On this episode, I had an absolute blast chatting with Cookie, a true Taylor Swift aficionado and the creative mind behind the Instagram account YouBelongInThis. Together, we dove headfirst into Taylor’s world—unpacking her iconic fashion choices, the clever Easter eggs hidden in her outfits, and her undeniable influence on trends. Cookie even shared the story of her unforgettable encounter with Taylor, giving us a firsthand look at the magic of being a fan.

We also got personal, swapping fashion aspirations and imagining how we’d style Taylor for her next era. Cookie brought such fresh insights on sustainability in fashion and the evolving role of stylists. We didn’t shy away from the challenges of public perception in the industry either—a topic we both feel passionate about.

Of course, it wouldn’t be a proper Swiftie conversation without discussing the Eras Tour! We shared our favorite moments, songs, and the pure artistry of Taylor’s evolution. Plus, Cookie opened up about navigating New York nightlife as we both inch closer to our 30s—a mix of nostalgia and forward-thinking vibes.

In this episode, I reconnect with designer Brian De Carvalho after a year, diving into his incredible journey from studying fine art to becoming a self-taught fashion designer during the pandemic. Brian shares how creating clothes for himself led to opportunities to dress drag queens and celebrities, all while establishing his unique voice in the fashion industry.

We discuss the challenges young designers face, the artistry of corsetry, and the struggle to balance family expectations with creative freedom. Brian also reflects on the transformative moment he received John Galliano’s blessing, how it inspired him to take his work seriously, and the lessons he’s learned while building his own brand. This is an inspiring and candid conversation that’s a must-listen for aspiring creatives and fashion lovers alike
