Episode 13; Sartorial Splendour Funeral Yacht Wear

This week's episode is all about Fashion! Our hosts discuss the difference between fashion and style, sartorial trends, gender expression and revisiting their own fashion journeys. 

We explore Jake's infamous obsession with vests, cargo pants and thongs (sandals for all you Americans). We all had to live through that tragic era of distaste, and now you do too! We examine Jared's secret goth to emo to scene kid evolution including their "quick lad phase".

We go through homage design, satire and parody in designer brands, rip-offs and ripped jeans and celebrate the resounding importance of Australian design iconoclast Mambo. Our host's discuss the importance and narrative behind individual pieces; A watch, a t-shirt, a hat, a shoe... we all have that apparel that means so much to us and why!

Fashion is identity, it's a conversation starter, it's art, it's design, it's a statement, it's story and narrative. We try to dress for who we are. Once we discover who we are, we want to tell people what to expect from us before we even open our mouths. Fashion is a uniform, its modern-day armour, it's how we express our identity and protect us throughout the day.

So whether you're a Tsubi girl or a Ksubi girl, don't forget to take Selfie with your Guncle on the next Staycation and never, EVER wear Uggs boots in front of Jake!*

*Except when at home in winter.
