Fashion is in the midst of mall madness! Alyssa is joined by Casey Lewis, founder of the After School newsletter and Gen Z consumer trends expert, to discuss the rebranding and reinvigoration of the stores they grew up shopping at their local suburban malls, including J.Crew, Abercrombie, Hollister, Gap, Old Navy, Limited Too, Claire's, Victoria's Secret, and more. Tune in for a lively, winding discussion and Casey's insights on how TikTok haul culture is driving Gen Z to the mall; why a marketer's job is so difficult right now (especially for mall brands) and how to successfully capitalize on a moment; the exciting new energy coming from J.Crew's editorial and social media output; the frenzy surrounding the Gap x DÔEN, Gap x Madhappy, and J.Crew x Maryam Nassir Zadeh collaborations; a scene report from the Old Navy x The Cut Fashion Week party at Webster Hall; how mall brands are engaging with culture in a way they haven't previously; the halcyon days of Target and H&M designer collaborations and whether we'll ever get back there; why the Zac Posen era at Gap Inc. feels so promising; whether millennial icons like Alexa Chung (who just partnered with Madewell again after 14 years) and the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show can truly excite a new generation; the Gap Fall 2024 dance commercial featuring Troye Sivan really resonating on TikTok; Tyla being the ticket to Gen Z for both Gap and Victoria's Secret; the Hollister viral babydoll shirt; Abercrombie's fascinating success among elder Gen Zs and younger millennials; the Limited Too comeback and why the brand's catalogs are selling for $150 on Etsy; the renaissance of mall-favorite labels Tory Burch and Coach; and whether this mall mania is simply a result of the Y2K nostalgia wave that fashion can't seem to escape.

Shawn D. Nelson is the founder and CEO of Lovesac, repeatedly recognized as the fastest growing furniture brand in the US for over a decade. Lovesac is publicly traded on Nasdaq, ticker “LOVE,” and is projected to exceed $1 Billion in annual sales over the next few years leveraging its rapidly growing fleet of more than 270 Lovesac branded retail locations. From humble beginnings, Shawn founded Lovesac in 1998, making Sacs by hand for neighbors and friends while in college. He graduated from the University of Utah in 2001 with a BA in Mandarin Chinese before opening Lovesac's first retail location in his hometown of Salt Lake City shortly after graduation. In 2005 Shawn won a million-dollar investment from Richard Branson on his prime time hit reality TV show, The Rebel Billionaire, and was named acting President of Virgin Worldwide for a time. Shawn later achieved his Master's degree in Strategic Design and Management at the world famous Parsons, The New School for Design in New York City and continued on as an instructor there for a few years teaching courses on Sustainable Business Models, Leadership, and Innovation. Shawn now holds over 50 issued patents across multiple product categories with dozens more pending. The majority of Lovesac's sales today are driven by the ever-expanding product platform called “Sactionals,” the world's most versatile couch and myriad Sactionals product extensions including embedded technology. Shawn's recent book, “Let Me Save You 25 Years,” celebrates Lovesac's colorful history, and the many “mistakes, miracles, and lessons” learned along the way. Shawn lives in St. George, Utah with his wife, Tiffany, and their 4 kids, 2 cats, and 1 crazy dog. In This Conversation We Discuss:[00:42] Intro[01:35] A business idea right at home[03:05] Learning from direct customer feedback[04:13] Taking the last gamble and it worked[06:21] From side hustle to full-time business[07:22] Managing first store and franchising[08:16] Leveraging TV fame for VC investment[09:04] Competing in Branson's reality show[10:12] Staying grounded amidst financial highs and lows[11:00] Electric Eye: your true Shopify expert [11:56] Plan and DO something[13:31] Playing along the journey[15:09] Resilience through COVID and other setbacks[16:47] Patience is key to long-term growth[17:42] Defining your own success and timeline[19:27] Sharing 25 years of mistakes and miracles[21:01] Knowing when to pivot and when to persist[22:53] Thriving in uncertainty as an entrepreneur[24:13] Big outcomes require hard decisions[25:21] Get inspired with Shawn and Lovesac's journeyResources:Subscribe to Honest Ecommerce on YoutubeModern couches, sactionals and bean bags lovesac.com/Follow Shawn D.

Why would anyone trade bread for a pickle? This week, we kick off with Nora's hilariously high-pitched intro, thanks to their boundless excitement. The cicadas have finally buzzed off, leaving us to catch our breath and reflect on their noisy visit. From there, we take you through the emotional rollercoaster that is the NBA draft, drawing some surprising connections to the Tony Awards. And yes, we get real about Bronny James and the whispers of nepotism. As we wrap our heads around the bizarre trend of pickle sandwiches in New York, Nora's pickle-phobia gives us all a good laugh.Do no-show socks make you look ancient? We certainly have our opinions and we aren't holding back! Join us as we poke fun at the generational divide over fashion trends, reminiscing about iconic 90s stores like Limited Too and The Limited. Who doesn't have a hilarious story about a pair of overalls? Our stolen-overalls anecdote leads us down the rabbit hole of Little Free Libraries and an oddly futuristic issue of Reader's Digest. It's a wild ride of nostalgia and fashion faux pas that you won't want to miss.From Swatch watches to the latest Apple Watches, our final segment is a time-traveling adventure through our history with wristwatches. We share memories of our moms' collections and argue the merits of various styles. The episode rounds off with some relatable parenting highs and lows—from lost shoes to messy blender disasters—and the heartwarming anticipation of a child's return from sleepaway camp. Whether you're a fan of quirky clocks or just love a good family story, this episode has something for everyone.

Welcome to #Millennial, the home of pretend adulting and real talk! Hot on the heels of the Iowa caucus earlier this week, we aren't at all surprised by the outcome. Are pre-teens ruining Sephora, or are we turning into "olds"? The lack of pre-teen spaces (shops, online spaces, for socializing) is leading to some adolescent girls leaning into trends that may not be healthy for them at this age. The value of social currency still impacts us all, but it was at its height for our panel during those tween years. What are the impacts of Gen Alpha not having their own Lizzie McGuire, Limited Too, and skincare brands? Lest we forget that we are easily influenced: let's discuss the rise (and soon to be fall) of the Stanley Cup (no, we're not talking about hockey). Suburban moms and kids getting in on viral trends are basically the kiss of death. Given the Stanley's spot as a hot gift this holiday season, how long does it have before it's usurped by the new hot trend in hydration? Given these challenging economic times, our theme for this week's recommendations is 'little luxuries,' or things you can still do to treat yourself without breaking the bank: Paleo Pines, which is on sale for $23.99 through 1/22 (Laura), TheLipStickLesbians on Tiktok for all your lipstick recs (Pam), and Celsius energy drinks (Andrew). And in this week's installment of After Dark: How boomers ruined Facebook, and why our parents joining the platform changed the dynamics of how we were using it. Are we too hard on boomers? "They started it!" What are we thankful to boomers for? Rock n roll and birthing us (we guess). Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

I have only recently put my foot down and said, “No, I deserve to be here and I will be here and I’m staying here,” and I’ve been in the industry almost 10 years. It’s taken a really long time to not only convince people that I have the talent and the staying power, but also convince myself.Welcome to Burnt Toast! This is the podcast where we talk about diet culture, fatphobia, parenting, and health. Today I am chatting with Kyeshia Jaume, a senior apparel designer for Forever21. She’s also one of the only working designers at a major corporate fashion label, who both makes plus size clothes and lives in a larger body. Regular newsletter readers will know Kyeshia from Jeans Science. She’s working hard to change things in fashion from the inside. Her story is really important and I’m so excited to share this conversation with you. If you enjoy this episode, please subscribe, rate and review us in your podcast player!

We focused on how to talk about fatness and fatphobia with teenagers; listen here. Episode 31 TranscriptVirginiaHi, Kyeshia. Thank you for being here. KyeshiaHi, Virginia. I’m so excited to be joining you.VirginiaTell us how you got into fashion design. What called you to this work?KyeshiaUp until maybe 11th grade, I wanted to go to music school to pursue music. I just wanted to be a singer and I loved music. But I took a fashion merchandising class my senior year of high school and just fell in love with it. And I was like, I could do this. I could be in the fashion industry. I feel like I could really influence and impact it in some way. My fashion merchandising teacher was amazing, really encouraging, really excited about hearing that I wanted to be in the industry. And I remember she said something specific to me: “We need more people like you in the industry.” VirginiaWere you interested in clothes as a kid? Like always playing dress-up, that kind of thing? KyeshiaYeah, I was. My mom is a very fashionable person. She always made sure that we had really fashionable things to wear. And she was always very strong about individuality and really making sure that we stay true to ourselves and not follow trends that other people were doing. It’s so interesting, too, being a child who loves fashion, but also a child who couldn’t wear the fashion. Because I remember only being able to shop at like, Dillards and JC Penney. I couldn’t go into Limited Too. We would get Delia’s catalogs and I remember just flipping through and circling things I wished that I could wear. Back then that’s how you shopped.VirginiaThe Delia’s catalog was formative to my existence. Remember the belts with the seatbelt buckles? Which, now that I think about it, is many layers of problems. We know airplanes are not a size inclusive space, but I didn’t really think about it as an eighth grader. I just wanted that belt so badly. KyeshiaI wanted to be a Delia’s girl! I wanted to wear the denim. I wanted to wear the fun prints. Even like the house section, the bedding. I was all about it. Also I was a Nylon girl. I remember just dreaming and wishing that could be me. I wished I could have that stuff for myself and just being really sad that I couldn’t. VirginiaEspecially back then, those were not brands that were remotely size inclusive—or really any kind of inclusive. You were seeing the same skinny white girl over and over again in that Delia’s catalog. The low rise jeans and all that visible torso really, really did a number on our generation. And fashion, historically and currently, is a very thin, white industry. So how has that been for you, as a plus size woman and a woman of color getting into those rooms?KyeshiaI was born and raised in Utah. Utah’s like a bubble. You don’t understand anything outside of what your world is inside this very cookie cutter picture. Not only that, but I was a biracial brown girl who was not Mormon being raised in the middle of Utah. Religion is a very big part of the community in Utah, especially where I was living. The county that we lived in everybody calls “Happy Valley.” VirginiaIt’s an evocative name.KyeshiaSo I don’t think that I was fully aware of my diversity and how different I was from other people. I lived in my own little world. I moved to LA after university, to pursue fashion. I went to FIDM. I was aware of how different the world is outside of Utah, but not fully aware of how I would be treated differently, not only for the color of my skin, but also being a fat, brown woman in the industry. Going through fashion school, I think a lot of my peers underestimated me. I didn’t understand how hard it was going to be to get in the industry. I didn’t realize how difficult it would be to advocate for myself and to really say, “I deserve a seat at this table.” I have only recently put my foot down and said, “No, I deserve to be here and I will be here and I’m staying here,” and I’ve been in the industry almost 10 years. It’s taken a really long time to not only convince people that I have the talent and the staying power, but also convince myself. The fashion industry is such a girls club and a popularity contest. No matter what company I’ve been at, that has been consistent. There’s always the cool girls. There’s always the people who have each other’s backs. Even if they’re not very good at their jobs, because they look the part and they play the part, they’ll keep the part.VirginiaDo you feel like people have a preconceived notion of what the fashion girl needs to look like?KyeshiaAbsolutely. Not only that, but my name is Kyeshia. Straight out of the gate, you’ve already got an idea about who I am, without even meeting me. You’re probably already overlooking my resume because my name is too hard to say and you’re probably assuming what race I am, without even diving deeper to see what kind of skill set I have. It was hard, for a long time, to constantly feel like every single day I was going to work I don’t belong here. But this is what I love to do. And once you enter corporate fashion, you’re also up against people who have such thin bodies. Their whole lives are about diet culture and being thin and fitting into clothes and fitting a certain beauty standard. Lunches are always talking about who’s dieting and the next diet you’re on. I was very concerned about why we always had to talk at the lunch table about what we’re eating and why we’re eating it. VirginiaSo exhausting. And it’s so boring.KyeshiaIt’s so boring! Like, “Oh, Kyeshia. What did you bring for lunch today? Your food always looks so good. Oh, I just have a salad today. I’m so bummed about it.” When I’m eating leftover pasta for lunch. Like, it doesn’t matter. I’m feeding my body. The whole thing is uncomfortable. You start thinking well, I should just eat at my desk because I can’t handle another day of this diet talk and listening to people hating their bodies. Because if they hate their bodies, I can’t imagine what they think about mine.VirginiaThat narrative is so toxic. I remember when I worked in women’s magazines, my nightmare was office birthdays. Magnolia Bakery cupcakes were very big back then—they were the Sex and the City cupcakes. So someone would always order this tray of amazing cupcakes and then it was like cupcake chicken. Nobody could eat the cupcake. All these women would just stand around being like, “Oh, no, no! I couldn’t! Oh, I’ll just have like a little lick of the frosting.”KyeshiaThe funniest thing is when you bring donuts into a design room. Everybody wants the donuts. You know everybody wants the donuts. But you know what we will do? We’ll take a knife and we’ll cut it into fourths and we’ll just eat little pieces. Everybody is going back and forth to the table to get a little bite of donut and it’s just like, take the freakin’ donut. Just eat the donut and be okay with it! But it’s weird, every company I’ve been to is like that.VirginiaThe irony, too, of food on photoshoots for fashion. These elaborate spreads for lunch?KyeshiaIt’s such a waste. There is also this feeling of, I have to constantly look like I’m busy because of the stigma of I’m fat, so I must be lazy. I’ve always heard I have no sense of urgency. I don’t know what that looks like. What does a sense of urgency look like? Running from place to place? For what? VirginiaYou’re not putting out fires, you’re designing clothes. KyeshiaI’m answering the emails. I’m hitting my deadlines. I’m doing my job. So I don’t know what you mean by, “there’s no sense of urgency.” If I’ve completed my task, isn’t that urgency enough? VirginiaIt sounds like a lot of very coded language.KyeshiaIt feels that way. Because you don’t say that to other people who have been scrolling on their computer for days now, but the second you see me pick up my phone to answer a text message, I have a lack of urgency for my job.VirginiaThat’s a really toxic double standard. KyeshiaYeah. And a super big microaggression. What do you mean when you say I have no sense of urgency?VirginiaI would be interested to hear them try to explain it, even though it would not go well. They would only dig themselves deeper.KyeshiaI started out in handbag design, straight out of fashion school, because that was the only assistant designer job I could find. My second job was at an activewear company. So it was my first experience with women’s apparel and I had a lot to learn. I was maybe two weeks in and we were sprawled out on the floor, going over line sheets. I remember her saying to me, “Can I give you a little bit of feedback?” And I’m like, “sure, yeah, I welcome it.” Like, anything I can do to improve. She said, “I need you to hustle a little bit more.” And it completely spun me around. Because I was like, I’m trying. I just don’t know the processes yet. It was my first experience dealing with a sample room, with sample makers, and I wasn’t used to the process. So two weeks in, I’m brand new, and you’re telling me I need to hustle? Like, Okay. Loud and clear. And by the time I was three months, she still wasn’t satisfied with my performance and she handed me off to a different brand, which was fine. I think that there’s just a little bit of a disconnect in leadership if you’re not willing to teach.VirginiaAnd also, not willing to, sort of understand that people’s contexts are different and results can be achieved in different ways. This isn’t assembly line work where everyone needs to do the same job in the exact same way. KyeshiaYeah, and in order to get the results that you want, you have to be willing to teach. I think that that’s a huge part of a disconnect in the industry, nobody is willing to teach.VirginiaNot willing to teach and also not willing to learn! Another way of saying you don’t hustle is to say you are careful and methodical. And isn’t that a useful skill? There’s a way there’s a way of reframing these concepts to understand that someone might be bringing real strength to the table. Not to get away from the fact that probably you were hustling just fine and that was just a coded way of talking about your body. Well, it sounds like now you’re in a place where it’s not perfect, but you are able to accomplish more of what you set out to do, which is exciting to hear about. KyeshiaYes. So my career goal this whole time I’ve been in the fashion industry is to be a part of inclusive design. I would not be living my truth if I wasn’t able to produce things that I could actually wear. I work at Forever21 now. I am a senior designer on the plus team. We’re on this path to make an impact in the plus business. As you know, the plus business is a billion dollar industry and there are only a handful of companies who serve plus women. And we make up about 67% of the population, which is bananas. We’re underserving this community that makes up more than half the population. So, I’m really excited about the future work of what we’re doing at Forever21. I think in order to prove ourselves and gain the trust of the community, we have a lot to work on. We have a lot of work to do for the Plus Forever21 customer. I think we have really disappointed her in the past. I think in the beginning, she was so excited that we were available to her at an affordable price point. But I think over time, we’ve just really disappointed her—and I can understand that because I was her. I still am her! I’m really, really excited about the direction that we’re heading in serving the Forever21 Plus girl. It’s going to take a little bit to get to where we’d like to be, but there are a lot of things happening about maybe mid year that I’m really really excited about. And a new denim launch is one of them. VirginiaYou and I touched on this in our last interview: There are not a lot of folks in bigger bodies working in fashion design. Is there some kind of secret network of fat designers we can all be showing up for? How do we get more of you?KyeshiaI want in, if there is. How do I put out a mating call for my fellow plus size designers?VirginiaA bat signal? KyeshiaWhere do I find them? Yeah, within my career, I’ve only run into probably three other plus size designers working in the plus size industry. I’m sure there are more out there, but I don’t know where they’re hiding.VirginiaThat’s staggering. Because it’s such a loss of talent and a loss of knowledge. It explains so much. If you want to understand why plus customers are so often disappointed, why the clothes haven’t worked for so long, this is why.KyeshiaIf I were not in the industry, I don’t think that I would be encouraged to be in the industry. Because beauty and fashion standards are so white, so thin. I would be intimidated by that. I would be like, there’s no way that a person like me could get a job in an industry like that.VirginiaAnd your early experiences show it was not easy. KyeshiaIt’s not easy. It’s so interesting, because when I leave companies or when I talk to different managers and leadership, they’re always very encouraging. They’re always like, “We need people like you!” and I’m like, “Well, why don’t you hire people like me?”VirginiaYeah, that says a lot.KyeshiaI want to know that there’s more people who look like me who are out there in corporate fashion who are doing the work and making the change within. Because we’re the ones that really get it. I so often sit in rooms where people who don’t look like me say, “Oh, the girl’s not gonna like that.” And then I look and I immediately think, why not?VirginiaOh, interesting. Like what? Give us an example of that.KyeshiaOh, right now cutouts are a trend. And sometimes people are very apprehensive about how a plus girl would feel about cutouts. People are like, “Oh she’s not gonna wear that, that’s gonna show too much.” Well, maybe one girl might not wear it. But what about the other girl who is like, “I love this trend. I wish it was my size?”VirginiaThat’s interesting. I often hear from folks saying stop with the cutouts! I just need to finda basic tee shirt. I’m just looking for solid, functional clothes. Like, L.L.Bean doesn’t make plus sizes. So what if you want to go hiking? But you’re absolutely right, there are also lots of us craving design and not getting that. Especially when you’re getting fewer SKU numbers, how do you meet all those needs?KyeshiaIt’s difficult. Because especially with core things like tee shirts and jeans, you have to project your numbers for how much you can buy in these categories. Then you have a small SKU count for what you actually want, as far as fashion. What makes it even smaller is bringing in the juniors designs and what you’re going to tag on for those. Then you have like, this much of a pool for exclusive designs, designed by women who actually understand a plus body. So it’s hard to decipher what you lean into and when you say, “this isn’t going to be a thing.” The other designer and I sit together, and we look at the assortment that the buyers have chosen for the month and we give our feedback. If we see something in fittings, and we’re like, “I love the direction that you’re going here with this, but I don’t think that it’s going to execute the way that you want it to,” we have to flag it. We have to say, “Hey, I don’t know about this. It’s not gonna work for a plus girl. How can we change it? How can we enhance it to make it fit our girl?” For example, last week, I had a jumpsuit come in. Really, really cute for a skinny girl. Like, super deep V cut and the V ended at the waistline, and it was tie up halter at the neck. Then there was another piece that tied in the back as a tie panel. And I was like, “Okay, this isn’t going to work. The leg shape is nice, but it’s too open on the sides.” So I reached out to the buyers and I was like, “Hey, listen, I have some reservations about this.” And they were like, “Yeah, it doesn’t look great on the model. How can we fix it?” So I sent over the sketch and I was like, “Here’s something that I think that we could change to, that she would resonate with, but it’s more wearable.” If there’s something that we think is absolutely like unsalvageable, we have to say this is not going to work. We have to make it wearable because the plus girl is going to look at that and be like, “Ain’t no way.”VirginiaYeah, where are my boobs going? KyeshiaFirst question: “What bra can you wear with that?”VirginiaThat was my first thought when you described the jumpsuit.KyeshiaBecause not every girl is gonna be okay with doing boob tape, right? It just doesn’t work. So you have to think about what bra is she gonna wear with this, because I’m gonna tell you right now, she’s not going to go braless in this with no support. VirginiaOf course, for listeners who go braless, you do you. We’re not shaming anyone for not wearing bras!KyeshiaNo, no no. I love to free the nip. But there was nothing holding you at all. VirginiaSo a big part of your job is taking these juniors designs and enhancing them—I love that you’re using the word enhance—for the plus girl. But what would you be doing differently from the get-go to design better clothes for bigger bodies? Or what problems do you see as fixable but no one is really tackling them right now?KyeshiaThe number one thing is fit. We could be putting more investment into fit, it just takes too long. Way too long to adjust, way too long to put on different bodies. We fit twice a week, and the other designer and I, we dedicate a lot of time to it. Probably like, each day we’re fitting up to four hours, sometimes five. It’s a lot of work. If I were to start from scratch, I know it would be putting a lot of investment into fit because that is the number one thing that people and brands get wrong about plus clothing.VirginiaYeah, it feels like a very under-resourced area. For a longer discussion with Kyeshia and other designers on the problems with plus size fit, see Jeans Science Part 2.KyeshiaIt’s interesting because the industry is changing. Not only for plus, but for straight-size bodies, too, as far as like different measurements and different body shapes that they take into consideration. But there’s still designers out there that don’t take into consideration different body shapes, even for straight size women.VirginiaThe legacy of Karl Lagerfeld is very rich, I think. The “bodies should be clothes hangers for our vision” kind of ethos.KyeshiaBut what if the hangers are like a little curvier? VirginiaWhat if I don’t want to be a clothes hanger? What if I want to be a person wearing clothes? It’s a really an insulting proposition, frankly.KyeshiaI’m not just here to just be perceived. So yeah, I think my number one thing would be to focus on fit. Number two is fabric. I think sometimes even if something fits good, if it doesn’t feel right on your body, you’re uncomfortable. So I think comfort and fit and comfort and feel are two heavy hitters for me.VirginiaThat makes so much sense. You just articulated why some clothes I’ve bought that I’ve sort of liked—even when I see them on my body, I like them—but I don’t reach for them. It’s often a comfort issue. Even if it works, it doesn’t work because it doesn’t feel good to wear. So the last thing I wanted to talk about is: What can consumers be doing? How much does our feedback matter? On Instagram, there are always lots of different campaigns trying to attract the attention of brands to take the plus consumer more seriously. But I don’t know how effective those are. And if they’re not effective, what’s a better way? I’m just curious to hear your thoughts as someone who’s inside the industry.KyeshiaI think if you’re straight size, and you don’t know what it’s like to struggle to find clothes as a plus size body, start learning and advocate for that. Tell brands: Do you know how cool it is, for everybody be able to wear your clothes? That is an amazing thing. I think to advocate for that, as a straight size person, you are doing your brothers and sisters justice. Because I don’t know what it is about fashion companies, when they hear feedback from skinny white women, they actually listen. VirginiaHmm, take note, thin and small fat listeners. We have work to do.I’m glad to know that you think that is feedback brands will listen to you. I mean, obviously, it’s ridiculous that they will hear it best from thin, white women and not from plus customers. But it is good to know that it’s useful to do that because I think sometimes people worry that it’s just hashtag activism or sort of performative.KyeshiaAt Forever21 we have a newsletter that goes out pretty much every week, that highlights top comments and not-so-great comments. Consistently, across the board, there’s always a comment that’s like, “Why isn’t the plus in more stores? Why is the plus section so small? Why is your Online Plus section not great?”VirginiaYou’re like, “I’m on it, I’m on it!”KyeshiaI’m like, literally ask me the questions, and I’ll tell you exactly what people are feeling. Because I live it. I live it every single day, right? Even coming to work, I’m seeing it like, “Damn, I wish I could wear that.”VirginiaYes, I just want to have a moment for the rage I feel that you often can’t wear the clothes you design. KyeshiaIt’s hard. When I was doing private label for Target, it was such a cool feeling walking into a Target store and being like, “That’s what I did. That’s a part of me, I put in the work for that.” That was really, really cool. This goes back to having more plus bodies in the design room—I feel like people would be more supportive if they knew who was actually designing their things.VirginiaOh, I agree with that. I would love to be putting my dollars behind brands that were hiring plus designers. Brands who were really doing it and not just doing the Madewell version of inclusivity that’s not particularly inclusive and that is clearly something a marketing focus group told you to do. KyeshiaYeah, and I think a good example of sort of a brand that has really put in the effort is Anthropologie. Of course, they have room to do better and improve, but I think as far as being inclusive and also being, really on-brand with their plus style.VirginiaYes, I see what you’re saying. They definitely deliver the same level of fashion to the plus sizes and the straight sizes. There’s still often that thing of like, I wanted it in blue and only the straight size has it. Which is the whole economics piece that you and I talked about. KyeshiaIt’s hard. Within the community of plus size people, if we can start supporting the brands who actually run those extended size ranges, you put the data behind actually pushing forth that movement. Because I’ve talked to people. It’s such a nuanced conversation, because yes, it should be happening. We should have up to size 40. But it’s just the lack of dollars that the consumers put into supporting it. It’s hard to keep it alive.VirginiaIt’s such a catch-22. The products are not what people want, so they don’t buy them. But then the companies don’t have the sales, and around and around we go.KyeshiaSo in supporting the plus size fashion conversation, straight size women can advocate for their favorite brands to extend.

CHILDHOOD If Disney Channel taught me anything growing up, it's that I knew to anticipate my parent's conflation of their previously failed and now second chance at a career or dream manifesting its way into my own life and I would certainly have to dramatically break free. All of those “it's not my dream, dad, it's yours” Zac Efron bullshit? Ya. So if anyone wants to give me shit for enjoying the art of “performance”, please direct your attention to the talent show at Mary H. Matula Elementary school when I was in third grade where I sang “The Star Spangled Banner” in a fuzzy blue sweater and red velvet skirt, both from Limited Too. Beginning the performance in dedication to my grandfather, a 3 time war veteran whose career for the U.S. Army involves testifying to congress and intelligence briefings in the Pentagon. Accompanied by my grandmother, whose pianist and organ skills were utilized at virtually every religious congregation in the area as well as providing the orchestral production to the local theatre during musicals. Obviously, I fucking won. I've known how to emotionally manipulate a crowd my entire life. I think we can all agree that wasn't MY idea, either. I had wanted to learn the dance from the end of The Lizzie McGuire movie that Hilary and Haylie Duff performed with my best friend Shelby but nooooooo, that wasn't “talent show material”. So sit back, keep your arms and legs inside the ride at all times, strap in, and enjoy the ride of this shit show. Back to parents using their children to live vicariously through–Let's consider “sports” as a whole. How many parents, my own included, view sports as an “investment” instead of a healthy outlet for the natural human behavior of “competition”. Fuck “functional fitness” as a concept in childhood. Instead, we convince ourselves that children are just naturally predisposed to need so much fucking outlets for their aggression, focus, and drive that they WANT to be screamed at for 3 hours a day, 6 days a week in the pseudo-military, physique development training that is competitive gymnastics. I grew up in the fucking 90's, too. My parents were riding HARD on that Olympics Team USA dream. Simone Biles was asked why she didn't smile and she said “smiling doesn't win gold medals” and people were like “oh that's adorable, how cute” then a few months later we found out she'd been sexually molested by her trainer, along with hundreds of other athletes, for YEARS. Gymnastics literally operates as a way to funnel children, but especially young women, out of the “general populace” and into excessive athletic competitions that essentially require you to use performance to justify abuse. We're not like “oh shit, maybe this is a new method of child labor. There's no way this is healthy.” Instead, we just sit there and go “Yuuuuuppp. Abuse and performing for love is the norm. It'll be worth it. Gotta sacrifice everything if you actually want it”–without asking why the fuck we're requiring children (and their parents) to realize you're only THAT driven if you don't have other outlets for creative and artistic expression as well as emotional catharcism. Now, I bring this up because as I approach my 30's, and the unsolicited advice from older men on Seeking Arrangements remind me that “my looks won't last forever” (no shit, dude… that's when I'll rely more heavily on my MULTIPLE STEM DEGREES), I have hit a rather unfortunate realization that having once run 85 miles a week, and playing multiple sports a season for YEARS, and the sheer amount and brutality of CONTACT sports, including gymnastics and football, does not bode well for my long-term physical health in a for-profit healthcare system. I have put my body through HELL. I will likely need a double hip replacement before I

Working in the fashion industry can be brutal. The long days, late nights, and cutthroat competition can make balancing a fashion career and motherhood seem impossible.   But the reality is that women everywhere are finding ways to make it work. While there’s no magic answer for every situation, there are many ways to balance a career in fashion with being a mom.   In today’s episode, you’ll hear from Karrie Foley. Karrie has a successful career as a freelance fashion designer, and has done it all while raising four young children. She’s here to share some of her secrets for success!   In the interview (which you’ll love), we will cover: How Karrie got started working in the fashion industry Why a “top” fashion design school isn’t always the best option How Karrie managed to grow her career without living in New York or LA How she kept working after the birth of her first child What she did to get back into the fashion industry after taking three years off! How she jumped across fashion design categories and avoided getting pigeonholed What Karrie believes have been the keys to her continued success (Hint: You can do this too!) How she landed a great job right out of college Why it’s worth it to be kind in an unkind industry How Karrie is balancing her fashion design career with motherhood today And more!   STARTING RIGHT From a young age, Karrie Foley knew she wanted to work in the fashion industry. Like many young aspiring designers, she dreamed of attending Parsons or FIT. But when the time came for college, her parents encouraged her to stay open to other options. Karrie ultimately settled on the University of Cincinnati, and that decision would have a profound effect on the direction of her fashion career.   When she graduated, Karrie was able to turn an internship with Limited Too into a full-time job. From there, she went on to work for other big brands, including Disney Stores and Lane Bryant. LIFE HAPPENS     When Karrie became pregnant with her first child, she knew things would have to change. As a full-time fashion designer, she’d been working long hours that she knew she couldn’t sustain once her baby was born. She originally planned to resign. But her hard work, and her great relationship with her boss, lead to a rare part-time position. That gave her the opportunity to work in the fashion industry while raising her first and second children.     Karrie did eventually take time off when she had twins. But when she was ready, she managed to jump back into the industry--with multiple offers!   BALANCING ACT Today, Karrie works full-time hours as a freelance designer for Thirty-One Gifts. She puts a lot into her job, and still makes time to be there with her kids. While she doesn’t have a perfect life, Karrie shows us that it’s really possible to balance motherhood with a successful career in fashion.   Resources & People Mentioned Karrie’s Instagram Karrie on LinkedIn Karrie’s Facebook University of Cincinnati DAAP School of Design Thirty-One Gifts Enjoy the show?

If you can imagine a little girl in the neighborhood marching around with her to-do list and group activities this was me- Little Miss Bossy Pants. I vividly remember building a fort with my buddies in the lot across the street and then delegating to my friends where we would play games, where the rug should go and who would be responsible for the weekly sweeping. I kid you not- I was a little bossy then (I hate to admit) but very early on gravitated towards the leadership role. Fast forward, a year or two and I was tall, lanky and couldn't quite fit into any of the Limited Too clothes (shame) and my first business TTBT- Tough To Be Tall clothing line was formed, a modern day attempt at graphic design. The large shirts I purchased from Michaels with my ironed on logo were so stylish (not) and I made zero sales.  I learned quickly that fashion was not the future for me and filtered that energy into my second company and first marketing outreach, Twelve Lakes News at age 12. I brought in a team of friends as editors and we published a monthly neighborhood newsletter, full of family birthdays, block parties, safety updates, and advertising. Just some good old fashioned print marketing.  Let's jump ahead a few years....COLLEGE & SHORTLY AFTER I studied Entrepreneurship at Florida State University and loved the major. After graduation, I immediately relocated to Chicago to start my first company and to pursue my final project and business plan that I created my Senior semester. Weddings By Shan - later known as Peacock + Papaya - my first true jump into entrepreneurship and adulthood. It was great, I already knew my target market, my competitors and had determined a niche before the big move. I cracked out that to-do list notebook (again) and I was off to the Windy City. I loved Chicago (read: deep dish pizza) and I loved being a part of such happy memories.  BUT two blizzards in and too many cold walks around town, I made a shift and decided to move down South to Atlanta in hopes of opening up a second brand of the company. Ironically enough, pie tables were a really big trend in the wedding space up North and became the dessert of choice for my brides. Couple that with a huge sweet tooth, naturally my first inkling when I moved was to hunt for the best piece of pie. As a consumer I stumbled across a place called The Pie Shop. From their Facebook page it was hard to tell if they were open that day, what flavors they served and their location. Needless to say, they lost a customer that day solely because I relied on social media and didn’t want to pick up the phone to call. A couple too many bridezillas in and still a craving for pie, I stopped by a few weeks later. I fell in love with their chocolate ganache pie at first bite and started talking to the owner about my experience and the importance of building strong relationships with your target audience online. In my wedding planning career, social media had worked extremely well in attracting new clients, creating brand awareness and creating loyal customers. In between her next batch of chicken pot pies she asked if I could help, she feared she didn’t have the bandwidth, expertise or budget to work with some of the larger agencies in town and didn’t want to be just another business in their portfolio. Imagine Media was born that day and within the first month we had two other companies approach us with similar struggles. After more research, I quickly learned there was an under-served market, who craved a personable partnership, a young scrappy team and just weren’t quite ready to bring in someone full time -and- that’s how the (cookie) crust crumbled.... Now we're 3.5 years old- we work with a team of creative masterminds, at the coolest place in town (humble brag) and we have a portfolio of clients we love working with, proud to represent and who we learn from every day.
