Should Designers Demand More in Exchange for the Clout they Bring?

from Ethically Questionable

This week we catch up with @DearTyler designer and Project Runway star TYLER NEASLONEY on fashion, fabrics and fascism. We chat about ethical expectations in high design, if you should work with people/systems you don't agree with, and of course the viral "Not even to dinner with the Kushners" moment which has been living rent free in my head for years. The convo left me wondering - in a world where designer collabs enhance clout and credibility to brands both personal and commercial, should these artists be demanding more from their patrons than just money? Systemic change alongside financial exchange... Shout out to @twinbrett and @theseagull for the thought provoking content mentioned in the EQ News at the Top. Hosted on Acast.

Life Was Peachy Fancy Pants Gangsters Life Was Peachy is the best podcast about the most questionable music of the mid-to-late 90’s and early 2000’s. Each episode is a deep dive into a classic nu metal album with the benefit of 20 years of hindsight to find out just what happened back then and what it amounts to in this brave nu world. Host Andrew Cahak is joined by various guests including comedians, musicians, and other people of interest. Some will have very passionate things to say, some may barely be able to stomach the stuff, and some have never heard nu metal before. Whatever the case, it will be a fun conversation with plenty of background information and just the right amount of irreverence. Explicit Wine Not Talk About It? Wine Not Talk About It?
