Honestly with Bari Weiss ✓ Claim Last year was certainly eventful. 2023 brought spy balloons, Donald Trump's indictments, the coronation of a king, the fall of a crypto prince, and no shortage of chaos in Washington, from the ousting of Kevin McCarthy to the farcical George Santos scandal. Oh and then there's the small matter of two major wars, one in Gaza and one in Ukraine. Plus, ongoing tension between the U.S. and China. On a cheerier note, 2023 was also the year of Barbenheimer, the year when it felt like AI really arrived, and the year when the 90s were finally cool again.   But, as crazy as last year was, will the next twelve months prove that it was actually just the calm before the storm?  For many of us, 2024 begins with a distinct feeling of dread.  The Middle East grows increasingly unstable, the war in Ukraine is not going Kyiv's way, and Xi Jinping's rhetoric gets more bellicose by the day. Here at home, there's the small matter of the election from hell, in which American voters face the unappetizing prospect of once again having to choose between Donald Trump and Joe Biden.  To try and figure out whether things will really be as terrible as we fear, today on Honestly Bari Weiss and FP editor Olly Wiseman are calling up some of our favorite experts to get a better sense of what's coming down the pike.  The great Tyler Cowen looks into the economic crystal ball. Leandra Medine clues us in on fashion trends in 2024. Our very own Suzy Weiss talks through the cultural year ahead. Linguist John McWhorter looks at language. Doctor and longevity expert Peter Attia tells how to start the year healthy. Eagle-eyed political observers Nate Silver and Frank Luntz try to forecast the election. And the historian Niall Ferguson tells us whether we're right to be having nightmares about World War III.  Some guests cheered us up, others freaked us out. All of them were a pleasure to talk to.

Roxanne Assoulin has been in the jewelry business for over 40 years. But, thanks to its reliance on bold colors and youthful designs, her 7-year-old namesake brand feels as fresh as ever. Prior to launching her own brand, Assoulin designed for major brands like Michael Kors and had her jewelry sold in major department stores like Neiman Marcus and Saks Fifth Avenue. Her current brand took off thanks to boosts from influencers like Leandra Medine, who happens to be a friend of the family. “We never paid influencers,” Assoulin said on the latest episode of the Glossy Podcast. “Leandra had dated my son when she, like, 17. She's best friends with my daughter-in-law. I asked her to come to the office and tell me what she thought of what I was working on, and she took some pictures. I said, ‘Don't post those pictures anywhere,' and she said, ‘No worries, no worries.” That night, she posted them.” The early buzz helped propel the brand, which grew 300% between 2017 and 2018. Now, Roxanne Assoulin is carried by both online retailers like MatchesFashion and brick-and-mortar stores like Nordstrom. But in many ways, Assoulin said she's still figuring out where to take the brand next. She characterized herself as a “gut person,” who focuses on her own creative sense to help guide the business through challenges like the pandemic and the current decreased spending caused by inflation. For this week's Glossy Podcast, she spoke with Glossy editor-in-chief Jill Manoff about this philosophy, as well as her work with influencers, her history in the business and the inspiration behind her colorful jewelry.

En este episodio comentamos las polémica imágenes de Rosalía hechas con IA y las colaboraciones de moda del momento; Rich & Sporty x Lacoste y Leandra Medine por Soeur. También, hablamos de las tendencias que no vamos a dejar de ver; pijama corto de rayas y las bailarinas. Por último, hacemos un consultorio, con la calma, en el que respondemos a todas vuestras preguntas.

Dans cet épisode nous allons parler de la marque MaisonCléo. Une aventure qui a vraiment commencé quand l'influenceuse américaine Leandra Medine, suivie par plus de 900 000 personnes sur Instagram, a décidé de poster un article sur la marque ! Cléo c'est le surnom de sa maman avec son carré noir, son trait de crayon foncé sous les yeux et ses gros bijoux...un style qui rappelait beaucoup Cléopâtre ! Elle a construit sa vie autour de la mode engagée : elle a créé une marque responsable, en parallèle elle travaille chez Vestiaire Collective, la plateforme leader dans la vente de luxe d'occasion entre particuliers, et très récemment elle a lancé un compte sur Instagram pour revendre des articles vintage. Marie Dewet, la fondatrice de la marque MaisonCléo, est mon invitée ! ——- Références : Net à porter Leandra Medine, la créatrice de ManRepeller Susanne Alexandra Emmanuelle Lebas ——- Site internet de MaisonCléo : https://www.maisoncleo.com/ Instagram de MaisonCléo : https://www.instagram.com/maisoncleo/ Site de Nouveau Modèle : www.nouveaumodelepodcast.com/ Instagram de Nouveau Modèle : www.instagram.com/nouveaumodele.podcast/ ——- Mixage : Thomas Lenglain

Hannah and Maia unpack the horrors of the feminist fashion world and its posterchild, Leandra Medine (founder of Man Repeller). Was Man Repeller's demise really a death rattle for the girlboss, post-feminism era? Or was this just a blip in the timeline? Join us as we digress about Moonlight v. La La Land, whether emo and Abercrombie could ever be bedfellows, 5000 different pronunciations of Tavi Gevinson's name (and the Dhoom movies), and a fun game of spot the difference with a pair black fishnet tights.

Créée en 2016, MaisonCléo est une marque de mode « made in Pas-de-Calais » qui propose des pièces aussi audacieuses que singulières. Adoubée dès ses débuts par la blogueuse Leandra Medine et le mannequin Emily Ratajkowski, MaisonCléo a réussi le pari de proposer, en quelques années seulement, une mode désirable et engagée, réalisée à partir de chutes de tissus provenant de Maisons de Couture et d'usines françaises. Pas de collections, pas de stocks : seules les envies et les inspirations de Marie Dewet dictent la création de ses pièces réalisées sur commande et sur mesure dans ses propres ateliers, situés dans le quartier du Vieux-Lille. « Mon engouement pour la mode a commencé vers mes 13/14 ans : j'étais en vacances et ma mère m'a acheté sans que je le demande le Vogue US et c'est vraiment à partir de ce moment-là que j'ai commencé à m'intéresser à la mode. » Ce que vous allez apprendre dans cet épisode: Présentation de Marie Dewet La couture, une histoire familiale Ses études d'anglais, puis de communication Ses premiers stages à Paris chez Emmanuelle Lebas, puis Mode Trotter Son premier post chez Vestiaire Collective Les débuts fulgurants de MaisonCléo La commande de Leandra Medine L'article dans le Vogue US Emily Ratajkowski et la blouse Agnès Le principe de son ticket de caisse L'arrivée de Ludivine (d'abord mannequin puis bras droit) Son système de production et de sourcing Sa collection pour Opening Ceremony Ses collections exclusives pour NET-A-PORTER Sa collaboration avec Printemps Ses deux collections capsules pour Selfridges L'orchestration d'un défilé Son engagement contre la fast-fashion Son processus créatif Son amour pour le sur-mesure Pourquoi elle offre des pièces à des influenceuses de fast fashion Les marques qui l'inspirent « En 2016, je postais sur Instagram les vêtements que ma mère me faisait et petit à petit les gens me demandaient s'ils pouvaient avoir la même pièce. » « C'est ma mère qui est allée à l'hôtel place Vendôme déposer la blouse Agnès à Emily Ratajkowski. » « J'ai envie de rendre le Made in France accessible aux plus grand nombres, pour faire découvrir un savoir-faire. » N'oubliez pas de vous inscrire à la newsletter de Entreprendre Dans La Mode, les industries créatives et l'art de vivre sur www.entreprendredanslamode.com Aussi, si vous souhaitez me contacter ou me suggérer de nouveaux invités, vous pouvez le faire sur Instagram sous le pseudonyme @entreprendredanslamode Enfin, le plus important : laissez-moi un avis sur Apple Podcast ou iTunes, 5 étoiles de préférence ; cela m'aide à faire connaître le podcast à plus de monde et me motive à faire de meilleures interviews !

This week I really wanted to share three podcasts that influence me every single week; Jay Shetty's On Purpose, fashion designer Recho Omondi's The Cutting Room Floor and Maintenance Phase, an anti-wellness show hosted by Aubrey Gordon and Michael Hobbes. While Jay Shetty inspires me to grow and create the life I want, Maintenance Phase is the podcast that makes me question everything health-related and The Cutting Room Floor is an exercise in research and reflection, with a fashion angle. I wanted this episode to be an insight into what I love and I really hope you love them too! Be sure to let me know – do you already listen to these podcasts?

Leandra Medine was one of the very first fashion bloggers to penetrate the old school fashion scene. A street style staple, she was known for rejecting the magazine standard of beauty and not caring whether or not her looks attracted men. Or did she care the most? This week Claire and Ashley dive into her book of essays to try and find meaning in a pile of overalls. TRIGGER WARNING: This episode discusses eating disorders Tees are Here!!

Do beaten horses in fact ever die?  Millie and Natalie attempted to discuss their being uninvited from a comedy show for their Jewishness when Al Jazeera asked them to record comments for the news channel's documentary on comedian Noam Shuster (see S1 E13).  They then follow how the media orchestrates the never-ending Israeli-Palestinian conflicts on behalf of larger powers financing the proxy war (in the name of each's plights and passions, of course!) and why Recho Omondi felt obliged to somehow re-cancel Leandra Medine, a sadistic spectacle promptly picked up by the so-called fashion media (e.g. NY Mag's The Cut.) She is recancelled, she is recancelled indeed! Intro music: Mustafa Sandal - KalmadıSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/persiangirlpodcast)

Lieve luisteraars! Doortje kon niet meer over straat zonder aangehouden te worden met de vraag: ‘wanneer begint jullie podcast weer?’ Zelfs Lena kreeg dm’s van jullie. Dus: daar zijn we weer! En we hebben er ontzettend veel zin in, we hebben jullie gemist! En we hebben goed nieuws: we gaan een wekelijkse show maken! Elke woensdagochtend kun je dus een nieuwe aflevering verwachten. Dit kan mede dankzij de steun van jullie, onze luisteraars! Tientallen van jullie zijn namelijk Vrienden van de Show geworden, en betalen een klein maandelijks of jaarlijks bedrag. Daardoor kunnen wij nu meer tijd in de podcast steken! Wil je ook de podcast mogelijk maken? Word ook vriend van de show! https://vriendvandeshow.nl/monicageuzefanpodcast En laat vooral een voice memo voor ons achter :) Deze aflevering praten we jullie bij over wat we de afgelopen maanden hebben gedaan. Doortje stampte in een zomer een documentaire uit de grond over influencers die hun faam na tien jaar zien afnemen. En ze begon een column in de Trouw. Lena verhuisde en verdween in de wereld van home decorations en Pinterest, en begon een nieuwsbrief op De Correspondent. We beantwoorden jullie vragen aan ons (zoals: hebben wij wel eens gesapkuurd?), hebben we het over het einde van Man Repeller, de leukste memes op Insta en heeft Lena een mening over The Social Dilemma (waar Doortje het niet mee eens is).

Hi listeners!How would you rate the four Hollywood Chrises? This Junkee article explains why Chris Pratt is the worst (oops). Then, Leandra Medine announced that Man Repeller is officially closing down for good, after a tumultuous year of allegations of racism and apologies that missed the mark. Lily Allen has released a limited-edition Womanizer sex toy and tells Rolling Stone about her introduction to orgasms in her late 20s and we chat about the taboo that still surrounds women's self-pleasure.Jasmine recommends the 2016 show The People v. O.J. Simpson on Netflix. This 10 episode season is part of the American Crime Story television series. Maggie recommends Kim’s Convenience, also on Netflix. This sitcom revolves around a Korean-Canadian family who, you guessed it, own a convenience store.India Raine has created our jingle and edits and produces this podcast.

Up this week, we discuss the legend that is Naomi Osaka, how Katie Holmes is seemingly dating a Type-A Fuckboy and how Zac Efron found a cute Aussie girlfriend at a cafe. Then it's onto the new Netflix documentary, The Social Dilemma, which proved what we already know (that we're all addicts who need to go to phone rehab), while revealing some pretty scary insights into how much these apps know about us - and what they do with that knowledge. Plus, Man Repeller has dropped Leandra Medine and now they've dropped the 'Man' from their name, in a somewhat confusing rebrand, catered to its audience of ‘banana nut loaves and curiously spicy sweet potato fries'. You've got questions? Us too. Of course, we couldn't ignore the biggest pop culture news of the week: Keeping Up with the Kardashians is over after 20 seasons. Why did the Kardashians stay making KUWTK for so long? And what will their new media empire look like, sans TV? And finally, a mishap at a gender reveal party in California set off a huge wildfire that has already burnt through 10,000 acres of land and caused thousands to evacuate their homes. When the woman who accidentally kicked off the gender reveal trend is telling people to stop, why are we still taking these family celebrations to such extremes? And when did our generation, as one Atlantic journalist put it, start 'over-celebrating' life events?As always, rate, review and subscribe - and we'll see you Saturday.Recommendations Raven Smith - Trivial Pursuits An American Marriage The Social Dilemma (Netflix)Keeping Up With The Kardashians Gave America Its Real First Family by Hadley Freeman in The Guardianhttps://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2020/sep/11/keeping-up-with-the-kardashians-kim-kylie-kendall-family'The Growing Horror Of The Gender Reveal Party' by Raven Smith in Voguehttps://www.vogue.com/article/the-growing-horror-of-the-gender-reveal-party'Are Gender Reveals Cursed?' by Taylor Lorenz in The New York Timeshttps://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/10/style/gender-reveal-parties-cursed.html'Why Are We Over-Celebrating Life Events' by Alia Wong in The Atlantichttps://www.theatlantic.com/family/archive/2018/11/gender-reveal-parties-life-events/577075/ Get bonus content on Patreon See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Izzy, pro surfer, has discovered a hot new gentleman who's already pretty damn famous and Grace has finally listened to a recommendation: the brilliant new show Lovecraft Country, which we discuss on today's episode. Man Repeller founder Leandra Medine has returned to Instagram accompanied by a lengthy blog piece detailing her absence after the company was accused of racist practises. But does her apology, if that's what it is, bode well? Plus, were we all too quick to tear down companies like Glossier and The Wing who were actually trying to be inclusive over those who didn't bother at all? It's been over five months since Breonna Taylor was shot to death in her own home and still no arrests. Vanity Fair's tribute to the 26-year-old and interview with her mum will break you. Jacob Blake, an unarmed Black man, was just shot 7 times in the back by police. We discuss why it shouldn't matter what kind of person the victim is - or whether they were cooperating - and why murders (or attempted murders) aren't content to be shared on Instagram. Then it's onto Paul Mescal's brief foray on celebrity dating app Raya, how Claudia Conway became TikTok's Legend of the Week and an impromptu chat about looking after sick parents and grief

The racial unrest swept across the fashion industry like a tsunami, blindsiding and swiftly sidelining many, primarily female, executives in its wake. Leandra Medine Cohen founder of the popular fashion and lifestyle website Man Repeller is one such executive who “step(ed) back” from her CEO role, leaving the reigns in the hands of her team, announcing at the time that “the team deserves a chance to show you what Man Repeller can be with me on the sidelines.” Since her announcement in early June, Cohen has remained silent on just what happened to induce her sudden departure until this month with the launch of her newsletter - the first letter announcing her come back. We invited Leandra to speak to us this episode to discuss the topic of introspection - what that looks like for her, the process that got her to this point and the elements that helped her along this path.

This podcast is now a Kam Barris stan account A.K.A. the utter joy of the #BlackAF family of 'problematic' Negroes and Negresses. But also we delighted in Chloe, Drea, Izzy, Pops, and sure Brooklyn too.

This episode Shan and Morg, your two favorite wise jawns, reconcile their initial disdain, but soon come enjoyment of Netflix's #blackAF.

I touch some episodes of the fashion industry including: Vogue, Anna Wintour, Leandra Medine, Refinery29... where the fashion industry is doing wrong, why it's not something just related to America, the urgent need of a change, the initiatives of CFDA and Aurora James' 15percentpledge

Lieve luisteraars. Daar zijn we alweer, we hebben de smaak te pakken. En het onvoorstelbare is gebeurd: het universum heeft ons Gijs Groenteman gegeven. Nu maar hopen dat de stand van de sterren ons gunstig gestemd zijn en ook onze volgende crush zich bij ons meldt. Enfin, we namen pré-persconferentie op, en hadden last van een quarantainemoods. Maar dat dikken we, millennials die we zijn, graag een beetje aan. We gaan nu eenmaal lekker op hyperbolen. Verder deelt Doortje haar kooktips en recenseert ze het afhaaleten van Toscanini.

For our second episode of How are you, we wanted to check in with the Man Repeller herself – Leandra Medine Cohen,  the mastermind behind the company and the #oneleggedselfie. We’d say Leandra is one of the best people to call in times like these, because of her off the wall sense of humour, openness and relatability. Her commentary on everyday life provides us with much needed comic relief in between news updates during these complicated times.

Sheena Yaitanes is the founder of Kosas, a clean beauty brand she created in her Los Angeles home in 2015. While studying chemistry and biology at UC Irvine, Sheena found herself frustrated with a beauty industry filled with products that never felt good, healthy, or looked right on her skin. Fusing her scientific background and passion for painting, Sheena set out to create a one-of-a-kind lipstick with a strong focus on clean, non-toxic formula and shades that redefine the idea of nude for all skin tones. The brand launched with four lipstick shades, and every item had to achieve three things: look just right, be easy and straightforward in application, and act as skincare. Today, Kosas has expanded its product line to 12 lipstick shades, lip glosses, balms, makeup cases, and their cult-favorite products, the 10 Second Eyeshadow and Tinted Face Oil. Kosas is sold on Sephora, Goop, and Violet Grey, has a fan base of names like Gwyneth Paltrow and Gisele, and just closed a Series B funding round with investors like Leandra Medine and Scooter Braun. In this episode, Sheena and I talk about how she built a beauty brand from her kitchen table, where Kosas will go with the new investment, and how she wants to redefine the idea of modern beauty.

Leandra Medine Cohen is my guest today! The author and founder of Man Repeller, a fashion website with a unique voice and concept. Manrepeller's whole thing is about trends that women love and men hate, but it's also the way Leandra combines fashion with humour.I have been following Leandra and her work since 2013 (when she released her first book, Man Repeller: Seeking Love, Finding Overalls) so I am thrilled to have sat down with her all these years later. I went to the Man Repeller HQ in New York, and I also did an event with her the following day and got to meet some amazing Man Repeller readers. Thank you Leandra, for being so welcoming! Leandra attended College at The New School for Liberal Arts in New York, and then had a fact-checking job at New York Magazine. She then started Man Repeller in 2010. Today, Man Repeller clocks millions of page views a month and she has collaborated with a long list of fashion brands and retailers, including Mango (new collection out now) Saks Fifth Avenue, Amazon and others. She really is fascinating, and I hope you enjoy this episode!!! See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

With the rise of the 'attention economy' and food, shopping, men and, well, literally everything a mere button away - we've all become impatient psychopaths. Or at least that's how Isabelle and Grace feel anyway. How much of patience has to do with being in control? And how is our lack of it affecting everything from our relationships to our mental health? Plus, Jacinda Ardern's response to the Christchurch terror attack proves that when women stop trying to lead like men, we excel. And let's talk 'The Ick' - fundamental part of dating?

Female friendships, coming of age and the metamorphosis a girl makes into becoming a woman and her authentic self. The themes behind fragrance Gucci Bloom Acqua di Fiori inspired 15 young female creatives to design and write original works for Gucci's Instagram. Inside their drawings and images are texts that together tell a story which is sometimes personal, comical and intimate. In this episode, produced in partnership with Man Repeller and their podcast Monocycle, host Leandra Medine sits down with three artists from the project in an eccentric Brooklyn apartment to talk about their work. The artists convey their ideas in diverse ways. Emma Allegretti's character wants to be like everyone else so she concocts a Acqua Di Fiori potion. She transforms, only to realize her own self is unique and beautiful. Joy Miessi was inspired by her favorite park Hampstead Heath for her series of drawings and words that tell a story about herself and her friends spending time there. Amber Vittoria's illustrations represent the women around her and her own evolution as a creative.

No singing this week courtesy of Louis Theroux, but three different accents from Pandora in compensation. This week on The High Low, we discuss Boris Johnson's buffoonery - and when being a dotard can put another woman's life in danger. Our hearts go out to Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, 19 months into a 5 year sentence in Iran. As Boris (finally) meets Nazanin's husband, Richard, we discuss the Foreign Secretary and why we struggle to understand the seeming impotence of the government in scenarios such as these.Also today, the controversial new app, MakeApp, which leaves women ‘barefaced'. Dolly think it's misogynistic; Pandora thinks it's yet another example of tech working against cultural psychology and the greater good. BTW Pandora did it and Dolly thought she looked better than normal, so, that's interesting.And Pandora busts the myth of tumeric lattes with the help of registered dietician Rosie Saunt.Fun fact to (slightly) bum you out: Amazon have revealed that Fifty Shades of Grey is the No1 downloaded book on Kindle, of all time.DO SUMMINK GOOD TODAY: buy a pin from The Pin Project and support refugees, returnees and people displaced by warhttps://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1541394380/the-pin-projectBUY YOURSELF A TREAT: if you liked our The High Low pyjamas, you can buy your own pair of Poplin London pyjamas with neon pink piping, at poplin-london.co.uk with 20% off when you enter thehighlow at checkout.WATCHINGLouis Theroux documentaries on anorexia, and heroin, on BBC iPlayerhttps://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b09d5nk2/louis-theroux-talking-to-anorexiahttps://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b0991fsb/louis-theroux-dark-states-1-heroin-townMotherland, on BBC iPlayerhttps://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p05j1k3t/motherland-series-1-episode-1READINGEverything I Never Told You, by Celeste Nghttps://www.amazon.co.uk/Everything-I-Never-Told-You/dp/0349134286A Different Kind of Pregnancy Announcement, by Leandra Medine for Man Repellerhttps://www.manrepeller.com/2017/11/leandra-medine-pregnant.htmlHow The Myth of The Artistic Genius Excuses The Abuse of Women, by Amanda Hess for The New York Timeshttps://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/10/arts/sexual-harassment-art-hollywood.htmlOut of Time by Miranda Sawyer: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Out-Time-Miranda-Sawyer/dp/0007521073The Cult of Boris Johnson by Grace Dent:

It's ours for the taking, right? 

If you are in interested in fashion, culture or feminism, you’ve probably heard of the media site Man Repeller, and/or its founder Leandra Medine. I’ve been a fan and follower of Leandra for several years, so getting the chance to chat with her was a real treat. Leandra launched Man Repeller originally as a fashion blog while in college at the New School. For her it was a platform to write, as well as make her stand out from the competition when applying for magazine jobs in New York. This was 2010. Thanks to being super authentic and playful, Man Repeller quickly took off. The site and Leandra became stars, receiving a huge profile in The New  York Times, brand partnerships with major fashion and beauty brands and a front row seat at top runway shows. Dream come true? In some ways. What began as a vehicle to land a job became the best job for Leandra.  But we learn is that, even as her company has grown fast over a short period of time, Leandra, at 28 years old, is still trying to figure a lot out, including her own future. Is there a talk show down the road? I say yes. For more information visit www.somoneypodcast.com.

Leandra Medine thinks hard about what’s going on in her head, then she shares it through her massively successful online empire Man Repeller. She’s like a millennial Carrie Bradshaw. From launching an online business that was hailed as a success exactly three days after it launched, to the impossible heartbreak, and all the emotions in between. Candid, funny and disarmingly honest Leandra takes us into her world and joins us in a timely lollypop salute to Lt Theo P Kojak (obviously). To quote the late great detective, ‘Who Loves ya baby?'

~The Simple Sophisticate, episode #142 ~Subscribe to The Simple Sophisticate: iTunes | Stitcher | iHeartRadio   "Individuals can take hold of [style] and make it their own. Style is about an individual and fashion is about an industry and [fashion] runs on insecurity." —Stacy London  New York Fashion Week motors on as I tape this week's podcast, and for me, it is holiday and a celebration of sorts. While many trends will be on display, there will also be items that will speak to me as I continually hone my signature style. The priceless gift that style offers is being available to anyone. Each of us has a signature style should we choose to understand what it is. For each of us, this signature style will evolve as we too evolve as individuals. Therefore, the good news that Stacy London shared in a recent interview on Refinery29's Unstyled podcast is true, "Style is possible for everyone." Fashion, on the other hand, asks of us, and sometimes it feels as though it is demanding, to buy, to spend and spend again each season, attempting to keep up with the industry. But by simply understanding the difference between style and fashion, we can better appreciate and carefully select beautiful additions to our wardrobes that will enhance our style and not hinder unnecessarily our budget. "In place of style we have honored Merchandise. Clothes. Style, on the other hand, doesn't demand a credit card. It prospers on courage and creativity." —Hara Estroff Marano Courage and creativity. While it may be easier to pull on a ratty tee shirt and slip on loose, battered denim, choosing to craft your signature style offers a variety of benefits. And no, it doesn't require a gloriously flush bank account, but yes, it will require time, patience, thoughtful contemplation about who you are and what truths about your identity you want to reveal to the world. Owning your style is not for the faint of heart. No doubt it would be easier to revert to our youth when we were children, so young we couldn't dress ourselves and allow our mother's to make the decision, but then it wouldn't be our voice we were expressing. Often that is what fashion does, it tells us what to be; it tells us how we should look and by mindlessly following trends, we lose our identity. While clothing is reflective of the current culture, simply look back on your middle school and high school photographs. What did the clothes you were wearing reveal about you? Each of us will see someone different. Some of us will want the courage and confidence we exuded in high school while others will see a clone of the peers that surround them. As I have been pouring over each collection as it is revealed in New York these past few days, I am reminded of my vast ignorance in interpreting what I saw years ago and acknowledge how much more I need to learn; however, as I rest somewhere closer to the latter than the former, I enjoy each new collection like a short film. What is the designer's message, what was their inspiration, what am I drawn to, why am I drawn to it? Victoria Beckham's fall 2017 collection walked the runway on Sunday (today, just hours ago as I type), and it spoke to me. The hues, the lengths, the proportions. Nearly everything echoed the style that is me at this moment in my life: comfortable, yet elegant, feminine while ambiguous, modern inspired by classic and simple while being utterly luxurious. Can I afford Victoria Beckham when the line becomes available? No. Maybe, if the items go on drastic reduction next winter, but even then, most likely no. However, I wasn't considering buying her clothing, I was drawing inspiration. What do I have in my closet now (I do have a few) that fit her template? What items do I need to complete the look? The key understanding to differentiate between style and fashion is that style speaks your language to the world, fashion is in a tongue that is someone else's asking you to learn and be the follower. Style never follows, but is rather inspired by what excites them, speaks to them and then interprets it for themselves. Let's take a look at nine ways understanding how this difference and embracing and acknowledging your own style will change your life in magnificent ways. 1. Make a statement, reveal your identity "Our wardrobe is our visual vocabulary. Style is our distinctive pattern of speech, our individual poetry." - Hara Estroff Marano As Marano reminds, style is our own unique language, a dialect of fashion that we make our own so to speak. When we first learn how to speak it, we may feel intimidated to show it to the world, especially if it is vastly different, but the more we communicate confidently, the easier it becomes to step out in our own style each and every day. 2. Exudes security in one's self An individual who is not afraid to take the time to pull a thoughtful wardrobe together understand the power of clothing. An individual who dresses in such a way that allows the person, themselves to shine, exhibits self-awareness and self-knowledge; two traits that take time to cultivate. And when an individual exudes these qualities it becomes clear that they are more secure than not in themselves. Sure, we all have insecurities, but part of embodying self-awareness and self-knowledge requires valuing yourself and in order to value yourself you must have at least a modicum of comfort in who you are without the external world telling you. That is security, not insecurity, that is being strengthened, and that is attractive. 3. Reveals discipline Having style requires discipline. Discipline to say no to the trends no matter how much fun they may first appear all the while knowing our individual body, lifestyle, etc. wouldn't allow the woman to shine her brightest. Discipline is also revealed as to how we shop, being patient but determined. Knowing what we need in our wardrobe and taking the time to find it, perhaps tailor it in some instances and care for it properly. Discipline in how we invest, knowing the power of quality over quantity as well as cost per wear. 4. Presumed to be a person of interest When we dress well, we suggest, however subtly, that we matter. And while the clothes we wear and the clothes others wear do not determine our placement or worth, human beings are visual people. We make quick, subconscious judgments about people, and yes, first impressions matter. Dress well and cultivate assumptions that work in your favor. 5. Separates you from the crowd Dressing to stand out should never be the goal as it may push you to deviate from your true self, but if you dress well in a manner that aligns with who you are and you do so consistently, it will separate your from the crowd. Dressing well, no matter how casually or formally, involves not necessarily the label that is donned, but knowing how to pull together an outfit that looks good on your body, with your skin tone, hair color, expectations of tasks, etc. And as mentioned in #2 reveals your quiet confidence which brings ease to those around you. 6. Memorable Wearing a uniform, a signature uniform, provides a simple decision when stepping into your closet. Maybe it is the color palette you choose from, maybe it is the skirt lengths and styles or maybe it is combinations you always gravitate toward. Once you find a style that works for you, stick to it until it no longer does. (I share a few of these examples for myself on the podcast). In doing so, people will remember you. Maybe it is something as small as an individual accessory that you always wear with your clothing, but own it. And when you do, with regularly wearing of this uniform, accessory, etc. you become memorable. Think Carrie Bradshaw and her flower broach or The Good Wife's Alicia Florick in Oscar de la Renta suits. Memorable. The shows are long gone, but the signature styles are remembered. They were worn well, they were worn with confidence and we saw them regularly. 7. Each of us can create a unique identity "[style is] something recognizable and yet at an unexpected angle, with a surprising twist that both reflects someone's personality and expresses that personality to the outside world." -Joan DeJean, a professor of French language and culture at the University of Pennsylvania The signature item discussed in #6 begins to establish our identity in others' minds. And while we are not directly dressing for others, we are creating an identity that is memorable. Interestingly enough, our identity will evolve as we evolve. That is the beauty of style. When we grow, our style grows, when our lives change due to decisions we make, different life stages we go through, our style must come with us and reflect who we are now becoming. 8. Alters your behavior A 2012 study published in the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology revealed that by simply wearing a white lab coat to complete a particular challenging task, similar to that of a doctor, compared to participants who did not wear a white lab coat, those wearing the lab coat performed better. Now it may sound overly simplified, but adjusting and norming all other variables, they discovered that what we wear does effect our psychology, our minds and how we go through life. "Your interest in fashion is not supposed to minimize your intellect. The same way your disinterest in fashion doesn't mean you're not invited to participate in fashion." -Leandra Medine, Man Repeller I share Leandra Medine's quote to address the irony of clothing. The irony is caring about what we wear can reveal our intellect, as those who truly understand the power of clothing embrace it and utilize its powers. Yes, if all we focus on is what we're wearing and nothing else, that defeats the purpose. But in truth, someone who understands and respects the power of clothing would not toss its powers aside so blithely. 9. Visually reveals change is possible "The reason [style] is such a great tool is a great anecdote. Because you do see it. It is visible. But when you see a very fast change and visceral change in yourself. Once you see that that's possible you begin to wonder what else is possible." -Stacy London We want change in our lives: a better job, improved relationships, fewer pounds, etc. And deciding we want change is easy; the process that must be adhered to for it to materialize takes time. However, updating one's style: pulling on the right sized pants, paired with a flattering top, can take minutes to reveal that change is indeed possible when done thoughtfully. "By changing what you see is the first step in changing what you believe." - Stacy London And as Stacy London reminds, as we are visual beings: When we see it, we begin to believe it. If we are seeking change, no matter in what arena in our lives, how we present ourselves to the world can serve as a very powerful step in the right direction as we begin to make the change we seek possible. Wearing the right outfit will not magically and immediately lead to winning an Oscar or improving your bank account or [insert your dream here]. But it is the vehicle in which you begin your journey in the right direction. What you wear reveals who you are. And people want to know the who they are dealing with. They want to know if they can trust you (strong sense of self and confidence - see #2). They want to know you are worth investing in (see #3). They want to know that you are authentic (see #5). Let the world see the magnificent person that you are. Find her, dress her and let her shine without apology. "Fashion is about clothes and their relationship to the moment. Style is about you and your relationship to yourself. Fashion is in the clothes. Style is in the wearer. The distinction could not be more revealing." -Hara Estroff Marano   ~SIMILAR POSTS FROM THE ARCHIVES YOU MIGHT ENJOY: ~Why Not . . . Utilize Fashion as a Medium of Communication? ~Why Not . . .
