Episode 147: Catalogapalooza (part two), with Jess!

Stay calm and avoid paper cuts as Jess (@jesinspace) joins Amanda for part two of their deep dive into all things catalogs! We’ll cover the story of Lillian Vernon, before digging into the catalogs of our tween and teen years, including Delias and Alloy. And because hindsight is always 20/20, we’ll lay out where these companies went wrong, while also kinda framing out the idea of “brand” and “lifestyle” for millennials and millennial-focused brands in the 21st century. Also in this episode: audio essays from Marianna of Luneta Creations and Natalie of Yellow Clover Vintage. And a bonus segment dedicated to Susan Massey: Amanda tells the story of the Swiss Colony catalog.
