Step behind the velvet rope and into the real, often unglamorous, workings of the style world with Fashion Empire-A reality journal inside and out. Hosted by industry veteran Jackie Bertolette, whose own career spans fashion editing, editorial photography, and model management, this podcast pulls back the curtain on how things actually get made. It’s less about distant runways and more about the tangible, sometimes messy, creativity that fuels them. Each episode feels like a candid conversation with the people who shape what we see and wear, from stylists and designers to makeup artists and brand strategists. You’ll hear practical advice that goes beyond simple tips, honest discussions about sustainable trends versus fleeting fads, and personal stories about the hustle behind the gloss. Jackie’s perspective, grounded in decades of hands-on experience, guides these talks toward substance, offering listeners a genuine education in aesthetics and business. Tune in for a refreshingly direct take on beauty and fashion, where insider knowledge is shared not as a secret, but as a tool for anyone looking to understand or navigate this compelling industry. This is the reality journal you didn’t know you needed, documenting the empire from its foundations up.
