Aspirational Mid (w/ Eva and Elena Sullivan)
Episode description
During Art Basel Miami Beach 2022, Hadrian Belove asked Adam to meet up with him at Soho House, where he was with two young ladies Eva and Elena Sullivan. When Adam arrived, he was immediately taken with the gals' intelligence and savvy. Turns out, Eva and Elena are fashion designers behind the new brand Sullivan, which creates beautiful and elegant clothing for women at a price point that is much less depressing than something like, say, The Row.
Given that we seldom discuss fashion around here despite an interest in the industry, who better to come on than Eva and Elena. The girls discuss the absence of creative vision in the algorithmically driven modern fashion industry, and explain what they're doing to combat the trend towards "aspirational mid" that plagues modern beauty standards.
