  • Do style rules actually work, or do they make getting dressed harder?
    Oct 15 2024

    This week, we explore whether style rules are timeless or just tied to current trends. We cover basics like balancing proportions, the rule of thirds, and the three-color rule, but see them as flexible tools rather than hard-and-fast rules. We also touch on how style rules change with different generations and how social media has expanded our fashion choices. Ultimately, we believe style rules can be helpful but should be adapted to fit our personal preferences and not restrict us. It’s more about finding what feels right and enjoying our own unique style.

    Chapters
    00:00 Introduction and Question about Style Rules
    06:00 Style Rules as Tools, Not Gospel
    10:32 Generational Differences in Style Rules
    13:27 The Influence of Social Media on Style Rules
    18:53 Introduction to the concept of style rules
    25:53 Exploring different styles and proportions
    31:29 The cyclical nature of fashion and style

  • Are luxury brands ripping us off?
    Sep 17 2024

    In this chat, we dive into a recent scandal with Christian Dior and their production practices. We’re looking at the gap between the cost of making Dior handbags and their sky-high prices. We also touch on transparency issues in the luxury industry and whether high prices actually mean higher quality.

    We share our thoughts on why we buy luxury items and the need to question their value and quality. We’re frustrated with brands that charge a lot but deliver little, especially when we expect top-notch quality and craftsmanship. Is it all about shareholder greed?
    We discuss the importance of transparency and accountability in luxury brands, pointing out those that genuinely prioritize quality and ethics, versus those that let us down with subpar products.
