Fashioncast®Episode #49, July 16, 2024Stacy Igel, Fashion's Queen of CollaborationListen closely fashionistas! On this episode we introduce you to “fashionpreneuer” extraordinaire Stacy Igel, Founder Boy Meets Girl apparel company and best-selling author of Embracing The Calm In The Chaos.   As Stacy says, she was interested in fashion while “still in the womb,” and her history since birth reinforces her prenatal yearning to build a career in fashion.  What makes this episode so appealing is that Igel is both a steadfast businessperson and a creative.  Born and raised in Chicago, Illinois, Igel made her mark as a hosiery salesperson when Marshall Fields hired her while still in the eighth grade!  She attended the University of Wisconsin-Madison where she tripled majored in design, merchandising, and retail.  She soon moved to New York City to learn the fashion business from the ground up, and in 2001 she launched the Boy Meets Girl apparel company.Whether interviewing Igel, or writing about her, one always is in high gear.  Igel is kind, intelligent, professional, and yes, humorous.  But more than anything else, Igel is full of positive energy, and constantly multitasking like the entrepreneur, designer, and mother you would expect!Fashioncast could have easily produced two episodes out of this interview, one focused on Igel's phenomenally successful company, Boy Meets Girl, and another on her equally successful book, Embracing The Calm In The Chaos. The book details Igel's fashion journey including the launch of her brand.We found Igel's interview full of one surprise after another.  This is after all, someone who has made her way in New York's fashion world through twenty years of grit and determination.  Boy Meets Girl sports a Who's Who list of collaborations with industry heavyweights from Bloomingdale's and Nordstrom to Bergdorf Goodman and the Chicago Bulls.  Igel has come a long way since dressing classmates in grade school!Of course, Fashioncast probed Igel about sustainability, the lack of a business curriculum in fashion colleges, and the big issues she believes are headwinds for the industry.  We are certain you will find Stacy Igel as energetic, knowledgeable, and entertaining as we did!Please enjoy the show!www.boymeetsgirlusa.com                www.stacyigel.comhttps://www.amazon.com/Embracing-Calm-Chaos-Perseverance-Collaboration/dp/140023493X

Fashioncast®Episode #47, February 15, 2024Gittemarie Johansen, The Global Guru of Sustainability Takes on Fast FashionHey Fashionistas!  On this episode we introduce you to sustainability educator, author, speaker, and YouTube sensation, Gittemarie Johansen. Smart, witty, and experienced, Gittemarie has been living and teaching the zero-waste lifestyle for a decade. It's fascinating to hear how Gittemarie stumbled into her career, found her passion, and has made her livelihood teaching the rest of us how to think and behave sustainably.  Even better, she walks the talk living as close to a zero-waste life as anyone you'll ever meet. Johansen is clearly an intellectual force on the topic of sustainability and has created her own unique definition for the word sustainable.  And, why not?The word has been so misused and diluted, especially by the fashion industry, it has no meaning.  For the record, Fashioncast agrees with the Gittemarie definition!Given Gittemarie's early background as a fashion influencer and reporter, it's rare for such an individual to transition to the sustainable movement, but that's what is so captivating about her story.  She hasn't simply done the research on this important industry topic, she's lived it!  And that kind of transformation brings an inner knowing that few can replicate.Johansen is brilliant in this interview as she verbally slays topics from greenwashing and sustainable designers to consumer overconsumption and worker rights.  It's a joy to hear one so experienced articulate fashion's many paradoxes but offer solutions too.  Johansen has indeed thought long on the big issues surrounding sustainability, and it shows.What we found so compelling is how Johansen answered a myriad of tough questions in such a thoughtful and precise way.  Her answer to what is most troubling about fast fashion is a perfect example when she stated without hesitation, “exploitation.”  There are so many things troubling about fast fashion, it may be difficult to list them all, but exploitation would be at the top.  Bravo Gittemarie!Lastly, we loved Gittemarie's interview so much, we are already working on her next visit!  Enjoy!www.gittemary.com@Gittemary

Episode #46, December 20, 2023Fern Mallis, A Fashion Legend Imparts Wit And Wisdom On Her Career And LifeOn this exclusive episode, you will hear from the Godmother of Fashion, Fern Mallis, as she describes the trials and tribulations of her early days to her current role as President of her own consulting company.Listening to Mallis reflect on her hard-earned wisdom about the industry is the equivalent to enjoying a ten-course meal.  Few, if any, know the depth and the breadth of the industry like Mallis, and her knowledge is genuinely on display during this interview.  Often, Mallis is on the other side of the microphone interviewing fashion icons such as Calvin Klein, Oscar de la Renta,  Donna Karan, Michael Kors, and Tommy Hilfiger to name a few.  But, as an interviewee on Fashioncast® she is equally professional, patient, witty, and intelligent.Mallis has a keen sense of what's needed and expected in the industry.  For example, as Executive Director, Council of Fashion Designers of America (1991-2001), she worked tirelessly to launch what is now known as New York Fashion Week. Her efforts to make the show successful and financially viable broke many of the known rules for fashion event planning including soliciting sponsorships, a practice today that is part of the event protocol.  You'll hear; however, Mallis is quick to credit all those who have been so instrumental in her career.  It's been a collective effort in managing and leading the industry to new heights.   When interviewing Fern Mallis, it's obvious that she loves the fashion industry.  She is in her zone, a comfortable, familiar, and creative zone. In fact, Mallis is so enthusiastic about her role, she can't help but attract others to her mission to support and build a better fashion industry.  That beautiful attitude has served her outside of the industry as well as she has co-founded, directed, and volunteered for multiple nonprofits applying her fashion experience and business expertise to help raise millions of dollars.  A legacy that nearly rivals her life in fashion.Interviewing Fern Mallis was an honor, and we sincerely believe you'll enjoy the notable advice and insight from the fashion legend.www.fernmallis.comwww.92ny.orgwww.cfda.comwww.nyfw.com

Fashioncast®Episode #44, August 29, 2023Graham Stewart, EVP, FIBRE52Whoa! Fashioncast listeners, on this episode you'll learn about the most innovative sustainable product for cotton bleaching and dying since the 12th century! International sustainable textile innovator and FIBRE52 Executive, Graham Stewart, joins the show and shares his vision for the company and the textile industry.  Stewart, a veteran of the textile industry since 1976, has held a variety of positions, but perhaps his most important contribution to the fashion industry has been his patent pending cotton bleaching and dying discovery FIBRE52.A textile and chemistry enthusiast from childhood, Graham grew up in the heart of textile manufacturing in northern England.  While the textile mills have moved offshore, the toxic caustic soda (sodium hydroxide) laden recipes remain in use around the globe.  This is where FIBRE52 enters the scene.  The process, invented by Stewart, is an environmentally friendly and inexpensive method designed to replace the traditional cotton bleaching and dying process on a global scale! FIBRE52 is a brilliant invention that utilizes natural products instead of conventional chemical heavy compounds while using less energy, less water, and less time—the perfect sustainable recipe!  In terms of circular fashion, FIBRE52 demonstrably helps lengthen and strengthen the life of garments for recycling/upcycling.While Stewart extols the virtues of the FIBRE52 for key user groups such as manufacturers, brands, and consumers, he does an equally masterful job of explaining the “inside baseball” of the global textile market.  Who leads the world in cotton production?What other companies are leading in sustainable textile manufacturing?  Is FIBRE52 open to collaboration?  Stewart answers these questions and still has time to gift invaluable advice to newcomers to the fashion industry! If we were handing out awards, FIBRE52 would easily win the Fashion Innovation Award of the Year!  Listen and judge for yourself.  Enjoy!www.fibre52.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/grahamrstewart

Fashioncast®Episode #36, October 14, 2021Sustainable Fashion Part I, Alex Penades, Jeanologia's Denim RevolutionFull disclosure--Fashioncast® loves Jeanologia!  In the annals of fashion, few companies have had such a positive impact on the industry and the environment as Jeanologia.  In the first of a four-part sustainable fashion series, Alex Penades, Brand Director North America Jeanologia, a proven leader in the global effort to drive sustainable fashion, joins the podcast to detail the company's history, process, and extraordinary growth. Given Jeanologia's progress over the past 27 years, it's little wonder Penades is so passionate about the mission of the company and the direction of the industry.  Incorporating Mission Zero, an initiative to eliminate all hazardous chemicals and water from the life process of jeans,  Jeanologia's technology now accounts for 1.75 billion jeans produced annually, a third of all jean production.While Jeanologia has made substantial progress in its “eco-war on denim,” notably in H2O reduction in the manufacturing process (one glass per pair of jeans), its culture serves as a model for the industry as well.  Jeanologia exemplifies growth objectives based on an important global environmental mission, and Alex Penades has been a key part of that success for the past nine years.However, not everybody in the denim industry has adopted the Jeanologia way…yet.  After all, this is the fashion industry, where change, even for the right reasons, isn't always embraced.  Nevertheless, in the ever-ubiquitous world of denim manufacturing, where five billion pairs of jeans are produced annually, it's refreshing to know the drive for change is coming from the inside out. It's fascinating to hear Penades speak about the serious environmental challenges of denim manufacturing, the company's cutting-edge technological breakthroughs, and plans to gain global industry consensus in the stewardship of the planet.  Indeed, Jeanologia provides much more than answers to sustainable denim manufacturing--it provides leadership.Lastly, Penades covers a broad array of questions from how some countries obsess over denim and others do not, to how Jeanologia would assist a hypothetical designer launching an organic jean company.  In the sustainable fashion movement, Jeanologia and its apostle, Alex Penades, are just what the planet ordered.  Enjoy!www.jeanologia.com@jeanologia#MISSIONZERO

Fashioncast®Episode #33, April 9, 2021Mark Pilkington,  Part II: A Retail Therapist’s Diagnosis of the Industry’s MaladiesHe’s back!  In the last half of a two-part series, Mark Pilkington, author of Retail Therapy--Why the Retail Industry is Broken--And What Can Be Done to Fix it, gets specific as he delves deep into exactly how to “fix” the retail industry.In Part I (Episode #30), Pilkington retraced how the global retail industry ended up in its unenviable position pre-COVID19, and where it currently stands amid the pandemic. In this episode, the author explains a myriad of retail strategies for brick-n-mortar retailers including “Lean Store,” “Brand Theater,” “Becoming the Conversation,” and “Virtuous Reality” among others.  It’s a refreshing departure from Part I in which the industry’s hubris was on display as the central excuse for its unparalleled demise. While Pilkington continues to be unapologetic in his criticism of the retail industry, he expresses authentic encouragement by its acceptance to “go with the flow” and speed the pace of change of both e-commerce and in-store experiences.  Take the “Lean Store” model on full display at Bonobos (now owned by Walmart).  It’s a perfect example of the future of brick-n-mortar retail in real-time. Customers use the physical store experience only to test products and make selections.  No stock other than the display is on hand.  Orders are placed in-store and sent to customers.  It’s still a personal experience for the customer, but less costly for both parties.If you get the impression Pilkington is seriously suggesting retailers get experiential, he’s sounding the alarm for them to build community and find an authentic mission.  The “retail bar” has been raised, mightily high.  Retail is a tough business.  A business in which consumers are informed, competition is continuous, and differentiation is critical.  Pilkington makes a convincing argument, both in the book and on the podcast, that retailers must offer more than products. Finally, Pilkington makes strong retorts for a host of other challenges facing the industry including government macro/microeconomic policies, lack of comprehensive retail education in institutions of higher learning, the rapid advance of artificial intelligence, and the transformation of retail entirely into branding.It’s another fact-packed episode of Fashioncast®!  Please enjoy!  You can buy Mark Pilkington’s book at the link below and see the author on a short retail video produced by The Economist attached. Retail Therapy: Why the Retail Industry is Broken – and What ...www.amazon.com › Retail-Therapy-Industry-Broken-...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ad-GuV6YIMI

If you are wondering how to navigate the ever-changing world of retail, where reports of mergers, closings, and bankruptcies are far too frequent, then you’ll appreciate Fashioncast’s® exclusive interview with Mark Pilkington, author of Retail Therapy--Why the Retail Industry is Broken--And What Can Be Done to Fix it. In Part I of this two part series, with no holds barred, Pilkington broadly explains exactly how the worldwide retail industry ended up “on the ropes” pre-COVID19, and where it stands now in the midst of the pandemic.  Although the author lives in England, interviewing Pilkington via Skype from Dubai, a region of the world he worked in as a retail executive for years, was fitting as his book intelligently covers the international scope of the retail industry.  Pilkington has earned his “retail stripes” with experience inside and outside the industry for decades and it shows.   Typical of Fashioncast® interviews, the conversation is wide-ranging but fashion focused.  In particular, the author details the retail industry’s culture, bureaucracy, and indifference to the explosion of online retailing that has forever changed retail and its impact on the world of fashion.  For fashion, the fallout is a montage of lower costs and deeper consumer relationships mixed with startling competition. While the economic pros and cons of a rapidly changing retail landscape continue to play themselves out, one thing is certain, the human toll is stunning.  Millions of job losses related to e-commerce and the broader technological revolution impacting retail on a global basis are problematic both short-term and long-term.  In addition, COVID19 has sped the pace of retail labor disruption exponentially. Lastly, when asked how one of the world’s premier retail consultants would launch their own retail company, Pilkington was quick to impart his wisdom.  The company would sell dominantly through the online channel, be mission-driven, deeply connected to its “community” (target market) and more personal in terms of rectifying errors and extending rewards or incentives.  By far, a mission-driven model seemed most important.  Amongst all the competitive e-commerce noise, a company must be able to authentically differentiate itself and touting a mission beyond profits is an attractive value proposition. Fashioncast® was honored to interview Mark Pilkington, and we eagerly look forward to Part II in the Spring of 2021.  Enjoy!

Diane Pernet is the definition of fashion royalty. Even in this era of COVID-19 induced social distancing, face masks and Zoom meetings, one is immediately struck by her grandeur. Her worldly intellect, her soft but confident voice, her disarming wit, and her ability to simply relate make Pernet semidivine. Beyond rank and poise, Pernet’s deliberate and unmistakable appearance, shrouded in black often wearing a mantilla-esque veil, rewards her as one of the most recognized fashion dignitaries in the world. A consummate creative, the multi-talented Pernet continually works on a plethora of on-going and new projects. Staying current in the rapidly changing world-of-fashion is no small feat. But, Pernet, an accomplished savvy business women, is seemingly everywhere at once while no detail goes unnoticed. Of all Pernet’s passions, few inspire her more than film. Pernet is considered one of the original pioneers of the fashion film genre. In 2008, her devotion to the craft led her to the creation and launch of the annual fashion film festival titled A Shaded View On Fashion Film (ASVOFF) www.ashadedviewonfashionfilm.com. This year will mark the observance of ASVOFF 12 and the film festival will air for the first time online on the FNL Network https://linktr.ee/fnlnetwork. Additionally, in response to COVID-19, Pernet is the creator behind Lockdown Home Movies. A total of 68 lockdown films were submitted to ASVOFF 12 and can be seen and voted on for the 2020 People’s Choice Awards on the FNL Network https://linktr.ee/fnlnetwork. Still, Pernet’s creative thirst goes unquenched. Not to have her career overshadowed by the “ordinary” pursuits of fashion design, fashion blogging, fashion film, et al., Pernet decided to launch a line of perfume in 2014, Diane Pernet Paris. The line began with four distinct scents and now has five including To Be Honest, Love Affair, In Pursuit of Magic, Shaded, and Wanted. It’s fascinating to hear Pernet describe her 30-year intrigue with the perfume industry before her eventual impulse to begin the arduous task of researching and building a perfume brand. https://www.averyperfumegallery.com/it/collections/perfume/brand_diane-pernet. Lastly, it’s both an exciting and challenging time to be part of the fashion industry. But, Pernet, a strong advocate of sustainable fashion, has some parting advice for designers in particular--begin with an ecological mindset. Given the environmental degradation directly sourced to the industry, significant change is long overdue, and sustainable fashion is the future of fashion. By-the-way, on a whim, Fashioncast facetiously asked Pernet when the world could expect her autobiography? Without missing a beat, Pernet affirmed a documentary film producer had already approached her more than once! It’s clear, there are more accolades to come for the First Lady of Fashion! Please enjoy the magnificent Diane Pernet. Diane Pernet @asvof; www.ashadedviewonfashion.com

From the western Prairie Province of Alberta, Canada, in the oil boom and bust city of Calgary, Lauryn Vaughn, Founder and CEO of The Upside, joins Fashioncast via Zoom to share her amazing story of online retail success. In 2015, against all odds, the smart and savvy super entrepreneur launched The Upside the old fashioned way--from her basement, and never looked back. Today, the business is the largest luxury online consignment retailer in the nation. Once you meet Lauryn Vaughn, you’ll know why. Vaughn is full of endless positive energy, articulate, knows the resale business, and most of all - she’s determined. At university, Vaughn was so resolute to become an intern for the great Canadian designer, Paul Hardy, when she finally met him and told him she was going to become his intern, he said, “Aah, okay, can you start in morning?” If listeners get the impression the scrappy and witty Vaughn manifests her reality in real-time, they’re correct. Fashioncast was spellbound listening to Vaughn describe her “aha” moment in Paris, France, the unending trials and tribulations of launching a business, and about The Upside’s ever-evolving multifaceted mission. For Vaugh, The Upside is more than just a challenging way to generate revenues and income. The business empowers women through “chic fashion on a budget,” and is the best example of sustainability driving circular fashion. One simply can’t help knowing Vaughn is the perfect definition of a role model for women across Canada and the world. While Vaughn’s personal strength may be will power, her business acumen is on display as she explains the global luxury resale market. Like many entrepreneurs, Vaughn lives her business and it’s fascinating to hear her detail the differences between The Upside and mega competitors such as The RealReal and The Luxury Closet. Vaughn’s vast market knowledge is a testament to her leadership. And, despite a recession in Calgary’s oil fields and a worldwide pandemic, The Upside continues to dominate Canada’s luxury resale online space and expand. Lastly, when asked who she would like to meet in the fashion industry, Vaughn mentioned she would have liked to have met Karl Lagerfeld, but then, without hesitation, the entrepreneur admitted she’d really love to meet Julie Wainwright, the founder of The RealReal!

From her 18th century apartment in Paris, France, internationally acclaimed photographer, Iris Brosch, the impassioned articulate intellectual of art imagery, joins Fashioncast via Skype to share her multifaceted photography experience in the world-of-fashion. Brosch, the German-born photographer and filmmaker, specializing in fashion, nudes, art, and performance art, has been shaped by both the German and Italian Renaissance periods. Her portraits are instantly recognizable as they clearly show Brosch’s reach for artistic expression and spirit. In addition, her work is celebrated for giving more strength and dignity to the female image and feminist ideals. It’s fascinating to hear Brosch’s story of struggle from her early years to maturation as an industry icon. Through it all, the humble creative credits not only hard work but astute timing, acceptance and key mentorships. In addition to her own career challenges, Brosch, a long-time devout feminist, details the ongoing struggle for women to find standing within the industry. Her accounting of the barriers for women such as photographer Annie Leibovitz is stunning. For Brosch, the feminist ideology is firm but more about equality and inclusiveness than antipatriarchal. It’s tragic irony, however, after countless media reports confirming widespread inequality in an industry catering to female customers and dominated by female employees, financial and managerial control still decidedly rests with men. Beyond feminism, Brosch’s extensive international fashion experience allows her to answer any question regarding fashion and art in an informed manner. Listeners will hear Brosch’s views about the diminishing role of art in fashion, the rapid changes taking place in fashion photography and the shift towards fashion videos. Brosch, the consummate artist, forever advocates for creatives. For her, being creative is about a lack of fear, taking risks, and keeping overlords out of the equation. And, according to Brosch, it’s also why creatives will always spearhead the direction of the industry and the future of fashion imagery. Lastly, listeners will be inspired by Brosch’s reaction to the COVID-19 pandemic as she explains the importance of embracing the arts in times of tragedy and awed by her selection of whom to photograph if she could photograph any person in recorded history. Please enjoy this interview with artist, activist, and all-around beautiful human being, Iris Brosch! Website http://www.irisbrosch.com Instagram @irisbrosch Facebook @irisbrosch

From Flint, Michigan, under a continued COVID-19 quarantine, Ali Rose VanOverbeke, Founder and CEO at Genusee, the first circular economy eyewear brand, joins Fashioncast via Zoom to share her inspirational and motivational story of struggle, renewal, and awakening in her quest to build a company that matters. There’s no denying Ali VanOverbeke is on a mission. The Parsons School of Design graduate began planning her fashion career in the second grade and set her sights on Parsons in the fourth grade! Innovative, intelligent, visionary, and driven, the articulate VanOverbeke leaves the audience spellbound after detailing her time spent in the design trenches of New York’s ultra-competitive fashion world before a short sabbatical and finding karma in India. Ali’s story as a creative is as much about finding herself, and her role in the world, as it is about art and fashion. In 2016, after elevated levels of lead were confirmed in Flint, Michigan’s drinking water, both state and federal emergencies were declared. Notably, this is when the story takes a major turn, not only for VanOverbeke and for Flint, but likely for the future of fashion. On an unplanned and voluntary mission working with the American Red Cross delivering water to Flint residences, Ali’s genesis of Genusee takes place and her “calling” is absolute. Genusee is the most unique and compelling fashion fable we’ve encountered. If you’re not awed by its multifaceted missions regarding job creation for Flint’s structurally unemployed, or its manufacturing of sustainable eyewear from single-use water bottles, then surely, you’ll be awed by its product design and quality. While many of the principal fashion brands adopt social and sustainability policies and dole out checks of solidarity, upstart Genusee “walks the talk” and is defining a new and refreshing standard in the fashion industry. But, setting new standards is hard work and VanOverbeke seems to be pushing all boundaries at once. For example, the maverick manufacturer is justifiably critical of America’s recycling industry. Imagine, according to the EPA (2017 latest data), 75.8% of all plastic material generated in the U.S. Municipal Solid Waste stream was sent to landfills! Clearly, there’s much work to be done. Lastly, Ali briefly discusses the future of Genusee, the current importance of Instagram as the marketing tool of choice, utterly downplays the role of influencers and shares her hard-earned business acumen with those contemplating a career in fashion or entrepreneurship. Ali VanOverbeke is living Genusee’s motto–“Be the change you want to see.” Bravo!! On the web: Genusee.com On Instagram: @genusee_official

From Paris, France, under a COVID-19 quarantine, the fashion photography artist couple Mia Macfarlane and Julien Crouigneau join Fashioncast via Skype to share their amazing careers as art photography creatives living in the fashion capital of the world. The couple describes themselves as “self-taught” fashion art photographers, but don’t be fooled, they are both highly educated artists who happen to love photography and are clearly two of the most creative people we have ever had the pleasure to interview (see links to their work below). Combining their diverse and extensive backgrounds, in 2012, they launched French Cowboy a photography and art direction company. Then, in 2015, they founded IRK magazine as part of a nonprofit association titled IRK which promotes artists, fashion designers, photographers, filmmakers, and other creatives. The magazine, published daily online and bi-annually in print, has been an enormous success and lives up to its tagline, “IRK Magazine is here to rattle the every day!” Think fashion-forward, boundary-pushing art, edgy without apology, and photographic brilliance and you have IRK. But, it’s not just IRK where these two are redefining art photography, it’s in fashion film too. Through French Cowboy, they are methodically paving the way towards fashion films. Short film and video are the future of fashion imagery and the trailblazing creative couple are at the forefront of the artistic revolution. This podcast is one of those rare episodes where each time you listen, you learn something new. It’s mesmerizing to hear Macfarlane and Crouigneau detail their photoshoot with Jean Paul Gaultier, the famous French fashion designer. And, equally thought-provoking to hear their description of the cultural fashion differences between America and France. Lastly, we also delve into how the disastrous and tragic COVID-19 pandemic has affected the couple’s business. Like everyone else, they remain quarantined but hopeful the virus will taper off soon. The fashion industry, however, has been decimated and is unlikely to rebound quickly. Still, Mia and Julien remain positive, confident and stoic and have a myriad of projects waiting for completion including a future photoshoot in Ghana! How else would you build a legacy?

In the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, Thomas Werner, renowned international fashion photographer, author, professor, and consultant calmly and dutifully made it to the Fashioncast studio and delivered one of the most compelling and entertaining podcasts to date. In this amazing episode, Werner weaves a dramatic and authentic narrative to his rise in the world-of-fashion and gives new meaning to the word perseverance! He’s been through lean times, had great success and is clearly comfortable with his current myriad of fashion endeavors. In fact, his curriculum vitae is 24 pages! Knowing that fact alone is worth the listen. Werner’s depth and breadth of experience in fashion photography is so voluminous he wrote the definitive book on the subject, The Fashion Image, which has received rave reviews and been sold widely on an international basis (Christine and Michael were sure to receive a signed copy!). But, authorship is just the tip of the iceberg for Werner. Listen as he effortlessly details the important artistic role photography plays in the fashion industry and describes the future of photographic technologies such as Instagram and video, and how varying countries embrace or suppress image technology. Werner also discusses The Thomas Werner Projects, one of the most innovative and internationally collaborative art and education sharing programs on the planet! The Projects story is fascinating and centers around Russia and China and demonstrates the power of intellect, political determinism, and the art-of-fashion to assist in the education of creatives eager to simply participate and learn about artistic expression. Lastly, while Werner’s photos capture the essence of fashion through images, he’s also a pragmatist. His grasp of the interdependence between fashion and photography is only surpassed by his knowledge about the business of fashion. In one of the largest and most competitive businesses in the world, artists, especially photographers, need to know their niche and deserve to earn a living. Fashioncast was honored to host one of the most notable fashion photographers in the industry, and more importantly, an all-around great human being. Enjoy!

Listen up Fashioncast fans, court is in session!  Whether you’re steeped in the fashion industry’s legal jargon or not, this week’s guest, Andrea Arndt, Patent Attorney at Dickinson Wright, informs and demonstrates why anybody in the fashion industry with something to protect should get their legal house in order.   Arndt, with degrees in biomedical engineering, computer engineering, and law is registered to practice before the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and specializes in foreign patent prosecution and intellectual property law in the fashion industry.  She brings all her background and experience to listeners as she explains the difference between patents, trademarks, and copyright and details the risks of not protecting your intellectual property (IP). Arndt knows her field and proves it as she and the Fashioncast hosts dig deep into recent case law including Versace v Fashion Nova and the industry changing Supreme Court copyright ruling on Star Athletica v Varsity Brands.  In addition, Arndt dissects the multi-million dollar Burberry v Target knock-off scarf case that was ultimately settled out-of-court (see case links below). The ever witty and energetic Arndt also has plenty of free legal advice for would be designers and fashion entrepreneurs including expected legal fees to protect IP, adding legal costs to startup budgets, and never allowing IP infringement to go unchallenged. Finally, Arndt also touches on international IP law including protection(s) to online retailers, where designers should focus their resources to maximize IP safeguards, and the lack of international fashion industry leadership on mitigation and binding arbitration. It’s a fast-paced show with a legal fashion industry expert that will leave Fashioncast listeners more educated, informed, and equipped to protect their fashion creations. For now, court adjourned.  Enjoy! https://www.dickinson-wright.com/our-people/andrea-I-arndt?tab=0 https://www.thefashionlaw.com/home/fashion-nova-responds-to-versace-lawsuit-with-32-defenses-2-countercliams-and-a-vow-to-fight https://www.nolo.com/legal-updates/supreme-court-rules-that-garment-design-elements-are-copyrightable.html https://www.khuranaandkhurana.com/2018/05/22/fashion-and-trademarks-the-clothing-controversy/

Fashioncast fans, we can’t say enough about Nicole Jarecz a young and extremely talented artist with an old soul for fashion illustration.  It’s a fascinating interview with Nicole as she delves deep into her experience as an artist including her early years, her education at the College for Creative Studies (CCS), and her “lucky” but unusual path into fashion illustration. Nicole is a busy woman raising two young daughters and working from home.  Nevertheless, she’s found time to illustrate. After ten years as a fashion illustrator, Nicole has completed work for a Who’s Who in the fashion world including Marie Claire, Glamour, Madame Figaro, Macy’s, Lord & Taylor, Neiman Marcus, and Hugo Boss just to name a few!  In addition, she’s in high demand to sketch at many fashion openings and exhibitions in and around the Detroit area. In this interview, you’ll discover new information about the use of fashion illustration in marketing versus photography, how to leverage a niche vocation, and the importance of pursuing your passion.  As Nicole mentions, given the technological advances in photography and design, fashion illustration is a dying art. But, with creative talent like Nicole’s, we can all experience fashion through a different form of art. Please find Nicole on Instagram at nicolejareczillustraion and her website to share the experience and beauty of her incredible work.  Enjoy!

The Director of the new Detroit Fashion Community (DFC), Elizabeth Kincaid, is in the studio this week Fashioncast fans and she’s making headlines about the launch of the organization. While careful not to reveal too much before the official launch date, January 1, 2020, Elizabeth tells us plenty about DFC’s mission, objectives, and partner collaborators. Detroit Fashion Community’s Founder and President, Latrice Delgado-Macon, who has been a guest on Fashioncast several times, is the creative energy behind the organization. Together with Latrice and a dedicated board, Elizabeth will orchestrate day-to-day activities and help build the outreach and collaborative partnerships that will be instrumental in making Detroit a fashion destination. In addition to news about the DFC, Christine and Mike manage to tease out Elizabeth’s own background and experience in the fashion industry including how her Native American lineage has provided her inspiration for her own new business starting sometime in 2020. It’s a fascinating personal story with deep roots in West Virginia that winds its way to Detroit. We find out how, and along the way, we also discuss Elizabeth’s degree and work in psychology and the new role psychology is playing in fashion education. Of course, Mike asks a predictable sustainability question or two to wrap up the show. Whew! So much discussed about different areas of the industry on this show, we’re certain your weekly fashion update will be complete. Enjoy!

In one of the most inspirational and moving interviews you’ll ever hear, Mary Alice Stephenson, GLAM4GOOD Founder and the official “Mother Teresa of Fashion,” teams with Patrick Shaner, U.S. Communications Expansion Specialist at H&M, to give back to poverty-stricken children in Detroit. From the first question to the last, Mary Alice, a salt-of-the-earth person and part of the “Who’s Who” in the world-of-fashion passionately explains the genesis of GLAM4GOOD, the foundation’s mission, strategic collaboration with key fashion partners, and her special relationship with H&M. Listen as Mary Alice brings those in the studio to tears describing how GLAM4GOOD assists in providing clothing to a multitude of individuals in need from natural disaster survivors, injured veterans, and those caught in the cycle-of-poverty, to victims of domestic violence. However, as Mary Alice can personally attest, managing a nonprofit like GLAM4GOOD requires an army of volunteers, partners, and financial support to make a meaningful impact. Enter H&M, as Mary Alice describes, it was “divine intervention” when the company contacted GLAM4GOOD to collaborate nationally. H&M donated $100,000 worth of new clothing in just one day at the Detroit event! That’s commitment! While the donation was substantial, the genuine goodwill for the community, the company, and H&M employees is incalculable. So, Fashioncast fans, listen and learn about what really matters from Mary Alice Stephenson, the industry’s preeminent leader on fashion philanthropy. WARNING—tissues required!

Listen close Fashioncast fans as the globe-trotting Canadian swimwear designer Ana Stulic is a rare interview in the world of fashion. A native of Croatia, raised in Windsor, Ontario, Canada, schooled in Europe and Asia, and now a frequent visitor to the USA, Christine and Mike have appointed Ana the unofficial title of "Ambassador of Fashion" for Canada! In this episode, you’ll hear how Ana, "for as long as she can remember," has been immersed in fashion, and with a little family encouragement, attended the Instituto Marangoni the private Italian school of fashion and design, one of the top ten fashion schools in the world. Ana is multi-lingual, beautiful, creative and intelligent. But her journey has been one of intrigue highlighted with its own peaks and valleys. Through it all, a positive and persistent Ana has stayed true to her love of fashion and design. As the interview progresses, Ana shares a gold mine of fashion wisdom nuggets for both experienced and emerging designers. After participating in Miami Swim Week 2019, Ana’s advice regarding the “fashion show circuit” is especially compelling as she debriefs us on the behind-the-scenes production and effort demanded from designers and their teams. Ana closes the interview reflecting on fashion networking, sustainability, and her beloved puppy Nino’s unexpected trip to the vet! If you’re like Christine and Mike, you’ll be left wondering how soon this fashion diplomat can make it back to the show!

It’s an interview for the record books Fashioncast fans. Co-hosts Christine and Mike are still trying to recover from the overflow of astounding fashion information from the one and only Aki Choklat. Literally, fresh off his recent triumph as being named Hour magazine’s Best-Dressed in Detroit (on the cover), Aki Choklat, international shoe and accessories designer, Chair of Fashion Accessories Design at the College for Creative Studies, entrepreneur, accomplished fashion author, and all-around fashion intellectual brings his “A” game to the studio.    From his humble beginnings in Jyväskylä, Finland, to his formal education studying political science and interning for a U.S. Senator in Washington, D.C., it’s an incredible journey that ultimately lands Aki in Europe as a well-known shoe designer.  Moreover, Aki’s a walking encyclopedia of fashion information from key historical fashion designers to current trends and influencers.   Finally, Aki’s an all-around nice guy with a voice for radio and a keen sense of humor.  What more could a listener ask for?

Well, just when the Fashioncast hosts thought they were done for the afternoon, along came RC Caylan, another 2019 FashionSpeak workshop presenter, with a story so powerful we decided to release it as a separate podcast. Listen and take the journey, and connect the dots to another unbelievable fashion story so powerful Christine and Mike sat wide-mouthed more than once! An incredible story is told of RC’s initial curiosity about fashion observing his grandmother a full-time seamstress and garment worker neighbors, to his frustrating starts and stops into and out of the industry, to meeting the love of his life and moving to Grand Rapids, MI. And, oh, and by-the-way, did we mention his off-the-charts success with his luxury bridal dresses and high-end couture? In just 3.5 years RC’s designs have been seen in Vogue and on runways around the world. He’s now a sought after celebrity designer and will be opening his first by appointment only shop in Grand Rapids by the end of 2019. You’ll love RC’s industrious attitude and his down-to-earth personality. No doubt, we’ll be hearing more from this emerging superstar designer.

We’re not sure how they accomplished this one Fashioncast fans, but FahsionSpeak was able to recruit Jolie Altman, the prized jewelry designer from Birmingham, MI to be the 2019 Conference’s Keynote Speaker. In this interview, Jolie explains her amazing and unintentional path into the fashion world. From designing and making jewelry for herself to a year-round business providing upscale one-of-a-kind jewelry at truck shows and special fashion events across the country. Jolie’s central message? “Make the art for yourself.” It seems obvious, but all too often designers find themselves creating for others instead of themselves, and lose the artistic edge in the process. Jolie’s story is full of twists and turns, some “luck” as she likes to say, and a ton of effort. No wonder she was invited to be the Keynote Speaker! And, as if the interview with Jolie wasn’t enough, Kay of Kay Kay Fashions weaves a fashion narrative that blew the hosts away. No spoilers here, but Kay's story from the world of politics and law to fashion is more than a head-turner. In addition, it’s not only how Kay ended-up in fashion, but it’s also about her extraordinary success, her beautiful personality, and a loving and supportive mother. Let the happy tears flow, two incredible stories chosen at random at a fashion conference. What are the odds?

If Karen Buscemi isn’t the epitome of leadership in Detroit’s world-of-fashion nobody is! Fashioncast fans will love Karen’s energy, focus and sense of mission. In fact, before she began the interview she mentioned ten minutes would be the most she could hang out, luckily we wrapped up in eight!

Moda Cast - Bags: Rumbles Bags - Mum and Baby: Borse rettangolari capienti, 2 grandi e 1 piccola, per mamma e bambina, comode e facili da indossare, che impreziosiscono l'abito con una nota di colore.
