Key Discussion Points & Insights

Julie's Impact and Street Style Iconography

• Introduction to Julie

  • Larry recalls first meeting Julie during her BPMW and Fader days, where her reputation as a top-tier stylist preceded her.
    • "Make sure the good original penguin polos are out." – Larry [00:33]
  • Jimmy met her through Pesco (her assistant at Fader):
    "No, I've definitely met her through Pesco because he was her assistant at the Fader." – Jimmy [00:58]

• The Realities of Styling in NYC

  • Jimmy and Larry get nostalgic and jest about the classic "garment bag on the subway" look – a quintessential New York fashion industry moment.
    • "A young frazzled person overheating on a sub on the subway with garment bags." – Jimmy [01:17]
    • "It's a very New York moment. You guys wouldn’t get it." – Larry [01:27]

Navigating Street Style and Visibility

• Julie’s Relationship with Visibility

  • The hosts discuss their personal and Julie's possible complicated feelings about being constantly photographed as a street style icon.
    • "She is like very visible because she's an icon. And I just wonder how she... how she feels about being flicked up constantly." – Jimmy [02:03]
    • Larry jokes: "I mean, what's she going to do, dress like shit? No, allergic to that." [02:20]

• Comparisons to Nick Wooster and Functional Street Style

  • Jimmy notes that street style can be a career mechanism for some, while for Julie, her relationship to it may be different:
    • "Wooster, it's a mechanism for, you know, his bottom line... I wonder how much it does or doesn't help her, you know, pursuit when it comes to styling professionally." – Jimmy [02:28]

The Economics and Reality of Styling for Celebrities

• Why Julie's Moving Away From Celebrity Work

  • Larry and Jimmy agree that dealing with celebrities is a nightmare, with poor economics and generally underappreciated work.
    • "She was like, yeah, I'm kind of moving away from celebrity, which is like... that seems like the worst... aspect of anything." – Larry [02:50]
    • "Their schedules, everything's on their time, everything's their final decision. They're usually stupid." – Larry [03:01]
    • "You don’t get paid even remotely accurately for what you’re doing and the impact you’re making. Studios have, like, no budgets." – Jimmy [03:12]

• Changing Nature of Celebrity and Red Carpet

  • Larry references an article from The Cut, noting new-gen stars drive virality rather than box office:
    • "There's no longer Brad Pitt or a Tom Cruise... Jacob Elordi's, the Austin Butler's, the Timothy Chalamet's... create sensation and virality... around red carpet appearances, around press junkets..." – Larry [03:43]

• Styling Work's Media Value

  • Despite viral fashion moments being worth millions in marketing impressions, stylists rarely see fair compensation:
    • "Let’s say a Pedro Pascal fit goes crazy viral. The price of impressions would be like, you know, $50 million... She’s not getting any of that." – Larry [04:28]
    • "Hell no." – Jimmy [04:45]

    • "Diseased ball sacks." – Larry [05:17]
    • "The color is called top brown." – Larry [05:32]
    • "Top brown." – Jimmy [05:33]

Shopping Habits and Fashion Pressure [05:47–06:48]

• Julie's "Dangerous Game"

  • Jimmy admires Julie’s ability to shop without clocking the price first—a professional move that the hosts find aspirational but intimidating.
    • "I could never... The first thing I look at after I just see something that I'm, like, interested in... the price tag." – Jimmy [05:47]
    • "If price was out... then you should judge something based, like, purely on its merits and not necessarily just like its cost." – Larry [06:09]

• Menswear Shopping at Vêtements

  • Larry mentions the anxiety-inducing tactic of covering price tags at elite stores to weed out the "pussy or broke."
    • "The hangers cover up the price tags, which I think creates a little bit of a high pressure situation for dudes where it's like, yo, you're pussy or you're broke if you ask about the price..." – Larry [06:29]
