In our last episode, Curious City question-asker Emily Porter sent us on a quest exploring the world of local fashion designers, all after she found a thrift shop sweater with a tag that reads: “Maria Rodriguez Chicago.” Who is Maria Rodriguez? How did she get into the industry? And what is it like to be a fashion designer in Chicago? To answer those questions, we take a trip to the basement of the Chicago History Museum, where collection manager Jessica Pushor has archived several Maria Rodriguez ensembles and a case file of news clippings, photos and look books. We also stopped by El Nuevo Mexicano, a Mexican restaurant in Lakeview that Rodriguez now owns and operates, to get the story from the fashion designer herself.

Where culture meets conversation. From the latest in music and sports to unfiltered takes on current events, we keep it real, raw, and relevant. Hosted by voices that know the game, this is more than just a podcast—it's a lifestyle. Tune in, tap in, and stay heavy on the wrist.

A question about a sweater in a thrift store turns into a search for a prominent Chicago designer of the 1980s. Along the way, we discover the city's golden age of fashion designers.

The Stories – “The model to succeed is tough unless you are backed by a conglomerate, or LVMH.” “The place that was smaller, at that point, was Michael Kors. I interned there for two years. It was a dream. Michael Kors showed me how to be a boss – he was nice, kind, funny, and personable.” “My mother would require us to make dinner one night a week so we could learn some basic cooking.” “I wanted every recipe to have a photo. When I look at a cookbook and there's no photo representing a recipe, not only do I not know what that recipe's supposed to look like, I also feel like, this author must not think this is an important recipe.”The Backstory – “I sat at family dinner one night, when I was in the fifth grade, and made the announcement that I wanted to be a fashion designer.” “In 2006 I was working with two different design teams. It was crazy busy; I was fully in the mix. It was full minestrone!” “Cooking was something I'd been doing the whole time. When I was a fashion designer, I was always coming home and cooking, having dinner parties… it was something that kept my feet on the ground in what can be a crazy industry at times.”Wisdom Rains – “All the focus that began for me in the fifth grade, had turned into blinders. Then I allowed myself to have another dream.” “There's a point when you're on the diving board and you need to take that leap of faith, and know that hard work and some level of talent will yield a soft landing. Once you start doing something, your heart catches up with your mind.” “It's almost like the protein is the Little Black Dress. Now how do you accessorize it?"On Inspo – “Growing up in the Bay Area in San Francisco, in the 70's and 80's, it was a really amazing time for creativity and for self-expression, and I felt like I was in the right place at the right time.”On Tommy Hilfiger---“Tommy, as a person himself, was an amazing mentor, in terms of him really seeing that I had the potential.”On recipes and putting together his cookbook, Family Style – “I would wake up at 7, 8 in the morning and get to recipe testing. My refrigerator was a Jenga set from hell.” “Five Spice Chicken is one of those Tuesday meals that you can just throw into the oven.” “Knowing it was inspired by my heritage and Cantonese roots, I felt it would be amazing to find an Asian photographer; there's a common language and experience.”What Else – “I have a couple of things coming down the turnpike that are in the fashion world."Obsixed – a collection of Peter Som's current obsessions.Discover more + Shop The Podcast:petersom.comFamily Style: Elegant Everyday Recipes Inspired by Home and Heritage by Peter Som When The Going Was Good by Graydon Carter Todd Snyder Italian Wood Block Paisley Neckerchief Lipault luggageStan Smiths | navyRombauer ChardonnayLa Double J table linensAtelier Saucier table linensMatouk table linensDiscover the episode and more on storyandrain.comfollow @storyandraintalks and @storyandrain on Instagram follow @storyandraintalks and @storyandrain on Threadsall about the host

Tracy Christian is the founder and head designer for luxury plus size clothing line, Sante Grace. She'd been working in the entertainment industry for more than 20 years as an agent and usually had to create her own apparel for events like Cannes, Oscar parties etc. After designing her own wardrobe for so long she figured that there must be other plus size professional women in similar situations and created Sante Grace which launched during the pandemic in Los Angeles. The line is famous for its almost exclusive use of luxury textiles like cashmeres and silks (which is unusual for plus size clothing). https://www.facebook.com/SanteGraceOfficial https://www.instagram.com/santegrace/ https://www.tiktok.com/@santegrace https://santegrace.com/ Catch new episodes of the CayVin Universe every week on YouTube and all audio apps! |The Squanchy Show & Bonus content https://www.patreon.com/cayvin |Merch (CayVin.com) https://cayvinuniverse.square.site/

Welcome to our podcast where we discuss and deliberate over memoirs and biographies found in thrift shops. This is a great way to do things as we are not choosing who to read about. We may not be fans of the person, we may never have heard of the person and we never know who we are going to find next...There are only 2 rules to this podcast. The book has to be found in a thrift shop and we are not allowed to talk about the book until we press record, which is sometimes agonising.We have lots of episodes coming up so if you find yourself enjoying our podcast, please be sure to subscribe to be among the first to hear about each episode.

Welcome to episode 89! I am back from my podcast hiatus! I didn't mean to be away so long! And though I was absent from the podcast, if you follow me on socials and my newsletter, so many things have happened. It's been over a year, friends, where there was quite a bit of change in our household. It was a year of deadlines, a move this summer, and getting set up—it was a whole big thing, having to get used to new schedules, while trying to have balance. We all know how that's so hard.But I'm happy to be back, and hopefully will now be in a groove in which I can get some fantastic authors and creators into this virtual studio. I've have missed this space, missed connecting with other folks in this avenue.But to get down to business! I'm so excited to introduce Piper Huguley, where we discussed American Daughters. Piper G. Huguley's biographical historical fiction, By Her Own Design: a novel of Ann Lowe, Fashion Designer to the Social Register tells the inspiring story of the Black fashion designer of Jackie Kennedy's wedding dress. By Her Own Design was a Booklist top 100 Editor's Choice selection for 2022, was named one of the top 100 books of 2022 in Canada by the Globe and Mail newspaper and was selected as the historical fiction winner for 2022 by the American Library Association's Reading Council.She is also the author of Sweet Tea, a contemporary romance about food and history (of course) and the author of two historical romance series: “Migrations of the Heart”, about the Great Migration and “Home to Milford College”. Her next historical fiction book, American Daughters (2024), is the story of the decades-long interracial friendship between Alice Roosevelt and Portia Washington, the rebel teenage daughters of President Theodore Roosevelt and Booker T. Washington, respectively. She is a literature professor at Clark-Atlanta University and blogs about the history behind her novels at http://piperhuguley.com . She lives in Atlanta, Georgia with her husband and son. In this conversation, we discussed the idea of a  “way” into a story and Piper's research process. We talked about historical women and their passions and Piper's thoughts about historical accuracy. Finally, she talked about who of the two characters she endeared to the most.***Preorder LETTERS FROM THE TRAIL, out on February 25, 2025Note: some links are affiliate linksContact Tif at tif@tifmarcelo.comPlease check out her website for podcast submissions
