The Invasion of Celebrities and Influencers Into Fashion: The Olsen Twins Part 2
There are many celebrity fashion brands out there. Jessica Simpson's eponymous brand was the first celebrity line to crack one billion dollars in sales. Draper James by Reese Witherspoon. I could go on and on. Then, of course, there are literally a million and one celebrity beauty brands. Name any female celebrity and they probably had a beauty brand. However, most of these brands use the celebrity as the face of the company, and the products they try to hock don’t really matter. It's really just a ploy to make money. But what about those select celebrities who were able to truly crossover into the fashion world, and truly make good products? Is that even possible? I explore that idea in this episode.

The Rise of Prada Part 2: Where Prada and Her Sister Brand Miu Miu Went Wrong
Prada is now firmly planted in our modern consciousness as a bonified luxury brand. In this episode I examine the meaning of Prada in pop culture in order to understand the brand even further.

In the second half of the episode I get into the origin story of Prada's sister brand Miu Miu and tease apart her story one hair at a time.

About the Business Side of Luxury Fashion...
We can all agree that Luxury fashion has a certain type of allure to it that doesn't follow any type of logic or sense. I mean sock shoes by Balenciaga that cost nearly 1000 dollars? As crazy as it is, that's why it is so beautiful. Luxury is creativity expressed in a tangible item. In other words, it's something that comes from the human soul. But what happens when greed gets in the way? In this episode, I seek to pull back the curtain on the luxury fashion industry and give you the truth. Fashion your seatbelts!
