In Episode 16, Teddi and Melissa welcome designer Tytus of "Tytus by Tytus," whose distinctive sustainable couture brand launched in 2016. Dressed in his signature style—a tweed jacket, necktie without a shirt, ripped pants, and thigh-high camo boots with spiked heels—Tytus embodies his brand's unique blend of "informal formal wear" that combines structured silhouettes with edgy streetwear elements.
The conversation explores his surprising design inspiration: dinosaurs, which represent something "completely different" and "majestic" with both structure and organic flow, qualities he incorporates into his primarily upcycled designs.
Tytus shares his journey from an After School Matters program to developing his self-taught design practice focused on transforming thrifted materials into one-of-a-kind pieces. He discusses his fashion show "Raw XD: Wild Ones," featuring 18 looks showcasing his aesthetic in a jungle-inspired setting. The discussion takes a fascinating turn when Tytus identifies the 1970s as his favorite fashion era, praising how men had the freedom to express themselves beyond traditional masculinity. Tytus's confidence, creativity, and commitment to authentic self-expression shine through, offering listeners insight into how sustainable fashion can serve as both personal statement and industry revolution.
