🧵 Episode Description
What happens when you stop creating to sell and start making for the joy of it? In this episode, I sit down with my friend and creative soulmate Erin Odell Bradley AKA Platinum Rebellion. Erin is an artist, designer, photographer, vintage icon, and the person who helped inspire this podcast in the first place.
We talk about growing up weird, going to FIT in the ‘80s, early fashion gigs, moving cross-country, and raising a family where everyone dresses like walking artistic expression. We also get into the magic of the Queer AF fashion show, the joy of 3D-printed clothes, sewing machine rage, and why aging out loud is the move. This one’s about failing forward, making cool sh*t, and dressing for the body you have now — not the one you’re waiting for.
