Alex James (PLEASURES)

<p>My guest this week is<strong> Alex James</strong>, co-founder of <a href="https://pleasuresnow.com/"><strong>PLEASURES</strong></a>.</p><p>You’re all probably super familiar with the Los Angeles brand. You’ve seen their name mashed through your fav logo. They have a very punk approach to fashion, their collabs are incredible, and the company has a knack for being about two years ahead of what you like before you like it.</p><p>You’ll hear this on the pod, but PLEASURES is a brand that makes you want to dive deeper into all their influences and one of the few brands that is more rewarding the deeper you go.</p><p>Alex and I discuss his early career in the fashion industry, working at a rag house, selling vintage, the original name of the brand, and using PLEASURES as an educational platform.</p><p>Alex James on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ayejames/">Instagram</a></p><p>**</p><p>Sponsored by <strong>Standard & Strange</strong> – Get the facts on denim 👖 <a href="https://standardandstrange.com/pages/blamo">here</a></p><p>and</p><p>Sponsored by <a href="https://topperjewelers.com">Topper Jewelers</a> check out their <a href="https://topperjewelers.com/collections/omega-james-bond-watches">curated picks of all the watches from <i>No Time to Die</i></a><i>.</i></p>
