Spotlight on Black-Owned Fashion Brands: Designers & Trends to Know | Dinner for Shoes

Dinner for Shoes is a podcast hosted bySarah Wasilak, a fashion and food enthusiast with her mouth full. With appearances by her cats,Trish andKit, and agendas that almost always go to shit, we aim to dive into a discussion about fashion and style and break some bread in each episode. In episode 19, Black Owned Businesses + Fashion Brands, Sarah spotlights Black designers, CEOs, and founders making waves in the industry. Dressed in two separate outfits (one to interview and one to play host), Sarah shares her favorite features of each look from head to toe. With special appearances from the faces behind clothing companies, jewelry brands, shoe collections, and more, Sarah leads conversations that shed light on what makes these brands unique. Later, she enjoys West Indian cuisine fromFreetown Road Project, a Caribbean eatery located in Jersey City started by “Chopped” champion Claude Lewis. Dinner for Shoes podcast episodes are released weekly on YouTube, Spotify, and Apple.
