A new year brings a new direction. In this episode, I reset Raw Fashion and share why this year’s conversations will go deeper than before. We move beyond trends to explore fashion as identity, culture, money, and the future — with more honesty, reflection, and real stories. This episode sets the tone for what Raw Fashion stands for now and what listeners can expect in the year ahead.

This episode marks the final chapter of Raw Fashion for the year. We look back at the conversations that shaped the podcast — from personal style, African fashion, streetwear, sustainability, fashion business, technology, and creativity. More than trends, this episode reflects on growth, lessons learned, and the future of fashion as culture, identity, and expression. As the year ends, Raw Fashion closes with clarity, gratitude, and vision for what’s next.

In this episode, I unpack the messy, chaotic, and surprisingly powerful connection between Black Friday and the fashion industry. From clearance sales that secretly reset the trend cycle to the way brands push impulse buying with flashy discounts, this episode looks at how one shopping day influences what we wear, how we shop, and why fashion businesses depend on it. I also break down how Black Friday affects local fashion brands, thrift sellers, and designers here in Kenya.

In today’s episode, we dive deep into the powerful idea that fashion is a language. Every outfit tells a story — about identity, culture, mood, confidence, rebellion, and even our personal struggles. From Maasai shukas to Nairobi streetwear, from designer collections to everyday thrifted fits, clothes become chapters of who we are and what we believe.

We explore how fashion:

Expresses emotions without speaking

Connects to culture, heritage, and history

Becomes a form of protest and self-identity

Tells personal stories through color, style, and creative choices

Shapes narratives in music, street culture, and digital spaces
