My Mother Taught Me How To Sew with Fashion Designer Jamie Banks

Jamie Banks has designed for iconic brands including Kate Spade, Shoshanna and Milly. She founded Change of Scenery, a women’s luxury, sustainable Resortwear brand which has been featured in WWD, Vogue, Oprah, InStyle, and more. Jamie brought on the pod a needlepoint piece that her mom gave her back when she was a teenager and was first learning how to sew. She keeps this very special accessory with her when designing new collections and lines and Jamie recognizes her mom as her biggest supporter and fan. Jamie and Rachel covered a lot in this episode — the preppy/Gossip Girl era of Kate Spade, how 80s movies taught them a lot, why they are big fans of bikini tops and bottoms sold separately, the old mom bathing suits with the skirts and more.
