This week on Let's Get Dressed, I'm sitting down with Joseph Altuzarra just days after his latest New York Fashion Week show. We talk about what 20 years in fashion really looks like when you're running an independent brand, why people keep saying “NYFW is dead,” and what it actually costs to put on a show today.Joseph shares how he thinks about staying relevant without chasing hype, the reality of pay-to-play celebrity culture, and why he's calling this his “year of yes.” We also get personal — from fame and comparison to what it feels like to be 42 and still building. Plus: Heated Rivalry, Wuthering Heights, whether fashion is psychic, and his best advice for anyone who wants to work in the industry.Follow Joseph on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/josephaltuzarra/Follow Altuzarra on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/altuzarra/Shop Altuzarra here https://altuzarra.comThanks to Banana Republic for my favorite pieces from the spring collection.

New York Fashion Week isn't dead, but it is changing. In this solo NYFW recap, Victoria breaks down what felt different this season and how Fashion Week is getting too expensive. From major brands like Ralph Lauren and Marc Jacobs showing off-schedule, Thom Browne showing in San Francisco, brands giving away show tickets leading to how NYFW could be evolving into an “Art Basel”-style citywide experience. She also shares the fashion tech + retail innovation that caught her eye, the behind-the-scenes realities of how outfits (and glam) actually happen during Fashion Week, and the pop-ups + community events that proved NYFW is increasingly about access, culture, and connection not just runway invites.Follow Fashion & Founders:Podcast IG: @fashionandfoundersPodcast Substack: Fashion and FoundersPodcast Website: fashionandfounders.comPodcast TikTok: @fashionandfoundersPodcast LinkedIn: Fashion and FoundersPodcast YouTube: Fashion and FoundersPodcast Links: Shop MyGlamsquad:Code: FASHIONANDFOUNDERS for $20 offRent the Runway:Code: RTRXVSMITH50and get 50% off your first month!Rebecca Minkoff episode on fashion week being to expensiveHEREThanks for listening!

This week, with New York Fashion Week wrapped up, Jill is joined by Silvano Vangi, creative and merchandising director at Printemps New York, to get a buyer's perspective on this season's NYFW. While fashion week has slowly transformed into a consumer-facing PR and marketing moment for brands, forging relationships with retail buyers like Vangi is still an important part of hosting a show. Vangi explained his thoughts on the brands and shows he saw and what's exciting him about the fashion market right now.

On Sunday afternoon—just hours before the Super Bowl and Bad Bunny's electrifying performance— Vogue's book club members gathered at the SVA Theatre in Chelsea for a special preview of Wuthering Heights. The screening was followed by an insightful conversation for The Run-Through between director Emerald Fennell and Chloe, in which they compared Emily Brontë's gothic novel with Fennell's film adaptation.Drawing on literary scholarship and her own childhood memories of the book, Fennell explained why she chose to lean into its sadomasochistic undercurrents. “There's a quote from Daphne du Maurier in which she describes Wuthering Heights as a kind of sexless book. But I've never experienced it that way. That's part of the novel's magic—everyone who reads it takes away something slightly different. For me, the sexual power dynamics are extremely explicit.”Fennell's version makes several notable departures from the classic text. Isabella Linton emerges as a more dynamic character (Fennell joked that she's “more of an Isabella than a Cathy”), and the adaptation omits both Nelly's first-person narration and the novel's second half (William Wyler did it first!). Perhaps the most memorable addition, however, is the inclusion of crushed eggs beneath bed sheets – an “inside joke” between lovers Heathcliff and Cathy. Fennell revealed that she volunteered to sit on them herself during filming. “Somebody has to do it, and I don't want my crew to have to sit on a bunch of eggs, so I'm like, I'll do it,” she said.Earlier in the episode, Chloe and Chioma catch up on their two iconic covers released this week: powerhouse pop star Rosalía (Chloe's first print issue for Vogue) and Bhavitha Mandava, the newest model taking over the fashion industry. Chloe also previews the NYFW schedule, highlighting Rachel Scott's Proenza Schouler show as one to watch, while Chioma recounts her morning, which included breakfast with Jill Biden.

In this episode of the Tick Boot Camp Podcast, Dr. Eric D. Gordon — globally recognized expert in Lyme disease, ME/CFS, mold toxicity, MCAS, mitochondrial dysfunction, and complex chronic illness — explains why chronic illness is never caused by a single factor and why recovery requires a strategic “order of operations.” Recorded after meeting at Project Lab Coat during NYFW, this conversation dives into chronic inflammation, immune dysregulation, why some people stay sick for years, why certain treatments backfire, how metabolomics reveals dysfunction that standard tests miss, and the future of individualized chronic illness care. Guest Bio Medical Director, Gordon Medical Associates, and President, Gordon Medical Research Center Dr. Gordon has 45+ years of experience treating the most complex chronic illness cases. He specializes in: Lyme disease and tick-borne infections ME/CFS and post-infectious illness Mold and mycotoxin exposure Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) Autoimmune disease Environmental illness Mitochondrial dysfunction and metabolic collapse He co-authored the landmark 2016 PNAS metabolomics study with Dr. Robert Naviaux, which reshaped global understanding of ME/CFS and chronic inflammatory diseases. Key Topics Covered How Dr. Gordon became one of the world's leading chronic illness clinicians Why patient belief and validation are foundational to healing Why chronic illness cases don't fit conventional medical models Why herbs often worsen symptoms in MCAS or inflamed patients When pharmaceuticals help stabilize sensitive patients How chronic inflammation blocks trace mineral absorption The link between minerals, B vitamins, mitochondria, and NAD/NADH When detoxification helps — and when it causes more harm How childhood infections and environment shape lifelong immunity The massive impact of modern microbiome disruption Mold illness as the “great derailer” of Lyme treatment Why genetics like MTHFR and HLA are not destiny Why some people heal from Lyme without treatment How metabolomics and AI will usher in precision medicine What actually keeps people sick — accumulated compensations, not the tick bite What intuitive patients get right (and wrong) about their symptoms Timestamps 0:02 – Meeting Dr. Gordon at Project Labcoat 1:08 – Who he is and how he entered complex illness medicine 2:30 – Realizing conventional medicine fails chronic patients 5:45 – Why chronic illness doesn't fit standard algorithms 8:10 – Herbs vs antibiotics: what most people misunderstand 11:28 – Inflammation and why sensitive patients react to everything 13:45 – MCAS and immune overactivation 16:25 – Why herbal formulas can trigger flares 19:30 – Pharmaceuticals that calm inflammation 20:50 – Trace minerals, mitochondrial function, and NAD pathways 23:55 – Why standard labs can't see cellular dysfunction 26:10 – How childhood immune experiences shape resilience 28:40 – Environmental changes and microbiome decline 30:30 – Shoes, posture, fascia, lymphatics 36:35 – Structural healing and hypersensitive patients 41:20 – Founding Gordon Medical Associates 43:00 – Early discoveries with Lyme disease patients 48:30 – Detoxification, herbal protocols, and mold models 52:10 – Mold's ability to halt all progress 55:30 – Why mold affects some family members and not others 57:20 – How food supply antibiotics disrupt immunity 59:50 – Genetics are possibilities, not fate 1:03:20 – Why some people recover after a tick bite and others don't 1:07:00 – How AI and metabolomics will transform treatment 1:10:40 – Genes vs environment 1:13:30 – Chronic illness requires many small steps 1:16:00 – How to work with Dr. Gordon 1:18:30 – Final message of hope Pull Quotes “Chronic illness is not caused by one thing — and it's never healed by one thing.” “Herbs depend on your body's ability to modulate inflammation. If you can't dampen the fire, herbs feel like gasoline.” “Genetics are not destiny. They're possibilities.” “Mold makes every other treatment look like it's failing.” “You can absolutely get well — but there is no single magic bullet.” Call to Action If this episode brought you clarity or hope, please share it with someone navigating chronic Lyme, mold illness, MCAS, or ME/CFS.

Pop artist and model Austin Halls joins Lily and Erin for a funny, candid conversation about music, face difference, and building a career that actually works. Born with Möbius syndrome (complete facial paralysis at birth), Austin talks about growing up with media that coded face differences as villainy, and how that shaped first impressions, assumptions, and everyday interactions.Austin's answer is art and access. His dance-pop track “Disabled” flips the script with a hook that invites everyone onto the floor, shifting from pity narratives to unapologetic confidence. He shares how fashion and stagecraft became tools of self-expression, why “success ≠ cured,” and how to handle lateral ableism when visibility rises.From Runway of Dreams and New York Fashion Week to mentorship with RAMPD and a seat at the GRAMMYs (now a Recording Academy voting member), Austin shows what practical pathways look like: make the room workable, choose teams who get it, and insist on authentic casting rather than performances of disability. Key Moments02:20 Audio descriptions and why on-mic context matters03:11 Writing “Disabled”: reclaiming a word with a dance-pop hook08:39 Breaking the villain trope for face difference in media11:47 “Command the room”: reframing visibility as an advantage18:01 Beyond pity narratives: success for talent, not sympathy clicks27:46 Runway of Dreams to NYFW: firsts and why fashion became a tool31:08 Success doesn't cancel disability: on lateral ableism40:46 RAMPD mentorship to the GRAMMYs: from guest to voting member45:45 Why empathy and perspective shape the work (and the wins)49:51 Finding community: from resisting it to the Möbius Conference pivot55:53 Real-world friendship and the lift of being in the same roomConnect with Austin HallsWebsite: https://austinhalls.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/austinhalls Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theaustinhalls/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@austinhalls?lang=en YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@AustinHalls Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/1wuAlAwVjnnmeNJ1NiaMSF?autoplay=true RAMPD: https://rampd.org/profile/austin-halls

On today's show, we're chatting with Janelle Abbott, the artist and designer behind JRAT. Raised in her parents' Seattle clothing factory, Janelle grew up with an early respect for the labor that goes into making clothing. After graduating from Parsons, she rejected corporate fashion, choosing a radically sustainable, zero-waste path. Through her brand JRAT, she transforms discarded and found materials into one-of a-kind garments – her work merges activism, art, and performance—as she exposes fast fashion's farce through garment reclamation, reminding us that all garments are human artifacts. In this conversation, we're diving into Janelle's journey from growing up surrounded by sewing machines to her own craft in zero-waste design. We'll talk about how her design education shaped her view of the fashion industry, her creative process for sourcing and transforming discarded textiles, and what it really means to practice zero-waste pattern making. Plus, Janelle shares stories about her favorite finds, and why she wants people to be in love with clothes that already exist. Plus so much more. Let's dive right in! DISCUSSED IN THE EPISODE: [2:06] Janelle loved fashion from a young age, growing up in her parents' Seattle clothing factory. [8:14] How thrifting with her mom at St. Vincent de Paul became their bonding time [10:08] Learning to sew at age seven and the freedom to experiment with reworking clothes [12:31] Why she decided to pursue fashion at Parsons despite knowing firsthand how hard the industry is [18:34] Learning zero-waste pattern drafting [24:04] Taking a seven-year detour to avoid monetizing her creative work [28:15] Her creative process for sourcing and transforming discarded textiles [33:23] Her special upcycling techniques [39:45] JRAT's latest NYFW show, Pretty Ugly Princess, inspired by the 1990s board game [53:09] Personal style, and the pieces that make it into her own closet.

In this special Tick Boot Camp Podcast episode recorded live at Project Lab Coat during New York Fashion Week (NYFW), we sit down with Colonel Nicole Malachowski, USAF (Ret.). Col. Malachowski, the first female pilot of the USAF Thunderbirds and a Lyme patient advocate, walked the runway with us at Project Lab Coat and served as the sole patient representative on the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine committee that authored the landmark report on Lyme infection-associated chronic illness (Lyme IACI). She shares her perspective on why this recognition is a historic milestone for the Lyme community. What You'll Learn in This Episode Why the term Lyme IACI (infection-associated chronic illness) matters and how it creates an inclusive umbrella for persistent symptoms after Lyme infection. How the National Academies report represents the first time the U.S. government has officially recognized Lyme IACI. What it was like for Col. Malachowski to serve as the sole patient representative on the committee alongside scientists and clinicians. Why the report calls for running treatment trials in parallel with biomarker discovery so patients are not left waiting. How collaboration with long COVID and ME/CFS communities can accelerate solutions and strengthen advocacy. The role of AI and machine learning in analyzing patient data, biobanks, and surveys to identify new diagnostics and repurposed therapies. Why visibility at NYFW Project Lab Coat signals growing mainstream recognition of Lyme disease. About Col. Nicole Malachowski Col. Malachowski is a retired U.S. Air Force fighter pilot, the first woman selected to fly with the USAF Thunderbirds, and a National Women's Hall of Fame inductee. After contracting a tick-borne illness and being medically retired, she became a nationally recognized speaker and advocate for Lyme patients. She served as the sole patient voice on the National Academies committee that authored the landmark report on Lyme IACI, commissioned with support from the Steven & Alexandra Cohen Foundation. About Project Lab Coat at New York Fashion Week Project Lab Coat was a groundbreaking event held on September 13, 2025, during New York Fashion Week (NYFW). The show brought together prominent celebrities, researchers, doctors, and advocates who were invited to walk the runway to spotlight Lyme disease and raise funds for Lyme disease research. For the first time, the global visibility of NYFW was used to highlight one of the fastest-growing infectious diseases in the world. Tick Boot Camp co-founders Matt Sabatello and Rich Johannesen, together with Dr. Tal, walked the runway at Project Lab Coat, joining leaders from medicine, science, entertainment, and advocacy. Project Lab Coat demonstrated the power of mainstream platforms to bring awareness, credibility, and resources to the fight against Lyme disease. Key Takeaways Federal recognition matters – Lyme IACI in a National Academies report marks a turning point in credibility and urgency. Patients at the center – clinical trials must include patients from design through reporting. Collaboration is key – linking Lyme, long COVID, ME/CFS, and other infection-associated conditions strengthens progress. Do both now – pursue biomarkers and cures while also running treatment studies to help patients immediately. Technology accelerates hope – AI and machine learning can unlock insights from existing patient data.

Lucinda Pikkat is joined by Mamamia's uber-stylish entertainment writer, Chelsea Hui to unpack what the "Big 4" fashion weeks in New York, London, Milan & Paris actually mean for your wardrobe. They're diving into the most wearable (and weirdest) trends to come off the catwalk, from the surprising return of controversial 2010s styles—yes, peplum tops and distressed denim are officially back—to the rise of hyper-practical "utility accessories" like necklaces that double as card holders. And we wouldn't be a fashion podcast if we didn't discuss Anna Wintour stepping down as Head of Editorial Content at American Vogue.

In this special Tick Boot Camp Podcast episode recorded live at Project Lab Coat during New York Fashion Week (NYFW), we sit down with Dr. Michal “Mikki” Caspi Tal, Principal Scientist in the Department of Biological Engineering at MIT and Associate Scientific Director of the MIT Center for Gynepathology Research. Dr. Tal is an immunologist and immunoengineer whose groundbreaking research focuses on the connections between infections and chronic diseases, including Lyme disease and long COVID. At her Tal Research Group lab, she studies why some people recover quickly after infection while others develop chronic illness, with a focus on the immune system's different responses in men and women. What You'll Learn in This Episode How Dr. Tal's lab uses mouse models of chronic Lyme and a large clinical study to take a deeper look at Lyme disease. Why some patients make a protective immune response while others develop catastrophic responses like dysautonomia, MCAS, gynecological issues, or clotting disorders. How her team is moving beyond “yes/no” antibody tests to create new biomarker diagnostics that can guide treatments. Why sex differences matter in chronic illness and why women are more likely to experience long-term symptoms after infection. How her research could lead to more personalized treatment approaches for Lyme disease patients by grouping individuals based on immune response patterns. What samples (blood, saliva, sweat, tissue) her team is collecting at MIT to uncover new insights into chronic Lyme disease. Why this research brings hope to Lyme patients who feel unseen and unheard. About Dr. Michal Caspi Tal Principal Scientist, MIT Department of Biological Engineering Associate Scientific Director, MIT Center for Gynepathology Research Focus areas: Lyme disease, long COVID, chronic inflammatory diseases, sex differences in immune response, predictive diagnostics Background: PhD in Immunobiology from Yale (mentored by Dr. Akiko Iwasaki), postdoctoral training at Stanford (Irving Weissman lab), infectious disease research leader at Stanford's Institute for Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine. Awards: NIH NIAID F31 and F32 Fellowships, Bay Area Lyme Foundation Emerging Leader Award About Project Lab Coat at New York Fashion Week Project Lab Coat was a groundbreaking event held on September 13, 2025, during New York Fashion Week (NYFW). The show brought together prominent celebrities, researchers, doctors, and advocates who were invited to walk the runway to spotlight Lyme disease and raise funds for Lyme disease research.

Project Lab Coat demonstrated the power of mainstream platforms to bring awareness, credibility, and resources to the fight against Lyme disease. Why This Episode Matters For too long, chronic Lyme patients have been told their symptoms are “all in their head.” Dr. Tal's work at MIT proves otherwise by measuring the real biological differences in immune system responses. This research not only validates patients' experiences but also charts a course toward better diagnostics, clinical trials, and personalized treatments.

In Dinner for Shoes episode 81, host Sarah Wasilak takes you inside New York Fashion Week — from the shows she attended and the outfits she wore to the Spring/Summer 2026 trends designers sent down the runway (think pouf sleeves, scuba chic, and a whole lot of crinkle). Along the way, she weighs in on the evolving culture of Fashion Week and why she cares more about the runway bow than the pre-show schmoozing.

Designer Daniella Kallmeyer has been building her namesake label Kallmeyer for over a decade, from less than $7,000 into one of New York's most exciting labels with two thriving stores and a devoted following. Fresh off a buzzed-about NYFW show, a CFDA nomination for Womenswear Designer of the Year, and Zoe Kravitz in a custom pink dress, Daniella shares how she's redefining luxury on her own terms - with a focus on cut, craft, and creating a wardrobe that women actually want to live in. We also chat about the grind behind so-called “overnight success,” the romance of retail, and how restraint might just be the secret to success.See Kallmeyer's recent collection here https://www.vogue.com/fashion-shows/spring-2026-ready-to-wear/kallmeyer, and follow the brand on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/kallmeyerofficial/Get 20% an annual membership of my new substack Let's Get Dressed here https://letsgetdressed.substack.com/lgdLove the show?

Welcome back to another episode of The Haute Guide! Today I'm breaking down the latest fashion headlines and giving my take on New York Fashion Week. From Jaden Smith being named the first men's creative director for Christian Louboutin and the conversation of whether celebrities deserve these roles or should stick to being brand ambassadors, to SZA stepping into creative direction with Vans, KBB by Kahlana's launch at Target in the middle of their DEI fallout, Chloe Malle stepping in as Vogue's new editor while Vogue Runway moves behind a paywall, and DSW's attempt to rebrand in a struggling retail climate. I'm also talking about what it really means for influencers to become editors, and why I had to make the decision not to attend NYFW this season. Key Moments: Jaden Smith's appointment at Louboutin and if celebrity creative directors are truly qualified SZA taking on creative direction at Vans KBB by Kahlana's Target launch and the conflict of supporting Black designers through problematic retailers Chloe Malle as Vogue's new editor and the shift toward quarterly issues Vogue Runway moving behind a paywall and the backlash around access to fashion coverage DSW's rebrand with new stores, logo, and in-store customization in a collapsing retail climate The ongoing debate of influencers becoming editors and whether they are actually doing the work Why I chose not to attend New York Fashion Week this season and what that says about fashion's accessibility Next Week Sneak Peek: I'll be diving into Project Runway plus a roundup of the latest fashion news.

Rocky and Rachel have a lot to debrief. From the reality of NYFW (spoiler: it feels like high school on steroids), the Secret Life of Mormon Wives cast taking over TV, Love Thy Nader, and Dancing With the Stars' stacked lineup—including the potential new thruple of Hilaria, Gleb, and Alec Baldwin. We chat hot new (and maybe fake) couples like Zoe Kravitz & Harry Styles and Austin Butler & EmRata, plus engagement rings—Taylor's “modest” 8 carat mine-cut diamond & Elsa Hosk's huge Tiffany halo. All whilst Halloween drama kicks off early: Rachel's kids' requests might just get her cancelled and the chaos of Rocky making nine costumes for our friend group by hand. Hosted on Acast.

As New York Fashion Week comes to a close, our Vogue editors are still reeling from all the shows and events of the season. Today on The Run-Through, Nicole Phelps and Chloe Malle walk through some of the standouts, and share what they see as emerging trends.“It's not like quiet luxury is back,” observed Phelps, “but there's definitely a really strong strain of clean, pure minimalism.”From Cos to TOTEME to Ralph Lauren, the impact of Scandinavian designers was in full force on the runway. But it wasn't all muted palettes thanks to shows from Ulla Johnson, Off-White and Area! “I do want people to have a good time when they're wearing my things” Nicolas Aburn said on his debut. We also dig into the star-studded parties and front rows (oh, hi Oprah and Gayle!) that will no doubt continue throughout the rest of fashion month. The Run-Through with Vogue is your go-to podcast where fashion meets culture. Hosted by Chloe Malle, Head of Editorial Content, Vogue U.S.; Chioma Nnadi, Head of British Vogue; and Nicole Phelps, Director of Vogue Runway, each episode features the latest fashion news and exclusive designer and celebrity interviews.

On this special New York Fashion Week edition of the Glossy Podcast, we're looking back at some of the shows, trends and interesting moments that arose from this season on the runway. Senior fashion reporter Danny Parisi is joined by editor-in-chief Jill Manoff and international reporter Zofia Zwieglinska to discuss what they saw over the course of the week. Danny and Jill were on the ground attending shows, while Zofia was reporting from the U.K. In our preview episode last week, we discussed the move toward smaller, more intimate shows that were happening this NYFW, and that proved to be the case. Many brands held intimate presentations, often in their own stores or leveraging unique formats, like dinners, brunches and presentations, in locations including coffee shops. We also talk about some of the trends we saw on the runway, including the lack of color in many of the collections. And we discuss the continued prevalence of ouside-the-box sponsorships like Christian Siriano's collaboration with the drink brand Capri Sun. And lastly, we talk about which shows were the most memorable, from Zankov's welcome splashes of color to Off-White's use of New York Liberty mascot Ellie the Elephant on the runway.
Monocle’s foreign editor, Alexis Self, explains the minefield awaiting Starmer as he meets Trump. Our fashion editor, Natalie Theodosi, wraps up NYFW, while our design editor, Nic Monisse, takes us to London Design Festival.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

For the latest NYFW designer episode, international fashion reporter Zofia Zwieglinska sat down with Hillary Taymour, founder and creative director of Collina Strada, to discuss her Spring-Summer 2026 collection. The collection's show featured a striking visual: Every colorful look was mirrored by a black duplicate, like a “shadow” that followed each model down the runway. The doubled styling underscored how progress, in fashion and in politics, is never free from the weight of what came before. The collection arrived as the U.S. navigates heightened scrutiny abroad following Donald Trump's return to office in January 2025. With sweeping tariffs and immigration crackdowns, America's cultural exports now carry a dual narrative: vibrant and innovative on the surface, but shadowed by policies that shape international perception. Collina Strada's runway mirrored the tension, with the more colorful brand expression tempered by stark reminders of consequence. But Taymour is expanding the Collina Strada universe beyond the runway. At NYFW, she announced a new partnership with OnlyFans, debuting as a creator on the platform while introducing a limited-edition OnlyFans x Collina Strada “Level Up” T-shirt. Through her channel, she'll give fans an inside look at her design process, plus offer business lessons, creative inspirations and everyday style, while extending NYFW coverage to OFTV. Alongside that came another first: Collina Strada's debut fine jewelry collaboration, with Awe Inspired, featuring surreal sterling hedgehogs, molten talons and thorn-like forms, priced $225–$1,145 and made available immediately following the runway.
