HOSTED BY: Camella Ehlke

FEATURING: Helen Nwosu

Helen Nwosu started her career working for brands like J.Crew, Urban Outfitters, and the L Brands before joining Louis Vuitton North America as part of the Green Team.

Her podcast, CLOSETS, debuts in March 2021, and we are thrilled to have her back for her third Shoppe On talk. This time Helen taps into the creative mind and transformative journey of Camella Ehlke, founder of the iconic streetwear brand Triple Five Soul. Leading the charge of a new wave of young designers in 90’s New York, Camella infused fashion with hip-hop culture to address issues of identity, race, and community before the brand lost its core spirit upon her departure. She went on to weave a path from fashion to hospitality, opening a Catskills B&B that was decidedly before its time. Now, more than 30 years after launching her long and varied career, Camella talks with Helen about her latest projects – the sustainable home goods line Good Good Community Store, and her forthcoming book which will touch upon the themes of her life, including advocacy, connection, and renewal.

Thoughtful Threads, The Future Through Textiles

HOSTED BY: Helen Nwosu of Science Couture

FEATURING: Agave, Anchal, Care By Me, Noir, Soil To Studio

It's been over 20,000 years since the first string was developed, leading to the creation of the earliest textiles.

Today we benefit from endless choice, and have come to recognize the textile industry as one of the greatest growing challenges to our environment. For this week's roundtable, Helen Nwosu of Science Couture sits down with some of Shoppe On’s textile creators who are making a positive impact with their work. Join the minds behind Agave, Anchal, Care By Me, Noir Handmade and Soil To Studio, as they introduce their beautiful brands while discussing the consciousness of their production.
