1889: The Economics of Style and Fashion...

Farnoosh Torabi
About this episode

If you’ve been shopping lately, you’ve probably noticed — clothes cost a lot more than they used to. Inflation has hit fashion hard, but the quality? Not so much. From fast fashion to high-end brands, shoppers are wondering: why are we paying more for pieces that don’t seem to last?


To help us make sense of it all — and learn how to shop smarter — I’m joined by stylist Amy Salinger, founder of StyleMethod®. (Catch me on her podcast!)


Self-taught and style-obsessed, Amy built her career on the belief that great style isn’t innate — it’s intentional. Her signature method has helped hundreds of clients align how they look with who they truly are, across all body types, lifestyles, and life stages. After more than a decade working one-on-one with clients in New York City, she took her business fully online, bringing expert styling support to high-achieving people everywhere.


Through StyleMethod®, Amy helps clients reclaim their reflection — with shoulders back, chin up, and confidence fully activated. Because as she puts it, great style isn’t about trends or impressing others — it’s about showing up for yourself.


Today, we’ll talk about the real reasons fashion prices have skyrocketed, how to think about cost per wear, and Amy’s best tips for saving money on style — from end-of-season sales to discount treasure hunts and wardrobe investments that actually pay off.
