On this week's episode of Fashion Originators, I'm sharing my top fashion career and life goals for 2020, and how I'm rebalancing my routine.  Resources:  Book -https://www.amazon.co.uk/Thinking-Fast-Slow-Daniel-Kahneman/dp/0141033576 health podcasts: Doctor's Kitchen The Food Medic  Thrive Global Podcast To keep up-to-date with everything Fashion Originators: For podcast updates - www.fashionoriginators.com  For Instagram fun - www.instagram.com/fashionoriginatorspodcast For Facebook updates - www.facebook.com/fashionoriginators Thank you so much for listening!

Happy 2020! This week, I have the joy of chatting to two of my favourite social media creators in the London fashion scene who not only make me laugh my ass off, but also help me think about the deeper systemic issues going on in our industry. These two people are @skipdin and @trash4gold. @skipdin, AKA George Serventi, is an Instagram fashion critic who commentates on the industry for the likes of LOVE magazine and SHOWstudio. His profile is filled with pointed memes and hilarious captions to match. @trash4gold AKA Chekii Harling, is the founder of TRASHmag -- a publication that highlights alternatives to fast fashion and the throwaway mindset towards clothing. Similar to George, Chekii also loves a great meme -- with a sustainable fashion twist, of course. On the side, she teams up with the likes of London Fashion Week and Fashion Roundtable to create content that sparks positive change. Follow:  @trash4gold @skipdin Have show feedback?

On the latest episode of Fashion Originators, I chat with Natalie Simond (founder of Amadeus Bijoux), Alice McAnulty (Lone Design Club), and Sophie Dunster (founder of Gung Ho London) in the Lone Design Club anti Black Friday pop up store. During our conversation, we explored the (rather ambiguous) question of what sustainable fashion really means, and how we can create better businesses (and be better shoppers).  Thank you so much to Lone Design Club for being an incredible venue for such an important conversation, and for bringing creators like Sophie, Nathalie, Alice and myself together. I was so humbled by my audience for their incredible questions, attention and turn out. Thank you to my producer Tom Duncan for making sure everything recorded properly, and to Amanda from LDC for her kindness and help!  Follow everyone:  Amadeus Bijoux Gung Ho London Alice McAnulty / Lone Design Club Producer: Tom Duncan To keep up-to-date with everything Fashion Originators: For podcast updates - www.fashionoriginators.com  For Instagram fun - www.instagram.com/fashionoriginatorspodcast For Facebook updates - www.facebook.com/fashionoriginators Thank you so much for listening!

On the latest podcast, I share my philosophy behind Fashion Originators, why it exists, and what it takes to become a guest. I am so humbled by the brilliant insights of everyone I speak with. I hope that this episode helps you -- whether you're trying to find your path to changing the industry (I know I am), or you just need some more PR (DIY PR is an episode coming very soon -- don't worry).  If you want to contribute to the Fashion Originator Manifesto, send me an email with your thoughts and I'll add you to it: stephanieirwin@fashionoriginators.com.  Episodes referenced:  Lululemon Patrick McDowell  Higher.Studio  Lara Intimates  Classles Shaunie Brett Also....

This week, I have the joy of speaking with Shaunie Brett; a sustainable fashion business consultant and Cambridge masters student. Despite her thriving career as a stylist for the likes of LOVE magazine, Burberry, and menswear start-up Thread, Shaunie knew something wasn't right in her life. Realizing this feeling was derived from a form of clothing addiction (let's be real -- we've all been there), Shaunie decided to not buy ANY new clothes for a year, her #nonewclothes challenge being featured publicly in the Evening Standard.  Presently, Shaunie has not only gone one year without shopping, but she has also freed herself of anxiety, and transformed her fashion career into one that aligns with her new lifestyle. On the show today, Shaunie shares her advice on how you can build a fashion career that feels authentic to you, and how shopping less is actually easier than you think.  Follow Shaunie:  Instagram - @shauniemaker Website - Sussed Consulting Recommended Media:  The Book of Dust Cherry Wardrobe Crisis Podcast Also....

This week I am thrilled to announce that I will be doing a live podcast event in collaboration with the Lone Design Club the evening of Nov. 26th in Shoreditch, London.  During the talk, I will be interviewing panelists on 'What sustainable fashion really means?' Whether you're starting a brand, already have one, or just want to shop more consciously, this is THE event for you! There will even be a Q&A at the end where you just might end up on the podcast yourself!

This week, I have the pleasure of interviewing Natalie Grogan the founder of ALL EYES, a fashion trend forecasting and consultancy company based right here in East London! While there are a lot of agencies in London, what makes ALL EYES different is their focus on scouting trends at ‘street level’ and sharing this knowledge, professionals from the likes of ASOS giving her business rave reviews. Alongside ALL EYES, Natalie also does freelance design work, helping brands build and execute their visual identity.

This week, I have Eshita Kabra-Davies, the founder of By Rotation as this week’s guest! By Rotation is a mobile app that is changing the way we consume fashion through allowing users to share their wardrobes -- think Airbnb for mid to high end fashion. Through using the platform, users decrease waste, increase closet-space, bring in passive income, and join a community of like-minded girls who love fashion just as much as they’re worried about the planet.  On the show, Eshita shares the journey to building By Rotation, and how she envisions the future of ‘circular fashion’.

On the latest edition of #FashionOGNews, I have a special guest -- Callum Bramley, the European rep for Streamoid technologies. Streamoid is a fashion technology platform that offers a suite of technology services to fashion Ecommerce companies (visual search services etc). Background-wise, Callum has a degree in robotics, and recently won the Young Engineer of the Year Award at the British Engineering Excellence Awards 2018.  During the episode, we chatted about stories ranging from Youtube's new fashion platform, to Snapchat's new $400 'Snapchat Spectacles.'

Dream of acquiring a hard-to-find Saint Laurent at a sample sale in Paris? Your DREAM Valentino’s in Italy? This week, I have the joy of interviewing Lisa Omeleh, THE person who can make it all happen. Lisa is the founder of Classles — a members-only service providing exclusive access to designer sample sales from all over the world. For those who don’t know, sample sales are physical sales by designers held in a warehouse usually, for a couple of days ft. off-season / excess or damaged stock for crazy-good discounts. On today’s episode, Lisa will be sharing the journey that lead to building Classles, her insights on the personal shopping / off-price space, and what the future of personal shopping and sample sales will look like.

On the latest edition of #FashionOGNews, I have a special guest -- Kira Matthews of the Bold, Brilliant and Broke podcast. While I usually discuss fashion news stories solo, I decided to trial having a guest discuss them with me. Honestly, this is one of my favourite episodes. Not only does Kira have a unique perspective (she's a styling assistant to some big names and has a podcast of her own), but it made recording the episode even more fun!  During the episode, topics ranged from fashion brand chat bots and sustainable Zara, to why shoppable Love Island is a problem we should all be discussing!  Follow Kira:  Bold, Brilliant and Broke Podcast Her Instagram, @kirathebold As always, I hope you guys enjoy the news update and all the stories I hand-picked this week!

Welcome to the first episode of season 3! In this week's episode of Fashion Originators, I sat down with Pavel Dler — the brains behind Culted. Culted is a video content platform featuring the coolest creative voices in fashion (Patrick McDowell, Harris Reed, Sangiev, Simone Murphy — to name a view), ALL discussing fashion news and trends. I met Pavel earlier this year through Instagram — we had a great coffee / vino meeting where we discussed our favourite fashion content, the future of fashion content, AND what pisses us off about fashion media today. Ever since we had that chat, I’ve been wanting to replicate it in a way — not only so you guys can hear it, but also because CULTED has finally launched (and it wasn’t even out back then). Enjoy!

Whether it’s digital-inspired, or literally digital, clothing, last week’s fashion business news was all about technology and the democratization of style.

I review the thrifted record "I Love Rock N Roll" by Joan Jett and the Blackhearts I got for .93 cents and talk upcoming podcast events.

On the latest episode of Fashion Originators, I have the joy of interviewing Patrick McDowell, who, as aptly put by L’Officiel Magazine, is the ‘CSM graduate already dressing the stars.’ While that is very true (the likes of Rita Ora, M.I.A and Slick Woods on the cover of Elle UK serve as evidence), Patrick’s brand and vision go far beyond straight-up glamour. During his placement year at Burberry, Patrick learned that Burberry only used 30% of their sampling fabric. After writing Christopher Bailey a letter, Patrick was given off-cut fabric to use for his graduate collection. Entitled ‘Climbing Family’ the collection is a juxtaposition of hypermasculine climbingwear against his ‘Liverpool glam’ roots.  Recommended Media:  Clare Press book, podcast  Charles Jeffrey Loverboy  Patrick on BBC's Young Apprentice Patrick's graduate collection  Follow Patrick:  Instagram, website  To keep up-to-date with everything Fashion Originators: For podcast updates - www.fashionoriginators.com  For Instagram fun - www.instagram.com/fashionoriginatorspodcast For Facebook updates - www.facebook.com/fashionoriginators Thank you so much for listening!

This week, I have the joy of chatting with Susannah Davda, Director of “The Shoe Consultant” – a footwear fashion business consulting service for startup and established footwear brands. With over 20-years experience in the footwear fashion industry, working for brands such as Dr. Martens, Susannah is your go-to for all things shoe. If you’ve been a long-time listener, then you probably know that I have a bit of a thing for fashion footwear (sneakers in particular). For this week’s episode, I am going to not only quiz Susannah about her company and her background, but I’ll also be quizzing her on how you (or potentially me) could start a fashion footwear business.

 On episode #20 of Fashion Originators, I chatted with Dessy Tsolova, the founder of Utelier – a platform where you can make your fashion designer dreams a reality. While most people want to start a brand, the ‘how’ can often be difficult. Where can I get my stuff produced? What materials? Where are these materials? What is a line sheet? A sample set? Do I really need 5 sample sets of the same t-shirt? Really, there are too many questions. Recognizing this problem, Dessy created Utelier -- YOUR directory, marketplace and education resource for all things fashion production. With a background working for companies like Burberry, and heading up Product Design and Development at Smythson for over 6-years, it’s safe to say that Dessy is your go-to for all things fashion production. On the episode, Dessy and I focus on her founding story, and the aspects of fashion production most people don't know about. I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed doing it!

On episode #19 of Fashion Originators, I had the pleasure of speaking with Charlotte Garnett, a London-based, CSM-taught fashion jewelry designer. After creating her 2015 graduate collection, ‘Cure for the Itch’ – which explores the subject of soothing anxiety’, Charlotte then completed A 2-year residency at Sarabande: The Lee Alexander McQueen Foundation. At the foundation, Charlotte further developed her kinetic jewelry concept under the mentorship of Shaun Leane -- McQueen's head jeweller.

On episode #17 of Fashion Originators, I chat with Laurie Truman, the founder of Denude magazine. London-based, Denude is an indie magazine aimed at women who want honest, intelligent and thoughtful fashion and culture content. To do this, Denude focuses on intelligent women with unique perspectives, all while promoting the concept of ‘slow fashion.’ For those of you who don’t know (I myself didn’t know before doing research for this episode), ‘slow fashion’ , as put by Alessandro Michele, is a resistance to ‘the mantra of speed that violently leads to losing oneself’ or the seeming ‘something new at any cost’ mantra within the fashion industry. Think: resistance to fast fashion, throw-away trends and sweatshop labour. On the episode, Laurie and I discuss the future of fashion media and why the industry needs to SLOW DOWN.

On episode #16 of Fashion Originators, I chat with Eshe Mitchell, recent Coventry University Fashion and Costume Graduate behind her namesake brand. Recently debuting her “Mixed Me” collection at Freerange Exhibition (Brick Lane), which combines a love of streetwear with her Nigerian heritage, the pieces are colourful, cool and unique – yet actually quite wearable.

Starting her blog as a hobby after university, blogging has since become Elvira’s full-time job. Featuring ‘how to’ driven posts on ‘bad fashion’ and ‘bad advice’, Elvira’s content is driven by the idea that we're all perfectly imperfect (and badass too).

In addition to overseeing the Student Enterprise Challenge – which was won by Lara Intimates AKA Cindy from episode 9 – Tim also supports students in-curriculum, and with business support workshops for SET contestants. Although Tim isn’t the founder of a niche fashion business, he is an expert on them, and I believe his insights will be a real asset to the Fashion Originators community.

For £90/month, you can borrow up to 3 items at a time, and swap out items whenever you want. Featuring fashion designers ranging from Westwood and Margiela to up-and-coming labels like Phoebe English, Arnold gives subscribers access to a library of curated designer pieces – without the guilt (or debt) acquired from actually buying them.

On episode #10 of Fashion Originators, I spoke with Megan Sullivan -- the founder of luxury post-mastectomy fashion brand, With Grace B. Bold. After Megan’s mother was diagnosed with stage III breast cancer, Megan became inspired to combine her fashion design background with her desire to improve the lives of breast cancer patients and survivors. Post-mastectomy, women often struggle to find stylish and comfortable clothing. To solve this struggle, Megan developed two tops: “The Ann-Elizabeth” and “The Eileen." Both are luxurious wrap-tops, but the Ann-Elizabeth also features a container for the mastectomy drainage system. On the episode, we chatted about the art of building a niche fashion brand with a deeper purpose. I hope you enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed speaking with Megan. Regardless of your endeavour, I hope Megan's insights on catering to a market need inspire you. Book recommended: "Grace not perfection" - http://amzn.to/2i1qKU1 To learn more about With Grace B.

On episode #9 of Fashion Originators, I chat with Cindy Liberman -- one of the founders behind sustainable lingerie brand Lara Intimates. Lara Intimates not only make their bras here in London (with employees paid a living-wage), but the garments themselves are also made with industry off-cut fabrics. Unlike most lingerie fashion brands, Lara Intimates offer a wide range of sizes (28A to 36E), and focus every aspect of their business on creating 'a product with better values that women actually want to wear.' On the episode, I speak with Cindy about founding Lara Intimates with London College of Fashion classmate Faith Leeves, how to build a sustainable fashion brand, and why the lingerie industry needs to change NOW.

On episode #8 of Fashion Originators, I chat with Hugo Taylor and Charlie Morris, the founders of Taylor-Morris eyewear. Although you may know Hugo Taylor from British reality show Made in Chelsea, he's actually known for a lot more than that. After building a mutual affinity for eyewear with his best friend, Charlie Morris, they decided to start a brand together -- Taylor-Morris. On the episode, I quiz the boys on their founding story (hint: it involves a villa in Ibiza and a Harvey Nichols buyer who loves The Smiths), knowing 'nothing' about business, and the future of eyewear.

On episode #7 of Fashion Originators, I chatted with Urenna Okonkwo, the founder of soon-to-be-released fashion app "Cashmere." After discovering a pair of dreamy Christian Louboutin heels with a not-so-dreamy price tag, Urenna devised "Cashmere" -- a luxury savings app. Through Cashmere, Urenna lets users set a monthly savings plan, which transfers small amounts of money to a secure "luxury savings" account. On the episode, Urenna and I discuss: starting an app 101, the future of millennial spending, and why Cashmere should be right next to Instagram on your phone.

On episode #6 of Fashion Originators, I chatted with Jo Boon, the founder of body positive student fashion show -- and now company -- LABEL. Although LABEL initially started as a body positive fashion show at the University of St Andrews, it has since morphed into a multidimensional brand (encompassing art events, a magazine, merchandise etc). During out chat, we reminisce about our time at St Andrews (we're both alumni), the future of the body positive fashion business, and of course -- what Jo has planned next.

On episode #5 of Fashion Originators, I chatted with Chloe Marlow, the founder of fashion brand Marlow London. After realizing that all her friends at Central Saint Martins wanted to buy her final-year project, Chloe knew she was onto something. Combining her love of luxury with a great sense of humour (and a little sprinkle of law of attraction), Chloe brought her line of laser cut totes and cheeky scarves to life. In the episode, we discuss a wide range of topics: - The early days of founding a brand - Dealing with suppliers and manufacturing - Devising a cohesive brand concept - Mindset - Building relationships with influencers / celebrities I hope you enjoy the show as much as I enjoyed speaking with Chloe.

For episode #4 of Fashion Originators, I had the privilege of speaking to the founders of fashion brand LNDR, Sarah Donnelly and Donna Harris. Founded by Sara Donnelly, Donna Harris and Joanna Turner, LNDR is THE high-performance lifestyle brand for chic women on-the-go. Stocked by the likes of Net-a-Porter, Matches Fashion, Selfridges Body Studio and Harvey Nichols, it’s safe to say that it’s a favourite amongst the luxury set [like Gigi Hadid, Toni Garn, Sophia Richie, Jasmine Saunders]. During the episode, we primarily discuss the art of growing your brand without losing momentum. Of all the originators I've met, the ladies behind LNDR have managed to not only grow quickly, but to also sustain and build on this growth. Thank you for listening!

For episode #3 of Fashion Originators, I had the pleasure of chatting with YouTuber Luke Meagher AKA HauteleMode. Luke is an 'originator' to me because no channel like his exists.
