Flavor of Fashion Belle Barreiro Seiden

In this episode, Belle chats with Nashville-based iPhone photographer, Nita' Ann. Nita has turned her side hustle and hobby of iPhone photography into a full-time career in just 3-4 years. Her story began with shooting content for her friends on her college campus back in 2020. She now lives in a high-rise in downtown Nashville, making a full-time income off of iPhone photography and videography alone.

Nita shoots all types of genres - from fashion and portrait, to lifestyle, vintage and neon photography. She also shoots a lot of concerts and music videos. Nita works with fashion brands, businesses and performers, and is changing the game in both the entertainment and photography industries. She's even been highlighted on local news networks, in addition to several other podcasts, and her work has been featured on a billboard here in Nashville.

Learn about how Nita has grown her business from the ground up and built a strong social media presence. Plus, what differentiates her from traditional photographers, how she edits her photos, her Lightroom presets, shooting music videos, and her merch brand. You'll also hear about how Nita is able to offer affordable prices and quick turn-around times, strategic marketing, her Nashville recommendations & so much more!

In this episode, Belle chats with former textile dyer and Executive VP of Fibre52, Graham Stewart. Graham has worked in the textile industry for over 40 years and found that the way cotton is processed and produced has not changed much at all. As a result of years of practice and application, Graham discovered a new, sustainable formula to process cotton that uses less heat, energy, water and time than any current method (called Fibre52). The Fibre52 recipe also uses gentle bioproducts instead of heavy, forever chemicals that contaminate water supplies around the world. On top of that, the process maintains the quality of cotton and can create durable, performance fabrics that are used in athletic wear.

Learn about the ecological and economical advancements of Fibre52 and how it’s revolutionizing the fashion industry. Plus, the meaning behind the name, R&D, Graham’s other favorite fibers, how brands can use Fibre52, patents for intellectual property, future plans for expanding into other product categories, textile recycling, the circular economy, and more!
