Episode 159: Elizabeth Hawes

About this episode

This episode tells the story of designer Elizabeth Hawes and her philosophy on fashion and comfort.

This week's episode is the story of a woman who dared to say that beauty should feel as good as it looked. Think about your favorite outfit... you know, the one that makes you feel most like yourself. The one that you reach for over and over again. I'd bet all my podcast earnings that it's not one that pinches or squeezes you....one that hurts. I bet it's the outfit that allows you to move and breathe. That's exactly the kind of clothing that designer Elizabeth Hawes wanted to make. To support the podcast, visit our Buy Me A Coffee Page .
