1 00:00:10,705 --> 00:00:15,385 Speaker 1: You're listening to Amma Mia podcast. Mamma Mia acknowledges the 2 00:00:15,425 --> 00:00:18,545 Speaker 1: traditional owners of land and waters that this podcast is 3 00:00:18,585 --> 00:00:22,785 Speaker 1: recorded on. Whoever said orange is a new pink with 4 00:00:22,945 --> 00:00:24,385 Speaker 1: seriously disturbed. 5 00:00:24,025 --> 00:00:26,385 Speaker 2: Laurels for spraying groundbreaking? 6 00:00:26,665 --> 00:00:28,025 Speaker 3: Oh my god, you have. 7 00:00:27,945 --> 00:00:28,425 Speaker 2: To do it. 8 00:00:28,505 --> 00:00:33,545 Speaker 1: You live for fashion. Hello, and welcome to Nothing to Wear, 9 00:00:33,745 --> 00:00:37,465 Speaker 1: the podcast that solves fashion problems and levels up your wardrobe. 10 00:00:37,625 --> 00:00:40,145 Speaker 1: I'm Lee Campbell and every week I chat to an 11 00:00:40,185 --> 00:00:42,665 Speaker 1: expert who helps us work out how to get more 12 00:00:42,665 --> 00:00:44,905 Speaker 1: out of the clothes we already own and tells us 13 00:00:44,945 --> 00:00:48,225 Speaker 1: exactly what is and isn't worth adding to our wardrobe. Now, 14 00:00:48,225 --> 00:00:50,305 Speaker 1: in case you missed it, last week, I got to 15 00:00:50,425 --> 00:00:54,785 Speaker 1: chat with Lucinda Perquat, a true expert in trend forecasting, 16 00:00:54,905 --> 00:00:56,825 Speaker 1: and we got to the bottom of what really makes 17 00:00:56,865 --> 00:01:00,385 Speaker 1: a brand call. Lucinda had so many incredible insights that 18 00:01:00,465 --> 00:01:02,705 Speaker 1: I had to ask her back again. We couldn't fit 19 00:01:02,785 --> 00:01:05,665 Speaker 1: it all in one episode. So this week we're unpacking 20 00:01:05,705 --> 00:01:10,785 Speaker 1: how to actually find these cool underground brands. Endorsements add 21 00:01:10,785 --> 00:01:13,185 Speaker 1: to the it factor, and of course we're going to 22 00:01:13,225 --> 00:01:15,745 Speaker 1: finish off with Bougie and budget and this week it's 23 00:01:15,825 --> 00:01:18,985 Speaker 1: Cool Brand addition, how do you discover all these newer 24 00:01:19,065 --> 00:01:20,945 Speaker 1: upcoming brands? Is it your algorithm? I mean, I know 25 00:01:20,985 --> 00:01:24,905 Speaker 1: it's your job, but call feels underground and a bit secret. 26 00:01:25,065 --> 00:01:27,825 Speaker 1: So how do you find what ends up on your radar? 27 00:01:28,145 --> 00:01:31,785 Speaker 3: It's just algorithm, but reading as well, and also just 28 00:01:31,865 --> 00:01:32,985 Speaker 3: choosing a category. 29 00:01:33,185 --> 00:01:35,145 Speaker 2: So recently I've been spending a bit of time on 30 00:01:35,225 --> 00:01:35,905 Speaker 2: surf culture. 31 00:01:36,185 --> 00:01:38,385 Speaker 1: You're so funny with your categories. You choose shorts for 32 00:01:38,425 --> 00:01:41,465 Speaker 1: the week, for the week, I mean, it's quite clever 33 00:01:41,585 --> 00:01:42,905 Speaker 1: rather than my scattered thoughts. 34 00:01:42,905 --> 00:01:45,025 Speaker 2: But then, but I am such a TYPEB person. I 35 00:01:45,145 --> 00:01:46,265 Speaker 2: know I'm sounding a little bit ach No. 36 00:01:46,345 --> 00:01:48,105 Speaker 1: I like that, So you'll go deep on it, like 37 00:01:48,105 --> 00:01:49,505 Speaker 1: on subset, Yeah. 38 00:01:49,345 --> 00:01:53,305 Speaker 3: And discover people because this is going back to that authenticity. 39 00:01:53,305 --> 00:01:57,145 Speaker 3: You can't fake being part of that subcultural brand. So 40 00:01:57,305 --> 00:02:00,665 Speaker 3: I actually think there's an opportunity, a niche within someone 41 00:02:00,745 --> 00:02:03,185 Speaker 3: creating an Australian surf around at the moment. And just 42 00:02:03,225 --> 00:02:06,185 Speaker 3: because I identify that doesn't mean I'm necessarily the right 43 00:02:06,225 --> 00:02:08,625 Speaker 3: person for it. No, because I don't know anything. I've 44 00:02:08,625 --> 00:02:11,705 Speaker 3: bought a surfboard once watching Crush, never used. 45 00:02:11,505 --> 00:02:14,145 Speaker 1: It, so that leads me to this. I think you've 46 00:02:14,185 --> 00:02:18,145 Speaker 1: answered it in your opinion. You can't manufacture coolness. 47 00:02:18,545 --> 00:02:22,225 Speaker 3: It's like the marketer or the consumer, so you can. 48 00:02:22,825 --> 00:02:24,825 Speaker 3: I don't think it's going to be as successful or 49 00:02:24,865 --> 00:02:28,345 Speaker 3: most likelihood of it succeeding. It has happened. So for example, 50 00:02:28,785 --> 00:02:31,985 Speaker 3: slightly off category, but an espresso. I always love using 51 00:02:31,985 --> 00:02:35,585 Speaker 3: this as an example. They're capsule pods. They've got George Clooney, 52 00:02:35,785 --> 00:02:39,225 Speaker 3: big budget behind them. Him is the face in terms 53 00:02:39,305 --> 00:02:41,905 Speaker 3: of the product. It's not like the best coffee you 54 00:02:41,945 --> 00:02:44,465 Speaker 3: can get on the market. But using him and the 55 00:02:44,545 --> 00:02:47,825 Speaker 3: idea that sort of challenging different product idea and how 56 00:02:47,905 --> 00:02:50,865 Speaker 3: you use it made it cool and true. 57 00:02:50,945 --> 00:02:51,185 Speaker 2: Son. 58 00:02:51,225 --> 00:02:52,705 Speaker 1: Then when you go to a Westfield, you know how 59 00:02:52,825 --> 00:02:55,705 Speaker 1: the top floor is always the fancy boutiques in espresso 60 00:02:55,865 --> 00:02:58,185 Speaker 1: stores up there, like, which makes it feel premium. It's 61 00:02:58,225 --> 00:02:59,505 Speaker 1: positioning right. 62 00:02:59,825 --> 00:03:03,585 Speaker 3: Consumer ad is where it's coming from, that cultural relevance, so. 63 00:03:03,625 --> 00:03:06,865 Speaker 1: That's probably more authentically cool other than paying money to 64 00:03:06,905 --> 00:03:08,305 Speaker 1: buy a celebrity to make it cool. 65 00:03:08,345 --> 00:03:10,225 Speaker 3: That's right, and I don't think it's ever a last 66 00:03:10,225 --> 00:03:13,145 Speaker 3: forever New Balance. They were the ones like that was 67 00:03:13,185 --> 00:03:17,585 Speaker 3: a Daggy so Daggy? What was that movie with Ryan Gosling. 68 00:03:17,905 --> 00:03:20,945 Speaker 1: Oh why not crazy stupid love, crazy sexy love, crazy 69 00:03:20,985 --> 00:03:21,545 Speaker 1: stupid love. 70 00:03:21,625 --> 00:03:25,545 Speaker 3: Yes, so and he actually threw them over the balcony. Yeah, 71 00:03:25,545 --> 00:03:27,985 Speaker 3: because they were cool. Yeah, but it was from that 72 00:03:28,025 --> 00:03:31,345 Speaker 3: whole gorpe core. It was consumer lad. I remember it 73 00:03:31,385 --> 00:03:33,465 Speaker 3: was Leon and Lo DiCaprio was one of the first 74 00:03:33,465 --> 00:03:36,745 Speaker 3: people to wear it, and then Haley Beaver Bella hadid 75 00:03:36,905 --> 00:03:40,065 Speaker 3: started wearing this shoe and it was consumer driven, which 76 00:03:40,065 --> 00:03:43,585 Speaker 3: made it cool. Whereas Tom Henshaw, who's the director of 77 00:03:43,625 --> 00:03:45,745 Speaker 3: Lifestyle and Marketing in the States, he said he never 78 00:03:45,825 --> 00:03:49,065 Speaker 3: anticipated them popping off to be a thing, right, So 79 00:03:49,345 --> 00:03:52,185 Speaker 3: they were two thousand and six, were just soul inserts, 80 00:03:52,305 --> 00:03:53,505 Speaker 3: orthotic inserts. 81 00:03:53,665 --> 00:03:54,465 Speaker 1: Isn't that insane? 82 00:03:54,505 --> 00:03:56,425 Speaker 2: They didn't want to be cool, No, and. 83 00:03:56,505 --> 00:03:58,665 Speaker 1: Now they're pretty happy they are. We're going to get 84 00:03:58,665 --> 00:04:01,145 Speaker 1: into Bougian budget in a moment, because honestly, I could 85 00:04:01,185 --> 00:04:02,865 Speaker 1: talk to you for ten years. But that leads me 86 00:04:02,945 --> 00:04:07,105 Speaker 1: into my last question. Celebrities influences. You've just kind of 87 00:04:07,105 --> 00:04:11,345 Speaker 1: illustrated how that can make a brain and skyrocket. Do 88 00:04:11,385 --> 00:04:14,465 Speaker 1: you think that as a regular consumer listening? I mean, 89 00:04:14,545 --> 00:04:19,265 Speaker 1: some people love to emulate what people in the public 90 00:04:19,265 --> 00:04:21,905 Speaker 1: eye are wearing. Do you think that can be detrimental 91 00:04:21,945 --> 00:04:25,825 Speaker 1: to a brand if it feels like to product placement 92 00:04:25,905 --> 00:04:28,585 Speaker 1: or sold out. What role do you reckon Celebrities and 93 00:04:28,665 --> 00:04:30,105 Speaker 1: influences play in this space. 94 00:04:30,265 --> 00:04:31,065 Speaker 2: Yeah, a lot. 95 00:04:31,145 --> 00:04:33,745 Speaker 3: They play a huge role. We saw it with Crocs 96 00:04:33,905 --> 00:04:36,105 Speaker 3: even that was an example of like a daggy chow. 97 00:04:36,145 --> 00:04:38,945 Speaker 3: Do you feel about crocs? I've never worn them. I 98 00:04:38,945 --> 00:04:40,825 Speaker 3: don't know, mind eventually I tried. 99 00:04:40,945 --> 00:04:43,145 Speaker 1: I mean they're very comfortable. Unfortunately I thought it would 100 00:04:43,145 --> 00:04:45,145 Speaker 1: feel like walking in a bucket, but they're very comfortable. 101 00:04:45,185 --> 00:04:48,705 Speaker 3: Yeah, but it was justin Bieber. It was around that 102 00:04:48,745 --> 00:04:52,265 Speaker 3: whole functional style and trend. He was wearing the yellow 103 00:04:52,305 --> 00:04:54,425 Speaker 3: ones and that's sort of what took. 104 00:04:54,665 --> 00:04:54,705 Speaker 1: So. 105 00:04:54,785 --> 00:04:58,305 Speaker 3: Yeah, celebrities, whether it be naturally through their stylist or 106 00:04:58,305 --> 00:05:01,425 Speaker 3: themselves or paying someone to wear it. Back to Subie, 107 00:05:01,425 --> 00:05:04,505 Speaker 3: they've paid Kendall Jennet where there's but it's about relevancy 108 00:05:04,865 --> 00:05:06,985 Speaker 3: and that was a few years ago. But in terms 109 00:05:07,025 --> 00:05:10,625 Speaker 3: of maybe smaller brands and influencers, it's like do you 110 00:05:10,625 --> 00:05:12,545 Speaker 3: want brand awareness or do you want to. 111 00:05:12,505 --> 00:05:14,905 Speaker 2: Try and be cool? Because they're very different objectives. 112 00:05:15,065 --> 00:05:17,505 Speaker 3: If you want to seed out to every influencer, you 113 00:05:17,585 --> 00:05:23,505 Speaker 3: know it dilutes that brand identity of who you are, So. 114 00:05:22,665 --> 00:05:25,225 Speaker 1: The calls doesn't always equal cash if you're a business owner. 115 00:05:25,105 --> 00:05:29,345 Speaker 3: Right, yeah, So having maybe three muses and she if 116 00:05:29,345 --> 00:05:31,625 Speaker 3: they really live and breathe the brand, or however many 117 00:05:31,665 --> 00:05:34,625 Speaker 3: you want, and just they're the ones wearing your product, yes, 118 00:05:34,625 --> 00:05:38,225 Speaker 3: and you're right cool doesn't it's not necessarily commercially. It 119 00:05:38,305 --> 00:05:40,985 Speaker 3: can be, but it just depends what your objectives are. 120 00:05:41,145 --> 00:05:44,425 Speaker 1: Agreed. That's funny that you mentioned the seeding of celebrities. 121 00:05:44,625 --> 00:05:47,225 Speaker 1: I'm ninety nine percent sure it was Aaron with Triangle, 122 00:05:47,625 --> 00:05:50,305 Speaker 1: Aaron Deering who launched Triangle back in the day social 123 00:05:50,305 --> 00:05:53,985 Speaker 1: media was kind of very new, and she very cleverly 124 00:05:54,345 --> 00:05:57,985 Speaker 1: gifted every one of Kendall Jenner's friends, but not Kendall Jenner. 125 00:05:58,265 --> 00:05:59,705 Speaker 2: Yeah, the Kendall Jenner effect. 126 00:05:59,825 --> 00:06:01,985 Speaker 1: And then so Kendall was like what and then reached 127 00:06:01,985 --> 00:06:03,545 Speaker 1: out and was like hi, or maybe she bought some. 128 00:06:03,585 --> 00:06:05,465 Speaker 1: And then when Kenda wore them because she felt she 129 00:06:05,545 --> 00:06:07,705 Speaker 1: had fomo, bam love it. 130 00:06:07,385 --> 00:06:08,625 Speaker 2: It works so well. 131 00:06:08,665 --> 00:06:10,665 Speaker 1: I don't know what happened to thought of that. Also, 132 00:06:10,705 --> 00:06:13,705 Speaker 1: I hope these celebrities just buy their own bloody coats. 133 00:06:14,185 --> 00:06:15,865 Speaker 1: How do people get their address and how do they 134 00:06:15,905 --> 00:06:16,665 Speaker 1: go through all their mail? 135 00:06:16,905 --> 00:06:19,545 Speaker 3: There's also the other switch side of that, so if 136 00:06:19,545 --> 00:06:23,225 Speaker 3: you're really trying to curate a brand. Beckham Bridge this 137 00:06:23,345 --> 00:06:26,545 Speaker 3: was always like a story circulating around fashion, but they 138 00:06:27,145 --> 00:06:29,905 Speaker 3: saw when can you imagine a time when Kim Kardashian 139 00:06:30,025 --> 00:06:31,905 Speaker 3: wasn't cool and you wouldn't want her wearing your stuff? 140 00:06:31,945 --> 00:06:34,065 Speaker 3: So this would have maybe in two thousand and six, 141 00:06:34,225 --> 00:06:36,345 Speaker 3: Ish was wearing a Beckett and Bridge dress and they 142 00:06:36,385 --> 00:06:38,705 Speaker 3: contacted the stylist to say, can we not do that? 143 00:06:38,825 --> 00:06:42,345 Speaker 2: Because by brand so it can work both ways. You 144 00:06:42,625 --> 00:06:44,265 Speaker 2: want to be curating who's wearing your stuff? 145 00:06:44,305 --> 00:06:45,905 Speaker 1: Yeah, but you know what, if someone buys it wants 146 00:06:45,905 --> 00:06:47,385 Speaker 1: to wear it, you can't stop them. And good on that. 147 00:06:59,225 --> 00:07:05,385 Speaker 1: It's very expensive. How wondre the percent? Okay, so bougie 148 00:07:05,385 --> 00:07:07,625 Speaker 1: and budget. This is a really hard one to bring. 149 00:07:07,665 --> 00:07:09,345 Speaker 1: But we're going to bring brands that we think are 150 00:07:09,385 --> 00:07:12,625 Speaker 1: call mm hmm. Call is different to everyone. I mean, 151 00:07:12,705 --> 00:07:16,185 Speaker 1: my mum is almost eighty and we go shopping and 152 00:07:16,225 --> 00:07:18,465 Speaker 1: she goes, oh, I'm not going to that old lady's store. 153 00:07:18,785 --> 00:07:22,265 Speaker 1: She just loves seed and country road and jag and 154 00:07:22,305 --> 00:07:24,425 Speaker 1: to me on a nearly eighty year old. That's cool. 155 00:07:24,545 --> 00:07:27,625 Speaker 1: So Call is different to everyone, so true. Let's recommend 156 00:07:27,625 --> 00:07:29,625 Speaker 1: some brands that we think are call. Do you want 157 00:07:29,625 --> 00:07:32,225 Speaker 1: to start with something fancy or not so fancy? 158 00:07:32,385 --> 00:07:33,665 Speaker 2: I'll do fancy. 159 00:07:33,745 --> 00:07:37,105 Speaker 1: Yeah, let's go bougie too, Yeah, yeah too, give me more, 160 00:07:37,185 --> 00:07:37,745 Speaker 1: give me more. 161 00:07:38,145 --> 00:07:39,665 Speaker 2: The one I mentioned the Whales Bonner. 162 00:07:39,785 --> 00:07:42,665 Speaker 3: I think that's just a new if you're wearing it, 163 00:07:42,905 --> 00:07:45,265 Speaker 3: even in Australia, I don't think she's really over here. 164 00:07:45,345 --> 00:07:46,425 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm going to go. 165 00:07:46,625 --> 00:07:49,745 Speaker 3: So she's interesting, same sort of price point. Maybe is 166 00:07:49,785 --> 00:07:50,705 Speaker 3: like an aerondearing. 167 00:07:50,945 --> 00:07:58,065 Speaker 1: Okay, that's fancy, that's fancy. But now but tailoring. Yeah, okay, 168 00:07:58,105 --> 00:07:58,665 Speaker 1: what's your other one? 169 00:07:58,665 --> 00:08:01,625 Speaker 2: My other one?

Yes, but they just reshape old 173 00:08:13,865 --> 00:08:15,745 Speaker 3: Levi's and you're playing into that legacy. 174 00:08:15,785 --> 00:08:16,905 Speaker 2: You're buying into that lead. 175 00:08:16,985 --> 00:08:19,625 Speaker 1: Yeah, like heritage brand coolness. 176 00:08:19,465 --> 00:08:22,785 Speaker 2: But reshaping them and redoing them and then they're unique. 177 00:08:22,825 --> 00:08:25,305 Speaker 2: Ye're just that cool story behind it. So that's redone 178 00:08:25,505 --> 00:08:26,865 Speaker 2: that iss whatever. 179 00:08:27,145 --> 00:08:29,545 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's another good point is that the circular economy 180 00:08:29,545 --> 00:08:33,265 Speaker 1: has never been bigger luxury resale thrifting, and that is cool, 181 00:08:33,505 --> 00:08:35,745 Speaker 1: and you can't manufacture that really except for Redone the 182 00:08:35,945 --> 00:08:37,425 Speaker 1: works that out. But you know, you go into a 183 00:08:37,465 --> 00:08:39,665 Speaker 1: lot of stores now and there's even like a department 184 00:08:39,705 --> 00:08:44,105 Speaker 1: store there's a reloved section and it's just so good 185 00:08:44,105 --> 00:08:46,225 Speaker 1: because I think that is the epitome of coolness. Because 186 00:08:46,225 --> 00:08:48,785 Speaker 1: the items are unique, you're saving them from landfill, they're 187 00:08:48,825 --> 00:08:49,905 Speaker 1: generally more affordable. 188 00:08:50,185 --> 00:08:53,185 Speaker 3: That's I think the way in terms of trend forecasting, 189 00:08:53,265 --> 00:08:56,145 Speaker 3: where brands will need to go, they'll need to have 190 00:08:56,225 --> 00:08:59,385 Speaker 3: this sort of wardrobe higher section as. 191 00:08:59,345 --> 00:09:00,385 Speaker 2: Part of what they offer. 192 00:09:00,585 --> 00:09:04,265 Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree basically what we're all doing online with 193 00:09:04,345 --> 00:09:05,305 Speaker 3: Facebook Marketplace. 194 00:09:05,425 --> 00:09:07,225 Speaker 1: Yeah, Like I'm trying my hands at deep Off at 195 00:09:07,265 --> 00:09:10,585 Speaker 1: the moment. It's a minefield, but instead of selling stuff bystop. Yeah, 196 00:09:10,905 --> 00:09:13,105 Speaker 1: it's so good, all right. My Bougie is a brand 197 00:09:13,145 --> 00:09:15,745 Speaker 1: that I don't know how to pronounce. I should jwp 198 00:09:16,305 --> 00:09:20,625 Speaker 1: pie Pei. It is a brand out of LA twenty 199 00:09:20,785 --> 00:09:23,105 Speaker 1: eighteen I dis covered a few years ago. I was 200 00:09:23,145 --> 00:09:26,065 Speaker 1: actually overseas in a department store and because it was 201 00:09:26,105 --> 00:09:27,905 Speaker 1: the department store, I thought it was really expensive for 202 00:09:27,985 --> 00:09:31,265 Speaker 1: fancy handbags. And then again I went overseas last year 203 00:09:31,265 --> 00:09:32,945 Speaker 1: and I finally looked and I was like, these are 204 00:09:32,985 --> 00:09:35,785 Speaker 1: not as expensive as I thought. Now they're on the iconic, 205 00:09:36,025 --> 00:09:40,305 Speaker 1: so it's still expensive. Like I bought a beautiful fake suede, 206 00:09:40,345 --> 00:09:43,825 Speaker 1: but like big Olive Green beautiful bag, it came yesterday, 207 00:09:43,905 --> 00:09:46,185 Speaker 1: so there were around the sort of smaller bags are 208 00:09:46,225 --> 00:09:49,265 Speaker 1: like one seventy. Bigger bags are like two two fifty. 209 00:09:49,505 --> 00:09:51,225 Speaker 1: You look at their branding and it looks I mean, 210 00:09:51,225 --> 00:09:53,065 Speaker 1: they've got one point five million followers, so they're definitely 211 00:09:53,105 --> 00:09:58,345 Speaker 1: not underground. But it's just really cool architectural shapes, amazing branding. Also, 212 00:09:58,425 --> 00:10:01,225 Speaker 1: what's cool at the moment is not going and getting 213 00:10:01,225 --> 00:10:03,985 Speaker 1: your big logo or six thousand dollar bags. 214 00:10:04,065 --> 00:10:05,745 Speaker 2: I've seen that, aren't we Yeah. 215 00:10:05,545 --> 00:10:08,705 Speaker 1: It's almost the quiet luxury in that it's just a beautiful, 216 00:10:08,985 --> 00:10:11,905 Speaker 1: well made bag that might be one hundred dollars up 217 00:10:11,905 --> 00:10:13,865 Speaker 1: to you know, six hundred and seven hundred dollars. But 218 00:10:13,905 --> 00:10:16,025 Speaker 1: I feel like a lot less people are going for 219 00:10:16,105 --> 00:10:28,905 Speaker 1: that designer bag statement because it's not quote unquote cool budgets. 220 00:10:28,985 --> 00:10:33,305 Speaker 1: So what's cool for you in the lower end. This 221 00:10:33,425 --> 00:10:34,105 Speaker 1: is even harder. 222 00:10:34,145 --> 00:10:36,225 Speaker 3: I think I was gonna say, I was actually gonna 223 00:10:36,225 --> 00:10:39,225 Speaker 3: recommend someone I follow on deep hop. 224 00:10:39,425 --> 00:10:41,345 Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, great, Yeah, I'm gonna follow. 225 00:10:41,225 --> 00:10:43,065 Speaker 2: The way back where. 226 00:10:43,545 --> 00:10:45,905 Speaker 3: And I actually think this has become her full time job, 227 00:10:46,185 --> 00:10:47,505 Speaker 3: like just deep. 228 00:10:47,865 --> 00:10:50,305 Speaker 2: I've bought some really cool R. M. 229 00:10:50,385 --> 00:10:55,865 Speaker 3: Williams sort of shorts, like she's cut into bidmudle length shorts. Cool, 230 00:10:56,385 --> 00:10:57,945 Speaker 3: and I've bought a couple of other like I got 231 00:10:57,985 --> 00:11:00,385 Speaker 3: this raffler and playing into that whole country club vibe. 232 00:11:00,465 --> 00:11:02,745 Speaker 3: But it's not all preppy. She has some like nice 233 00:11:02,825 --> 00:11:05,785 Speaker 3: vintage things, and she's and she's Australian and yeah that. 234 00:11:05,825 --> 00:11:09,425 Speaker 1: Circular economy an Australian business. Really she actually travels the 235 00:11:09,465 --> 00:11:10,665 Speaker 1: world looking for things. 236 00:11:10,745 --> 00:11:14,265 Speaker 3: And she had this really cool denim jacket that had 237 00:11:14,265 --> 00:11:16,025 Speaker 3: an old ski pass in it. 238 00:11:15,905 --> 00:11:19,625 Speaker 2: From like the eighties. So there's some nice story and 239 00:11:19,785 --> 00:11:22,345 Speaker 2: isn't that a cool story? That's a story you want 240 00:11:22,345 --> 00:11:23,065 Speaker 2: to tell about. 241 00:11:22,825 --> 00:11:24,945 Speaker 1: It totally, And you know that's a brand of itself. 242 00:11:24,985 --> 00:11:27,425 Speaker 1: It's fashion. She's not making it, but it's still a 243 00:11:27,465 --> 00:11:28,585 Speaker 1: fashion brand and that's what. 244 00:11:28,545 --> 00:11:30,745 Speaker 2: She does with.
