Glad that you highlighted some brands that have already tried having a CD. It’s not easy to give up or share creative control, especially as a founder. I’ve been quietly exploring the possibility of bringing on a co-founder to my fashion services agency; Clearly Invincible. The thought is unnerving as you adequately put it. But still excited to see how brands personalise having a CD - like Emmy Kasbit having a guest designer is so genius.

Also, thanks for featuring my comment 🫶🏾

Interesting! never thought of a CD role at a fashion service agency before, would love to see how that unfolds one day! Agreed, Emmy Kasbit has a super smart team behind it and excited to see if this guest designer idea comes to fruition

Appreciate your support!🫶🏾

Appreciate you educating us! I'd love to see some African heritage houses one day. I think that would dramatically change how the fashion world (and quite frankly everyone else) perceives the continent.

Completely agree. There are a couple of brands that I could see becoming heritage houses if they manage to sustain momentum, but that’s the tricky part. Glad you enjoyed it, Nick!
