About this episode
On today's show, we're chatting with Haile Lidow, the founder of Lidow Archive, which is a clothing rental fantasyland of over 9,000 pieces of vintage & contemporary designer clothing and accessories that Haile has collected over the course of 15-years — it now occupies an entire wing of her Los Angeles home/studio. Her pieces have been worn by Chappel Roan, Lady Gaga, and Madonna and that's because Haile loves the vibrant, the stand-out, the statement making….. And we haven't even talked about the shoe closet yet, which contains 24 pairs of Marc Jacobs boots, including 9 pairs of Kiki boots, which have been worn by the likes of Rihanna and Olivia Rodrigo. I'll let Haile tell you all about it! – let's dive right in!
