True Classic knows their consumer
The CEO of True Classic described their model consumer: A man who wants his clothes to look good, without breaking the bank, and is a little overweight. That last bit hit me hard. It seemed a bit rough, like a rude assessment of their loyal customers. However, now I’m really hearing it. They aren’t being…

Gymshark modest collection coming soon
I would see Leana Deebs’s fitness content come across my feed every now and again when I was in my peak fitness YouTube era a couple of years ago. She was a gym influencer, following the formula, from the outfits to the “train with me” to the meal prep. Then when she came up again,…

Well, who put a Sephora ad in my MMA show?
As the coverage came to a conclusion on the Perez/Smith MMA bout, an ad started playing. “The biggest Sephora sale of the year is here!” And then it was closely followed by a Macy’s ad. Well, that’s weird. Fashion and beauty are not your typically brands seeking to reach the typical MMA content consumer. This…

You wanna smell like Jake Paul?
To say that Jake Paul made his foray into boxing would be under-descriptive. He has gone after the pursuit, wholeheartedly, if not brashly.

This blog is not really about making opinions or commentary on pop culture. (But I could change my mind about that in the future.) However, I think we can take some time to reflect what the Harrison Butker controversy can teach us. Regardless of what you think of what was said or not in that…

Who are you designing for?
I am going to admit to you something very quick, which could color your perception just as fast. I have typically been wary of demands that runway shows include more larger sized individuals. In my mind, the runway show was a moving catalogue. I saw the models as just happening to be the form that…

That one star review is more useful that I thought
I remember that moment vividly because it annoyed me. How could she penalize the brand because she was getting exactly what they said she would? But now I see it differently. That one star review was actually vital information. Let’s get these things out of the way. I don’t think they should start adding pockets…

Accessible vs inclusive: Two approaches to making money
I made a post that discussed a comment from Daniel Roseberry, who declared that he had no interest in making Schiaparelli like Zara for rich people. As the creative director for the brand, he had no interest in making a more accessible product because that wouldn’t serve his business interest. His clients don’t want that.…
