Blamo!

A while back, we started working on Jon Moy's podcast. The premise was simple...Just go off, King. I have learned so much from Moy over the years, from his reading lists, unintentional history lessons, and thought-provoking perspective on life. Consider me the president of the Moy fan club. We're still working on Moy's show but wanted to share with you some of the mad rants that are happening behind the walls. Follow Jon Moy on Instagram**Listen to the entire episode on Blamo!

I've known Jake Grantham for nearly ten years, and it has been incredible to watch his rise.Originally from London, Jake moved to HK to join the first team at The Armoury. He met Alex Pirounis there, and they both eventually left to start their shop in London called Anglo Italian. If you want to hear more about that, I def encourage you to listen to Jake's first pod we did together.Since then, it's been an upward rise in this little world of menswear. From Anglo Italian's jeans to knits. They've nailed this classic/casual/chic aesthetic.Jake's a bit of an old soul, and while he has a keen eye for detail and aesthetics, he's done a fantastic job with retail and e-commerce. SO much that when lockdown hit, they were able to pivot quite well to online only.I reached out to Jake to check in and hear how quarantine has had him do some deep thinking. Jake and I discussed how their business evolved in quarantine, why he's anxious to visit the National Gallery, and what Anglo Italian is working for this fall.It's Blamo! Extra and Jake Grantham is back.**Listen to the entire episode on Blamo! Extra Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Coronavirus has upended every aspect of the fashion industry––especially runway shows. We got zoom shows, socially distanced masked models, its wild to see some of my favorite brands think fast and keep going. I’m hopeful, but not everyone is. Many critics are lamenting the in person show, but all these new formats have provided an opportunity for brands to distinguish themselves furtherJoining me to chat is Jacob Gallagher, Men's Fashion Editor of Off Duty in The Wall Street Journal.Jacob and I discuss fashion’s pivot to online only shows and how the new format is not as new as we all think.We also discuss how this scale back and lack of shows has helped democratize the medium for newer designers, and the designer he will drive across Paris for… **Listen to the entire episode on Blamo!
