In this episode:

The digital age has truly revolutionized every aspect of our lives, and the fashion industry is no exception. Scott shares his experience on how the shift from print to digital media has significantly impacted fashion designers, artists, and even consumers. We navigate the challenges of this evolution, including the lowered barriers of entry and the influence of celebrity culture. We get candid about the importance of media outreach and maintaining a constant presence in the industry, and the delicate dance of managing both brand and personal social media platforms.

What you present to the public matters, and in the world of fashion, it can either make or break you. We delve into how showcasing personal life in fashion can have its pitfalls. Something as simple as a graduation photo can be perceived as unprofessional in this industry that thrives on glamour and mystique. Tune in for some invaluable insights and practical advice, whether you're an aspiring artist, an established designer, or simply intrigued by the world of fashion. Be prepared to have your perspective broadened and your curiosity satisfied.
