You could have heard this episode early AND can get access to our giveaway ($200+ in Komune credit!) at our HeroHero!
New York has struggled to establish a young in-person community around fashion since the 2010's. It's finally returning. Join Sol and Michael as they explore the revitalization of the NYC fashion scene, which centers around Orchard Street in the Lower East side, and the brands, people, and spaces that are powering that change. The boys also chat about brands with cult followings, the ability to sell to a customer base, the explosion of Basketcase's 'look', what the fashion scene looked like in the 2010s, our wonderful friends at Komune, and how we're now seeing the results of younger designers finding their footing when it comes to designing and referencing the clothes they love without being derivative.
Hope you enjoy this episode - I think it's a great one!
