64. How To Care About Fashion (Fashion Month Schedule, Met Gala, Celebrity Style & Trend Cycles)
So to explain this episode about fashion let me start off by saying that it’s the start of the football season and last year around this time I made an episode called How To Care About Sports because I always feel like I’m missing out on the conversation this season of the year and even though I don’t naturally care about sports I realized there’s a part of me that kind of wants to because you know, if you can’t beat em, join em.
So my friend who is an editor at FOX Sports came on and joined me to give her perspective on why sports are interesting to watch and kind of gave me the 411 on how to find interesting relationships among the players and character stories to care about so that it’s a little bit more like reality tv for me haha. And I admittedly have enjoyed it more since then and have followed some players or players’ wives on instagram and I might even try to watch some games this year on my own to see if I can become genuinely interested by the time of the SuperBowl.
So, all that to say, it is ALSO the biggest fashion season of the year right now, so I think all the sports fans out there deserve an episode about how to care about fashion and fashion month. I’m sure there is some cross over of people who care about both already, and if you follow my content I probably don’t have to convince you to care about fashion haha, but I actually thought it could be a fun chat even if you do like fashion already to share some of the ways I like to make it even more interesting to follow fashion month besides just “oo pretty dresses.”
So whether you love fashion already or are just waiting to send this episode to the sports lover in your life and say “hey I listened to your episode now you listen to mine,” I hope this episode leaves you inspired to find extra entertainment and enjoyment in the fashion world!
I would personally think of three subtopics of fashion that I find interesting: high end fashion events, influencers and celebrity style, and trend cycles. I think the easiest place to start is with those high end events, so let’s go through the fashion schedule which is the order and location of fashion shows and fashion month that is usually about the same year after year, and then we can talk about celebrity style and then trend cycles.
