Welcome to another edition of the Pop Fashion podcast! This week in hot topics: American Apparel protests are heating up over how the company treats workers, Primark is coming to the U.S., and Filene's Basement is attempting a comeback. Sephora's "epic" rewards program promo made some loyal customers angry, and Lilly Pulitzer is suing Old Navy for copying its prints. Patagonia is making big changes to the way it sources wool after a PETA expose. And we talk about a Prada dress that's showing up on magazines around the world.
Our main topic for the week: tenacity. Comedian Margaret Cho commented that tenacity is key to success, and we break down what tenacity means and whether it has limits. Are you tenacious? Come hang out!

This week in hot topics - garment workers are fainting in Cambodia, interns are suing Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen’s company, H&M sister brand “& Other Stories” launched the first all-transgender campaign, and J.Crew announced their fall fashion colors.

Welcome to another edition of Pop Fashion podcast! Cosmopolitan magazine gets covered up by another store, Taylor Swift faces a deposition over her lucky number, and Delia’s is staging a comeback. In other news, Patagonia is making great strides with their eco-friendly jeans, China textile factories are moving to the American South, and YSL is returning to couture.

Our main topic is about the makeup tax! Studies show that women who wear makeup earn more and are rewarded with more prestigious jobs. But, should we have to wear makeup in order to get ahead in business? What about women who want to opt-out?

Welcome to another edition of Pop Fashion podcast! This week in hot topics - ModCloth launches its own line, Jane Birkin wants her name taken off of her namesake Hermes bag, and Converse reveals the redesign of its famous Chuck Taylor All Star shoe. In other news, Cosmopolitan magazine will be covered up by blinders at two major retailers (yup! the same things that cover pornography). And, a J.C.Penney sales associate gets sent home from work for wearing shorts she purchased in the store.
Our main topic is about the myth of perfection. We know that people reveal an edited version of their lives on social media, so why do we pressure ourselves to live up to impossible standards? Can social media skew our sense of worthiness? How do we navigate the idea of perfection on Instagram? Come hang out!
