Let's Get Dressed

I'm back with another September AMA episode, and this one is packed. We get into how to actually land a Fashion Week invite as a creative, what to wear to your first job in corporate fashion, and at-home hand-wash strategy I've been using to avoid the dry cleaner. We also get into how to keep your clothes shed-free if you live with a dog, the best coats and jackets to buy for fall (starting with the perfect ME+EM black jacket everyone needs), the designer canvas tote that isn't Dior, and what to wear on a date night.

In this episode, we get into:
How to actually get invited to Fashion Week as a creative — the timeline, the pitch, and the exact language to use (and avoid)
What to wear to your first job in corporate fashion, from statement blazers to the one colorful cardigan I swears by
My at-home laundry strategy for avoiding the dry cleaner and how I'm learning to hand-wash cashmere
How to keep your closet shed-free if you live with a dog
The best coats and jackets to buy for fall, starting with the perfect black jacket and working up to leather, suede, and barn jackets
The designer canvas tote that isn't Dior
What I'm actually wearing on date night with my husband — and why comfort wins over "dressed up" most of the time

Linoy Friedman, AKA What People Are Wearing breaks down the trends she spotted at New York Fashion Week. We get into the pop of red moment taking over street style (and how to actually find your shade), the sweater-tied-around-the-waist trick that's secretly a styling hack and not a trend at all, the return of statement necklaces and brooches as finishing touches, and the 3D texture -- fringe, feathers, pom-poms -- showing up on everything this season. We talk about why over-logoing an outfit is the fastest way to lose it, why "wear the trend, don't let the trend wear you" is the only rule either of us follows anymore, and her theory on which trends are actually worth buying into versus styling with what's already in your closet. We also get into her favorite shows of the week, the jeans and tees she and Liv actually reach for on repeat, and what she'd wear to a 30th birthday dinner if she wanted to feel elevated without trying too hard.

Get your notes app ready, because this is going to be an episode you want to take note and shop!

In this episode, we get into:

How Linoy built What People Are Wearing into one of the most trusted street style accounts, and what she's actually looking for when she's clocking outfits in real time
The biggest trends she spotted on the ground this Fashion Week, from a full-red moment to color blocking to 3D texture (fringe, feathers, pom-poms) showing up everywhere
The sweater-around-the-waist trick that's secretly a styling hack, not a trend, and why she thinks the best trends are the ones already sitting in your closet
The vintage-earring-on-a-vest moment that went viral on her account, and why she thinks brooches and statement necklaces are having a real comeback
Her rule for wearing red without it looking try-hard, and why the right shoe is the easiest way to bring color into a wardrobe
Her take on why over-logoing an outfit "loses the story," and the one styling sin she thinks should be illegal (branded caps)
Her favorite shows of the week, including Magda Butrym's rose-covered runway and Rachel Scott's Proenza Schouler show, and why she can't stop thinking about either
The jeans, tees, and jewelry she and Liv actually rebuy on repeat, from Levi's 501s to vintage YSL to her grandmother's 14 karats
What she'd wear to a 30th birthday dinner in New York if she wanted to feel fun, elevated, and not too young

Welcome to the first episode of Undressed, a new short-form series where I’m giving you my unfiltered take on what I’m seeing, loving, thinking about, and taking away from the fashion world in real time.

For my first debrief, we’re talking New York Fashion Week — my 18th one! I’m getting into the shows I loved, the pieces already on my shopping list, why fashion feels especially exciting right now, and what this season made me realize about my own personal style. Plus, I’m sharing how I actually look at a runway show beyond the still images: the references, music, venue, show notes, and all the context that can completely change how you experience a collection.

If you've ever been told there's no clear path for the career you want, this episode is proof you can build the path yourself.

Kyle Smith joins us as the NFL's first-ever fashion editor, a role that didn't exist until he created it. We get into how a scrappy Instagram account he ran during COVID, just posting tunnel fits for fun, became his literal proof of concept and landed him back at the league in a job title no one had held before. We talk about taking Joe Burrow to Paris for his first-ever trip outside the country and putting him in a backless Peter Do suit for Vogue World, a moment that generated $22 million in paid media value, why Hermès has quietly become an unofficial partner of the NFL tunnel, and his theory on why athletes, not influencers, are becoming fashion's most trusted tastemakers. We also get into his "what rooms do you want to be in" framework for getting dressed with intention, and his advice for anyone trying to build a career in a lane that doesn't exist yet.

In this episode, we get into:

How Kyle became the NFL's first-ever fashion editor, and how a proof-of-concept Instagram account he ran during COVID turned into a job that didn't exist before he pitched for it
His path from working under celebrity stylist Karla Welch, to styling NFL Network hosts, to building the league's entire fashion strategy from the ground up
The story behind Joe Burrow's viral backless Peter Do suit at Vogue World Paris, and how the moment generated $22 million in paid media value
Why Hermès has become an unofficial partner of the NFL tunnel, from Saquon Barkley's shadow Birkin to custom Bengals-orange bags for Joe Burrow
His theory on why athletes, not influencers, are becoming fashion's most trusted tastemakers, and what that means for how brands think about visibility
The "what rooms do you want to be in" framework he uses with players (and the rest of us) to make getting dressed intentional instead of reactive
His advice for anyone trying to build a career in a space that doesn't have a clear path yet, no permission required
What to actually wear to a football game, from suite dressing to jewelry to his favorite NFL x Abercrombie merch
The NFL players he's watching this season for the best tunnel style.

This is the last episode of our August hiatus, and we wanted to close it out with one of the most inspiring conversations from the past year. Heading into a new season felt like the right time to revisit Julie Wainwright's story — about reinvention, building something from scratch, and trusting yourself when the path isn't obvious. We're back with brand new episodes next week!

From shuttering a business to billion-dollar success, Julie Wainwright is a serial entrepreneur who's seen it all. After serving as CEO of Pets.com and experiencing its collapse during the dot-com crash, Julie reinvented herself and went on to build The RealReal, the luxury resale platform that revolutionized the industry. In this episode, Julie opens up about how she turned a setback into her biggest company yet, the innovations that set The RealReal apart, and the powerful lessons she's learned as a woman navigating the business world.
