Telfar's Problem with Mainstream Media Representation

Full episode on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/thecuttingroomfloor Telfar Clemens needs no introduction. He launched TELFAR in 2005, and this interview marks 20 years in business for a brand built without corporate backers or legacy fashion house funding — solely customer support. In the full 128MIN interview, we discuss Telfar’s rise to global renown, touching on his refusal to conform to - or rely on - the traditional fashion system, his 2017 CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund award win, the tipping point for his business in 2020, and the launch of his own, 24-hour TV channel (Telfar.tv) Towards the end of the conversation, we are joined by Telfar’s Creative Director and longtime friend, Babak Radboy, who shares further insights on the brand’s creativity, community, and why the vision was always “not for you, for everyone.” TT: https://www.tiktok.com/@tcrfff IG: https://www.instagram.com/omndi
