8. #trending

New year, new episode (finally!). If you've ever wondered how clothing stores end up with a similar set of items each season, this episode is for you.  We interview Tully Walter, Sportsgirl's in-house trend forecaster, to find out how fashion trends are birthed and what they say about the social and political mood of the moment. (There's a reason why tie dye is taking off right now and it involves more than Justin Bieber.)  Amie then spills the beans on what it's like for her to design clothing under the pressures of our turbo-speed trend cycle. Spoiler: it involves a lot of Zara.  Follow us at instagram.com/smartcasualpodcast
