In Dinner for Shoes episode 34, The Ins + Outs of Fashion PR, podcast host Sarah Wasilak invites two different public relations agencies on for a chat to discuss their work and career paths. Kristjana Hillberg and Hannah Gerber of Media Muze are joined by their client Erin O’Brian Houston, co-founder and CEO of sustainable brand Wearwell. Then, fashion industry veteran Savannah Engel, founder of consulting agency Savi, talks about her renowned communications group that represents luxury labels PatBO, Markarian, and more. These two interviews shed light on what a fashion PR job is really like, providing insights, tips, and more for breaking into the business. Sarah dresses in an all-black outfit and sips a craft cocktail to reference the nature of fashion PR in New York City, Trish chases all of the lights, and we all learn about a day in the life of a hardworking fashion publicist.
