Join our host, senior style icon and former mental health professional
Theodora Krochman, and entrepreneur and documentarian Melissa Pierce as
they interview the best and brightest to ask hard-hitting questions
about fashion and culture.
In Episode 2 of our second season, Teddi and Melissa welcome the
legendary Diane Gilman, known globally as the "Queen of Jeans" and a
revolutionary force in fashion for women over 50. From her early days
crafting embellished denim for rock icons like Janis Joplin and Jim
Morrison to becoming a billion-dollar force in tele-retail, Diane shares
her remarkable journey of breaking fashion rules and creating space for
mature women in an industry that often overlooks them.
The discussion deepens as they explore why the fashion industry
continues to ignore women over 50 despite their significant purchasing
power and how her DG2 line, launched at age 59, became a global
phenomenon by addressing this overlooked demographic.
Through their exploration of fashion, sustainability, and personal
transformation, the episode challenges industry norms while offering
practical advice for women seeking style and comfort. Diane's story
serves as a powerful reminder that innovation and success aren't bound
by age and that true style should embrace both sustainability and
inclusivity. Her insights on everything from fabric choices to society's
shift toward casual wear provide a fascinating lens to examine our
changing relationship with fashion and self-expression.
