In case you want to watch today's episode, you can head over to YouTube. The full episode is available there too. And when you're done, leave us a review. I always love to hear what you guys think about the episodes, and it really helps the show. Go now. Let's go get dressed. Is this our third time?
- [00:29]
B
This is our third.
- [00:31]
A
Our third. I always get so excited to have you here every, like, start to summer.
- [00:36]
B
I love it. Thank you for having me. I was very excited to be invited back, of course.
- [00:40]
A
Okay, you have to walk us through what you're wearing, because I feel like everyone on YouTube is going to be like, give us the deets.
- [00:44]
B
Yes. So T shirt is wrangly the color I needed immediately. Choose a Chanel New season, spring, summer. And the jeans are vintage. I got them from a vintage store in Byron when I went home for summer, and they just fit to perfection.
- [01:02]
A
I love you. So good on you. I have to ask, since you're wearing new Chanel, I think I saw you like a month ago right after Matthieu's first collection hit stores, and I was like, I think I grabbed your shoulders and I was like, how are you doing? How has your gold rush been? Because I'm sure that that was probably the busiest season you've ever had. The demand for that collection was astronomical. I'm sure you had requests coming in before it even hit stores.
- [01:26]
B
100%. I truly and can confidently say I've never experienced that much demand in such a quick time frame too. And I think they were really strategic and smart to launch it early in Paris during Fashion Week while all the fashion girlies were there. And it just caused an absolute mad rush of requests. And I remember that week I was in Japan and I was working some pretty crazy hours to try and keep up with it, but. And still right now, I mean, you know, we've. We've fast forward a few weeks now, but it's still hot. The requests are not slowing down at all, I would say, from the launch, yes, they have, but it's still very heavily Chanel inbound in the DMs. As to what I'm getting asked for,
- [02:12]
A
what are like the hot items?
- [02:15]
B
So from Chanel specifically, I would say, I would say their shoes are perhaps the most requested category at present, followed by their handbags. The handbags is like the maxi flab in the burgundy in the black.
- [02:29]
A
I would die for one of those. I'm not even gonna ask you. It's just. I knew it wasn't worth it.
- [02:35]
B
I will say the Cocoa beach hasn't been as in demand as this spring summer. So I wouldn't necessarily say that was surprising. I knew the spring summer was going to be very, very strong. But Cocoa beach, like, even at present time, you could walk into Chanel today and some of the hot bags are available.
- [02:58]
A
So I think everyone used up their budget on spring summer collection. Like, that's the reality.
- [03:03]
B
Like, actually a really good point.
- [03:05]
A
When I see people, I've seen, like, a few, like, Cocoa beach hauls, and I'm like, okay, those people are the ones with the most expendable income. You are the ones that are just dropping the card anywhere and anytime because you've obviously gotten the spring summer collection and then you went back for more, whereas the rest of us are like, cut, it's done. Cut the credit cards.
- [03:25]
B
Look, myself included. I had to tap out at Cocoa Beach.
- [03:30]
A
I don't know. I actually think that that's going to be a really interesting shift for Chanel moving forward because I find that in the past, the actual Ready to wear collections weren't as popular. These more like, specialty moments during the year, like Cocoa beach or, you know, we've talked about on this show, like, the really iconic moments of, like, the supermarket and like, those kind of iconic moments that feel more thematic, I feel in the past have been things that, like, go viral on Instagram. Whereas now the collection, the main Ready to Wear collection, is so, so strong that I'm actually curious to see if that shifts in, like, the next few years of Chanel, if we're going to see less demand for, you know, the beach bag and like, the. The sandals. Like, the things that feel more like viral moments.
- [04:16]
B
Exactly. Yes. Actually, speaking of sandals, the barefoot, what do you think?
- [04:22]
A
So she's referencing the barefoot sandals from the most recent cruise show that happened. They were a sandal that literally only covered the heel of your foot and. And then your actual sole and toes were, like, on the floor. I have a lot of thoughts. I mean, I think it's interesting. For me, I think the most interesting thing about that was, like, to see such a big house that is usually not a brand that goes for trendy or avant garde moments like that to happen. I was more like, oh, that's interesting. That feels like something that, like Louis Vuitton or like, even Jacques Mousse would do. Like, it didn't strike me as, like, something that Chanel would ever do. I agree. So I was like, okay, we're entering the experimental era.
- [05:03]
B
Yeah.
- [05:03]
A
And I'm really here for that. Like, I'm. I think that when a new designer joins a house, like, you have to give them a few seasons to, like, dip their toes in and try new things. Would I ever wear them? No. Like, am I ever going to buy them and. And wear half a shoe on the beach?
- [05:17]
B
No.
- [05:17]
A
But, like, do I think that they're going to be, like, an editorial slam dunk?
- [05:20]
B
Yeah.
- [05:21]
A
And do I think that they were such a great viral moment for the show?
- [05:24]
B
Yes.
- [05:24]
A
Like, I'm actually curious to see if they produce them.
- [05:27]
B
That's my biggest question mark at the moment is whether they will put them into production. What I've loved witnessing is a lot of clients that would not typically be Chanel clients are buying the brand for the first time and are really excited about this new Chanel. Like, clients that are texting me that have never requested Chanel before and saying they're obsessed.
- [05:47]
A
So are they younger clients? I'm curious. Is there, like, an archetype that you feel is gravitating towards it?
- [05:53]
B
It is definitely. The younger clientele that I would say is perhaps usually may have been purchasing vintage Chanel, but are the first time of really tapping into new season.
- [06:02]
A
So interesting.
- [06:03]
B
Yes.
- [06:04]
A
Well, you are someone who has all the data, obviously, on what everyone's buying. I always like bringing you on for summer for that reason, because I think summer is so particular summer to me. And you and I have talked about this in prior episodes. It's its own ecosystem of fashion. Like, I feel like we made the joke last time you were on that, like, during the year. I'm pretty, you know, a polished dresser. I'm not someone who, like, wears a lot of jewelry. I have, like, kind of my same stack all the time. But when summer rolls around, all bets are off. I'm, like, in crochet dresses, and I want to wear the little pearl earrings and, like, stacks of, like, beaded bracelets. And I think a lot of people feel that way. So summer dressing specifically, I think is just kind of like, again, its own little world.
- [06:51]
B
Yes.
- [06:51]
A
And I think the pieces that come to the forefront are always very obvious. Right. Like, you can go on Instagram. I feel like the first year we had you on, I remember, like, the Miu Miu cowboy hat being the biggest thing. It was everywhere. Sofia Richie was wearing it. It was like, the thing to wear that season. And I remember last year we had you on and it was all about flip flops and jelly sandals. And I was like, I couldn't get on the boat yet, but now I'm somewhat on the boat, and that's fine. This summer, I think, has been really interesting because I think. I think there are a few factors playing into this, but I don't feel like we're seeing as many pronounced trends as we've seen in the past. I'm going to say that maybe that's happening because, like, New York just started warming up and it's like the end of May. Like, people haven't had the time to dive into their, like, summer wardrobes. Even spring, like, spring just didn't really happen. Yes, but so I'm excited to have you on today to dive into, like, what Actually, the data is telling you on what's moving and selling well. As we are about to dive into the summer season and feeling like a little lost at sea. How do you feel about it all?
- [07:59]
B
Look, it's a really good point because as I was even preparing for this and I was thinking through trends, I was like, wait, there aren't many, if any at present time, super prominent ones that we would usually have in previous years. And I find that really interesting. There's definitely key selling styles that I'm getting requests for and we can go through that. But trend specifically, they're not super strong or prominent this year, which I find really interesting, especially because of present time. For example, we love mew. I always think of it as like a Miu Miu summer. But Miu Miu has not yet popped off the way it has. Even this time last year and middle of May, we should have more. We should be seeing more demand for Miu Miu Poochie even. And it hasn't popped off just yet. So I do find that interesting on the flip side. So absolutely. We know Chanel is. Is dominating. Celine is killing it. Celine is doing really, really well. I'm getting requests for not only more, I would say, like the bouts and that are still going strong, but what they've released for summer is doing really well. They've got little jelly flip flop sandals with their iconic marking on the toe. They've just released some other strap sandals. They're black and they're wrap around with the little Celine logo on the, like on the strap? Yes, but kind of wrapped around the foot. I'm going to have to show you a picture. Really, really cute. They've been popular, so time will tell. But I would expect that within the next couple of weeks, you know, Mew Mew will start to drop more pieces from spring summer. Same with even a liar who usually does really well around this time we, you know, the fishnet mules and everything that we've seen. So the next few weeks will be really telling.

A
Today's episode is presented by Depop. If you know me, you know I am big on a closet reset. I genuinely think that when your closet feels organized, your brain and life does too. So how many things are in your closet right now that you have loved when you bought them? Maybe you wore them once or twice, but now they are just sitting there. Here's something that I have realized. That random vintage blazer or dress that you bought for that birthday or dinner, someone is searching for that exact vibe right now. And that's why I love depop. It's a resale app where you can buy and sell fashion. But what makes it feel different is how easy it is to actually list something. You literally snap a photo and their AI powered listing fills in the details. It gives you smart pricing, suggestions you can accept, offers boost listings, and it takes what feels overwhelming and makes it feel like a very low lift. Also, no seller fees. So if you're clearing out one bag, five pairs of jeans, or doing a full closet edit, what you earn is actually yours. So download the Depop app and list one thing that you're not wearing today. You might be surprised at how fast it finds a new home. So many follow up questions. Where do I begin first? Well, Miu Miu has dropped in popularity this year. It's usually the number one brand on the list index which ranks brands based on popularity. And I think it dropped down to maybe three or four. It's not as popular as it used to be. And I wonder if that's because, like, is there mew mew fatigue? Like, are we kind of, are we, you know, have we done the hat? Have we done the tees? Have we done the bags? I love them. Personally. Like, I think it's always really fun. It feels synonymous with summer dressing and I just wonder if we feel like there's fatigue in it and that's why it's kind of dropping off a little bit.
- [11:24]
B
Honestly, I think that is the case because even with the Hot list was featuring some Mimi pieces and I was surprised to see, wow, this is still online. I could check this out right now and that shouldn't be the case with a lot of their styles. I will say that I'm starting to See more styles drop even. In this past week, they released this new, like, wicker tote bag, which I was like, oh, okay, that could be a strong one. But I think there is a bit of fatigue there. And I don't like to admit that, but I think that's what's happening.
- [11:56]
A
I kind of think that sometimes when brands release, like, trendy product after trendy product after trendy product, it really makes a, like, consumer, after a while, indifferent to how special that piece actually is. Like, I think about how many strong pieces Mimu had. Mimu, New Balance, the cowboy hat, the bags, crochet, rainbow, all of that. And I just. It's interesting. Cause there is a fine balance between, you know, obviously launching great product. But after a certain point, does it all feel kind of redundant?
- [12:24]
B
It's a really great point. And you know who I think has done a really good job at maneuvering and controlling this is the Row. Because they were. They were on a track of, like, item after item popping on, off, and it slowed down. And I don't believe that's because the client has stopped shopping. I believe it's because they kind of took control and they're like, oh, we don't want our pieces to be popping off every season. And I think they've done that in a very clever way.
- [12:51]
A
That's a great point. Obviously, after the Margot success, they released the Marlo, which was kind of their solve to the demand for the Margot. But there hasn't been this, like. There hasn't been another piece that has, like, drove people wild since.
- [13:07]
B
Exactly.
- [13:07]
A
And it has allowed me to still look at the Row as a covetable brand. Whereas with Miu Miu, with the constant releases of things, I don't feel like it's as inaccessible. I'm just like, oh, everyone has that. I'm gonna go to the beach in San Tropez this summer and see every person in Mew Mew.
- [13:22]
B
A million percent. Yes. One thing I will say on the Row. So I. I definitely think they've maneuvered that very, again, strategically. And I'm sure they did not want the Margot to pop off the way that it did. And so to kind of, you know, wheel that back in. But they've just released the Idaho bag, which is one of their highly coveted ones, in a shoulder style. I actually just got it for myself, so it's at home. And it'll be really interesting to see how that that goes. But that's a really. If we're going to talk about summer bags, that style, because it's always kind of been as the carry style and it came to my attention because a client requested it and was already, you know, not available online. And I think another thing what they have done and it does state this online is that this style is available to shop in store only. So I think that kind of it's.
- [14:10]
A
Wow. Yeah. So you can't buy it anywhere online. You have, I mean obviously resale, but you have to go in store to buy it.
- [14:17]
B
It'd be. I have not yet seen it on multi brand so it'll be interesting to see if, you know, the My Teresa of the world purchased it or were even allowed to purchase it. But for that style in particular, you have to buy it in store from the row.
- [14:31]
A
That's a really interesting strategy. I haven't seen. Have you seen any other brands do that?
- [14:35]
B
No.
- [14:36]
A
I know you're a big fan of the Row. Every time I see you run something from the row, what is that signal to you as like a consumer and a fan?
- [14:43]
B
Oh, I really like this question. I would say that it makes the experience of having that item a little bit more special because I think naturally, and perhaps this is the industry that I work in and the world that I create a bit. I do like having pieces that are hard to get or may not be as attainable as others. So knowing that this bag and I think the row is a classic, if you know, you know, brand and I like that. I like knowing that, oh, you know, I won't see everyone wearing this style. Hopefully it might be something a little bit more special. So I feel as though that is what entices me.
- [15:21]
A
I mean, the scale of the Margot was insane.
- [15:24]
B
And I think too for longevity of that piece, even when you go to potentially resell it down the line, if you wish to pass it on, then it's much more favorable if it was of like a very limited piece as opposed to everyone being able to have that piece that kind of loses its value over time.
- [15:43]
A
So what other bags do you think are going to be the it bags of the summer? I really, I'm excited to see this Idaho bag. But what other. I would love to hear from you, just normal bags, but also beach bags. Because beach bags in my opinion are tough.
- [15:55]
B
Yes, yes, they really are. I would say that. I mean certainly, you know, Chanel, Cocoa beach have released various ones. I would say that I, and I'm going on record to say it, I would say I'm slightly surprised by the price point of some of those beach
- [16:12]
A
bags that they release.
- [16:13]
B
They are Quite high for, you know, Rafia, etc.
- [16:17]
A
How much are these Cocoa Beach Chanel bags?
- [16:19]
B
8K. She's up there. But that was. That. That was an interesting pricing option. And then so one that I definitely think again, Celine, pretty consistently over the years have always released a. A summer handbag that has been popular. There was one time there was like the round one that had the logo at the front of it or raffia. This time they have released a new style which I've been eyeing off, and I do anticipate it to continue to pick up. It was produced in a couple of sizes and it walked the Runway. It's basically a big raffia tote and it has their little teeny logo details on the. On the closure of the bag. Very subtle, very chic. But I do think Celine is certainly up there in the lead as will take as like one of the bags to have. And then I think it is this Miu Miu one that I spotted. It was just yesterday. It's a new little. It's a little basket bag in a wicker style. But naturally it's always going to be raffia or wicker that I think really pops off for summer.
- [17:25]
A
It's so interesting because I feel like in the past years.
- [17:28]
B
What?
- [17:28]
A
We're 30 minutes into this podcast. Saint Laurent hasn't been mentioned once.
- [17:32]
B
Oh, yeah.
- [17:33]
A
And I feel like usually there's always something. I remember a few years ago, they had that beaded beach bag that everybody wanted to get their hands on. They had the mini sequin one. I'm such a tried and true Saint Laurent accessories girl. I love. I find their shoes to be so uncomfortable, but I will still buy them because I love them and they're chic as hell. They are the best shoes. Pain is beauty. Beauty is pain. Whatever we say. But it's interesting. Do you think there's anything coming from there? I feel like they haven't had a standout bag in a moment.
- [18:02]
B
I haven't.
- [18:03]
A
Yes. And I'm itching. Please, Anthony, I'm such a fan. Like, just give us.
- [18:07]
B
You know what I will say. I think they're too busy trying to control their jackets. Their jacket is just. You know, which jacket I'm talking.
- [18:16]
A
The leather jacket.
- [18:17]
B
No, the. I'm now calling it the Rosie Hunterton Whiteley jacket. It's on our. I feel I saw it for her recently, but it's like the. The track jacket. That's the windbreakers. The Windbreakers are still so popular, but I will say just this week they released a reversible new season style. It is for sure going to sell out. And even though we are going into summer, I posted it on our stories last night, and boom, clients are wanting it badly. But it's what I love about it is it has a very vintage feel to it. It's like an oversized jacket, couple of pockets, teeny little YSL logo here has Saint Laurent on the back collar. And just their jackets are doing so well. I don't know any other brand right now that's selling jackets as strongly as Saint Laurent.
- [19:08]
A
I know we touched on trends at the beginning, but let's circle back there because I feel like what you're talking about right now, this kind of, like, vintage inspired athletic wear is maybe one of the smaller trends that I'm seeing of the summer. I know the World cup is the summer, so maybe we've got a little, like, sport sport enthusiast vibes coming into fashion. But besides that, what else are you seeing as, like, trends for the summer? What's exciting you?
- [19:33]
B
I would say that certainly there's. There's two things. I definitely think color in general. I think it's going to be a very bright summer, which is pretty consistent over the years. But I feel as though it's very heavily in what I'm seeing in various collections. And I feel that's driven by this desire of some playfulness and fun in our lives and wanting that and wanting to. To experience that with our fashion and what we're wearing. And there are so many brands that are doing that well. But I would also say that, you know, animal print is still going strong. So we've seen that from everything from leopard to pony hair. I think pony hair is dominating, and that is thanks to those Chanel ballerinas. But those are two that I would say are pretty consistent. And I would say with the animal print in particular, it's footwear that is really taking the lead.
- [20:24]
A
Yeah, I've seen a lot of, like, Manolo Blahnik has the cutest pony hair, like, spotted pony hair shoes right now that are adorable. And I was like, that is a fun summer shoe. I would love those. Yeah, it just like, I feel like even with, like, what you and I are wearing now, it just adds, like, a fun personality moment. I think shoes are having a fun moment right now. Like, if anything, I feel like I've been seeing a lot of fun shoes for summer, which is I love, because I always think that fashion swings like a pendulum. We went from, like, you know, minimalism and quiet luxury.
- [20:58]
B
We dare even say the word.
- [20:59]
A
I Like, freeze like a robot. I'm sorry, Ql. Let's keep it there. And now I feel like we're having a lot more fun with fashion. I feel the same for shoes. Like, last summer was the Havaiana's Jellyflots situation, and now I'm seeing, like, so many embellished rhinestone sequins. Charm shoes. And, like, it's really fun.
- [21:17]
B
Yes.
- [21:17]
A
I'm loving it.
- [21:18]
B
I'm the exact same. And it was to the point, even when I was writing my latest hot List, majority of it was shoes. And I think for, you know, ready to wear. I'm trying to think of what has been coming through as requested styles, but shoes are by far dominating.
- [21:37]
A
I think it's because in the summer, like, you can wear the same shoes. Spring, fall, winter. But summer shoes are very specific.
- [21:44]
B
Yes.
- [21:44]
A
What's the shoe of the summer?
- [21:46]
B
Oh, what is the shoe of the summer? I'm sorry to mention Chanel again. It's really. You're going to be sick of me.
- [21:52]
A
We're in Chanel mania. We really just call a spade a spade.
- [21:56]
B
It really is that.
- [21:57]
A
Yeah.
- [21:57]
B
So I would say it's definitely going to be a Chanel shoe or it would be a Celine style. So these ones from Celine have been extremely popular. Wow. They're really great at creating, like, embellished sandals. And then the other one is. It's those Celines that I mentioned before, but I. Oh, the rock.
- [22:20]
A
Here we go. Yeah. Wait.
- [22:21]
B
I was actually off Tanya's.
- [22:24]
A
I love those. Okay. Describing for everybody who's watching, who's listening audibly. They're a very fat sandal. Is that a toe?
- [22:32]
B
Yes.
- [22:32]
A
Okay. So, like, I call them a toe port.
- [22:35]
B
A toe port.
- [22:36]
A
It's like a port for your toe.
- [22:37]
B
I love that you steal that toe port.
- [22:39]
A
I think they're uncomfortable and they make me blister, but I blister easily. But so they have like a little toe. Not a ring, but like a little toe. You know what I mean? A toe ring, but not metallic. There's no metal. And then it wraps around and there's like a cute little celine logo. Like CC, not Chanel CC, but we're all CCing these days. And they're like on the strap, and it goes around the strap. Those are cute. Celine doesn't hit my algorithm. Really isn't that interesting.
- [23:06]
B
Really never.
- [23:08]
A
It never hits my algorithm.
- [23:11]
B
I will say. Cause it's an interesting one. Like, I'm trying to think of. You know, we see Chanel unboxing. It's every. Every Day. But I'm trying to think of, like, where does Seline's hype come from? Because you're right, like, it's. It's not a heavily social media spoken.
- [23:27]
A
It's not a viral brand. No. Seline might be one of the only brands out there that like, has that like, loyal consumer base who, like, doesn't share it.
- [23:37]
B
Yeah.
- [23:38]
A
Do you know what I mean?
- [23:39]
B
Yes. Like, I, I'm such a fan of Michael Rider, so I was ecstatic for him to come into the, to the brand. But it is true because I think too, like, if you're wearing Celine, you're. You're wearing the logo. Because a lot of their pieces, even though it's subtle, you're buying into the brand where, you know, Mimi, like, you are buying it to be able to show that it's me, me. But Celine could go both ways. Some of it's totally very subtle. You would have no idea. And others for that. For example, those shoes. But it's a really good point. It's one of those brands that are just. It kind of flies under the radar. But the fact that it is certainly up there, I would say top three most requested and best selling brands at present. It's. It's saying something.
- [24:25]
A
I think one of the biggest things that I see from the brand and that I'm seeing now in general in fashion are like the giant buckle belt. Yes.
- [24:32]
B
Yes.
- [24:32]
A
Dior made one and we had Carla Welch on the podcast and she walked in wearing it and I was like.
- [24:37]
B
I think her photo was like, when viral. Speaking of viral moments. She was like on a chair with the jeans.
- [24:43]
A
Yeah, it was, it was. That was important fashion history for me. It made me really want it. But yeah, these, like, kind of big buckle belts that I feel like have really taken over the industry a little bit. I'm seeing them everywhere.
- [24:56]
B
Same.
- [24:56]
A
Yeah.
- [24:57]
B
I would say it's an unexpected totally moment.
- [25:01]
A
Totally.
- [25:01]
B
But I would say that to set it off. Dior and Celine. Celine. The Celine ones by far been a very big seller for me. And they've just released a new season version which has like multiple buckles at the front. Little bit on the higher price point. But yeah, big buckle belts are definitely having a moment.
- [25:23]
A
I think now more than ever since all the designers have shifted, people want to like pledge their allegiance to brands.
- [25:30]
B
Yes.
- [25:30]
A
I. I swear. It's what I think. It's like I've either been an OG fan of Celine, like, I've been here or like I'm a Chanel fan. Like, not that I I will never say Logomania is coming back. I don't see that ever happening. I don't see me wearing like a Fendi logo jacket like I did 10 years ago.
- [25:48]
B
I have flashback memories of me.
- [25:49]
A
It took me right back, right back. But I do think that there's a bit more of a desire to show a quote, quiet allegiance to brands through items like that. I personally feel like it's like wearing your favorite team's jersey.
- [26:03]
B
I obviously love the brand. I love the, the designer. But I would say that I often do purchase because I love the designer, Dior, Jonathan. I love Jonathan so much. And I would say that speaking of Dior is a brand that unfortunately having this conversation a year ago, never had received a request for a unfortunate very long time. We're seeing an increase. I'm really excited to see what he continues to do there. I think we're going to be seeing a lot more of Dior from a trending perspective. Best selling, most requested standpoint.
- [26:39]
A
What are people requesting from Dior?
- [26:41]
B
So it's the shoes. So the, the most beautiful bow shoes.
- [26:45]
A
The bow heel. I love those. They have them in like a kind of like a baby blue that I'm like, do I just, I'm, I'm a sentimental buyer. So even again, for the debut Chanel collection, like I bought those shoes because I'm like, I can't wait to look back in 10 years and say like, you know that that was part of a moment in time. Yes. And I like really believe in fashion as like a time capsule that way. But I've thought of like, I haven't done my Dior by yet because I've kind of been between the belt and the bow shoes. I think those bow heels are so, so fabulous, so beautiful.
- [27:15]
B
And they've just. I have to show you these. I'm so like my phone, I dyed at these. This is a new color that just came out and oh my God, I'm sick over those.
- [27:27]
A
Okay. For audible listeners, they're pink, but what are those floral appliques on there? So it's like a white, red, pink, bright lime green floral applique all over the shoe. Those are fun. Those are really fun. Fun. And I'm sure will be released in limited quantity because they're very specific.
- [27:43]
B
I agree. I do feel, I don't know price point on them yet, but I agree. I think they'll be limited, but it's great to see that they've. They know that's a best selling style. So I think they will continue to Release that bow style in more colors.
- [27:57]
A
Very cute.
- [27:57]
B
And prints.
- [27:58]
A
I love it. Let's talk color of the summer.
- [28:00]
B
Yes.
- [28:01]
A
What are you feeling?
- [28:02]
B
I definitely think blue. And I do also feel that pink, light pink is not going anywhere. It did trend heavily last year, but I think it's going to continue this year. But the one that I've seen slowing down is yellow, baby yellow. I know that it had a huge moment more towards last summer, but I haven't really seen much this season. So blues ready to take over.
- [28:26]
A
It's interesting. I've seen it not just in fashion. Well, I feel like we have had so many moments that's like, brought blue in. But I feel like that cerulean blue was really big last summer. I remember, like, I did a whole post about it being like, this is my color of the summer. And I feel like sometimes it takes. Just takes a second for, like, colors to really take hold. But then we had the Devil Wears Prada little cerulean blue moment. You kind of saw that everywhere. I feel like Haley's look at the Met gala was like that beautiful deep blue. And then I also have seen it in beauty. Like, I don't know if you've seen Charli XCX on the COVID of British Vogue. She had this insane blue eyeshadow. And same Zendaya had it on Brazilian Vogue. She had like insane blue eyeshadow too. So I feel like this blue has just kind of come everywhere in. In style again. But I don't know. I try to think about why blue for summer for me always resonates. Like, I always just want to be in like a baby blue tee.
- [29:20]
B
Yes.
- [29:21]
A
And a bright blue button down. I think to me it just like, it's just the color of, like, ease. I agree. And it's like what people want to feel. And I think oftentimes things trend in fashion based on like, what people want to feel or what they're looking forward to.
- [29:34]
B
Exactly that.
- [29:35]
A
Exactly.
- [29:36]
B
And I could not agree more. I think that I love blue. Blue is my favorite color. It's the gabwallet.com color brand color. And I feel like it, to me, it just screams everything to do with summer. It reminds me of blue skies, the water, being by the beach, the ocean, everything in between. So it would make sense that it pops off at this time of the year.
- [29:56]
A
I want to circle back to shoes really quickly because one of my favorite moments from last year was you and I were actually talking about the row flip flops. And they were viral. Everybody wanted them. But it was so interesting because they were not being requested by you at all. You were seeing no requests for it. So I wonder if there's anything in the world right now that you see trending everywhere but just isn't actually translating to sales.
- [30:24]
B
That is such a great question. I'm trying to think through various brands right now. I guess there's mixed conversation online, but I never receive any Gucci requests from Demna, unfortunately, whether it may take some time, but there's nothing that has crept through. And I think it's, you know, it's. The sourcing industry to me is always so fascinating because I see my customer journey begins when the item does sell out. Right. So I don't know, I can't see anything that's happening at the store level. But for consumers to get to a point where they've, it's sold out and they're willing to come to myself, a source and say, I, I want this item so badly that I'm happy to pay retail and your sourcing fee, it's really interesting data. Like we said that the pieces that I received requests for have kind of reached that point. So I, you know, they could be receiving a full sell through in store maybe, but they haven't created enough demand to warrant the consumer to take it to the next level of, okay, I'm going to go and have it sourced. And I'm not seeing that unfortunately from Gucci at present. And.
- [31:36]
A
Bummed. I know, I know. I agree though, because I feel like there wasn't anything in that show where I was like, oh, I need that. And I was pretty. I still, I still love Gucci as a brand. But, you know, I think of the Jackie, I think of those embellished shoes. Those are all items that I feel like really, really popped off over the last few years. So I think they just need to have their, their hit accessory moment. And they will. It'll happen. Exactly. But again, I like to say, like whenever a designer joins a new house, you have to give them a couple seasons, please. That's something like Chanel is an anomaly and that is a match made in heaven. And, and I, and I think that's great for the industry. I think it actually reinvigorated honestly, millions of people in the way that they feel about fashion. Genuinely like that. The response was so great, but that's not the norm. I mean, I think of so many designers, you have to give them a little bit of time. And I was bummed to see with Dario Batali at Versace, you know, to have him leave after his. Right. His debut show. That collection is actually selling in stores now. Yes, I see it everywhere.
- [32:33]
B
Yes.
- [32:34]
A
And it's like, just because the Runway reception wasn't well doesn't mean it's not gonna sell on the floor. I think, in general, everybody needs to give designers a little bit of grace. Let's let them get their feet wet.
- [32:45]
B
I could not agree more. But kind of what. What you just said sparks something in me in that I think the conversation that Chanel really ignited globally is, is this concept of, like, fashion is fun again. And I think that's from Chanel specifically. But what is now translating to summer and summer trends is just fun and playfulness, and it's at a level that I haven't really seen in the past or certainly not recently of fun dressing.
- [33:17]
A
Yeah. I would say, like, the overarching theme that I think of is color, and you said that at the beginning of the episode. I just think everything across the board, even the shoes you're wearing, like, I don't feel like we would have seen those. That color combination years ago. And I feel like sometimes in fashion, you've got these moments where there's a lot of change happening in the industry, and that's when trend cycles are big because everything feels new and exciting. And I actually kind of like these moments more than I like the trend cycles, because it's like, okay, we've gone through all the change, and now it's digested, which I think is healthy for fashion.
- [33:47]
B
I agree. It's healthy.
- [33:48]
A
I really, like, I'm kind of happy that I'm like, there's no, like, trend that we're, you know, call rallying around. Yes. Thousand percent.
- [33:56]
B
I agree. And I think even pieces in my wardrobe that I perhaps wouldn't have worn, you know, this time last year, because it's colorful and it's very playful, and it's fun. Like, I'm bringing them out this summer. I'm going to be wearing them. So I think exactly that. I'm glad that we're getting a nice little breath of fresh air from trend in this constant trend cycle that feels to be nonstop.
- [34:18]
A
I want to go through a little lightning round with you.
- [34:21]
B
Yes.
- [34:21]
A
We're going to go through some of the biggest, like, summer themes, and I want you to tell me if you're into it or not, but also where you'd get it from, because again, I feel like you have such a good gauge of everything out there in the world. So tell us if you're into it and where you'd get it. Okay. One thing I've been seeing a lot of silk taffeta pants.
- [34:39]
B
Yes, I like them. I really like them. I'm trying to think of a brand that I'm seeing them on recently.
- [34:46]
A
You know where I just saw a pair this morning. That brand Chan Luke. Have you ever seen that brand?
- [34:50]
B
I kid you not. I was going to. So they did a shopping event at Earl irl.
- [34:57]
A
Yeah, I haven't, but I love her substack. Laurel Panton. Yes. I want to go in there. In Beverly Hills now. Yes.
- [35:03]
B
And they did a shopping event last Friday. And I'm not proud to admit this. When I got the invitation, I was like, oh, I haven't heard of this brand before. And I looked them up. Stunning.
- [35:13]
A
Very beautiful. Love amazing jewelry, by the way. I don't know if you've seen first summer jewelry. It's incredible.
- [35:18]
B
Agreed.
- [35:19]
A
And really good price point too.
- [35:20]
B
Yes. Yeah, 100%.
- [35:22]
A
Okay. Love blue.
- [35:24]
B
50 out of 10 need every shade of blue. This is my favorite. And I obviously love the lighter blue as well.
- [35:31]
A
Where is that from again?
- [35:32]
B
Wrangley. Yes.
- [35:33]
A
We love wrangling in this house, and it's such good.
- [35:35]
B
I love the quality. I love the fit. Morgan's done such a great job with it. Yeah, you need it. You need this. This T shirt. I couldn't recommend it enough. Hopefully it's still available.
- [35:44]
A
Do you know what I like about this? I bought a very similar blue tee just like that from Reformation, like, two months ago. And I find that sometimes when trending colors come into play, people overcomplicate it. Oh, my God. I need to wear that color to the wedding or an event or something like that. And sometimes it's as simple as wearing a red, yellow, blue tee under your leather jacket and just mixing it up a little bit. And it doesn't have to be this crazy investment. It can be a $25 purchase from Old Navy. But I think that that's how that's the tea is such an easy way to play around with color.
- [36:16]
B
And I will say, too, I think part of really embracing color for the season ahead whilst we're in this, you know, fun theme, you know, play around with mixing different colors. Like, I personally wouldn't usually mix a blue top with this color shoes, but, like, my little clutch that I'm wearing
- [36:33]
A
is wearing, like, a little bottega.
- [36:35]
B
And so, like, play around, mix colors that you wouldn't usually mixed together. I mean, Matthew is obviously doing it
- [36:42]
A
and he's killing it. Killing it.
- [36:44]
B
So it's saying something. So that's something I would do. If you're purchasing a blue shirt, like play around with it. Style it with colors that you wouldn't usually match it with.
- [36:53]
A
Oversized sunnies. Love.
- [36:56]
B
There's actually a pair of Celine ones right now. They're like super round and been highly requested. St. Laurent does an amazing job at oversized. Phoebe. Philo. We haven't actually mentioned Phoebe. I'm actually shocked that I haven't brought.
- [37:10]
A
Super surprised. Yeah.
- [37:11]
B
Yes. She is doing really well. I would say again for her shoes and her accessories. Sunglasses, the Bombay style. Still.
- [37:20]
A
I see those everywhere.
- [37:21]
B
Everywhere.
- [37:21]
A
Those sunnies, I feel like have become quintessential for her brand.
- [37:24]
B
Yes. And now she's reduced the half. Have you seen that style where they've. They've. It's the half Bombay. And so that basically the bottom doesn't have a, like a edging. It's just the.
- [37:33]
A
The interesting.
- [37:34]
B
Yeah. So they too have been popular.
- [37:37]
A
Big belt buckles.
- [37:39]
B
Yes. Tick love. And I would say that Seline and Dior are the two brands that set that off, started it.
- [37:47]
A
Graphic tees.
- [37:48]
B
Agreed. I would say that I. We didn't speak about them earlier, but shop. Rlt. I love her.
- [37:56]
A
Listeners know we love Rachel in this house. She's been on the show. It's my favorite store in la. Those teas. And you know what? That is the perfect place to get a vintage tee. A graphic tee.
- [38:06]
B
Straight there.
- [38:07]
A
And she has them online too.
- [38:08]
B
Yes.
- [38:09]
A
Yeah. Okay.
- [38:09]
B
She's got such a great eye and I love her sourcing and good price point. Everything.
- [38:14]
A
Yes. Rlt World cup dressing. Track pants, track jackets. Yes.
- [38:19]
B
I would say that I like it. I wouldn't say it's trickled into my DMs as a requested style just yet.
- [38:29]
A
But what about that windbreaker from St. Laurent?
- [38:32]
B
Oh, yeah, that would be.
- [38:33]
A
I feel like that's like part of it. Right. I feel like I've seen on my feed so much like girls and like capris and like little windbreakers. It's very Hailey Bieber. It's very track jacket. We talked about this actually at the top of the year on the podcast about how utility wear, but also like wet, like good weather wear is going to be a big thing this year. Like great snow gear, rain gear. And I feel like that's kind of a trickle down of that. And I think it's like perfectly primed for a very sporty summer we have coming up.
- [39:00]
B
Yes, agreed.
- [39:02]
A
Yeah.
- [39:02]
B
I wonder if. Because even my Saint Laurent contacts did say they're anticipating this jacket will have the same effect as their original one. So I wonder if they anticipated for the first one to pop off the way that it did. The windbreaker. I mean, that one I lived in whilst I was in Japan because it was so windy, and my Saint Laurent windbreaker protected me.
- [39:24]
A
And I feel like, I mean, you're an Aussie and an LA girl now, but, like, the summer. Summer jackets are really challenging. I'm someone who likes, for starters, like, LA gets cold at night. I will wear my trench coats in the summer at night when it's 50 degrees and I don't care. But I do think finding that good, like, light jacket to go with everything is very challenging. Like, you almost want to find, like, a thin jacket that, like, the windbreaker works. Yes. But sometimes I'll look for, like, what? Like, I'll just look for something that feels a bit more thin. It's kind of hard to find.
- [39:54]
B
It's a great point. Yes.
- [39:56]
A
Yeah.
- [39:57]
B
La LA is a tricky one.
- [39:58]
A
Okay, before we wrap, I want to get into a little segment that we have called let's get you dress. We let our listeners send in, you know, things they have coming up or kind of wardrobe qualms they have, and then we ask our guests to answer them. And this, I thought, would be a great one for you, especially as an Aussie who is like, you're so good at summer dressing. One of our listeners, Kelly Clan, asked, what are some outfit ideas that you have for those who don't wear shorts and don't love sandals for the summer?
- [40:26]
B
Ooh, I love that. So they don't wear shorts, and they don't wear sandals. Sandals.
- [40:31]
A
Which, by the way, I don't really wear shorts either. So I'm excited about this answer.
- [40:34]
B
I would not.
- [40:35]
A
Jean short girl.
- [40:36]
B
Okay. I feel as though. So if they're not wearing shorts and they're not wearing sandals, I would go for, like, hopefully, like, a baggy jean. That's what I live in in summer, with a tank top up top, a graphic tee up top. And if you're not doing sandals, I mean, a classic sneaker is always still amazing to have. But I would say it's not a full loafer, but Chanel have just released, like, a mule style that I would perhaps just slide on in whenever, wherever you're going. And I think that you can definitely get away with a mule style in summer.
- [41:17]
A
I saw those. I like them a lot.
- [41:18]
B
Yes.
- [41:19]
A
Yeah, they're. They look like a loafer from the front. Exactly. But they're, like, a little bit easier in the back. I'm also a big pointed toe flat girl. I'm wearing them now.
- [41:26]
B
Are these the Loro Pianas?
- [41:27]
A
Yes. I have them in every color. They're my favorite shoe. They're.
- [41:30]
B
Becca. Is that what they're called?
- [41:31]
A
Yeah, they're called the Rebecca flat. They're from Loro Piana and I got them a few years ago and loved them so much. They just break in so.
- [41:36]
B
Well, I'm glad to know they're comfortable.
- [41:38]
A
They're so. I mean, like you. You know, we always break in once or twice, but I love them and I feel like they make even, like, baggy jeans in a tee look great.
- [41:47]
B
Yes. But that's. I. I'm. I'm envisioning it.
- [41:49]
A
I'm.
- [41:49]
B
I'm. Baggy jeans.
- [41:51]
A
A typical. Perfect. Yes.
- [41:53]
B
With either a style similar to that or a meal.
- [41:58]
A
Very cute side meal. I love that. That feels like a great summer uniform.
- [42:01]
B
I agree.
- [42:01]
A
Yeah.
- [42:02]
B
I agree. That's. I would wear that. Yeah.
- [42:03]
A
Thank you for coming back. We love having you on. It's always so fun, and honestly, it just feels like the start of summer when you're here. I love that little ray of sunshine.
- [42:10]
B
Oh, thank you so much of having me.
- [42:12]
A
Of course. Guys, everyone listening. Everything we talked about today is linked in the description of this episode. So you can find everything we were talking about. Thank you, G. Thank you.
