This podcast is real fashion. Fashion is all about image, but there is reality behind it - if you want to be knowledgdable about the genre, you must listen. Not just designers, but retailers and merchandisers and wholesalers and illiustrators and producers and photographers and models and stylists and fashion instagramers and fashion bloggers and pattern drafters and manufacturers and yes even consumers. Listen.

Every episode I learn something new, hear a different viewpoint or discover another facet to something I'm already slightly familiar with! The hosts are curious and knowledgeable, they can't help but ask the questions they are wondering about. Even the episodes I don't think I'd be interested in turn out to be great.

All in all one of the best fashion podcasts. As a very young designer in the business, this cast has been the most reasonable and attainable with their suggestions. I have learned some difficult lessons so keep it up cuz us left brain era need all the business help we can get!

Guests are usually interesting, the host comes across has having little to no personality and an accusatory style of interviewing. He seems like he is out to pick on people and highlight their fallacies when possible. There is a better, more productive way to question. Can be hard to listen to, too negative.
