Emily Oberg Visits ‘Improper Etiquette’ Discusses Complex, Kith, Getting Hacked

August 3, 2017. Leave a Comment

Kith Women’s creative lead Emily Oberg visited Leah McSweeney and Laura Stylez‘s “Improper Etiquette” podcast, a fun conversation if only because Oberg and McSweeney have the shared experience of being women in the un-female friendly industry of streetwear.

In the interview Oberg explained how she went from growing up and living in Calgary to an on-air position at Complex. She also discussed a couple of her most famous moments as an on-air reporter, both of which entailed interviewing Supreme super fans.

After three years at Complex, Oberg explained she didn’t feel like she was progressing and had a conversation with Kith owner/founder Ronnie Fieg, who offered her a lead creative role.

Oberg also discussed her Sporty & Rich magazine and clothing brand, and  revealed she currently has a boyfriend, who is 37-years old. Initially McSweeney felt he was too old for the 23-year-old Oberg, but changed her mind when she found out his identity (whose identity was not revealed on the show).

The group also discussed who is and isn’t an influencer and how to use one’s platform responsibly. “I think that having a platform is a privilege and not a lot of people get to have that,” said Oberg, “So if your going to have this voice and have all these followers, I feel like you should use it for some good.”

McSweeney also brought up model Adrianne Ho, who sometimes takes heat for the amount of Supreme she wears. As it turns out, Oberg and Ho are friends so she had nothing but good things to say about her. “She’s actually really sweet,” said Oberg.

They also chopped it up over an array of topics, including dealing with exes and in a reference to the recent Usher lawsuit, they debated getting herpes in exchange for a million dollar payoff. They also debated Donald Trump’s recent decision to ban transgender people from the military.

The conversation switched to some of the push back Oberg has received on social media, and she spoke about being dragged for tweeting, “Your MCM wears Fashion Nova,” which she said was a joke that got blown out of proportion and turned into a race issue.

Oberg also told a story about having her Instagram account hacked and receiving a creepy message on her phone after she got her account back.

Check out the podcast below.

Retailer Atmos, owned by Foot Locker will be ceasi Retailer Atmos, owned by Foot Locker will be ceasing operations in North America. The website and retail locations will be shutting down to further focus on Japan in Asia.

In press about the announcement Atmos SVP and GM Patrick Walsh says,"The Atmos brand has a unique and authentic identity, character and spirit. Given the strength of Atmos in Japan and Asia, we are focused on further investing in this market. Though in line with this focus and our plans for simplification, we have made the strategic decision to close our three Atmos stores in North America and our Atmos U.S. website. We are confident that this is the right move for Atmos and will help us continue to work in service of bringing sneaker and street culture to our customers in Asia.”

The Atmos women's store in Philadelphia opened in October 2022!!
Today, Kering announced the appointment of Dublin, Today, Kering announced the appointment of Dublin, Ireland-born designer Sean McGirr as the new creative director of Alexander McQueen after the departure of Sarah Burton.

A graduate of London’s prestigious Central Saint Martins fashion school, he embarked on his career as an assistant at Burberry and Vogue Hommes Japan before becoming part of the creative team at Uniqlo. Prior to his tenure at JW Anderson, McGirr served as the womenswear designer at the renowned Belgian fashion brand, Dries Van Noten.

With the appointment of McGuirr Kering no longer has any woman creative director for its fashion brands. The visual on the slide.

A new #Gucci luggage campaign under Sabato de Sarn A new #Gucci luggage campaign under Sabato de Sarno's creative direction starring Kendall Jenner and Bad Bunny, was unveiled this weekend.

To give context to the campaign, a portion of the press release reads,"Shot in an airport, the meeting place where journeys begin, the campaign explores the intimacy of traveling together through the creative lens of Anthony Seklaoui. Stills capture the fleeting spirit of Kendall Jenner and Bad Bunny's airport stroll, redefining the Jet Set glamour of the 1990s."

Does this campaign count as a relationship hard launch?

Sarah Burton presented her last collection as Alex Sarah Burton presented her last collection as Alexander McQueen's creative director during Paris Fashion Week this Saturday. Naomi campbell closed the show in a stunning silver dress!

Burton's tenure as creative director for Alexander McQueen has  been remarkable, spanning an impressive 26 years. Her ability to maintain the brand's distinctive blend of beauty and edge is noteworthy.

Burton became creative director in  2010 after the tragic loss of Lee Alexander McQueen. As the only female creative director in Kering's fashion portfolio, her contributions have been significant, and her departure, in our opinion leaves a big gap in a house with a very deep and unique brand dna. 

Any thoughts on who will be the next McQueen creative director?
