In conversation with Spasia of @fivedotsvintage on the influence of Manolo Blahnik in pop culture and the eternal shoe, seeing her first pair of designer shoes in her 20s after leaving her home country, how our shoes define us emotionally and aesthetically, how the kitten heel made its way back into our lives after the high heels of the 2010s, the sex appeal of a slingback, most requested shoes, the reward of finding shoes for brides, our favourite shoe brands for everyday use and so much more

Step beyond the glossy facade of fashion into the fierce legal battlegrounds where iconic footwear brands fight tooth and nail to protect their signature designs. From the vibrant red soles of Christian Louboutin to the humble foam clogs of Crocs, the most recognizable shoes in the world have sparked global intellectual property wars with stakes in the millions.Louboutin's journey through courts worldwide reveals how differently countries interpret trademark protection. While his red sole secured recognition as a valid trademark in the US (but only when contrasting with the rest of the shoe), he faced defeat in France against Zara yet triumphed in the Netherlands and China. These jurisdiction-specific battles highlight how fragmented global IP protection can be, forcing brands to fight the same war on multiple fronts.The Manolo Blahnik saga in China demonstrates the perils of trademark squatting, with the legendary designer locked out of using his own name for 22 years until China's Supreme People's Court finally ruled in his favor in 2022. Meanwhile, Crocs transformed from counterfeit victim to accused party, first winning import bans against 20+ knockoff brands before facing accusations of falsely advertising patent protections they didn't possess.The digital age has created new pitfalls, as Puma discovered when Rihanna's Instagram posts of their collaborative Fenty Creeper invalidated their design protection in Europe by starting the clock on the 12-month disclosure grace period. Even tech innovations face fierce battles, with Nike aggressively protecting its Flyknit technology against competitors like Lululemon, while comfort-focused Skechers surprised everyone by successfully challenging luxury powerhouse Hermès over sole designs.These cases reveal crucial lessons for creators and businesses: secure your IP early and globally, develop truly distinctive designs that consumers immediately associate with your brand, understand how protection varies by country, and recognize that even seemingly mundane innovations can represent valuable intellectual property worth defending. Whether you're fascinated by fashion, intellectual property law, or business strategy, these high-stakes battles showcase how the soul of a brand often lies in its sole.Send us a text

Desde el emblemático rojo de las suelas Louboutin hasta las batallas judiciales de Manolo Blahnik por recuperar su propio nombre en China, este episodio expone los desafíos que enfrentan los gigantes del calzado cuando protegen su propiedad intelectual a nivel mundial.Descubrimos cómo Crocs transformó un diseño poco convencional en una fortaleza legal, bloqueando importaciones de imitaciones y estableciendo su distintivo zapato de agujeros como un activo protegible. También exploramos el caso fascinante de Puma y Rihanna, donde un simple post de Instagram invalidó años de esfuerzos legales, demostrando que en la era digital, el timing es crucial para la protección de diseños.Nos adentramos en la sorprendente decisión de Birkenstock de abandonar Amazon como protesta contra las falsificaciones, priorizando la integridad de su marca sobre las ventas inmediatas. Y analizamos cómo Nike mantiene su dominio tecnológico en el calzado deportivo a través de agresivas demandas contra competidores como Lululemon y Skechers por presuntas violaciones de patentes.La lección es clara: ya sea un tacón de diseñador o una sandalia cómoda, la propiedad intelectual se ha convertido en el campo de batalla definitivo para las marcas de calzado. Cada suela, correa y tecnología representa no solo innovación, sino potenciales millones en litigios. ¿Tu marca está preparada para defender cada paso que da en el mercado global?

April 2024, party for the College of Charleston. (Vintage Oscar de la Renta skirt, Cos blouse) 2024 has been a revolutionary year for me—apparently, even-numbered years tend to be life-changing. I describe it as revolutionary because it has brought me back to my core self. Now that I feel so well, I eagerly look forward to what 2025 will bring. I've heard that odd-numbered years are even better! (Of course, this prediction has no scientific basis; it's just my ultimate optimism and best wishes for everyone!)I recently had a conversation with a dear friend (I know she reads this, and I want to make sure she knows I'm listening!) who suggested I start sharing my style insights and some of the clothes I wear to inspire my age group—the older crowd. I'm incredibly flattered that she thinks I have this talent!However, I wouldn't be comfortable doing this on social media. I am way too private and inconsistent; I don't feel the need for adulation from people I don't know! My only reason for posting on Instagram is an easy way to stay in touch with friends I don't see regularly. I'm not trying to brand myself, nor do I share the details of where my clothes come from. Oh, and just to clarify, my account is private.Nevertheless, good advice deserves consideration, so I'm writing this post about my style and sharing a few of my dressing rules.I don't own a full-length mirror at home. I know, I know. As I get ready to go out, I look at myself in the bathroom mirror from the waist up, and in a mirror leaning against a wall for the waist down. Then, I take a photo with my phone to see if the whole look works. Sometimes, it does; other times, I have to rethink and change the entire outfit with only a few minutes to spare.I dress for myself (not for men or other women) and consider how I feel that day and the image I want to portray: elegant, glamorous, and confident. I don't want to scream anything; I want to be true to myself and feel comfortable in my clothes. That confidence allows me to walk into a room with my head held high and a smile. Feeling good is my only guiding principle.I love mixing high and low—should I say vintage and new? I repeat my clothes often and change accessories to fit the season and the event I'll be attending. Basics like black trousers, great blazers, and white blouses take me everywhere. Slim skirts work for both day and evening events, and I like prints that are perfect for hosting at home.I look for good-quality fabrics, shapes that fit my body type, and looks that are flattering to my 6-foot height. Sizing can be random; French clothes fit differently than Italian or Spanish ones. In American brands, I often have to size up. Even within designer clothing, patterns and fits can differ greatly. A dress from Oscar isn't the same as a dress from Carolina. Plus, I always have to purchase “tall” sizes in high-street stores. The point is that yes, size matters. Trying on clothes is essential to achieve the right fit.The questions I ask myself while choosing clothes are:- Is this going to last more than this year?- How often can I wear this?- Do I have other items to mix this with?- Can I dress it up or down?- Will it work in all the different places I usually travel to?A friend told me the other day that as she has aged, she feels like no one looks at her. She misses the attention from her younger years and feels “see-through.” To me, it's all about attitude and confidence. It's not about looking young but about looking appropriate and put-together. It's about wearing clothes that fit well and make you feel great. Clearly, at my age, I won't be wearing yoga pants or tank tops in public (or even in private, for that matter!).My body has changed, I have changed; my needs are different, and my message is no longer “Look at me,” but rather “Here I am.” Clothes tell the story you want others to know about you—how you feel, how you want them to see and perceive you, and what message you want to convey to the world. They act as both a shield that protects us and a subliminal message to those around us. Making an effort to look my best is part of my mental health. Wouldn't it be great if clothes were tax-deductible?I also love uniforms—a great pair of jeans, a perfect white shirt, a fitted blazer. With a good pair of moccasins and gold jewelry, I'm ready to take on the world!My advice? Try on your clothes, ensure they fit well, and clear your closet of anything that doesn't make you feel like a million bucks. You know the ones I mean, right? And then, wear those you keep on repeat. And with that, I leave you. Sincerely,The Serial HostessAlemais An Australian designer with wonderful prints made using natural linens and cotton.

Source: Manolo Blahnik Feminism: the Right to Choos In this episode, we delve into the evolving landscape of modern feminism, exploring themes from Manolo Blahnik Feminism and Not Liberating, After All: How Feminists Ended Up in Bed with Hugh Hefner. We'll discuss the intersections of sexual liberation, empowerment, and the potential contradictions within today's feminist movement. What does it mean to reclaim the sexual gaze, and are there unintended consequences of embracing raunch culture? Join us as we unpack these complexities and explore whether empowerment through sexual expression genuinely serves women's interests or if it leads to a deeper cultural hangover. Introduction to the topics of Manolo Blahnik Feminism and Raunch Culture. The empowerment narrative: reclaiming sexuality as a form of control. Ariel Levy's critique of raunch culture and the dangers it poses for the feminist movement. Contradictions: How does society, especially men, respond to these new expressions of femininity? The cultural hangover: the long-term societal impacts of sexual liberation. Comparison between early feminist goals and the modern feminist movement's emphasis on hypersexuality. Reflections on safety, objectification, and the empowerment paradox. The future of feminism: balancing sexual freedom with deeper feminist objectives. What is Manolo Blahnik Feminism? Manolo Blahnik Feminism refers to a form of feminism that emphasizes sexual freedom and outward confidence, often associated with fashion and sexual expression as a form of empowerment. Why is this form of feminism criticized? Critics argue that Manolo Blahnik Feminism may lead to further objectification of women by men, undermining its empowering intent and resulting in exploitation and increased vulnerability. What is 'raunch culture'? Raunch culture is a cultural trend where hyper-sexualized behavior, often associated with pornography and strippers, is normalized as a form of female empowerment. However, it may lead to unintended consequences, including reinforcing male-dominated dynamics. How do men perceive this form of feminism? While women may see sexual expression as empowerment, some men may view it as an invitation to exploit women, continuing old, patriarchal behaviors under a new guise. What are the long-term consequences of Manolo Blahnik Feminism and raunch culture? These movements could lead to a "cultural hangover," eroding trust, intimacy, and respect within relationships. This could ultimately diminish faith in institutions like marriage and family. Can sexual liberation and traditional feminist goals coexist? While both aim to empower women, sexual liberation that focuses on hyper-sexualized behavior may clash with traditional feminist goals of equality and combating objectification. Manolo Blahnik Feminism: A term coined to describe a branch of feminism that highlights sexual freedom and empowerment through physical appearance and fashion, symbolized by high-end fashion items like Manolo Blahnik shoes. Raunch Culture: A social phenomenon where explicit sexual behavior and imagery are normalized as a means of empowerment, often linked to stripper and porn-star aesthetics. Objectification: Treating individuals as objects of sexual desire, reducing them to their physical appearance or attractiveness. Empowerment: In the feminist context, it refers to gaining freedom and control over one's own choices, actions, and body. Gender Dynamics: The behaviors, attitudes, and power relations that society assigns based on gender roles. Cultural Hangover: The long-term negative effects that might follow a period of indulgence in behaviors that conflict with traditional values or emotional well-being. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/chrisabraham/support

Send us a Text Message.Anna Starmer talked to TCA about her vision on the future of color being more value-based where homogenous colors have no place and we select colors that fit our values, that are beautiful and endure the test of time. Anna Starmer has been guiding brand colour direction for over 25 years. Her colour library, client palettes and Luminary colour publications reveal the future thinking that will shape the future of colour and materials. She is a board member of the British Textile Colour Group, Intercolor and Interfilliere Salon de la Lingerie Paris. And sits on the colour futures panel for Dulux Paints.Beyond her books, Anna works directly with brands and retailers, manufacturers, organisations and universities. She understands the technical language of colour, from materials for Dualit or Volvo, to colours for Triumph Lingerie to Ikea. Communicating and visualising colour for brands and manufacturers, Anna has developed colour libraries for clients, from Manolo Blahnik to Marks and Spencer. Luminary Colour is the bi-annual publication and colour library, founded and created by Anna Starmer. The books and colour swatches are hand made in the UK to an exacting technical standard. Luminary has evolved organically from a future colour forecasting service with a 2-3 year ahead season, into a non-seasonal platform of inspiration and innovation; today we collaborate with botanical dyers, wild dye plant foragers, waste food pigments, waste material specialists and bio-colour innovators – featuring emerging colour swatches in every book.Colour and material futures sit at the heart of our creative practice, yet beauty is so much deeper than surface level.

Welcome back, lovers! After an in-depth discussion on the art of non-monogamy in last week's episode, Kayla Murphy has returned to the pod to answer another Carrie Bradshaw conundrum: are threesomes the new sexual frontier? Or are they just ways for men to get us to be lesbians for a night?

A man has entered the chat. The man of our dreams!!!! Gerardo Vallejo is joining us today to dive into Carrie's newest conundrum: In a city like New York, with its infinite possibilities, has monogamy become too much to expect?

Tara is stepping back in Carrie's shoes to break down The Power of Female Sex and the conundrum surrounding women who choose to trade companionship, partnership, or even sex for money. Is it okay for women to use their sexuality to get ahead whenever possible while men shouldn't be allowed to take advantage of it? Can you be addicted to a person? And what if you sense that someone is giving you a professional advantage because they find you charming?

In this episode of Style DNA I go on a style journey with the British jewellery designer, the founder of both Links of London and Annoushka, the Creative Director and Entrepreneur, Annoushka Ducas MBE.   I couldn't resist asking Annoushka her views on the difference between lab grown versus mined diamonds and how the jewellery industry is notoriously opaque…she talks about her passion for re-using existing stones from vintage jewellery and how all of her newly sourced diamonds are certified by the Kimberley Process (established in 2003 to prevent conflict diamonds entering the mainstream market) …but perhaps more importantly, the joy she still feels discovering new varieties of semi-precious stones …and how the experience of travelling to a pearl farm in the Philippines and learning about the whole process of cultivation of  golden pearls and the attention to detail and sheer hard labour that goes into pearl cultivation shone a whole new light on their beauty…   We laugh about the “trauma” of her mother's appearance at the school gates …this seems to be a recurring theme with my guests!  However, in time, some of her most precious pieces in her wardrobe are pieces that once belonged to her mother…   She talks about her first job, being a PA to her godfather Mark Birley (the supremely stylish founder of Annabels, Harry's Bar and Mark's Club) and how he took her to the then newly opened Manolo Blahnik on Old Church Street and treated her to 3 pairs of shoes to elevate her appearance…and we agree that by wearing just one really special piece (whatever that may be, jewellery, shoes or a jacket) can be transformative, and can totally up your game sartorially.    I ask her about the competition from the mega jewellery brands … she says that when she created Annoushka jewellery she purposefully positioned it between Links of London (silver) and the high jewellery brands like Cartier …  she knew she wanted to appeal to women to buy for themselves and she wanted her jewellery to have a very personal appeal with her clients… and there is nothing more personal than her My Life in Seven Charms collection…inspired by her love of Desert Island Discs…she refers to it as an 18ct gold autobiography of someone's life…just gorgeous.

Welcome back, lovers! It's time to sing for our supper. This week, Tara is joined by her newly engaged friend Kayla Murphy to dissect the : is there a secret cold war between marrieds and singles? What do people mean when they say "I just can't wait to be married"?

Dinner for Shoes is a podcast hosted by Sarah Wasilak, a fashion and food enthusiast with her mouth full. With appearances by her cats, Trish and Kit, and agendas that almost always go to shit, we aim to dive into a discussion about fashion and style and break some bread in each episode.  In episode 23, Trans Glam Girl Madison Werner on Celebrity Style + Self Expression, Sarah talks to Madison, who is a writer, queer advocate, and content creator. Having met on social media, Sarah, who lives in NY, and Madison, who's based in LA, have kept in touch and in contact about all things fashion, even playing a fun game of Sisterhood of the Traveling Crop Top. Sarah and Madison talk about the power of celebrity style and the brilliant ways in which we can embrace it and make it our own — particularly focusing on Kylie Jenner and Madison Beer. They also get into conversation about expressing identity through clothing, and the importance of staying true to yourself. Dinner for Shoes podcast episodes are released weekly on YouTube, Spotify, and Apple. You can follow along for updates, teasers, and more on TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook.

Sarah also introduces her guests to the new set of Dinner for Shoes while in the midst of the move, pinpointing objects in view that she transitioned into the new space (including Kit The Kitten, who makes her cameo at just the right time). While she hasn't been a smoothie lover historically, Sarah tries out the Diet Starts Today from Acai Ya Later in Hoboken, as it appears to be both a literal detox recipe and a figurative “Acai ya later” to her apartment in Jersey City.

She also gushes about some of her favorite designer looks she's loving from these new collections, and shares some thoughts about the inclusivity and representation this season at the shows. Finally, Sarah details all the street style looks she wore to hit the scene, all of which Boyfriend Nick described hilariously in a game called “My Boyfriend Judged My Fashion Week Looks.” Sarah's coffee indulgence, a Not Too Sober from Sober Shot in Jersey City, provides her with endless energy to make it through — and Kit gets to lick the cold foam top as a farewell treat.

Shakaila explains the meaning behind traditional Valentine's Day colors (i.e. shades of pink and red) and she analyzes outfits from years past, revealing what wearing specific silhouettes may present to the outside world. Sarah enjoys feta avocado toast and an almond croissant from Dream Vista Café in Jersey City, while discussing a virtual color analysis program called Coloured Confidence that producer Megan tested out. The results shed light on Megan's most flattering power colors, and Sarah suggests gifting the service to yourself as an act of self-love.

Sarah tests out three different hot chocolate beverages from Dunkin', Starbucks, and Hidden Grounds, ultimately choosing a favorite with her eyes closed. (Spoiler: she's very surprised by the results!) Finally, Sarah introduces her dinner guests to “the guys,” aka the animatronic Christmas plush characters that her family's been collecting for years.

Because of the disappointing history behind Thanksgiving, as well as the traditional dishes that we eat (which Sarah feels are foods in their worst form), it is simply not up to par with the other Hallmark holidays — at least in the Dinner for Shoes book. However, she makes light of the situation by putting her own spin on a turkey takeout order, styling a fitting look inspired by Halle Bailey, and sharing some fashion content from Thanksgivings past.

She discusses the look she teamed with her medal after she earned it and proceeded to hobble out to the bars to celebrate. She also touches on “marathon fashion,” and explains what she saw fellow runners wear to take on the big race. Of course, the outfit and shoes she wears to enjoy a Nathan's hotdog and fries make for her favorite look, which is both a nod to the Big Apple and New Balance, the brand that sponsored her run.

With appearances by her cats, Trish and Kit, and agendas that almost always go to shit, we aim to dive into a discussion about style and break some bread in each episode.  In episode four, Sundae Funday + Swift Szn, Sarah breaks down the phenomenon that is Tayvis, aka Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's relationship and its impact on football, Sunday Funday, and her own personal stress levels. For dinner, Sarah designates three different ice cream brands as “teams,” choosing flavors that get a lot of hype, and ultimately deciding which one comes out on top. Kit also gets a taste of the ice cream sundae, but does not get to choose a winner. Finally, Sarah determines whether or not Swift and Kelce should continue to make style references to one another when they're off-duty, based on her research and knowledge about the fashion brands they often wear.

She also pinpoints her favorite looks and discusses some of the designer shakeups at each house, such as Sabato De Sarno's debut for Gucci. It's also the first time Phillip Lim has shown a runway collection at New York Fashion Week since 2019. She tries very hard to pronounce everyone's name correctly. Sarah “wraps” up Fashion Month by twisting open a mini bottle of Sutter Home Pinot Grigio and ordering a fried chicken Caesar wrap from Alessio's Cafe in Hoboken.

(Kind of.) Sarah explains why she feels slightly jaded when it comes to attending runway shows (most of which are lacking in body diversity), rushing all over NYC in taxi cabs, and watching street style stars peacock. However, she also sheds light on the excitement and camaraderie that comes with watching a designer proudly unveil their art.  Dinner for Shoes podcast episodes are released weekly every Tuesday on YouTube, Spotify, and Apple.

From his studio in Dania Beach, Florida, Rob Stern creates his signature Windstar sculptures, dedicated to his father, a consummate stargazer fascinated by cosmic phenomena. Stern was also inspired by his surname, which means star in German. The artist often names his stars to reveal their celestial spheres. Copernica is derived from Copernicus, visible in the evening sky over Miami Beach. Polaris, known as the North Star, is the brightest in the constellation of Ursa Minor. Antares is the 15th brightest star in the night sky and is part of the constellation Scorpius. Other Windstar titles conjure colors and experiences, such as Red Dawn, which takes its name from a glowing red center or Modra, the Czech word for blue. Stern's Windstars are a testament to his deep understanding of glass and belief that the material takes him where it wants to go during the making process. Another iconic body of work, Stern's Stilettos, was inspired by his wife's vast collection of designer shoes that includes Manolo Blahnik, Jimmy Choo, and Alexander McQueen. However, these glass slippers are even more extreme with wild bejeweled designs that could make even Lady Gaga swoon.  Stern states: “My creative endeavors and sculptures are mere stepping stones towards my search for understanding life. Harmonic instances between what I sense and do are the signals that guide me through my processes and prompt daily decisions. My works act as a communicative device which seeks to connect my thoughts and my actions to the collective human consciousness. A path seeking insight and enlightenment carries me forwards and always seems to bring me back to the glass.” His mother an art teacher and father a filmmaker, Stern attended Northside High School for Performing Arts in Atlanta, Georgia, where he was part of an elite group that performed internationally. He later pursued visual arts, receiving a BFA from San Francisco State University (1989) and an MFA from the University of Miami (2003). Other glass training includes a five-year apprenticeship with John Lewis Glass, Oakland, California, where he trained to be a metal fabricator and expert glass caster/cold-worker. Stern went on to assist Czech master Petr Novotny and worked in the Czech glass factories as a designer/maker for two years. The artist also assisted or collaborated with many masters such as Dale Chihuly, William Morris, Martin Blank, Richard Royal, Richard Jolley, Dante Marioni, Therman Statom, Stanislav Libensky, Rene Roubicek, and Vladimir Klien, among many others. Lecturing at the University of Miami for 10 years, Stern also acted as interim professor at University of Texas Arlington in 2009. He has frequented the premier glass institutions, most notably Pilchuck Glass School, Stanwood, Washington, for a 30-year consecutive run where he has taught, been a gaffer, TA, AA, and worked with the most notable international artists. Dedicated to education, the artist has also taught at the Corning Museum of Glass, New York; the Penland School of Craft, North Carolina; The Glass Furnace, Istanbul, Turkey; Bildwerk Frauenau, Germany; and Ways of Glass, Czech Republic. Stern designed and created many centerpiece collections for various institutions including Pilchuck in 2011, and he received the Amazon award for his Pilchuck auction piece in 2021. This year he has a prominent piece in Pilchuck's October Auction. Currently involved in long-term residencies at YZ Center for the Arts, China, and Bezaiten Arts Center in Lake Worth, Florida, Stern will serve as the future director of glass at The Dania Art Park, now in development. Meanwhile he and his team design and create original sculpture, architectural commissions, and unique lighting that has been commissioned, exhibited, and collected internationally. Recently, the artist participated in Habatat Gallery's Glass 51 exhibition, and several of his works were acquired by Imagine Museum in St. Petersburg, Florida. Eighty of his pieces have become part of the permanent collection of the Weiner Museum of Decorative Arts (WMODA), Dania Beach, Florida. Says Stern: “My aesthetic resides at the crossroads where humans and nature intersect. Between organic and angular, a space connects the temporary man-made to the pre-existing and eternal cosmos. Here, we begin to measure our perspective and contemplate the perception of our place in the world as it is one that is always changing with the evolution of space, light, and time. I venture to capture moments with materials that speak to a fleeting sensibility of the permanence or importance of this balancing act. Color and form dictate emotion, and humanity is transcended as we reflect in the inherent rhythm and fractal patterning in this natural world. My constant observation of details persuades my attention to nuances in an attempt to mimic the complexity of its simplicity.”  Stern's work will be exhibited at Kittrell Riffkind in Dallas, Texas, in April 2024.  

Keyaira Miller, Lead Business Partner at Target, brings a broad set of Retail experiences and expertise spanning over 16 years within the areas of Buying, Sourcing, Product Development and Brand Management. Keyaira is a Lead Business Partner on the Merchandising Vendor Development Team at Target Headquarters. In her current role, she is responsible for sourcing, connecting, growing and amplifying emerging diverse and/or women owned brands to support Target's merchandising strategies and drive inclusive assortment for Target's diverse guests. Her notable and most recent work includes helping curate Target's Black History Month Assortments, Tabitha Brown's Limited Time Apparel and Food launches and Target's Activation booths and programming at Essence Fest in New Orleans. Keyaira has a passion for retaining and growing brands, allowing them to reach their fullest potential by empowering them with the right foundational tools, partners and resources in hopes that it creates a space to fuel generational wealth and drive economic vitality and equity. Prior to Target, Keyaira was at Amazon Fashion, leading the Women's Product Development team within Private Brands. Much of what Keyaira loves is involved with collaboration and connection. Assembling a team with gifts different than mine, who shine in ways I don't have, has been both inspiring and crucial to my success. Keyaira is a 2002 Graduate of West High school in Waterloo, IA and has degrees from The University of Northern Iowa and The Academy of Arts University. Keyaira currently resides in Waterloo with her loving husband and 10-year-old old son. Here's what we covered on the episode: How I met Keyaira when she was speaking at a panel at The Black and Brown Summit, a local event I attended in earlier this year, and I wondered how a girl from Iowa got to work with brands at Target Keyaira shares that at an early age she was always was interested in fashion, and was fascinated by how fashion worked She knew that the University of UNI had a great fashion and textiles program and the program showed her the familiarity she needed to know to get the opportunities she wanted Initially, she was interested in the buying part of fashion and she got her first opportunities by networking and cold calling, as this was before the opportunity By building up her network, working in retail in high school, she got her first opportunity in the field at Target in Minneapolis Melissa and Keyaira shared the same experience of not having an awareness of big fashion brands like Louis Vuitton or Manolo Blahnik growing up in Iowa until we saw Sex and the City Keyaira used her experience working at Victoria's Secret when she was younger and worked as an intern for Von Maur How she got laid off from Target after a few months during the recession, but they called her back shortly after Knowing Yourself, Knowing Your Wealth, and Knowing the Shelf Why it's important for Keyaira to equip the brand she works with to be successful at any retailer that they chose, showing them how to know themselves, know their wealth and know the shelf Know yourself: do you know yourself and do you have the capacity + capability to really scale in retail?  Being “retail ready” means you must be ready to get a retailer a shipment of 20,000 units in less than 2 weeks when they're ready to give you a PO, your answer should be yes Know your wealth: You really have to be truthful and honest with yourself that you're in the right place to be in retail, as it could put you out of business if you're not ready Know the shelf: you must understand your competition and understand the retailer where you want to be. Where do you want your product to be placed? Go there and take a picture to see if it fits there.    Melissa shared how she learned through her own desire to start a mascara line, but she decided to put that on hold Keyaira shares that she currently works within food and beverage, but may crossover in apparel, beauty and more Why Melissa is excited to learn more about what Keyaira does because it helps her and her audience learn how the retail sourcing process works The ins and outs of how Keyaira's team at Target works How Keyaira's team works with retail-ready brands, and learns more about them, like what their costs are, what retailers they're already in, and making sure that they're aligning brands that match the merchant strategies Each merchant or buyer has a strategy they want to follow, for example, bringing in more diverse brands for rice and beans Keyaira shares how she finds out about up and coming brands events, online and has a collaborative conversation with her merchant and buyer, who have the final say on who makes the final decision If they're interested in a brand, then Keyaira helps them get ready for a line review, and making a great impression and staying in touch with your buyer to continue the conversation Why Keyaira recommends brands have patience in the retail process; buyers change hands all the time, timing is everything and next year it could fit right into the new strategy How over the years of talking to vendors and understanding why it's so important to know yourself before you start a business, even though in this day and age anyone can start a business Keyaira shares an example of a luxury brand who was already on the shelf at Saks, and how they were adamant about being on the shelf at Target, but it wasn't really a fit for the brand Why having the awareness that as your business scales, your team must scale as well, or knowing when you need to bring in a distributor, and being able to re-evaluate your business on a consistent basis Keyaira's perspective on partnerships Keyaira shares an example of a how they did a small activation with Coca-Cola and to amplify black-owned brands like Ghetto Gastro with food demos, and created a moment with guests to have a connection and wanted to have a Coke The goal now is to drive guest discoverability with classic, iconic brands to drive awareness to brands like Ghetto Gastro How Target works with organizations like WBENC, and why those partnerships are crucial to the success because it's another layer that helps creates success and inclusivity  Melissa shares that her experience at Dress for Success Worldwide opened her eyes to different brand activations and partnerships that were out there and happening in the real world  How a lot of what Keyaira does is organic and fluid; but how her role and the area of business and the human centric approach matters, and why that's missing from a lot of brands  Why Keyaira loves meeting new brands and learning more about them Why inclusive design matters How inclusive design has been around for a long time, but now it's getting recognition it deserves Why there's power in leaning into inclusive design, and why it's a huge misconception, for example, that all black-owned brands are only designed for black people A lot of times, the brand is only serving products for everyone Why Keyaira recommends that brands celebrate heritage, and how data shows that buyers wanna support brands that have that messaging that celebrate heritage Why brands are now putting the logos of the causes they support and the certifications you have on your packaging Buyers are looking to bring cultures together; and how Target is seeing data that backs it up Why it's important for brand to have inclusive brands, inclusive products and as it relates to design and branding, it's not going away Why more retailers are going to lean into it more, and why brands should lean to it, be authentic to it, showcase it and not hide it  Sometimes when brands get ready to be inside of a retailer, they want to change their mission statement but there's beauty in who you are, and stay authentic to your brand and yourself  How you can connect with Keyaira on Instagram or send her a message at keyaira.k.miller@gmail.com Links mentioned: Connect with Keyaira on Instagram Learn more about Keyaira's role at Target   Like what you heard?  Click here to subscribe + leave a review on iTunes.
