episode 17: Sensationalisation - with Special Guest Laura Martin
Sensationalisation! - with Special Guest Laura Martin
This week, Laura and Sophie discuss Amazon’s Try Before You Buy fashion line and whether it will help or hurt with debt, and which shops are the quickest at getting your refund money back to you. They also discuss Google launching a research tool to help brands understand their environmental impact, Eleanor Antoniou going a year without fast fashion, and Tesco’s covid themed christmas advert.
They’re joined by fashion editor-writer-stylist-consultant, all around multi-hyphenate, Laura Martin! They discuss whether magazines will make a comeback, their Instagram aesthetics, and Kate Moss. They recap Laura’s rise from fashion product development, to magazines like Elle, to working on the radio, and they also discuss Laura’s breast cancer - working through it, whether it changed her style, keeping her hair, and the power of positivity!
The girls use this week’s Like To Know to tell their families what they want for Christmas. They discuss sticking to Christmas lists, the best presents they’ve received, practical gifts, and the incredible longevity of GHD hair straighteners! They also debate whether the best gift you can give this Christmas is buying homeless people lunch in New Street station through the charity Midland Langar Seva, or rating the Fashademix five stars on iTunes and leaving a lovely message!
