I Talk (a lot!) About Fashion

Nothing makes me happier than talking about what is happening in fashion today - and why! Whether on Live TV, podcasts, or for my favorite glossy magazines, I love taking our analysis and insights on fashion business strategy outside of the classroom and sharing these conversations with new audiences. Education is about cocreating learning together and in our hyperconnected world of today, the more the merrier!
