E8 : Cheetah Print
Available now on Spotify and Apple Podcasts
Cheetah print is bold, available in a variety of shades, a little bit wild, and a little bit sexy. In other words, it's the absolute embodiment of a Full Fat take on fashion. In this episode, Natalie and Sam discuss their 'baby cheetah' days and beyond, sharing their favourite stores, binge brands, and style icons. The pair also talk about the creativity that comes with living in a marginalized body and the evolution of their own personal style. If you've ever had trouble fitting in or finding your size, you're going to relate. The Fatties pay respect to the true power of fashion and leave you with some tips and inspiration to become more bold, wild, and 'fully fat' in your fashion choices.
