Willa Bennett, a trailblazing force in media, is the editor-in-chief of Highsnobiety, steering the publication to new heights of innovation and influence. A Forbes 30 Under 30 luminary, her journey began at Seventeen, pioneering its queer vertical before igniting social strategies at GQ, and championing diversity as Condé Nast's global co-chair. The American Society of Magazine Editors recognized her for social media excellence and video programming, and her leadership at Highsnobiety garnered recognition in the Digiday and Muse Awards. Highlighting the importance of authentic narratives in connecting with young audiences, what she sees as contemporary now is pushing the boundaries and shaping the future of media—even if that means tuning out the background noise and tapping into real community. Episode Highlights: Bennett grew up in LA, balancing two passions: masculine menswear magazines and hyper-feminine ballet practice. Talking about her early passion for vintage finds and retro styles, Bennett says experimenting with styling became another medium for her, “like writing.” She grew up reading publications like Teen Vogue, Seventeen, Nylon, and Dazed—publications she says understood young consumers and which she still keeps a few print copies. Bennett moved up through various roles in the industry at a time when social media marketing was in its more raw, early stage. Her role at Highsnobiety gives her creative freedom in that it moves with the youth culture and its fast-paced, creative, adaptive, and reactive workplace environment. Bennett is ahead of the curve, balancing personal perspective with editorial consideration and curation. Her team at Highsnobiety pushes a particular and intentional editorial vision, championing designers and talent that they want to carve out a space for. Some of Bennett's favorite cover stars have been Billie Eilish, Andre 3000, and Pamela Anderson, though she felt strongly about the Dries Van Noten cover. Bennett has spoken about forming real connections as a priority over solely professional relationships, despite how “transactional” the industry can be. Under Bennett's eye, Highsnobiety's niche is to move in tandem with the zeitgeist instead of against it, never telling readers what to do or who to wear. Bennett considers real-life events crucial to foundational community building, saying, “that to me is a way bigger metric of success than like any influencer with 16 million followers posting one slide that everyone's going to skip over anyway.” She's published poetry collections benefitting The Audre Lorde Project for queer youth. For Bennett, deleting social media is what's contemporary now, surprisingly. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER— In early April, what's left of the magazine industry gathered at Terminal 5 to see who would win this year's National Magazine Awards—the ASMEs. Throughout the evening, the usual suspects stepped up to accept their Alexander Calder brass elephants—the ‘Ellies'—on behalf of their teams at The Atlantic, New York, and The New York Times Magazine. Then came the award for General Excellence, Service and Lifestyle—a category that covers every food, fashion, and fitness magazine in the business.And the Ellie went to… content juggernaut Highsnobiety—a sneaker blog-turned-cool kid media amalgam that encompasses a twice-annual $20-per-issue print magazine, plus a flood of social media, a website that is also an e-commerce platform, and a creative agency that does 360-degree marketing and storytelling for brands.Before the crowd could start scratching their graying heads, a Billie Eilish lookalike in a gray Thom Brown skirt-and-pant suit took to the dais. There were plenty of people in that room who had never given Highsnobiety much, if any, thought. But in that moment, this woman, Willa Bennett, Highsnobiety's 30-year-old editor-in-chief, had officially become a force to be reckoned with. Not only that, but Highsnobiety's business model, which bends rules that had long been sacrosanct in magazine journalism, suddenly appeared to have won the seal of approval from the oldest of the old guard. The post at Highsnobiety was a major leap for Bennett. Just two years ago, she was the social media manager at GQ. Our friends who worked with her there tell us they thought of her as “the industry's little sister”—hungry, passionate, and looking to translate the magic of magazines to a new generation. They said that even though she's disrupting the magazine as we once knew it, at heart Bennett is a “a magazine junkie who really venerates the old ways.” And now the surprise win has put her in the spotlight of the establishment media, with The New York Times Styles running a portrait of Bennett in her signature suit-and-tie look on its cover. The win inspired a segment on the Slate Culture Gabfest in which the hosts pondered, “What Is a Magazine Now?”Over in Spreadlandia, we thought, Why not turn that question directly to Willa Bennett herself? In the end, this conversation left us feeling more optimistic than usual about the future of media. It also made us feel old as shit. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did.—This episode is a special collboration with our friends at The Spread and is made possible by our friends at Mountain Gazette, Commercial Type, and Lane Press.

On this week's show, the hosts begin by discussing Challengers, Luca Guadagnino's sexy tennis flick in which Zendaya stars as Tashi Duncan, the muse and lover of two male players, Art (Mike Faist) and Patrick (Josh O'Connor). It's a smart but silly movie, one that paints a beautifully nested portrait of friendship and rivalry, and explores the complexities of desire. Then, the three dissect Baby Reindeer, an incredibly constructed and emotionally intense psychodrama–and a true-ish tale–by creator and star Richard Gadd. The seven-part series is currently dominating Netflix and explores themes including masculinity, sexuality, and abuse. Finally, what is a magazine now? The hosts consider this question, inspired by Jessica Testa's article for The New York Times profiling Highsnobiety, a store-website-production agency-clothing line hybrid that recently won a National Magazine Award for general excellence, the publication's first nomination and win at the “Oscars of the magazine world.” In the exclusive Slate Plus segment, the panel jumps into a classic spoiler special and discusses the final scene of Challengers.

Writer, editor, and creative director Thom Bettridge navigates the realms of storytelling, experience curation, and audience expansion with seasoned expertise. From editorial leader at 032c, Highsnobiety, and Interview to Head of Creative and Content at SSENSE, Bettridge has come a long way since his beginnings as a student of philosophy in New York City. His series of compelling statements showcase an impressive grasp of worldbuilding, adding context to the evolving landscape where editorial content and e-commerce converge. In an industry where magazines and retailers traditionally kept their domains separate, Bettridge's approach to keeping consumers engaged signals a potential future trend for others. His insights reflect a shift toward a more integrated and dynamic relationship between content creation and commercial endeavors. Bettridge has seen—and been behind—much of the changes to the fashion industry as it enters an inundated era obsessed with viral moments. His connectedness to contemporary culture is only rivaled by his closing remarks: that true contemporariness might be found in uncharted, offline territories. Episode Highlights: After becoming interested in art criticism via philosophy studies, Bettridge started an art space in Medellín, growing attracted to the fast-paced evolution of Colombian culture and society. On interning and moving up through the ranks in New York: “That was my idea of hell. So I wanted to go somewhere where I could make more of an impact even if it was an uncertain terrain.” Noting that “the only two things that were still alive and kicking when I finished school were fashion and, like, tabloids,” Bettridge explains how he came to fashion through his love of magazines and editing them. The solitary nature of writing didn't suit his personality, and Bettridge found he enjoyed editing more, with creative direction being an extension of that kind of collaboration. “360 control over how a story looks and appears”: Creative direction was never a target for Bettridge, who considers it more of a byproduct of writing and editing—what he was already doing—and born of necessity along the way. His first foray into magazine editing was at 032c, where he gained firsthand experience observing creative direction before moving on to Interview. Considering philosophy as a way of creating and applying systems, Bettridge sees an analogy in being a storyteller adept at making connections. Coming to SSENSE as the company was nearing its 20th anniversary, Bettridge leaned on the experiences of the people who had been at the company for a long time. Bettridge has a strong understanding of brand DNA, pushing the company further into its “anti-nostalgic, anti-heritage” heritage. “Mind-share”: Bettridge's creative process aligns naturally with SSENSE's ability to tap into a young, digitally native generation, which communicates via social media. Using a metaphor of a hotel with a great coffee shop, Bettridge expresses the relationship between editorial content and e-commerce, where content regularizes exposure to a company and signals what it's about. To cater to a younger generation, Bettridge notes that youth culture demands that brands be good storytellers that tap into the current social and political moments. Old-school print magazines tell stories through image placement (much like Instagram), but in a way, that decisively marks a certain zeitgeist, which Bettridge says somewhat outlasts the neverending inundation of social media. Bettridge remarks on learning that intuitively marked anchors within a magazine or brand's vision create cohesion and that visual storytellers are the individuals most capable of creating brands with palpable foundations or clear identities. What's contemporary now? The potential for offline culture, a culture that “isn't solipsistic or self-isolated.”

When the value of a product is eclipsed by the value of its branding, the propaganda becomes the vehicle of self-expression. Social media, the ultimate tool of self-expression, is dominated by personal brands. But a brand doesn't have a “self” — it answers only to sales. In a world where market dynamics dictate the entire human experience, where does this trajectory ultimately lead us? Featuring brands like Liquid Death, MSCHF, and Mattel. BRINK is a creative agency dedicated to reshaping the advertising industry through expanding awareness of our impact on the collective conscience and adopting a more humanist approach.

Welche Rolle Fußball-Fans, Rapper und die Spice Girls beim Aufstieg des Tracksuit von Sportbekleidung zum Luxus-Item spielen und ob Karl Lagerfeld wirklich Jogginghosen abgelehnt hat - das hört ihr in dieser Folge von "Iconic". Von Sportbekleidung zum Luxus-Item: der Trainingsanzug hat seit seiner Erfindung Ende der 1960er-Jahre eine tiefgreifende Wandlung durchgemacht. Welche Rolle Franz Beckenbauer, Fußball-Fans, Rapper wie Run DMC und auch die Spice Girls dabei spielen, warum es immer auch eine Klassenfrage ist, wie der Trainingsanzug wirkt und ob Karl Lagerfeld wirklich Jogginghosen abgelehnt hat, darüber haben wir mit dem Tracksuit-Experten Amos Barshad, der Journalistin und Social Media Managerin Ruhi Parmar Amin von Highsnobiety und der Modesoziologin Joanne Turney von der Uni Southampton gesprochen.

It's a new era for fashion month, where designer collections are just one piece of the pie. As brands across price points and specialties aim to compete in the increasingly competitive retail landscape, more are taking advantage of the opportunity and approaching it strategically. They're cutting through the noise with innovative marketing tactics, introducing new commerce plays and leveraging advanced digital capabilities to best showcase their products. In this podcast series, running throughout Fashion Month Spring 2024, Glossy and influential leaders are breaking down the evolution of the experiential event. In this episode, we sit down with Willa Bennett, who joined fashion and media company Highsnobiety as its editor-in-chief in 2022.

In part one of a three part series, Liz Ricketts of the OR Foundation breaks down the repercussions of our overconsumption on Ghana, its people, and our entire planet.About 15 million secondhand garments from the Global North arrive in Accra, Ghana each week. These bales of "dead white man's clothes" represent a massive industry with incredibly negative economic and environmental impact. Liz will describe a typical day in Kantamanto (the secondhand clothing market). She'll explain why resellers often say a prayer before opening a bale, and what happens to the 40% of these clothes that are simply not sellable.

BoF's Imran Amed speaks with Alec Leach about his manifesto on how we can move towards a better relationship with fashion.Background: For nearly five years, author Alec Leach worked as an editor at streetwear website Highsnobiety, where he spent his “career telling people to buy stuff.” Leach saw up close the contribution his content was having on overconsumption and the lack of responsibility brands and consumers took for their own part on the climate crisis, both subjects he tackles in his book, “The World Is on Fire But We're Still Buying Shoes.” “I love working in the industry. I really, really do,” says Leach. “I think we just all need to accept that we're part of this consumerist machine. And once you accept that, then the kind of potential for positive change becomes clearer.” This week on The BoF Podcast, Leach sits down with BoF's founder and editor-in-chief Imran Amed to discuss how the fashion industry and consumers must change. Key Insights:During his time at Highsnobiety, Leach attended several events, including the Global Fashion Summit in Copenhagen, focussed on sustainability in the industry. But for all the discussion of supply chain and new technologies, he felt that there wasn't enough talk about what he saw as the core issue. “No one's really asking why we buy so many things,” he said. “It always comes down to overconsumption.”In Leach's book, he says shopping is part of a consumer's identity because of the role it plays in self expression. “It's important to acknowledge that fashion is intimately connected to our sense of self. That makes shopping a pretty existential experience,” said Amed, quoting Leach's book. According to Leach, the supply chain is a “nonsensical system” that allows brands to take little accountability for their own manufacturing processes. “Brands aren't really that responsible for what happens in their supply chain, and they're not really responsible for what happens to all these clothes when they're no longer wearable,” said Leach. Leach's personal experiences in therapy over the course of years helped him dig deeper while writing his book. “That's where a lot of the more psychological and philosophical elements of the book came out, it was about me being in therapy every day, every week and asking myself some very difficult questions afterwards,” he said.Additional Resources:“The World is On Fire But We're Still Buying Shoes” by Alec Leach: Leach's debut book or manifesto explores society's relationship with overconsumption and how consumers can have a better relationship with fashion.

Hon arbetar också som skådespelerska vid sidan av företagandet och studerade i tidigare år vid Copenhagen Business School där hon senare arbetade som management konsult.Vi går in på Dias uppväxt i Helsingborg med en ensamstående förälder under 90-talets Sverige, vad hon drömde om som liten och hur hon resonerar kring att läsa vidare och vad som krävs. Dia berättar om hur hon kom in på skådespeleri men också sanningen bakom att driva företag, om utmaningarna men också om hur de har gått tillväga för att synas på modeveckor och tillsammans med varumärken som så som Chimi, All Blues, Tekla och Highsnobiety, bara för att nämna några få.Vi går också in på vad hon hade gjort annorlunda om hon fick ge sitt 20-åriga jag råd och vad som är hennes drivkrafter samt krav på sig själv.

We, as marketers, all understand how important it is to get to know our customers. But what discipline are we bringing to that process? Do we understand the many levels of empathy we need to have for them, and how to translate those insights into the customer experience and product or service?Today, Emily Vernon, shares so much wisdom about how to look at our customers' experience. We talk about the cumulative experience and how brands can shift from being reactive to cultural moments to being more proactive. Emily shares the three altitudes of empathy - the layers at which we need to understand our customers in order to create an engaging experience. We discuss how brand experience is shifting from user-centricity to human centricity, and requires leaders to address more complex, emotional needs (yes, even in B2B!). We chat about how empathy should be viewed as a skill, not a trait. She also shares 5 empathy exercise types so you avoid seeing customer insight gathering as one-dimensional and discover which ones your brand is doing well, versus what you may be missing to get a fuller picture. Today's episode may change the way you gather customer insights from now on! Key Takeaways:You have to understand your customers as people, not as a broad, generic demographic. In order to connect with the right people, some people won't like you. B2B has evolved over the last 20 years, but it is important to remember that you're selling to humans, who justify emotions with logic, but are still buying with emotion. There is more than one way to look at empathy exercises. It is important to look at empathy from all angles, gather and analyze that information, and then implement with your team and see what sticks. "We bring meaning in terms of how we live, we bring meaning in terms of how we do our job. There's much more of a movement in B2B to start to look at things emotionally." — Emily Vernon About Emily Vernon, Customer Experience Consultant an, B2B Experience Lead:Emily consults Reckitt around the end-to-end experience for B2B hygiene solutions. For more than ten years, both agency- and client-side, she has enabled brands to better engage their audiences through experience, ranging from products to service rituals, physical environments to digital platforms.

We had the pleasure of interviewing Tommy Newport over Zoom video.Tommy Newport is known for his irresistible falsetto-steeped indie anthems, garnering a substantial buzz with his 2018 debut, Just To Be Ironic, while he was still a teenager. Following the paramount success of 2019's Tommy Gun EP and 2021's Ultra Mango EP and Liquid EP, Newport continues to develop his euphonious sound. Having received plenty of critical acclaim along the way from the likes of The FADER, Complex, Hypebeast, High Snobiety, Pigeons & Planes, PAPER, Lyrical Lemonade, COLORS & more, Tommy is continuing to prove he's a force to be reckoned with. At only 21 years old, Tommy's already toured extensively across North America & Europe, been championed by legendary tastemakers like Zane Lowe & Giles Peterson, and collaborated with Grammy nominees EARTHGANG. Born Oliver Milmine in Manchester, England, Newport moved to the United States at a young age, eventually settling in Kansas. There, he picked up the guitar and taught himself how to produce music on his computer. Consolidating his style and sound into something rather extraordinary, Newport has created his own funky, psychedelic style of pop with his falsetto vocals riding atop bulging basslines, grooving guitar, melodious keyboards and electronic grooves. Inspired by a mix of early-2000s bands like MGMT, The Killers, and Phoenix, he's received musical placements on shows like Search Party, Ballers, Expecting Amy, an Apple iPad commercial and What/If. Withover streaming numbers hitting the millions, Tommy Newport continues to shine with his unique soundscape and musical capabilities. He's got some big moves lined up in the year ahead and is certainly proving to be one to watch! We want to hear from you!

At one point or another, everyone has an encounter with a “cool guy”. You know who I'm talking about – over the top laughter, outlandish clothing, the center of attention always… yeah, that guy. Fred Durst was the epitome of the cool guy in the late 90's and early 2000's. He and his band, Limp Bizkit, were the hottest thing in music for about a 4-year stretch, until the sheen seemed to wear off. In fairly short order, Durst began to be the butt of jokes, Limp Bizkit went on hiatus, and it all kinda came to an end. But was the character we all got to know as Fred Durst, really the person Fred Durst? If he knew how to build a brand, capitalize on everything he could, knowing it wouldn't last forever, would you still think he's a d-bag? Let's rip into it with a f*n chainsaw in the Limp Bizkit episode of AHC Podcast.

We had the pleasure of interviewing grandma over Zoom video.Following his April single “I Met God Online,” genre-bending alternative artist grandma releases “Blue Atlanta,” a dreamy ode to darkness and disengagement. grandma also announces his next EP, “Angelhood” today, which is set for a July 15th release.“Blue Atlanta is about the imaginative avenues I created at a time of extreme loss. When I began to hate my environment and my inner world grew dull all I could do was detach. The video is about unfolding and breaking away from the life I created that caused me so much pain. Whether it was friends dying to addiction or suicide I just felt the light went dimmer and dimmer,” says grandma of the track. “I Met God Online,” released last month, chronicles the nonlinear nature of love in the digital age—failed talking stages, psychosexual pining, miscommunication and vibe shifts— intertwined with a fascinating strain of theism. ”I Met God Online” is about people's fascination with internet esotericism,” says grandma. “A meditation on how someone's life and internet presence can amorphously become someone else's religion, obsession, or gospel.”Hailed by Highsnobiety for “crafting music that pushes the notion of genre experimentation and fusion to unimaginably innovative heights,” grandma – a.k.a. multi-instrumentalist/producer Liam Hall – has earned applause for his fascinating amalgam of bedroom hip-hop, raw funk, alternative R&B, and lo-fi pop, showcased on 2019's debut mixtape, Even If We Don't Get It Together. The project – which features such groundbreaking tracks as “Stomp and Grind (Feat. Rico Nasty),” “Downtown Life,” and “Shallow Water,” – was followed in 2020 by an extensive string of chameleonic singles, including “Everybody's On Their Phone,” which was featured on SiriusXM Alt Nation's Advanced Placement and described by PAPER Magazine as a “reassuring and observant new song”, and “Virtually Anything,” an acclaimed collaboration with anti-pop star sophie meiers which earned acclaim from Nuance Magazine as “an extremely enticing track that is a must listen for any alternative/R&B fans.”Known throughout Atlanta's pop and hip-hop scenes for his skills as a singer, songwriter, musician, producer, programmer, arranger, and visual artist, grandma has received a wide range of media attention, with Pigeons & Planes naming him “Best New Artist of the Month” and A1234 declaring, “grandma, I have no doubt, will soon be the soundtrack to many people's adolescence as his genre-defying talent speaks to a whole new generation of music lovers.” The preternaturally talented polymath maintained a steady flow of tracks through 2020, including “Chills,” “Bested,” and “Growing Up Is Strange”.Now grandma is poised to push his distinctive brand of personal pop ever higher, reaching heavenward with a one-of-a-kind sound and vision unlike any other. Expect more music from this new chapter soon.We want to hear from you!

In this episode of the Get Loved Up podcast, Koya talks to celebrated environmentalist Leah Thomas. Leah talks about Intersectional Environmentalism and how we can't separate social justice from true environmentalism. While a little goes a long way when it comes to protecting the planet, Leah also recognizes that unsustainable practices also stem from social realities that need to be changed. Our planet's struggles are also our own and to solve environmental issues would also require solving the problems that hound human species alone. GUEST BIOLeah Thomas is a celebrated environmentalist based in Santa Barbara, CA. Coining the term ‘eco-communicator' to describe her style of environmental activism, Leah uses her passion for writing and creativity to explore and advocate for the critical yet often overlooked relationship between social justice and environmentalism.

That's something that always stuck with me for a really long time, just not understanding why there wasn't more representation of all the incredible black folks and our contributions to sustainability. " 06:22 Leah: "We can't separate the liberation of people from environmentalism. And if we do, I don't really want to take part in that type of environmentalism." 22:04 Leah: "I think about my time spent writing the book and it's all kind of a haze. I was just so into it, I was writing it during the pandemic. And I'm the type of person where if I have something to say, I'll say it. And when I don't, I'll be quiet. I'll be quiet for years. But I had something to say, I had it in my heart, and there's something just so freeing about that and then also I know that I can back it up." 26:10 Leah: "If you can, I mean, supporting conscious capitalism, shopping local, trying to reduce harm by getting things that are fair-trade, locally sourced, ethically made. I know sometimes there's a really hefty price tag on that." 41:03 Leah: "Do a little audit. Reward yourself with the things that you are doing. Compassionately guide yourself to do better in the areas that you're not." Please leave a five-star review for the Get Loved Up Podcast.
