| Is Designer Dead? Ep 5: Kimora Lee, Carrie Bradshaw & the Culture of Cool | 28 Aug 2025 | 00:33:40 | |
From sneaker drops to stilettos, this week we’re unpacking the price of cool. We start with Supreme’s fall from hype heaven (remember when Jordans were the ultimate flex?) before diving into Baby Phat’s comeback and why Life in the Fab Lane still lives rent-free in our heads. Then it’s onto Carrie Bradshaw’s latest chaos in And Just Like That…—where the clothes may be kooky, but our opinions are even louder. And finally, respect to all the girls braving So Kates: because yes, beauty really is pain. | |||
| Is Designer Dead? Ep 4: Who Runs The Runway? Beyoncé, Women Fashion Designers, and Who Gets To Sell Their Company? | 16 Jul 2025 | 00:44:53 | |
In Ep 4 of Is Designer Dead?, we unpack the Cowboy Carter effect, why women still don’t dominate fashion design, and who really gets to exit on their terms (spoiler: not everyone’s Rhode to a big payday looks the same). | |||
| Is Designer Dead? Ep 3: Men’s fashion we love, Coach is back, Labubu must go | 05 Jun 2025 | 00:41:56 | |
We’re back and questioning everything. In this episode, we talk about the comeback of brands we once left behind—Coach, Calvin Klein, and the genius of Glen Martens at Margiela. We also get into our Labubu ick (seriously, why?), the men’s fashion moments giving us life (Jacquemus’ Cali vibes and Amiri’s evolution), and what all of this says about where fashion is headed. | |||
| Is Designer Dead? Ep 2: Date Nights, Daddy MBJ & the Tariff Taboo | 13 May 2025 | 00:49:47 | |
We’re spiraling over Michael B. Jordan’s Sinners looks and breaking down exactly what to wear when you’re trying to turn heads on a date night (whether it’s a soft launch or a full seduction). Then we take a sharp left into China tariffs — because your cute corset top might be caught in a global trade war. Fashion, flirting, and foreign policy? You know we had to do it. | |||
| EP 01:01 Is Designer Dead? What is the State of Designer Fashion? | 10 Apr 2025 | 00:58:05 | |
Is Designer Dead? is your weekly dose of fashion chaos, culture commentary, and hot takes hotter than a front-row seat at Paris Fashion Week. From Demna's antics to the state of modern design, we break down what’s iconic, what’s idiotic, and ask the question — is the designer era over, or just getting started? | |||
