Sweaters just aren’t what they used to be. Now, it feels like most sweaters are made out of plastic. What happened? And how can we change this? On the latest episode of the Conscious Style Podcast, I unpack: 🧶 Why sweater quality has taken a nosedive—and the hidden impact of cutting corners. 🧶 How small brands can embrace timeless designs and turn a profit sustainably. 🧶 The human side of fashion—ethical sourcing, artisan relationships, and the beauty of collaboration. 🧶 Why hiring external expertise can be the game-changer founders didn’t know they needed. This conversation is for anyone who cares about building a better fashion future—one that values quality, intention, and connection. 👉 Listen here: https://lnkd.in/e5CvB5F5 #knitweardesigner #sustainablebrands #entrepreneurship _________ 👋🏼 Hola!

New social media aesthetic loading: office sirens and #corpcore. Heading into the fall, my co-hosts and I have been seeing this trend pop on our #FYP, and Google search trends tells a similar story. So, what is the office siren aesthetic? Also dubbed #librariancore or #corpcore, it's a play on 80s and 90s power dressing in the office, weaving staples like blazers, shoulder pads, and tailoring with ultra-feminine styling like pencil skirts, red nails, narrow glasses, and high heels. As always, we break down the trend in-depth on this week's episode of House of Content.

It’s episode 100 of How Fitting®! 🎉👗 Each conversation with fashion designers and business owners has explored how they create clothing and grow a business that fits their customer, lifestyle, and values. I have enjoyed getting to know each of these people and seeing what drives their decisions and it has been a privilege to share their stories with you on this podcast over the past four years. Fashion has meaning and significance far beyond the superficial look as I'm sure you know! To celebrate this 100-episode milestone, I asked you, the listeners, which episodes and guests have stood out to you the most. Whether it was because you saw your own story in theirs, picked up a new business idea, or gained the courage to pursue your own values more fully, I want to celebrate the impact these stories have had. In this 100th episode, you’ll hear highlights from five past episodes and what made them your favorite. Each guest and brand have found their unique fit, but there is so much in each story that we can relate to and learn from. How Fitting is that?

To any entrepreneur looking for a kick of motivation, I really recommend watching this podcast episode interviewing the founder of KidSuper. The energy and #hustle of this guy is fantastic and pretty contagious. After watching, I was definitely thinking about all the crazy things I could do. Bonus discussion at the start to go over what you can expect from a colonscopy haha. The candid approach Tosh takes to this stuff is great, but you can skip to 9:41 if you just want to get to the interview. I highly recommend not skipping if you aren't comfortable with getting your own colonscopy as a male of 40+. Ain't nothing to be ashamed of, and it sure as shit shouldn't be avoided. Some very avoidable deaths due to people not getting checked up. https://lnkd.in/gxQv_7Tv

Something that has had a great 'soft' launch & will release episode 2 later today (fingers crossed Jana!) - well worth adding to your podcast list to stay up to date with the holistic matters of the industry (there is so much more to design that just outputting creative solutions) https://lnkd.in/e4buQndS All the fame goes to Alexa Dehmel (who is the Head Judge of the #TrendForum at PERFORMANCE DAYS) for initiating the project. First main interview with the great Ana Kristiansson, the second has a different angle (think the best source for the new parameters of the legislation of the #EUGreenDeal), but suspect there might even be some chat of The DO Lectures included... Very proud of this project as it reaches the parts that other podcasts don't 👏 What do you think of it Wolfgang, John, Gabriel, Jessica, Madelaine, peter, Carlton, Dan, Ralf-Stefan, Andrew, Martin, Jeff, Emily, Colin, Catherine, Gareth, Katherine, Kim, Jacob, Cathy, Bob, Julia, Nancy, Mark, Melanie, Mary, Holly, Kathleen, Michelle, Libby, Simon, Andrew, Sam, Michael, Reinhard? Of course it is on the usual platforms: search either Alexa Dehmel or Designing the Future: Textiles and Transformation Talks. Best of all - #NoCharles 🤣
