As I sat in my bed shortly after posting this newsletter’s official launch announcement, I slowly realized, wow. I actually have to write this thing.
First and foremost, I want to deeply thank all of you for coming on this journalistic-diary-advice column-inquiry with me. Your continued support is extremely valued and it truly means the world to me that any non-immediate family members would want to read a single word of my writing!
Since this is preceding the official first issue of FLAVORFULL, I want to provide a little rundown of what you can expect. I am consistently unsure of how to define myself within the fashion world beyond the singular fact that I genuinely love fashion as an art form and would participate/volunteer in probably any role that contributed towards creating something meaningful in this industry. As those of you who follow me on TikTok have perhaps seen, I enjoy critical discourse, sharing my 5 am thoughts on the 4 P’s of marketing, and the occasional deep dive into the legal side of fashion licensing.*
*Sometimes I still think about the person who commented on one of my copyright TikToks saying that my video alone clarified what they were studying for their law exam the next day and that thought is, albeit flattering, completely terrifying.
Before this introduction becomes too lengthy, I want to tell you that this newsletter, this passion project of mine, will consist of exactly these serious fashion-induced conversations and MORE—styling, shopping wishlists, personal fashion anecdotes, q&a, maybe even niche gossip about things in which you didn’t even know you should concern yourself. Please bear with me as both you and I grow together in figuring out how to shape this space into something exciting and special for GuyFieri Superfan super fans to enjoy everywhere.
*A reminder: free signups will be email-only and consist of shopping recommendations, styling tips, quick editorial thoughts, book club, and a teaser of the long-form articles in the paid subscription. Paid subscribers will receive FULL access to all content, reader q&a’s, the website, as well as the archives.
THAT BEING SAID, HERE WE GO . . . 08/01/21
