In this episode, Kelly is joined by Hillary Wallace! She is the principal designer at her own firm: Simon-Wallace Design. And she pulls out all of the stops decorating her New York City home for the holidays. Kelly starts the episode off by talking about the only way two true New Yorkers could meet: Yelling at each other from a window! Hillary talks about where she was from and how from when she was young; she alwasy wanted to move to New York. She talks about growing up in LA in the 80's, moving to colorado, designing her own furniture as a side job and how that inspired her to go back to school for design. Kelly then asks Hillary about her house, and Hillary tells the very roundabout story of how she and her husband came to find and buy the house. Hillary tells us all about decorating her house for the holidays. She goes over her schedule, talks about where she gets all of her resourses from, and how she goes from design idea to execution every single year. Kelly and Hillary then talk about the desings themselves. What they are, some absurd stories about them, and the ways that different people have been inspired or moved by them. Hillary talks about her design philosophy, and how she goes about meeting clients, and creating a lifestyle for them or meeting them in their lifestyle. Jae asks her about some other events around the city and the three talk about some of the various events you can do while around New York during the holiday season. Finally, Kelly asks Hillary about some of her New York City Essentials, like where she goes for inspiration, where her favorite shops are and how she likes to get around. But above all else; Hillary Wallace is a New Yorker.

Idag ska vi bege oss in i filmens och sagornas värld för att titta närmare på hur man klär sagofigurer för bästa effekt. Inte minst de häxlika. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. I fantasyfilmmusikalen ”Wicked”, och uppföljaren, ”Wicked: For Good” har man inte sparat på krutet, utan tittarna bombarderas med den ena extravaganta och färgsprakande utstyrseln efter den andra.Även de som inte sett filmerna har antagligen inte kunnat undgå att se de två huvudrollsinnehavarna, Ariana Grande och Cynthia Erivo, posera på bilder under olika PR-evenemang för filmerna. För de har varit spektakulärt klädda, eller utklädda. Alltid i plagg som anspelar på deras karaktärer i filmerna, så kallad ”method dressing”.Och den konsekventa stilen har gett resultat. Inte minst i form av ökat intresse för de modehus som står bakom deras olika klänningar – som Schiaparelli, Thom Browne, Ralph Lauren, Versace, Prada och Givenchy.Häxans stil är en look som formats, förändrats och återskapats sedan skrockens begynnelse. Sanna Nyström har arbetat som kostymdesigner i 20 år och har bra koll på karaktärsbyggande genom kläder.Den moderna häxan hör inte bara hemma i populärkulturen och fiktionens värld. Hella Nathorst-Böös är författare och fotograf – och häxa. Hon håller bland annat kurser, leder stadsvandringar och ceremonier, med en tydlig mission: att sprida kunskap och inspiration om magi, häxhistoria och läkeväxter.Häxan Elphaba i Wicked kan kännas igen på sina långa och häxlika naglar, även skådespelaren bakom rollen, Cynthia Erivo, har uppmärksammats i intervjuer, och på röda mattan, för sina –om ännu mer – spektakulära nagelkreationer. Vi pratar med nagelkonstnären Danielle Lundgren om de långa naglarnas status i samtiden.

Designermarken wie Tommy Hilfiger und Ralph Lauren erkennt man an Markenzeichen und Design. Markenzeichen machen äußerlich sichtbar und eindeutig identifizierbar. Manchmal erkennt man auch Menschen in bestimmten Berufen an ihrer Kleidung, zum Beispiel einen Chirurgen an seinem OP-Kittel, einen Polizisten an seiner Uniform oder einen Richter an seiner Robe. Jesus hat uns etwas gegeben, das ein unwiderlegbarer Beweis dafür ist, dass wir nahe bei Gott sind: Einen Test, mit dem du dein eigenes geistliches Wachstum beurteilen kannst. So erstaunlich ist dieses „Markenzeichen“, dass Jesus sagt, es sei das wichtigste Erkennungsmerkmal deines Glaubens. Er drückt es so aus: „Ein neues Gebot gebe ich euch: Liebt einander! Wie ich euch geliebt habe, so sollt auch ihr einander lieben. Daran werden alle erkennen, dass ihr meine Jünger seid: Wenn ihr einander liebt“ (Joh 13,34–35 LU). Francis Schaeffer, der große christliche Apologet, sagte: „Liebe ist die letzte Apologetik. Sie ist die Verteidigung, gegen die es keine Verteidigung gibt.“ Wenn eine Frau schwanger ist, kommt irgendwann der Punkt, an dem „man es sieht“. Das Leben in ihr beginnt nach außen sichtbar zu werden. Die Bibel drückt es ähnlich aus: „Die Liebe Gottes ist ausgegossen in unsere Herzen durch den Heiligen Geist, der uns gegeben ist“ (Röm 5,5 EÜ). Johannes schreibt: „Ihr Lieben, hat uns Gott so geliebt, so sollen wir uns auch untereinander lieben“ (1.Joh 4,11 LU). Liebe – sie ist die ultimative Prüfung deiner Jüngerschaft.

Consumers today aren't just buying products — they're buying alignment, transparency, cultural fluency, and trust. And trust has officially become one of the most powerful growth marketing levers a brand can pull. In this episode, Sonia Thompson — inclusive growth and customer experience strategist — breaks down what three real-world stories from LinkedIn, Disney, and Ralph Lauren reveal about the new rules of brand–consumer trust and how they directly impact growth, loyalty, and long-term revenue. From algorithmic bias to cultural accuracy to identity-centered storytelling, these case studies show exactly why frictionless, values-led, inclusive marketing isn't optional anymore — it's a competitive advantage. You'll learn: Why trust is now a core growth metric and a deciding factor in customer acquisition and loyalty How Disney's Moana backlash demonstrates the business impact of cultural accuracy and responsible creative decisions What Ralph Lauren's evolution teaches us about identity-driven brand building and long-term growth Why LinkedIn's algorithmic bias debate highlights the rising expectations around responsible AI and inclusive design How representation, transparency, and cultural fluency shape modern customer experience The specific behaviors today's consumers reward — and the ones that create friction, backlash, and brand erosion If you want to build a frictionless growth engine that resonates with today's identity-led, culturally connected consumers, this episode gives you the clarity and direction you need for 2026 and beyond.

X: @AmericaIgnite @ileaderssummit @americasrt1776 @NatashaSrdoc @JoelAnandUSA @supertalk @JTitMVirginia Join America's Roundtable (https://americasrt.com/) radio co-hosts Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy with Barry Meguiar. Barry Meguiar is the third-generation president of Meguiar's Car Wax - one of the world's leading surface care product companies with products sold in over 90 countries and Host of Car Crazy television show that aired for 18 years on the Discovery Channel. Guests on Car Crazy television broadcast have included Jay Leno, Mario Andretti, and Dennis Gage. Barry Meguiar is the Founder and President of Revival Outside the Walls and Ignite America and is heard daily on over 800 Christian Radio Stations in 47 states with his “Ignite with Barry Meguiar” radio features. Barry Meguiar is the author of “Ignite your life.” As a long-time friend and financial supporter of Charlie Kirk's mission at Turning Point USA, Barry Meguiar authored a piece via CBN News titled, “What Charlie Kirk Wanted to Be Remembered For, and What We Should Do About It.” About Meguiar's Meguiar's® Celebrates More Than 120 Years of Polishing the World's Planes, Trains, Boats and Automobiles. What began a century ago as a simple furniture polish laboratory and plant in the garage of founder Frank Meguiar, Jr., now spans the globe as an international car care brand. Celebrating its 120th anniversary in 2021, Meguiar's,®Inc. has become one of the world's leading surface care product companies, providing highly specialized products for almost every conceivable type of surface. In his wildest dreams, it's doubtful that in 1901 Frank Meguiar, Jr., could have foreseen what his first bottle of furniture polish would evolve into over the next 120 years. When Meguiar first began, he made one bottle of polish at a time using an eggbeater. Eventually, he was able to produce enough products at night, to fill the orders he would generate the next day and pay for the family's groceries. The arrival of the first horseless carriages turned Frank Meguiar's attention to the automobile. Made out of wood, they were initially coated with the same finishes that were applied to furniture. It was an easy transition that set the course for the company's preeminence in the car wax business today. From his first bottle of furniture polish, Frank Meguiar, Jr. was steadfastly determined never to sell a product unless he was convinced it was the very best of its kind on the market. To this day, the company follows that dictate and, as a result, has generated millions of enthusiastic users around the world. We describe our customers as "raving fans.” In the early years, Meguiar's Mirror Glaze polishes and waxes, intended for professional use, were primarily used by car manufacturers, car dealers, body shops and detailers. Most custom painters polished their customer's automobiles with Meguiar's products, so the majority of cars put on display in car shows reflected finishes achieved with the use of Meguiar's professional-line products. As car shows became prevalent in the 60's, those attending began to recognize that the use of Meguiar's polishes was the key to create brilliant, high-gloss finishes. Growing numbers of people began pressuring retailers to stock Meguiar's Mirror Glaze products. Compelled by the demands of these enthusiastic fans, the family formally introduced its Meguiar's brand of consumer automotive products in 1973, under the leadership of former Meguiar's, Inc. President, Barry Meguiar, the son of Malcolm Meguiar. Fast forward to today, the Meguiar's line of products still saturate the consumer marketplace, offering car care solutions for the hobbyist and the do-it-yourself lover alike.

On the Glossy Podcast, senior fashion reporter Danny Parisi and international reporter Zofia Zwieglinska break down some of the biggest fashion news of the week. This week, we're talking about a French investigation into the European resale company Vinted, which regulators said hasn't done enough to prevent minors using its platform from accessing sexual content. We also discuss the U.K. footwear brand Clark's entering a number of lower-priced marketplaces, including Shein and TikTok Shop. And we talk about some of the interesting sales data from the pre-Black Friday shopping window. Later in the episode, Zofia and our editor-in-chief, Jill Manoff, are joined by Preston Konrad, founder of the home and fragrance brand Preston Lane, to talk about the biggest holiday trend of the season: Ralph Lauren Christmas. For months, social media has been awash in what people are calling Ralph Lauren Christmas, an aesthetic that takes 20th-century, New England-flavored inspiration from the design principles of Ralph Lauren for cozy holiday outfits and home decor. The aesthetic isn't limited to Ralph Lauren — a number of home and fashion brands have showcased the look in their marketing as they try to capitalize on the trend. Konrad is a former styling director for Ralph Lauren who worked for the brand for over five years. He shared with Jill and Zofia where the trend came from, what's appealing about it and how other brands can get in on the hype.

For GQ's global fashion correspondent Samuel Hine, clothes have always been more than fabric; they were a form of identity long before they became his career. Growing up as an identical twin in Chicago, he learned early that style could be a language of individuality. That instinct eventually led him to New York, a meeting with Will Welch (through a friend of his grandmother, no less), and what's now a decade-long career shaping how we read and interpret menswear. In this conversation, we talk about the evolution of fashion criticism, the rebirth of men's style, and why GQ's “new new masculinity” reflects more than just trend but a cultural recalibration. Hine shares his thoughts on writing as both love and labor, the designers moving fashion forward with integrity over hype, and what he calls a quiet “masculine renaissance” where men might not all be okay, but at least they're dressing the part. “I never thought of being visible or outward-facing as a strategy. I just always felt that being out in the world—seeing what people are wearing, what they're talking about—is part of the job. It's not just a role you perform, it's a person you become.” - Samuel Hine Episode Highlights: Finding identity through clothes — Growing up as an identical twin in Chicago's North Shore, Samuel used clothing to differentiate himself, from refusing blue jeans to obsessing over Oxford shirts and shaggy sweaters. From Chinese and history to fashion — A self-described reader before writer, he majored in Chinese and history, then realized fashion could be his intellectual project as much as his personal style. Early media spark — Running his high school radio station and interviewing Liz Phair showed him media could be a passport into worlds far from his suburban life. Studying men's fashion criticism — An independent study traced men's fashion writing from Oscar Wilde to Tumblr, convincing him there was space to take menswear as seriously as he did. The GQ break — A friend of his grandmother connected him to Will Welch; he started as Welch's assistant, then grew with the brand across print, web, social, and events. What the global correspondent does — “Go where the action is.” He covers the men's and co-ed weeks worldwide, files features and fast leads, collaborates with 13 GQ markets, and lives between planes and pages. Show Notes and niche obsession — His GQ newsletter lets him cover the hyper-specific: show reviews, underground designers, and off-runway lore, building a direct pipe to readers beyond SEO. Who's winning now — He praises Ralph Lauren for steady world-building over clout-chasing, and singles out Dario Vitale's Versace debut for feeling genuinely fresh, young, and wearable. Who would matter without hype — Designers who would make clothes regardless of money or press: Eckhaus Latta, Kiko Kostadinov, Telfar. Purpose and compulsion over noise. What's contemporary now — Print. As an antidote to algorithmic brain-rot, magazines channel human taste and help readers develop their own; the medium feels newly vital.

Elizabeth den första. Prince. Madonna. Och hur många brudar som helst, under bröllop. Alla har de burit en och samma sak spetsar. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. I veckans program ska vi ta en titt på en intrikat detalj som hängt med i modet under flera hundra år, spetsar.Trendfaktorn för denna tunna och intrikata textil har förstås svängt rejält under årens lopp. Det har inte bara med att spetsar gått från att vara extremt exklusiva till att bli en sorts vardagsvara som finns på var och varannan troskant.Just nu så är det många märken och modeskapare som, än en gång, har upptäckt dessa mjuka textilier. Chloé, Saint Laurent, Dior och Ralph Lauren är bara några av dem. Konsthistorikern Magdalena Hammar arbetar på Livrustkammaren i Stockholm. När hon inte fördjupar sig i historien i sitt arbete, återskapar hon den själv med nål och tråd, med en särskild förkärlek för spets.Ett underplagg som har en intim koppling till spets är negligén. Det var från början namnet på en lång och tunn, nästan genomskinlig, morgonrock för kvinnor. Negligé har istället kommit att betyda ett slinkigt nattlinne, ofta prytt med just av spetsdetaljer kring halslinning och fåll. Länge var den avsedd för slutna rum. Men under hösten 2025 verkar negligén fått kliva ut ur sovrummen, för nu har något hänt. Reportage med Lisa Ehlin, lektor i modevetenskap. Idag kan man också se spets i konstsammanhang, fast lite annorlunda. Konstnären Jérémy Gobé vill ge nytt liv åt hantverk och tekniker som håller på att försvinna i Frankrike. Han har hittat ett oväntat användningsområde för gammal överbliven spets. Det kan användas för att rädda korallreven.
“What if you took the idea about go to hell pants and expanded it to every part of your life?” Our next guest, Dr. Evan Thomas Woods, Senior Lecturer at The Ohio State University, posed this very question on our program this week.

Press, J. Crew, Ralph Lauren, Chipp, etc, collecting, collections, so throw caution to the wind, and check it out!

The ladies welcome back interior designer, author, and TV personality Vern Yip to discuss his new book Color, Pattern, Texture: The Foundations to Make Your Home Your Own as well as his recently released HBO series Home Reimagined. Vern breaks down a few designer secrets for how to use color, pattern, and texture together, why meaningful pieces and physical samples matter, and how to layer scale and tonal variation for rooms that feel personal and enduring. He also shares kid-friendly design tips, smart ways to compromise on shared spaces, and how to bring human scale and warmth to large, unconventional structure. Quick Decorating Takeaways: Start with meaningful, restrictive items (art, rugs, heirlooms) and then choose paint. Use physical samples and an inspiration box—screens can't convey scale, texture, or real color. Layer many patterns by varying scale (extra-small to extra-large) for richness. Use tonal variation (not exact matches) to create depth and longevity. If you avoid pattern, amplify texture and contrast finishes (rough vs. smooth, matte vs. shiny). For small rooms: fewer, larger pieces (e.g., a sectional + swivel) often feel more spacious than many small items. What You'll Hear on This Episode: 00:00 Welcome & Introductions 01:00 Vern Yip: New book Color Pattern Texture 03:00 Why color, pattern, texture matter together 07:00 Where to start — meaningful items vs. paint chips 10:30 The Inspiration Box: collect tactile samples 14:00 Pattern layering by scale & practical benefits 18:30 Texture's role when pattern is limited 22:00 Tonal variation vs. exact color matching 26:00 Color, pattern, texture dictionaries & cheat sheets 30:00 Kids' rooms: give them voice + longevity tips 36:00 Balancing opposite partner styles — finding compromise 42:00 Designing for large volumes — bringing human scale 49:00 Vern's show Home Reimagined — pilot & episodes 54:00 Listener dilemma: small mountain cabin layout advice 01:08 Closing notes & where to find Vern Decorating Dilemma: Hi Melissa, Great job—your cabin already feels warm and personal. Vern applauds your pattern-forward choices (that rug and Francis Floral pillows are perfect) and suggests orienting seating to make the fireplace/TV the clear focal point. His practical solution: swap the sectional so it faces the mantle/TV, add a swivel chair for flexible conversation/viewing, and favor fewer, larger pieces (a well-scaled sectional + one or two chairs) to make the small room feel more expansive and comfortable. Vern also notes lowering the mantle and using floor-to-ceiling drapery, appropriately scaled lighting, and a substantial rug will bring human scale and coziness to the lofty elements. You're on the right track — these tweaks will maximize seating and make the space more functional without losing your Ralph Lauren–inspired vibe. — How to Decorate Also Mentioned: Color, Pattern, Texture: The Foundations to Make Your Home Your Own (Order Now; pub.

When identical twins Mike and Alex Faherty launched their clothing brand, they made a daring move– launching wholesale, retail, and online, pretty much at the same time. Investors said it was outdated, maybe even doomed.But that contrarian bet helped grow Faherty into a hugely popular brand, built on family, ingenuity, and obsession with detail.The two brothers spent 12 years preparing for launch—Mike at Ralph Lauren learning the craft of fashion, Alex in finance learning the mechanics of business. In the early days they traveled the country in a beach house on wheels, pulling over on the PCH to sell bathing suits and board shorts. Mike's designs—surf culture meets big-city chic—took hold online, in department stores, and even swanky boutiques in Japan, giving Faherty the momentum it needed to eventually grew to $250 million in sales. What You'll Learn:Why the “all channels” strategy (wholesale + retail + online) can actually be a competitive advantage.The power of 12 years of preparation prior to launch.How to leverage factory relationships and suppliers as true partners.Why old-school, in-person sales can be a killer marketing tool How family, trust, and resilience became a core advantage of the Faherty brand.Timestamps:(05:41) Mike discovers Bergdorf's, cashmere, and fashion inspiration as a teenager in NYC(08:19) Mike gets grief from his basketball teammates for studying fashion at Wash U(13:38) Mike lands a job at Ralph Lauren to learn fashion from the inside(21:28) The moment Alex's mentor tells him that starting a clothing brand is “the dumbest idea I've ever heard”(31:41) The brothers launch Faherty online from a borrowed apartment in Puerto Rico(35:00) Roaming the country in a mobile beach house that doubles as their first store(41:34) Early wins with specialty shops(59:14) The brand nearly runs out of money and gets rescued by a man from Nantucket (1:07:14) A Covid-era gamble that pays off in massive growth (1:15:04) How the identical-twin bond became a superpower for the brandFollow How I Built This:Instagram → @howibuiltthisX → @HowIBuiltThisFacebook → How I Built ThisFollow Guy Raz:Instagram → @guy.razYoutube → guy_razX → @guyrazSubstack → guyraz.substack.comWebsite → guyraz.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Jennifer Meyer is the founder and creative director of Jennifer Meyer Jewelry, a fine jewelry brand handmade in Los Angeles. Jennifer's story starts early. At six, she was discovering her love for jewelry while creating pieces with her grandmother. Fast forward: she hustled her way into getting a job at Glamour magazine, then worked in fashion and PR with Ralph Lauren and Giorgio Armani. In 2005, she finally followed her passion she felt for years and launched her brand at her kitchen table, teaching herself everything from molds to pricing. Her big break came when Jennifer Aniston wore the leaf necklace in The Break-Up, and suddenly her pieces were on the shelves at Barneys and Net-a-Porter. Nearly two decades later, Jennifer Meyer Jewelry has become a Hollywood staple, worn by everyone from Reese Witherspoon and Taylor Swift to Selena Gomez and so many more.In today's episode, Jennifer gets real about what it took to build from zero. We talk about how her upbringing & working at a young age shaped her resilience, the scrappy hustle that got her first big break at Glamour, and the leap from side passion to a real business. She shares the chaos of those early orders, the moment Jennifer Aniston put her work on the map, and what it was like to scale while raising her daughter. We dig into money lessons from her dad, why she chose slow and steady growth, and how to bet on yourself when there's no roadmap. Jennifer also opens up about navigating comparison, leaning into social and how it's impacted her business, and redefining what success means to her over the years. If you've ever felt “not enough,” this conversation will remind you that passion, persistence, and kindness can take you farther than you think.In this episode, we'll talk to Jennifer about:* Why staying focused and trusting your passion has guided her career.
