Getting dressed isn’t just about clothes, it’s emotional, it’s personal, and it’s one of the most powerful tools we have to step into who we want to be. So how do we actually use it? I’m joined by Erin Walsh, the stylist behind some of the most iconic women in Hollywood, Anne Hathaway, Selena Gomez, Mindy Kaling, and the mind behind Anne’s unforgettable Devil Wears Prada 2 press tour. Fresh off last night’s New York premiere, Erin walks us through what it actually takes to build a press tour of this scale, the Easter eggs, the Valentino Rockstud comeback, the meta moments, and why every look comes back to one question: how do you want to feel? We also get into Erin’s CREATE method from her upcoming book The Art of Intention, and how the same tools she uses on red carpets can transform how any of us get dressed every single day. In this episode, we get into: What “intentional dressing” really means and how to actually do itThe 3-word rule Erin uses with every clientHow to find your style “superpower” and lean into itWhy clothes are emotional, and what to do when your closet feels like a strangerHow to get out of a style rutInside the Devil Wears Prada 2 press tour: the references, the collaborations, the chaosThe Valentino Rockstud comeback and why it actually worksHow Erin handles real-time criticism on the biggest carpets in the worldWhy fashion is moving back toward joy, from Matthieu at Chanel to Selena at the Golden GlobesThe “supernova” mindset Michael Kors gave her 20 years agoWhat’s actually in a stylist’s toolkit and the brands she swears byHer go-to jeans, white tee, and blazer, and where to shop each oneThe fastest way to elevate any outfit instantly Pre Order The Art of Intentional Dressing: https://a.co/d/00MdJuwS Timestamps: 00:00 Intro, intentional dressing and why clothes are emotional 02:00 Three words: the rule Erin uses with every client 04:00 The “good bag” moment and dressing from feeling 06:00 Why aesthetic quizzes fall short without emotional connection 08:30 Finding your style superpower 10:30 Owning femininity as a power move 12:00 Getting out of a style rut 13:30 What to do when you hate your outfit halfway through the day 15:00 Color analysis, trends, and what’s actually worth your attention 16:30 Inside a first fitting with Erin Walsh 18:00 Dressing through body changes with compassion 20:00 “Breaking the shell”: vulnerability and style 22:00 The CREATE method (Clarity, Ritual, Editing, Alignment, Truth, Expansion) 25:00 Handling real-time criticism on the red carpet 27:00 Why joy is the future of fashion (Matthieu at Chanel, Selena at the Globes) 29:00 The “supernova” mindset from Michael Kors 29:30 Inside the Devil Wears Prada 2 press tour 31:30 Planning a global press tour at this scale 33:30 The Easter eggs: the runway office, the blue Chanel sweater, the bangs 35:00 Valentino in Japan, Balenciaga in Korea, Susan Fang in China 37:00 The Valentino Rockstud comeback 38:30 Toe cleavage, heels, and why flats don’t work for her 40:00 Final stops: New York and London 40:30 The stylist’s toolkit: what Erin travels with 41:30 Her go-to jeans, tee, and blazer brands 42:30 The fastest way to elevate an outfit 43:00 Outro Let’s Get Dressed YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@livvperez Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/letsgetdressedpod/ Newsletter: https://substack.com/@livvperez Liv Perez  Instagram: www.instagram.com/livvperez TikTok: www.tiktok.com/livv.perez ShopMy: https://shopmy.us/livvperez Hosted on Acast.

Zac Posen has always understood that fashion is about more than just clothes—it’s about creating moments. This week on Let’s Get Dressed, I sit down with Zac to talk about what it means to reinvent American fashion today. Now as Creative Director of Gap Inc., overseeing Gap, Old Navy, Banana Republic, and Athleta, Zac shares how he’s bringing his signature sense of “fashiontainment” to a global scale. From viral cultural moments to designer collaborations like Old Navy x Christopher John Rogers, we discuss how fashion is shifting—from exclusivity to accessibility—and what it takes to build a brand that resonates in today’s world. Plus, Zac shares his go-to styling tips, from the one piece that instantly elevates your jeans to why every woman needs her own version of the perfect little black dress. We also get into the future of fashion, the role of AI, and why instinct and taste still matter more than ever. In this episode, we get into: What reinvention actually looks like in fashion (personally and professionally)The shift from couture to designing at scale—and what changes creativelyWhy fashion is moving into entertainment and pop cultureHow collaborations (like Old Navy x Anna Sui + CJR) actually come togetherThe “cultural receiver” mindset and how to spot what’s nextWhy some fashion moments go viral—and others don’tWhat it takes to execute big ideas inside a corporate structureThe role of failure, resilience, and timing in building a careerHow AI is already shaping fashion—and where it still falls shortWhy direct-to-consumer and social media changed everythingThe difference between product that looks good vs. product that actually sellsZac’s philosophy on creativity, risk-taking, and staying relevantEasy styling advice: how to elevate jeans, wardrobe staples, and everyday dressing The Old Navy x Christopher John Rogers collection is live now: https://oldnavy.gap.com/ Timestamps:  00:00  Intro, Zac Posen in LA and setting up fashion as storytelling 01:08  First Oscar weekend and Hollywood influence 02:00  Disney, imagination, and fashion as magic 04:00  Fashion as entertainment and cultural relevance 05:00  Reinvention, joining Gap, and creative evolution 08:40  Gap Inc. as a “country” and leading at scale 10:45  Old Navy, first impressions, and bringing in designers 13:00  Process over persona, being hands-on creatively 15:00  Executing ideas step-by-step and creative instinct 16:20  Collaborations and creating cultural moments 18:40  Failure, risk, and resilience in career growth 19:00  Do fashion brands need to entertain today? 22:00  Fashion vs entertainment and the shift in culture 23:20  The viral dress moment and why product wins 25:00  Gap Studio and building cultural fashion moments 27:00  Anna Sui collaboration and AI in fashion 30:45  Christopher John Rogers x Old Navy exclusive 35:00  The state of American fashion today 37:00  Design evolution: construction over trend 39:00  What success looks like now (seeing it on the street) 41:00  Creativity as a daily practice 42:00  Styling tip: how to elevate jeans 43:00  Closet staple: the little black dress 43:50  Menswear tip: just wear a button-down 44:20  Outro Let’s Get Dressed YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@livvperez Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/letsgetdressedpod/ Newsletter: https://substack.com/@livvperez Liv Perez  Instagram: www.instagram.com/livvperez TikTok: www.tiktok.com/livv.perez ShopMy: https://shopmy.us/livvperez Hosted on Acast.

We’re in an era of endless options, constant drops, and algorithm-driven trends…but what are people actually buying? I sit down with retail expert and Puck writer Sarah Shapiro to do a real-time “channel check” on the fashion industry. From what’s selling in stores right now to the pieces quietly dominating across data, and the brands actually getting it right, we break down what’s working, what’s not, how to actually make sense of it all, and where you should be shopping.

Spring is officially here, which means it’s time for a wardrobe reset. I’m breaking down the 10 pieces you actually need for spring whether you’re shopping your closet or investing in a few key pieces. I’ve always found spring to be the hardest season to get dressed for. It’s that in-between moment where your winter pieces feel too heavy, but it’s not quite summer either, so figuring out what actually works can be hard. From the perfect work pant to the return of the barn jacket, pencil skirts, and cropped denim, these are the staples, trends, and styling shifts that will make getting dressed this season so much easier. We’re also talking about how to transition your wardrobe from winter to spring, why fabric matters more than you think, and how to bring more personality into your everyday outfits. This episode is your guide to refreshing your closet without overconsuming, focusing on pieces you’ll actually wear and style on repeat. Shop all items mentioned in the episode: https://shopmy.us/shop/collections/4234938 In this conversation, we get into: The 10 spring wardrobe essentials you actually needHow to transition your wardrobe from winter to springWhy switching fabrics is the key to seasonal dressingThe best “work pant” styles for spring (and why they’re so versatile)The return of the barn jacket and how to style itWhy pencil skirts are trending again and how to wear themThe layered tee trend and easy ways to elevate basicsHow to incorporate texture (fringe, feathers, movement) into your wardrobeWhy baby blue is the standout color for springHow to use accessories like belts and shoes to elevate any outfitThe return of lace and how to style it beyond “going out”Why cropped jeans are back and how they change your proportionsThe shift toward sleek, minimal shoes (and the best loafers for spring)How to refresh your closet without buying everything new Timestamps: 02:00  Life update + getting back into routine after being sick 05:00  Why spring is the perfect time for a wardrobe reset 07:00  The importance of fabric when transitioning seasons 09:00  The perfect work pant: what to look for + best styles 12:00  The barn jacket: why it’s a spring staple 15:00  Pencil skirts are back: how to style them for real life 18:00  The layered tee trend and elevated basics 20:00  Texture in fashion: fringe, feathers, and movement 23:00  How to wear statement pieces in an everyday way 25:00  The color of the season: why baby blue works as a neutral 27:00  Bright accessories and the power of a statement belt 29:00  Lace for spring: how to style it beyond the obvious 31:00  Cropped jeans and why showing your shoes matters 34:00  Affordable vs. investment denim options 36:00  The return of the sleek loafer (and why chunky is out) 38:00  How to shop your closet and avoid overconsumption 40:00  Final thoughts: building a wardrobe you actually wear Let’s Get Dressed YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@livvperez Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/letsgetdressedpod/ Newsletter: https://substack.com/@livvperez Liv Perez  Instagram: www.instagram.com/livvperez TikTok: www.tiktok.com/livv.perez ShopMy: https://shopmy.us/livvperez Hosted on Acast.

Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy is everywhere again but the conversation around her style often misses what actually made it so compelling in the first place. I sit down with writer and repeat guest Larissa Mills to talk about the frenzy surrounding CBK right now, from the new Love Story series on FX and Hulu to the endless stream of content promising you can dress like her if you just buy the right boots, coat, or sunglasses. Together, we unpack what people are getting wrong about Carolyn’s style, and why it was never really just about the clothes. In this conversation, we get into: The Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy style revival happening right nowWhat people are getting wrong when they try to copy CBK’s lookWhat it was actually like to live in New York during the Carolyn eraWhether Carolyn was seen as a style icon in real time — or became one laterWhy her style felt powerful because of her aura, confidence, and restraintHow social media and overconsumption have changed the way we approach personal styleThe difference between being inspired by someone’s wardrobe and replicating itWhy repetition, discernment, and editing are the real keys to great personal styleHow to take inspiration from Carolyn’s wardrobe without losing your own point of viewThe brands, silhouettes, and styling tools we’d use to channel the spirit of CBK in a more personal way Timestamps  05:00  CBK resurgence, Love Story and the social media frenzy 07:00  Why “dressing like Carolyn” misses the point of her style 09:00  Larissa Mills on personal style and impenetrable taste 10:00  What women were actually wearing in NYC during the CBK era 12:00  90s minimalism, Calvin Klein, and the “uniform” of the time 14:00  Was Carolyn a style icon in real time—or did that come later? 17:00  The role of aura, presence, and her relationship with JFK Jr. 20:00  Why CBK’s style felt powerful beyond just the clothes 23:00  The difference between copying vs. embodying personal style 26:00  Overconsumption, the internet, and losing individuality in fashion 29:00  How to build personal style through repetition and restraint 32:00  Tailoring, fit, and the reality of making clothes work for you 34:00  Heels vs. flats and the practicality of everyday dressing 36:00  Breaking fashion “rules” and wearing what you actually love 38:00  Editing your wardrobe and developing discernment 40:00  Signature pieces, silhouettes, and building a personal uniform 42:00  Why you’ll never be CBK and why that’s the point 43:00  Introducing “Let’s Get You Dressed” (listener styling segment) Follow Larissa on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/larissamills/ Let’s Get Dressed YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@livvperez Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/letsgetdressedpod/ Newsletter: https://substack.com/@livvperez Liv Perez  Instagram: www.instagram.com/livvperez TikTok: www.tiktok.com/livv.perez ShopMy: https://shopmy.us/livvperez Hosted on Acast.

Before she was even 30 years old, Willa Bennett took over not one, but two of the most iconic magazines in media: Cosmopolitan and Seventeen. In this episode, I sit down with Willa to talk about what it actually takes to run a legacy magazine in 2026 — in a culture driven by viral discourse, instant backlash, and internet-speed opinions. In this conversation, we get into: What it felt like to take over Cosmopolitan at 29What an Editor-in-Chief actually does day-to-dayHow she decides who and what gets visibilityWhy story matters more than star powerThe Sydney Sweeney cover and how she thinks about controversyWhether editorial “rage bait” is realHow viral culture and engagement metrics shape modern mediaWhat Gen Z readers are actually curious aboutAnd why “taste” might be the most important skill in journalism right now Timestamps 01:30 Growing up with magazines & coming full circle 04:30 Getting the Cosmopolitan job — the emotional moment 07:30 Running a legacy brand in a digital-first industry 10:30 What an Editor-in-Chief actually does in 2026 15:30 Instinct vs analytics — how editorial decisions are made 20:00 AI, dating culture & what young readers want 23:30 Story over star power & viral visibility 27:30 The Sydney Sweeney cover & navigating backlash 32:00 Is editorial rage bait real? 35:00 Celebrity culture, controversy & documenting the moment 37:30 Are we still in the Gen Z era? 40:00 The future of media & why taste matters Follow Willa on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/willahbennett/?hl=en Thanks to Banana Republic for my favorite pieces from the spring collection.

At 22-years-old, Madison Dowd bought Ludivine, a long-standing Upper East Side boutique, through BizBuySell.com. Instead of starting a brand from scratch, she stepped into an existing business with loyal customers, real inventory, a balance sheet, and an unwavering belief in the future of retail. This conversation gets into what it actually looks like to run a multi-brand fashion boutique today — from buying decisions and trade shows to navigating instinct versus data. We also talk about learning a customer and buying patterns, what makes the Upper East Side the most valuable retail landscape, and the brands flying off her shelves.  Timestamps: 01:30 — Buying Ludivine at 22: Why she chose to purchase instead of start from scratch 05:45 — Finding the business on BizBuySell and stepping into an existing P&L 10:00 — Learning before changing: understanding a legacy customer base 14:40 — The Upper East Side shopper: loyalty, psychology, and neighborhood dynamics 19:15 — Buying strategy: trade shows, inventory bets, and seasonal planning 23:50 — Instinct vs. data: when to trust your gut  28:00 — Social media’s role in a brick-and-mortar business 30:45 — What actually makes a multi-brand boutique sustainable today Shop Ludivine https://boutiqueludivine.com/ Follow Madison on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/madisondowd/ Follow Madison on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@shopgirlmadison Let’s Get Dressed YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@livvperez Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/letsgetdressedpod/ Newsletter: https://substack.com/@livvperez Liv Perez  Instagram: www.instagram.com/livvperez TikTok: www.tiktok.com/livv.perez ShopMy: https://shopmy.us/livvperez Hosted on Acast.

This week on Let’s Get Dressed, I’m sitting down with Joseph Altuzarra just days after his latest New York Fashion Week show. We talk about what 20 years in fashion really looks like when you’re running an independent brand, why people keep saying “NYFW is dead,” and what it actually costs to put on a show today. Joseph shares how he thinks about staying relevant without chasing hype, the reality of pay-to-play celebrity culture, and why he’s calling this his “year of yes.” We also get personal — from fame and comparison to what it feels like to be 42 and still building. Plus: Heated Rivalry, Wuthering Heights, whether fashion is psychic, and his best advice for anyone who wants to work in the industry.

Hi from NYC! This week, we’re debriefing NYFW — everything that happened on and off the runways that stopped us in our tracks. From Ralph Lauren’s romantic revival to the iconic wardrobe on the Wuthering Heights press tour, we unpack why fashion feels like it’s entering a new era of dressing for joy. We also dive into the power shift at Vogue, British Vogue's moving March cover, and what it signals about the future of media. Joining me is my friend Lydia Berry, co-founder of the social media agency Darlington, and our resident Gen Z eyes and ears on what’s actually driving conversation online right now.

If there’s any sports bet we’re taking right now, it’s that the football field is becoming fashion’s favorite runway. On this episode of Let’s Get Dressed, I’m joined by Daniel-Yaw Miller, sports and fashion journalist, and author of the SportsVerse Substack, for a post-Super Bowl debrief on how fashion showed up all weekend long. From Bad Bunny’s halftime performance in custom Zara and Adidas, to designer activations, athlete styling, and brands finding ways in without buying a single commercial, we talk through why sports have suddenly become such a valuable cultural space for fashion. We also get into why sports feel like a kind of reset for brands — a place to reach massive audiences, soften narratives, and feel culturally relevant without over-explaining themselves. What worked, what didn’t, and why so many fashion brands seem more interested in game day than runway season.    Follow Daniel-Yaw on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/danielyaw_/ Subscribe to SportsVerse https://sportsverse.substack.com Let’s Get Dressed YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@livvperez Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/letsgetdressedpod/ Newsletter: https://substack.com/@livvperez Liv Perez  Instagram: www.instagram.com/livvperez TikTok: www.tiktok.com/livv.perez ShopMy: https://shopmy.us/livvperez Hosted on Acast.

Ever wonder how celebrities are always wearing the newest, coolest brands — sometimes before you’ve even heard of them? In this episode of Let’s Get Dressed, I sit down with fashion PR and showroom powerhouse Shayna Honeyman, the founder of The Honeyman Agency, whose work has helped place brands on everyone from Hailey Bieber to Taylor Swift and Jane Fonda. Shayna represents some of the buzziest names in fashion right now — including Nour Hammour, Toteme, JUDE, Magda Butrym, Christopher Esber, and more — and has been at the center of how fashion visibility actually works today. We chat about how fashion’s gatekeepers have changed, why traditional institutions like Barneys and Fred Segal faded, and how modern showrooms became the new filters of taste, access, and celebrity placement. She also shares the brand she has her eyes on, why she says no to some brands, and why authenticity always wins.  Get 20% an annual membership of our newsletter, Let's Get Dressed, here https://letsgetdressed.substack.com/lgd Love the show?
