The perfect commute soundtrack

I’ve stumbled on a few different shows that have periodic guests from the fashion industry, but they are sporadic for the most part. It’s nice to finally have one that is really giving access to the people behind it all. I’ve shared it with everyone at work already and can’t wait for the next episode.
