Transition of Style is a podcast about gender expression and style, how they meet, and how queer leaders are disrupting the fashion system as we know it. By sharing stories within the queer community, Transition of Style highlights the change-makers in an industry that the LGBT+ community consistently contributes to, but hardly ever gets credit for. With storytelling and business analysis, we highlight how different we are within our shared experiences because queer folks in fashion deserve to be elevated.© 2023 Fashion Consort, All Rights Reserved.
