Episode 46 of The Manic Metallic Podcast was a marathon fashion conversation with journalist, radio host, and accessory designer Kim Kleczka.

Kim and I discuss, among many other topics, the following:

  • Fashion’s power to change society - and how being a more collaborative and open industry will further fashion's ability to affect overall global change
  • The mission of IMTAC, a young women’s magazine that she co-founded, and why it is important given our current culture
  • How the psychology of fashion varies across different cultures - and why practicing cultural sensitivity with respect to those differences is important
  • The surprising similarities - and differences - in the American fashion industry vs. the British fashion industry
  • How she built cross-cultural connections while traveling the world - and how those connections have helped her journey through the fashion industry
  • The inspiration that fashion designers can take from nature when generating new ideas
  • And more!
