This week on the Glossy Podcast, senior fashion reporter Danny Parisi and international reporter Zofia Zwieglinska break down the latest in luxury earnings, pricing shifts and political pushback. Later in the episode, Zwieglinska speaks with Vanessa Barboni Hallik, founder and CEO of sustainable luxury fashion brand Another Tomorrow, about the brand's physical retail expansion and its approach to digital product passports. Barboni Hallik also discussed brand opportunities to scale circularity, during a conversation about Earth Week. In this week's news segment, Parisi and Zwieglinska discuss Kering's first-quarter earnings, which painted a concerning picture, with overall revenue down 14% and Gucci plunging 25%. They talk about the vulnerability of conglomerates overly reliant on a single label and the way macroeconomic tension between the U.S. and China is complicating luxury's recovery.  In other news, Louis Vuitton quietly raised its U.S. prices by nearly 5%, a move likely linked to tariffs and growing production costs. And, amid the U.S. administration's ongoing efforts to dismantle DEI initiatives, major corporations and fashion brands are responding in different ways. While Target rolled back its diversity programs and saw 11 weeks of consecutive declines in foot traffic, companies like Levi's and Costco have stood firm on their initiatives — and in some cases, benefited from doing so. Stories mentioned in this episode Fashion Briefing: Fashion brands are feeling the immediate impact of plummeting international travel to the US Hermès price hike sets stage for American tourist boom in Europe Earth Week Activewear brands are scrambling to clean up in America's age of health anxiety Why brands like Blueland and Faherty are turning to sustainability activists for collaborations Beauty & Wellness Briefing: The sustainability roadblocks impacting top brands today

"Coaching can take so many forms, and nobody gets an A if you don't do it YOUR way.""Great things happen when you put pen to paper."Today's conversation with Jennifer Faherty, founder of Psych Paper, is a great example of how to make your coaching business work FOR YOU!Coaching is a skill set we can bring into anything and everything (even a positive psychology paper products brand!).There is no one-size-fits-all template. The way that you coach best may not even be invented yet! Think about that...Wherever you build your business, make sure it's somewhere (and with someone) you can PLAY and be well-supported in doing it your way. If you use someone else's cookie cutter or become successful in someone else's way, you'll essentially become good at being someone else, and will likely have to stop and recover at some point to find YOUR WAY. Why not just start there? Jennifer's story is a great example of what's possible. The sky's the limit!And because I know you want this...

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.

Jason Evans of SilverShark Media speaks to Anna Kahalekulu, owner & designer of Kūlua, a sustainable clothing store located in Makawao. In this podcast Anna explains the approach of Kūlua, her inspiration for opening the business, how the store keeps manufacturing on Maui, what gave her the confidence as an entrepreneur to take the business from an idea to a storefront, navigating through the pandemic in 2020 shortly after opening a store in Makawao, integrating culture and family in her designs, what it's like to see people wear her products, the importance of supporting Maui businesses, ways Kūlua has given back to the community, her advice for anyone looking to get into the fashion industry, what it was like to do a collaboration with popular fashion brand Faherty, and how people can find out more about Kūlua both online and in person. 

'We have this image of a reader being someone who's giving time and attention to our words... but online that doesn't happen.' Anna Faherty found out the hard way that there were no books to help her teach a course on 'digital storytelling' - so she had to write her own. And if you're trying to write a business book then much of what she tackles in it - writing for busy readers, structuring ideas, adding in details and taking out fluff - is relevant for you too.  Even if you're not writing a book, you'll learn a huge amount from this conversation about capturing and keeping attention online, and why AI stories are not the way forward for anyone who cares about social justice.  There's also a super-practical post-it tip and an extended discussion about Gregory Peck and leopards. You're welcome.

Ken Pilot interviews Alex and Mike Faherty, co-founders and leaders of eponymous apparel brand, Faherty for this episode of The Retail Pilot. Alex is a co-founder and CEO at Faherty. Prior to starting at Faherty, Alex spent over a decade in Investment Banking and Private Equity. Formerly a football player at Yale, Alex takes a coaching mentality in how he runs the business, knowing that so much of a brand's success is who makes up the team. When he has time, and isn't coaching T-ball, he likes to surf.Mike wrote his college essay about starting Faherty Brand, going on to major in Fashion Design at Washington University in St. Louis before spending a decade in New York's fashion industry. His passion is sourcing high-quality fabrics from around the world and developing innovative new ones himself. Mike loves playing basketball and finding off-the-beaten-track surf spots and restaurants. Key Highlights:1. Faherty has had a successful business with Australian tourists in the States, as the brand resonates well with English-speaking customers. They're planning to expand further, starting with a partner in Australia.2. Retail store growth is seen as a valuable way to capture customers, as it allows them to experience the brand in person and make a more significant commitment to the higher-priced products.3. The founders emphasize the authenticity of retail stores, as customers can't be deceived by appearances, and they have to genuinely like the products.4. Faherty is focused on finding unique, interesting locations for its retail stores, rather than following a cookie-cutter approach. They look for underserved areas with potential customers.5. Catalogs have been an important acquisition channel for Faherty since 2015. They are looking to evolve the catalog experience to stand out and feel more like a magazine or coffee table book.6. Faherty is shifting its approach to social media, aiming to create platform-specific content for various channels. They recognize the need to adapt to changing social media trends.7. The founders discuss their tech stack, highlighting platforms like Shopify for e-commerce and New Store for POS. They also use NetSuite for ERP and have implemented in-house tech solutions for design and development.8. Faherty is exploring how AI can enhance the customer experience, especially in terms of managing inbound and outbound communications efficiently.9. One of the challenges for Faherty is ensuring that as the brand grows, it still feels intimate and special to consumers, rather than becoming too corporate or generic.10. Mike emphasizes the importance of refining the sampling process using AI to ensure that only the most promising designs move forward, reducing sample expenses.

In episode 305, Kestrel welcomes Lisa Diegel, the Global Sustainability Director at Faherty, to the show. A family business, Faherty is focused on making high quality clothing. “They knew they wanted to do things differently and not follow that conventional way of take > make > waste in the fashion industry. They wanted to build a feel-good brand. And I think to do that, you need to be accountable and you need to take responsibility for the products you put out into the world.” -Lisa As we've explored on past episodes, the fashion industry has a deep history of appropriating and stealing ideas and designs. Our guest Manpreet Kaur Kalra, back on episode 203, said it so potently –  “Fashion has been built on appropriation — it has been built on basically, stealing designs and concepts from communities that have been historically marginalized, and basically, reframing them to be quote unquote minimalist or really ethnic or boho chic.” This week's guest (who is of First Nations heritage) works with a company that used to be one of those so-called appropriating offenders. And this is something they acknowledge blatantly on their website, stating – “For years, the fashion industry has exploited and appropriated Native prints — and for years, so did Faherty. Now that we know better, we must do better.” This is not something you typically see a fashion brand acknowledge in such an upfront way to their shoppers. It feels like an important and meaningful step forward in healing some of the extensive damage that comes from these extractive histories. You may be asking – what does *doing better* mean in practice to Faherty? To start, it means modeling a mutually beneficial relationship with Native and Indigenous artists, it means respecting ancestry, land, community and stories. And it means doing a lot of listening and a lot of learning. With the role of Global Sustainability Director, this week's guest has a lot on her plate – but she's also very tuned into the importance of slowing down in order to be able to continue doing this work.  Quotes & links from the conversation: “So, for me, the appeal really was working for a smaller family-run business. You know, I had been working for large corporations and parent companies for about 15 years. And I felt like in this role, I could build a strategy using the knowledge and the skills that I had acquired over the years, but also be able to be really involved. It's really nice to be able to Slack or text the cofounders and get an answer immediately without having to go through these corporate tiers of hierarchy and weeks or months of time to get approval on things. And then the cherry on top, as a Native person, as a person with this heritage, I was just so impressed by the Native initiatives and the storytelling that Faherty was doing around these initiates.” -Lisa (12:58) “In practice, it really starts from the very beginning — from the concept meeting — where the team sits down with some of our partners and really talks to them about what do these designs mean to them, what does it mean to their people, what are the stories behind them? And then, they really support how these artists want to be represented in our modern culture without sort of that stereotypical image that maybe a lot of people might think of when they see or hear of Native American culture. I think that is very special and unique.” -Lisa (15:50) “How To Work In Sustainability At A Fashion Brand", article in Fashionista that Kestrel mentions Climate Optimism, book by Zahra Biabani that Kestrel mentions Faherty's Native Initiatives  Second Wave, Faherty's new resale platform Faherty Website Follow Faherty on Instagram >
