Retail Therapy 031: Tim Howard
Causing some MSCHF and talking some clothes.
Listen to today’s Retail Therapy on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube (see above), and anywhere else podcasts are found.
This week, we had the pleasure of being joined by none other than former USMNT goalkeeper, Tim Howard. Tim had originally joined The Sunday Scaries Podcast in 2021 and—given his interest in style—it only made sense to have him join Barrett and I on Retail Therapy.
To help frame the conversation, we asked Retail Therapy listeners for questions that we condensed down into a few topics:
Footwear — MSCHF’s Red Boots, the competition between EPL players to outdo each other with fashion and cars, and the infamous Tim Howard Jordans.
Spring/Summer Style — what we enjoy dressing for when it comes to spring/summer vs. fall/winter, things we’re looking forward to wearing, lace shirts, and more.
Routines — Morning routines, Tim’s mornings before heading to the studio for studio action, and who influences how he dresses on-air.
The conversation (vibe???) then shifted toward some current events and trends, some of which were over my head so I’m glad I could let Barrett and Tim cook while talking fashion houses.
Pharrell Williams Is Louis Vuitton’s Next Men’s Designer — Read
The French luxury brand announced on Instagram that it had hired Mr. Williams about 16 months after the sudden death of its previous men’s wear designer, Virgil Abloh, in 2021. Mr. Williams, the brand said in a statement, “is a visionary whose creative universes expand from music to art, and to fashion — establishing himself as a cultural global icon."
Phoebe Philo Will Unveil Her New Brand in September — Read
In a world dominated by social media oversharers, an Instagram account with zero posts but many followers is the territory of the enigmatic but mightily influential. See Kendrick Lamar, Frank Ocean and – since last week – Phoebe Philo.
The designer’s account appeared on 9 February with an appropriately minimal message: “Our inaugural collection will be revealed and available on our website, phoebephilo.com, in September 2023. We will be opening for registration in July 2023 and look forward to being back in touch then.” It has since been deleted, but not before the followers ramped up – 166,000 at the time of writing – and the account gained blue tick verification.
The Forestcore Home Interior Trend is Taking Over Your FYP — Read
This particular TikTok decor trend — which has amassed more than 167 million views as of publication — is favoured by those who aim to bring the great outdoors into the comfort of their own home with nature-inspired furnishings, colour schemes, and a lot of greenery.
The Non-Surgical Buccal Fat Removal-Adjacent Mouth Technique for Photos
From Casey Lewis’s After School newsletter: “TikTok is obsessed with self-improvement and plastic surgery and cosmetic perfection, so it tracks that "mewing" — a trend where people essentially do tongue exercises in order to get a snatched jawline — is all over the platform.”
Of course, we closed things out with our wishlists and imminent cops.
To begin 2023, we are going to hit the reset button on our wishlists and make them a bit more digestible for the year ahead. To access the complete version of our 2022 wishlists, look no further than our final Listener Digest of 2022.
