Stylists (With Decoder Ring)
In honor of the Met Gala, a special feature. This is an episode I produced with one of my favorite podcasts, Decoder Ring. Together we asked the questions: what is a celebrity stylist? Where did this job come from? The answer was very fun.

The Clueless Closet
Ever since 1995, a generation has been dreaming of Cher’s digital closet from the movie Clueless. So why don’t we have it yet? It’s not the technology. It’s a psychological problem with the way fashion works.

On Pointe
The pointe shoe is a design that balances at the very tip of both tradition and innovation. What can make it change?
Customer Reviews
Yo, fantastic storytelling about clothing, from design to production.
Brilliant, so happy this is getting its own RSS fees, hopefully this means a few more seasons?
As someone interested in all questions related to how ‘clothes maketh the wo/man’, from design impetus to environmental impact of fashion, this is one of my favourites...up there with mothership 99pi and Radiolab.
Avery is a great, inquisitive host, wrapping everything up in wonderful storytelling.
...and then there is the theme song....❤️❤️❤️
Articles of interest
Thank you for this sharp and entertaining pod series for fabric/fashion nerds and all people interested in the everyday stuff that surrounds us.
Love this mini-series!
This mini-series was so fascinating, well-researched and well-told (classic 99 PI style). It opened my eyes to the hidden world of Hawaiian shirts, how many other podcasts would do that?!
