So here goes our first guest special of 2023. And we had the absolute pleasure of interviewing BBC Traitors winner Meryl Williams.
As Traitors addicts we had to try not to fan girl too much but absolutely failed. In this high energy podcast we discuss with Meryl her say yes attitude, her favourite brands and how she wants to make an impact on the fashion industry for those with dwarfism. We are truly humbled and totally inspired by Meryl.

Happy New Year! ✨
The girls are feeling all the positive vibes as they set their intentions for 2023 with the help from Francesca Amber.

🚨 *TRIGGER WARNING* 🚨 - This podcast contains topics of: child pornography and grooming.
In this episode of the Fashademix, Laura and Sophie have a meaningful conversation about childhood experiences and how they have impacted their buying decisions and as well as how they handle day to day pressures.
They also discuss in depth the catastrophic error made by the luxury fashion house Balenciaga. For over a century, the high fashion brand has been synonymous with wearable luxury, fluid tailoring, and in more recent years – Kim Kardashian. However, after several atrocious styling decisions in November earlier this year, Balenciaga is now being uttered in the same breath as child pornography, grooming, and, even Satan. What does this mean for the future of the brand.
They get to know M&S with their recent Christmas advert calendar and look forward to the new year and what lies ahead for The Fashademix!
HAPPY NEW YEAR! Love Laura, Sophie and Producer Pete!

Maskless in the Studio - and Special Guest Joy Julius, winner of Graduate Fashion Week's Black Excellence Prize
It's Freedom Week in the UK! Laura and Sophie are maskless in the studio but have no plans to start being reckless. How will consumers react to this new found freedom and what will the lifting of restrictions mean for the Fashion Industry and retail?
Plus the girls interview fabulous human being and Kingston Uni graduate Joy Julius, who won the very first ever Graduate Fashion Week Black Excellence Prize.

@joyjulius_This week's like to know is the wonderful brand @beautybaycom who celebrate natural beauty on their instagram, saying 'nah' to 'hot girl summer' and instead going for 'no shame summer'. Also a shout out to Norway, who have decided any influencer has to declare their use of filters and edits in their posts. A step in the right direction, as @GlamourUK writes.
