Clothing Currents - with Eliza Brooke of Racked




Loose Threads — Consumer, retail, fashion and commerce show

Summary: On the 54th episode of the Loose Threads Podcast, a show about the rapidly changing consumer economy, I talk with Eliza Brooke, a senior writer at Racked, a publication that covers shopping from all different angles. Racked takes a consumer perspective to covering the industry, rather than solely focusing on the business side, which makes its lens unique. We had a great talk about Eliza’s career, her favorite and most interesting stories, and where the industry is headed as complexity lingers from every angle. I really enjoyed talking Eliza about the culture side of the industry. Most interviews on here tend to be about the business side, but it’s important not to lose site of the cultural side as well, since they are directly linked. — Show Notes — Eliza Brooke https://www.racked.com/authors/eliza-brooke Edited by George Drake Jr. — About Loose Threads — http://LooseThreads.com Join the newsletter: http://eepurl.com/buLQY9 Twitter: http://twitter.com/loosethreadscom The Loose Threads Podcast explores rapidly changing consumer economy.
