Recho Omondi, host and creator of the fashion podcast "The Cutting Room Floor," invites people from all facets of the fashion industry onto her show to have frank conversations about the style business. Guests range from upper-echelon brand executives to behind-the-curtain product developers, and no topics are off limits, from criticism of luxury conglomerates to fashion nepo babies. Whatever is on the agenda, Omondi unapologetically dives head-in.
Her genuine and incisive interview style gets people talking. New-gen independent designer darlings Christopher John Rogers and Peter Do opened up about the downsides of rapid growth. Mickey Drexler, CEO of Alex Mill, creator of Madewell, and former chief executive at the Gap and J.Crew, explained why profits often trump products. YouTuber Luke Meagher, a.k.a. HauteLeMode, spoke candidly about fashion criticism—and lack thereof—in the social media era.
