeks ago, I'm scrolling LinkedIn and see this business story shared that had an image of this fluorescent neon yellow stick pack supplement and its founder that looked familiar (but I couldn't instantly recognize him). After opening the article, I got enough information that identified why I knew Michael Preysman (i.e. he founded the disruptive fashion brand Everlane) and the supplement brand name (i.e. Magna), which has dubbed itself “the world's first magnesium powered daily hydration formula.” And you might be asking…what does a guy from the apparel industry know about how to start a supplement company anyways? But here's maybe the crazy thing…that few pundits want to acknowledge about today's supplement industry, winners/losers are rarely created by solving some complex science problem with a vitamins, minerals, and supplements (VMS) product. That being said, Micheal Preysman did correctly spot a potential market opportunity in that most adult Americans are magnesium deficit. Furthermore, he had conviction in connecting that “supplements trend” and leveraging a sequence of other dimensions shaping the future of the supplement industry with a key “driver of demand.” Now…all these “sound strategic decisions” doesn't mean Magna will be successful on any level, let alone to the $200 million revenue mark like Everlane, but it does increase the probability of that result. But more importantly to the main focus of this content…if brand authenticity is upheld, and Magna acts consistent with its tagline “for those that play the long game,” then it could also help disrupt the supplement industry by channeling some of the “radical transparency” elements that Everlane championed within the fashion industry...and combining it with supply chain traceability strategies of Ritual vitamins. But my latest first principles thinking content will explore if this level of combined radical transparency (and traceability) could really work within the supplement industry. TBH this “build model” hasn't even been attempted to a large degree within the supplement industry, but that doesn't mean I don't wholeheartedly believe it would be successful because of the distinctly bold strategic narrative. Now by saying that…I also acknowledge the sheer difficulty required to pull it off at the highest level. But as the famous proverb says, “there is only one way to eat an elephant: one bite at a time.” Because that's what trips up too many entrepreneurs when they look at pursuing radical transparency (or traceability), it's not required to eat the elephant in one bite. Instead, it's initially about embracing the spirit of these pursuits. After that…it comes down to breaking down the pursuit down into more manageable SMART goals, setting expectations (or standards), aligning company incentives, and then understanding that it's an endless opportunity to do better. And that's because there is no “project” endpoint when pursuing radical transparency (or traceability), it's a “process” of constant improvement.

Michael Preysman turned heads in 2011 when he launched pioneering DTC apparel brand Everlane. With his latest venture – Magna, a brand of sports wellness powders infused with magnesium – he has once again captured the attention of many, particularly those in the beverage industry. In 2022, Michael stepped down as Everlane CEO and took a new role as the company's executive chair and climate lead. After handing over the day-to-day responsibilities of running Everlane, whose 2023 revenues are pegged to be north of $200 million, Michael focused on Magna, which debuted last month. Leading with the tagline “for those who play the long game,” Magna markets hydration powders that are made with three forms of magnesium along with electrolytes. The company, which developed the products in partnership with doctors and athletes, are promoted as providing greater focus, energy and recovery.  Magna comes in four flavors – lemon lime, tea lemonade, watermelon lime, and peach mango – and is sold direct-to-consumer via its website, where a box of 30 sachets sells for $55 or $45 by subscription. In this episode, Michael spoke about how his personal interest in magnesium spurred the development of Magna, how he leaned into his skill set to create the brand, lessons from building Everlane that he is applying to the new company and the surprises and challenges that have come during his second stint at entrepreneurship. Show notes: 0:35: Michael Preysman, Founder, Everlane & Magna – Michael and Taste Radio editor Ray Latif chat about their respective philosophies on facial hair, whether the entrepreneur wears his own brand and why 1/11/11 is an important day in his life. Michael also discusses the origins of Magna and why he chose to create a beverage powder versus an RTD, creating authentic relationships with customers, his perspective on differentiation for both Everlane and Magna and why the latter's packaging draws inspiration from a cigarette brand. He also talks about content creation and the value of people in advertising, how he thinks about and implements a customer service strategy, why co-packing is trickier than he anticipated and how to identify and work with mentors.

In 2012, Ariel Kaye saw a tantalizing opportunity, but wasn't sure she was the one to seize it. She'd never started a brand and didn't think of herself as an entrepreneur, until she noticed how frustrating it was to buy bed linens in a big box store. Taking inspiration from Warby Parker and Everlane, Ariel quit her day job to launch a brand of DTC luxury sheets, made in Europe but exuding a California vibe, with photos of models lounging in semi-rumpled beds. As a solo founder, Ariel had to figure out everything herself, from manufacturing to supply chains to how to get through to investors. Today, Parachute Home offers a wide range of home goods and has expanded beyond its website to 26 physical stores across the U.S. This episode was produced by Chris Maccini with music by Ramtin Arablouei.Edited by Neva Grant, with research from Katherine Sypher.Our engineer was Josephine Nyounai.You can follow HIBT on Twitter & Instagram, and email us at hibt@id.wondery.com.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

When Michael Preysman founded Everlane, he knew nothing about fashion–he just wanted to see if he could build an online platform that would generate buzz around anything. He started with a cotton T-shirt, and taught himself every stage of production, from sourcing the fabric, to cutting, dyeing, and finishing. When Michael realized that some luxury brands charged as much as seven times the actual cost of a T-shirt, he decided to sell his for $15, and soon caused a stir by telling the world exactly what it cost to make. Eventually the brand shifted its focus to sustainability and social responsibility, a strategy that invited harsh criticism, especially during the Covid era. Today, Everlane is a multi-million dollar business that has expanded to sweaters, denim, outerwear, and accessories.This episode was produced by J.C.

This week on The BoF Podcast, Condé Nast Britain's chief business officer speaks with purpose and intuition coach Mory Fontanez about leading as an outsider in the modern workplace.Background:In 2017, Vanessa Kingori became British Vogue's first female publishing director. Since then, she has become a mother, received an MBE and stepped into the additional role of chief business officer of Condé Nast Britain.At BoF VOICES 2021, Kingori shared her leadership lessons with Mory Fontanez, purpose and intuition coach and founder of consultancy 822 Group. They discussed the importance of trusting intuition in the workplace to bolster data-driven decisions while also challenging conformity to allow for creativity.“With the wonderful thing that is hindsight, I've realised it's okay to be intuitive,” said Kingori. “It's actually great to lean into your differences rather than try to push to assimilate too much.”Key Insights: Throughout her life, Kingori has leaned into being a newcomer, “I think I've been extremely fortunate in that I have lived a life where I am used to being an outsider. I've been in an organisation now for over 12 years and in every single facet of my work at Condé Nast, I've been the outsider,” Kingori says. For Kingori, being different has not only been personally beneficial, but also forms part of her business philosophy. “I think conformity is the enemy of progress and creativity in business. It's completely strange that we're all sort of desperately trying to belong to a tribe, think the same, and all of those things.” Intuition is a cornerstone of Kingori's leadership philosophy. “Let your intuition be the starting point. Intuition is about a subconscious understanding of something, but that subconscious understanding comes from somewhere. It's not magic… It's that you have experienced or observed something that underpins a strong belief,” she says.BoF VOICES, our annual gathering for big thinkers, returns from Nov. 28 to Nov. 30, 2023. The entire event will be livestreamed for BoF Professional All-Access members.

In this episode of 5to9, I had a chat with Justin Bridges, a photographer, holistic financial coach, fractional CMO for tech startups, writer of the Growers newsletter, and a proud plant dad.Justin started his career as a Wall Street analyst at Goldman Sachs, and quickly realized that he disliked the culture and was craving to do something more creative. He then pivoted into fashion, working as a planner and buyer at Jcrew and Saks Fifth while pursuing fashion and lifestyle photography on the side. He then worked for an OG fashion blog, the Sartorialist, as a photographer, which took off his lifestyle fashion career, shooting for brands like Kith, Pyer Moss, GQ, Highsnobiety, and Everlane just to name a few. He is a also top instructor on Skillshare teaching photography and personal finance to over 150 thousand students. In 2021, he joined the team at El Camino Travel, a company that curates conscious, intimate group travel experiences for women as their co-founder and CMO. After leaving El Camino, he now runs a photography studio, is a fractional CMO for tech start-ups, writer of his newsletter Growers, and continues to tinker with many different projects.We talked about his ever-evolving creative career, theories on networking, why you shouldn't pursue your passion, a reframe of imposter syndrome, his policy of constantly trying something new, and more.This is Justin Bridges for 5to9.

Ash promised you something haunted this week after Alaina's three part deep dive into the Hillside Stranglers and boy did she pick a doozy.

We'll get into all that history, talk about some of the most known prisoners and then dive into the most haunted cell blocks that remain standing today!
