In this two part episode, Leigh Campbell chats with fashion whisperer Lucinda Pikkat about what really makes brands "cool"! With 15 years in PR and trend forecasting (and a cult TikTok following hanging on her brand advice), Lucinda breaks down why some Aussie labels thrive while others face-plant into irrelevance. From the resurrection of iconic Y2K brands, to why New Balance went from daggy dad shoes to must-haves, they unpack how cultural relevancy, brand identity, and a dash of rule-breaking create that coveted cool factor. Plus, Leigh loved chatting with Lucinda so much that we just had to ask her back for next weeks episode! Mamamia's studios are furnished with thanks to Fenton & Fenton.
