Pair of Kings
Hosted by Sol Thompson and Michael Smith, Pair of Kings is a fashion podcast that explores the relationship we have with and through our clothing, through themes of identity, sustainability, and collective affinity. The weekly podcast exists between legacy media and new-age influencer coverage of fashion, highlighting creatives who push the envelope with their distinctive impact on the fashion world, current events, and focusing on what's new, invigorating, and notable.
Pair of Kings
13.3 - How We Fix the Fashion Industry, NYFW Notes, and the Friends of Pair of Kings Live Show!
Michael and Sol report live from their Komune popup, full of a live studio audience! Tune in as the boys talk about the highlights and lowlights from New York Fashion Week, why calling brands "emerging" isn't only a misnomer but deeply offensive, how to be #26andtappedin, the lack of quality menswear in New York, comic books, Matt Mercer, perfumery, hatmaking, what it's like to run a popup, and why spaces like Komune matter so much for fashion!
They also have a few surprise guests, including shoe and bootmaker Ives Barrera, Joseph Baumeister from Perfume Making Co., and a whole host of listeners who ask questions live!
Hope you enjoy - thank you so much for coming out to support the podcast!
Lots of love!
