Saison 1 · Épisode 22

jeudi 7 mars 2024 • Durée 32:21

On the day makeup artist Terri Bryant learned she had Parkinson's, she returned home and raided her makeup kit and her husband's toolbox.

Adaptation and accommodation vs. authentic inclusion
What Terri learned from launching a beauty brand in the middle of the pandemic

Saison 1 · Épisode 12

vendredi 22 décembre 2023 • Durée 34:12

When pitching their inclusive eyewear brand to investors, Reframd ’s co-founders Shariff Vreugd and Ackeem Ngwenya often faced doubts about whether a market existed for their product. But if you look beyond the West, says Shariff, the opportunity is massive.

In the second of a two-part series on inclusive brands disrupting the eyewear industry, we talk about how Reframd is reimagining eyewear frame design to cater to communities that have traditionally been overlooked.

In this episode we discuss:

Why certain demographic groups have felt neglected by the eyewear industry
Why Reframd had to rethink its target audience post-launch
How the company's data and insights can benefit the eyewear industry
The test to determine if your glasses fit correctly

jeudi 21 décembre 2023 • Durée 30:59

Why having zero eyewear industry experience proved to be an advantage for Athina and Florence
How they ensured a successful Kickstarter campaign
Why customer feedback is an essential part of Covry’s design process
The 20+ steps involved in creating a single Covry frame

Making it as a plus size male model, with Raul Samuel - Episode 10

Saison 1 · Épisode 10

jeudi 14 décembre 2023 • Durée 26:06

“Where are the plus size male models?” It’s a question the Internet seemed to be asking just a few years ago. Now, a six-pack is no longer a prerequisite to grace the pages of the top fashion magazines. It’s proof, says my guest, Raul Samuel, that there's demand for more realistic-looking models. Still, as we discuss in the interview, not everyone in the fashion industry is convinced.

Some of the topics we cover in this conversation:

Why the fashion industry has been slow to accept plus size male models
What Raul has learned about body confidence since becoming a model
The changes he’d like to see in the fashion industry
Raul's favourite brands and tips for how to look good at any size

A perfect match: how Band-Aids became inclusive, with Intisar Bashir & Dom Apollon - Episode 8

Saison 1 · Épisode 8

jeudi 30 novembre 2023 • Durée 30:58

For many people of colour, wearing a plaster, or Band-Aid, that blends with their skin tone is a novel experience. While inclusive bandages are now widely available in countries like the UK and US, that's only happened in the last few years.

My two guests share their unique perspectives on this. Intisar Bashir is the co-founder and CEO of Browndages, one of the first companies to offer bandages in a range of skin tones, before giants like Johnson & Johnson seized on the opportunity. My other guest is Dom Apollon, whose 2019 tweet about the emotions he felt wearing a skin tone bandage for the first time went viral and inspired the UK supermarket chain Tesco to launch its own line of inclusive bandages.

In this episode we discuss:

How Browndages has responded to competition from larger players in the first aid care industry
What happened after Browndages’ appearance on 'Shark Tank'
Dom’s reflections on why his tweet resonated with people around the world

Bios

Intisar Bashir and her husband Rashid Mahdi launched Browndages in 2018 after noticing that none of the bandages they purchased in stores matched the skin of anyone in their family. The couple live in Columbus, Ohio with their four children. Intisar comes from a family of entrepreneurs and has always aspired to follow in their footsteps.

Dominique (“Dom”) Apollon is a US-based racial and social equity professional and the founder of Apollon Research and Consulting. From 2008 to 2022, Dom led the Research Department at Race Forward, one of the largest racial justice organisations in the US. Dom lives in California, where he completed his PhD in Political Science at Stanford University.

'Plus size' men's clothing: fashion's best kept secret, with Charlotte Griffiths of BRIDGE Agency - Episode 7

Saison 1 · Épisode 7

jeudi 23 novembre 2023 • Durée 32:07

When Charlotte Griffiths’ agency BRIDGE launched the UK’s first men’s division for bigger, broader male models in 2016, it was based on a hunch that the fashion industry was ready to embrace men of different shapes and sizes. In this week’s interview, Charlotte tells me how her gamble paid off and why brands need to let go of outdated stereotypes around men and fashion.

Charlotte is the owner and Managing Director of BRIDGE, a talent management agency established in 2014 that represents models and influencers internationally. The agency‘s ethos is to "bridge-the-gap" between standard and plus size models. After seeing a rise in mental health struggles for men, Charlotte recognised that to be a truly diverse agency they needed to bring men into the conversation around body positivity as well.

In this episode we discuss:

Charlotte’s brief stint as a model and how it influenced her decision to launch BRIDGE
How she got the inspiration to start the men’s division
The models she discovered and the campaigns they’ve worked on
Why she thinks some brands are reluctant to showcase larger men in their imagery
