The Brandon Mahler Interview with Throwing Fits

Author: Throwing Fits April 25, 2024 Duration: 2:01:25

Our interview with Brandon Mahler is hardcore. Brandon—global visual merchandising manager at Aimé Leon Dore—jumped out our group chat to make his pod debut on accepting his title as the most stylish man in New York, how many berets is too many berets, what the hell a visual merchandiser actual even does, professional hoarding, what it was like renovating ALD's flagship, what sets the NYC and London stores apart and their often imitated never duplicated secret sauce, inspo across the pond, getting roasted for his jellies on Reddit, why certain jawnz enthusiasts needs to touch grass/collect rocks/play with bugs, the only guy we'd bring back personal style talk for, the psychotic fits he's workshopping for summer, what won't he wear, boldface lies about his monthly shopping budget, a real time running list of grails, cutting his teeth in Houston's Galleria Gucci and Austin's menswear trenches, his own picks for most stylish real guys, ye olde days of #menswear past, the hardcore to menswear guy pipeline, fits lost to the pit, 2024 trend talk, whether or not he believes in TF's concept of jawnz ruiners, reining it in on first dates, your partner not tryna hear you nerd out about clothing all the time and much more on Brandon Mahler's interview with The Only Podcast That Matters™.

In a world saturated with polished takes and predictable opinions, Throwing Fits offers a refreshingly unfiltered conversation. This podcast operates from the premise that two self-proclaimed grown dirtbags can provide some of the most genuine commentary on contemporary culture. The hosts navigate the ever-shifting landscape of style, art, and what it means to be a person with interests in today's world, all without taking themselves too seriously. Listeners are invited into a space where high and low culture collide, where a deep dive into a fashion trend can sit comfortably beside a rant about daily absurdities. The tone is less instructional and more observational, driven by a shared curiosity and a willingness to question the status quo. You'll hear the hosts grapple with the zeitgeist, often finding humor and insight in the most unexpected places. Their dynamic is the core of the show-a blend of camaraderie, playful ribbing, and moments of surprising sincerity that makes each episode feel like catching up with your most opinionated, yet oddly relatable, friends. It’s a dialogue about the things that shape our tastes and identities, delivered with a distinct voice that refuses to be neatly categorized. For those tired of formulaic discussions, this podcast provides a much-needed dose of personality and authentic, meandering conversation that somehow always circles back to what’s interesting, weird, or worth talking about right now.
