Fashion is such a closed world it feels like with social media we just have access to the outcome of success in the industry but not really how individuals got there. We consume the end product rather than the process. And this is the reason why I created this podcast. I wanted to go behind the scenes and have intimate close-up conversations with people who are responsible for setting trends and secretly influencing us. From editors, designers, agents, stylists, creators… you'll hear their stories and how they got there, as well as some unheard-of intel. And I insist on the term "conversation", this is going to be completely unscripted and raw because my goal is to peel the layers of this industry and get to the bottom of what really happens in the mysterious spheres of fashion.
