On today's show, we're chatting with Sue Poole, the founder of At Source Vintage. Sue's love for fashion started young – she remembers many bold fashion moments from her teens – wearing a turquoise pencil skirt with rainbow leggings, buying her first designer piece, shopping the charity shops in London. In 2020, Sue made a decision that changed everything: she stopped buying new clothes completely. What started as participating in Oxfam's Secondhand September challenge – where she committed to only wearing the secondhand pieces already in her wardrobe – turned into a permanent lifestyle shift. Four years later, she hasn't bought a single new item. This commitment didn't just change how Sue shops – it revolutionized her entire relationship with fashion. She went from following trends and scrolling through brand algorithms to becoming a vintage expert who tracks down 1970s YSL toweling caftans, collects Celine blouses, and once scored an '80s Hermès velour lounge suit on eBay for £18. In 2022, she launched her own curated vintage business, At Source Vintage, and since Sue's been featured in British Vogue, she showcases at London vintage fairs, and her Instagram is a masterclass in styling vintage pieces in ways that make them feel completely contemporary. We talk about the styling challenge that started it all for her, and how secondhand shopping is actually about right-sizing our relationship with clothing – finding your style through vintage, breaking free from consumption cycles, and proving that you don't need to buy new clothes to dress incredibly well. It's a fun one, so let's dive right in! DISCUSSED IN THE EPISODE: [3:27] Sue's always been a fashion-lover, and shares her early style memories. [6:38] Her earliest secondhand experiences and London's vintage scene [9:46] Why she took Oxfam's Secondhand September Challenge in 2020.

On this week's SheerLuxe Podcast, Charlotte Collins is joined by Polly Newman and writer, presenter and podcast host Tolly Shoneye for a brilliantly chaotic catch-up on everything from pop culture obsession to real-life dilemmas.First up: the joy (and cultural impact) of Bad Bunny at the Super Bowl, plus why certain TV shows and their stars are shifting the conversation around masculinity, sexuality and the female gaze. The trio also share what they're loving right now: IBX manicures, affordable framed prints, art rental subscriptions, the unexpected joy of a mandolin for ‘tiny chopped' salads and a few fashion finds (including a very good YSL loafer lookalike).Then, they dive into the big topics: why luxury stores are making us queue, how to maintain adult friendships (and make new memories) and the age-old question of splitting money and the mental load at home.PANELCharlotte Collins | @charlotteleahcollins | https://www.instagram.com/charlotteleahcollins/ M&S Pure Cashmere Crew Jumper | https://tidd.ly/4pqyVEL Chloé Bracelet Leather Belt | https://tinyurl.com/3vzxtr43 Pairs Ultra Soft Bed Socks | https://tinyurl.com/5d4hwwte Dune Grisella Lip On Loafers | https://tinyurl.com/yc73eryt Vara Optical Wimbledon Glasses | https://tinyurl.com/burw23m5 Polly Newman | @pollyvnewman | https://www.instagram.com/pollyvnewmanArket Lacquered Leather Loafers | https://tinyurl.com/4uz275vd AGOLDE + Net Sustain 90s Pinch Waist Jeans | https://tinyurl.com/wkkwsxmt Pairs Bamboo Socks | https://www.pairs-socks.com/products/dark-plum-bamboo-socks Tolly Shoneye | @tolly_t | https://www.instagram.com/tolly_t/ NA-KD Short Pu Biker Jacket | https://tinyurl.com/cdtuh7vs SKIMS Scoop Neck Ribbed Tank Top | https://tinyurl.com/ytrrxakj Jaded London Cadet Camo Shorts | https://tinyurl.com/ytjfu33v THINGS WE LOVEThe Receipts Podcast | https://open.spotify.com/show/3GMZiZnqL4Hib6DD5PGhdj Giddy Prints | https://giddyprints.co.uk/ Interrupted Art | https://interrupted.art/ BBC World of Secrets | https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/w13xtvs0 FASHION FINDSSaint Laurent Le Loafer Logo Embellished Leather Loafers | https://tinyurl.com/trexmrs5 GANNI Wool Blend Trench Coat | https://tinyurl.com/379t9u6r Hermès Chypre Sandal | https://tinyurl.com/2s35rrrv Hertunba | https://www.hertunba.com/ Rendoll | https://www.rendoll.com/SheerLuxe ‘The New ASOS Range Denim Fans Will Love' | https://tinyurl.com/zzavcjpw ASOS DESIGN Horseshoe Jeans | https://www.asos.com/asos-design/asos-design-oversized-horseshoe-jean-in-pink/prd/209337465 Dries Van Noten Jersey Peplum Sweatshirt | https://tinyurl.com/trexmrs5 Topshop Balloon Hem Sweatshirt | https://tinyurl.com/4nvsjdur ASOS ARRANGE Oversized Long Sleeve T-Shirt | https://tinyurl.com/yv88he3m Hosted on Acast.

Which designers are cooking? Which creative directors are washed? Find out.RUNWAY REVIEWS:Prada FW26: High button holes, dirty French cuffs, and silhouettes echoing early Raf archive (Riot Riot Riot era). A genuine return to form—dressing cool young people, not runway theater.Rick Owens "TOWER": Military fashion without cosplay. Exaggerated shoulders replace traditional epaulets. Comparisons to Concordians, Porterville, Hollywood, Temple, and Lido—this might be his best of the past 5 years.Jonathan Anderson — Dior Men's AW27: Paul Poiret references and "heritage meets subversion" press notes that don't translate.Dsquared2 FW26: Dean and Dan Caten deliver giant furry hats, Olympic ski aesthetics, and jacked models with chiseled jawlines.Ralph Lauren FW26: Is Ralph pandering to the Aime Leon Dore and Bodé crowd? Vintage Polo Sport looks feel five years late to the Lower East Side menswear revival. But the tailoring buried later—velvet tuxedos, opera loafers, herringbone Chesterfields, cutaway collars—still hits.Balenciaga FW26 (Pierpaolo Piccioli): Post-Demna disappointment. Zara-coded varsity bombers, incoherent lookbook energy.Soshio Otsuki — Pitti Uomo 2026: The Japanese designer making YSL-inspired power suits for men. Double-breasted blazers for $600, Boro stitching collabs, jumpsuit-illusion suiting.Also discussed: Demna's Gucci debut, Louis Vuitton under Pharrell, London vs. New York street style, British tailoring culture, Rolling Dub Trio and Kozaburo boots, making a horse leather Birkin, and whether Dolce & Gabbana discourse is just an easy accountability checkbox.QUESTIONS ANSWERED:→ What did Raf Simons show at Prada FW26?→ Who is the best designer of 2026?→ Who is the new Dior menswear creative director? → Is Ralph Lauren copying Aime Leon Dore? → What happened to Balenciaga after Demna? → Who is Soshio Otsuki? → What is the high button hole trend? → What are the best Paris Fashion Week FW26 collections? → London vs. New York: Who dresses better?Sol Thompson and Michael Smith explore the world and subcultures of fashion, interviewing creators, personalities, and industry insiders to highlight the new vanguard of the fashion world.

What if the friction stopping crypto adoption is the same fear that kept 62% of US adults from making their first online purchase until the pandemic forced them? From Bitcoin at $2 to NFTs that people still don't understand, the pattern repeats: revolutionary technology stumbles not on innovation, but on trust and usability.This encore episode (originally published in April 2024 and our #1 most downloaded episode of the year) brings back Jean-Louis Hé, Director of Digital and E-Commerce at Yves Saint Laurent Beauty. Join hosts Chuck Moxley and Nick Paladino as they reflect on how quickly technology moves, blockchain was the emerging tech buzz in 2024, now AI dominates every conversation.Jean-Louis shares his journey from wanting to be an architect to shaping digital experiences, explaining how his family's Chinese restaurant in Paris taught him the importance of human connection that now informs his work bridging physical retail with digital innovation. He reveals YSL's Web3 experiments with Beauty Blocks NFTs designed to transform one-way brand communication into participatory community building, drawing parallels to Nike's success letting customers co-design shoes. We tackle the massive friction barriers in crypto (MetaMask wallets, scam airdrops, ledger codes, obscure coin exchanges), explore why connected mirrors and QR codes still matter in stores, and examine how gaming revolutionized technology infrastructure that business now benefits from. Jean-Louis argues the biggest misconception about frictionless digital experiences is thinking you only need to optimize the digital interface, when the real work is crafting a cohesive story across the entire consumer journey.Key Actionable Takeaways:Design for the complete journey, not just digital touchpoints - A beautiful website won't succeed if it's disconnected from physical stores, marketplace channels, and brand values across the customer experienceBuild two-way participation instead of one-way communication - Enable consumers to co-create through challenges, exclusive access, and design input rather than passively consuming brand messagesRecognize adoption friction mirrors historical technology fears - The same resistance to online credit cards 15 years ago now appears with crypto wallets; reduce friction by simplifying onboarding and building trust through educationWant more tips and strategies about creating frictionless digital experiences?

HBO's Industry is back this week and we couldn't be more excited! Myha'la Herrold joins senior editor Marley Marius and fashion writer Hannah Jackson on Vogue's podcast to bring us up to speed on what her character Harper Stern is in for in season four. “The end of season three is very much her being like, “I'm gonna be my own boss.” This is the time when she truly breaks away,” says Myha'la. Each season of the show, Myha'la works with the showrunners Konrad Kay and Mickey Down to use Harper's hair to tell a story of where the character is at in her life and this season is no different. “She's at the top of her game and she's going harder than she's ever gone before. And I was like, well obviously it's gotta be the micro braids with the human hair,” says Myhala on her season four look. "It's gotta be the most expensive, probably the most high maintenance, the most difficult thing and the most elevated version of Harper.” Great care went into creating Harper's wardrobe this season as Costume Designer Laura K. Smith created a power suit to set the tone for the character. “We always trade boards like I was sending her pictures of Celine and YSL," reflects Myha'la.“That first shot that we see Harper is in a gray three-piece suit. It is a custom designed and custom made suit by Laura for Harper,” says Myha'la. “[Laura] was like, I want this to be like the hero piece for her closet and for her to be able to mix and match.”Myha'la takes a trip down memory lane and talks about fronting a Christian rock-band in high school and talks about her love of musicals and her dream role of playing Elle Woods in Legally Blonde on Broadway. “I'm manifesting.” says Myha'la. “I sing everything but my favorite genre is definitely musical theater. If anyone is looking for a five foot one, available, black baddie who lives in New York, cast me!” Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices

Episode 99 opens with Trivelle steering the conversation back to the podcast's early, more provocative days. He boldly claims that whether she admits it or not every woman is aware when a man is interested in her. The group debates what defines a “crush”: is it simply feeling someone is attractive, or something that must be acted upon? From there they shift to music: they discuss Gunna's back-to-back shows in Toronto at a 10,000-capacity venue. XP points out that's impressive for an artist performing outside the continental U.S., especially given the efforts to “get him out the way” after the YSL trial and related gang-snitch allegations. Given those pressures, Gunna's perseverance and ability to organize successful shows earns respect. They ask whether Young Thug could still pull off equal or greater shows in Toronto today debating venue size, promotion, and logistics. Trivelle compares Young Thug's potential to the recent 3-night run by Vybz Kartel in Toronto, and they mention How Drake surprisingly performed Show 1 on his birthday. XP praises Kartel's stage presence and overall performance. Then T asks whether Tyla could draw a strong venue in town. Shifting gears, they talk about one of the ongoing social-media controversies: after Elon Musk unveiled Twitter's new location sharing feature, social-media “stan” accounts are in uproar especially the ones created or rose to prominence during the Kendrick Drake some posting reckless claims. OShauN argues that people who talk recklessly online should have to show their faces and account for their words in real life. They close out by giving love to Wale's latest release via Def Jam Recordings, and expressing excitement about how the Toronto Raptors are playing lately. Check out Episode 99.

Think of it as a back-to-school lesson plan for building a balanced portfolio that reflects both your goals and your lifestyle.Here's what you'll hear:Stocks & Shares ISA and “fun” stock picks – why I use them as a supporting layer, and the playful way I buy YSL shares instead of handbags.My SSAS Pension – how I structure it, why it's my main savings vehicle, and the story of the red telephone box that generates monthly rental income inside my pension.Stocks & REITs inside the SSAS – from global trackers like the S&P500 to UK property companies, including Land Securities (and why buying those shares was personal).Property outside the pension – the reality of residential vs commercial returns, plus what I learned from a refinancing challenge.The full picture – how commercial property sits at the centre of everything, supported by stocks, ISAs, and small, fun investments.By the end, you'll see why I believe commercial property is the cornerstone of a strong, long-term investment strategy — and how you can start thinking about where it might fit into yours.If this episode feels like a crash course, then my Back to School Training is the full lesson plan. Join me there and I'll walk you step by step through how to strengthen your own portfolio with commercial property.

This week's show opens with a look at Ryan Coogler's new Hurricane Katrina: Race Against Time docuseries, unpacking racism, government failures, and raw survivor stories. The crew reflects on why this deeper truth is only now being told and how a 2025 Katrina might play out differently. Rome then stirs things up with conspiracy theories we actually believe, from COINTELPRO to Tuskegee, and how some “wild” ideas have turned out to be real. That leads into the Workday hiring bias lawsuit, raising questions about AI discrimination against Black, older, and disabled applicants—and whether tech is helping or hurting equity. Jab takes on the bombshell news that BET has canceled the Hip Hop and Soul Train Awards, sparking a debate on their cultural importance, the impact of streaming, and who could revive them. The conversation flows into a bigger question: Hip hop culture vs. music—can you love the music without knowing the roots, and does gatekeeping still matter? In new music, the team reviews Gunna's The Last Wun, a 25-track blend of trap, R&B, and Afrobeats rumored to be his final YSL project, plus Bryson Tiller's The Vices—a confident, rap-heavy mixtape-style album ahead of his slower R&B release Solace in October.
