Fashion designer Rachel Comey has always done things in a tightly focused way—and on her own terms. For more than two decades, she has followed an independent, wholly original approach to clothing design and retail that has resulted in her eponymous brand’s staying power. From novelty underwear with pockets, to a hand-painted shirt that musician David Bowie once wore on the Late Show with David Letterman, to her trademark high-waisted, wide-legged Legion pants, Comey’s designs stand out for their artful craft, distinctive aesthetic, and no-fuss sensibility. Beautiful as they are, they’re also, in a sense, utilitarian: Comey spends her time imagining her wearers’ needs as they go about their days and designs around that. There is something about the entire Rachel Comey universe that comes across as effortlessly cool.On this episode, Comey talks with Andrew about her 20-plus years in the fashion industry experimenting while staying true to herself, childhood memories that have helped shape her enduring designs, and her attention toward creating joy through clothing.Special thanks to our Season 6 sponsor, L’ÉCOLE, School of Jewelry Arts.Show notes:Full transcriptRachel Comey[34:29] Fashion Week[47:39] Pioneer Works[49:14] High Maintenance[52:08] Legion Pant

Rachel Comey on Meeting Her Customers Right Where They’re At

Rachel Comey started her eponymous label through genuine curiosity about how people communicated through their fashion choices. It was a foundation rooted in the designer honoring her instinct rather than the product of formal learning in fashion school. Nearly twenty years later, the label remains a solid favorite in the fashion world in spite of its independent origin. Hosts Susan and Todd speak with Rachel about engaging the label's cult following in the midst of the COVID-induced push toward e-commerce, what fashion can learn from the food industry, and how following her instinct shaped her much-loved brand.Show NotesRachel Comey Julia Ziegler Haynes
