EP223: Taking Time Out & Refocusing on Menswear

After taking a much needed break to refocus and recharge, I’m back and in this episode, I’m sharing why stepping away was exactly what I needed. We’ll talk about the pressure of constant creation, the importance of listening to your mind, and how reconnecting with what truly inspires you can reignite your passion. I’ll take you through my week exploring some incredible experiences in London from discovering the soulful storytelling of Rahasya Fragrances to being blown away by the craftsmanship at the Beams Expedition Club exhibition. Each moment reminded me of why menswear means so much more than clothes it’s about history, culture, and emotion stitched into every garment. And we’ll also dive into a major moment for the industry: Grace Wales Bonner’s groundbreaking appointment as the first Black woman to become creative director at Hermès a move that marks a powerful shift in how we see creativity and representation in menswear. This episode is about slowing down, finding purpose, and celebrating the artistry that keeps us inspired.
