  • Wedding Dress Designer Hayley Paige & My Planner Spill the Biggest Truths About Bridal Fashion

    Wedding Dress Designer Hayley Paige & My Planner Spill the Biggest Truths About Bridal Fashion
    Feb 11 2026
    Wedding dress designer Hayley Paige (of recent Super Bowl fame!) and luxury wedding planner Julia Noelle Ferrigno join Dinner for Shoes host Sarah Wasilak for an unfiltered conversation about the modern wedding industry through the lens of fashion, power, and self-expression.We kick things off with Hayley’s viral CNN moment imagining Taylor Swift’s wedding dress, unpacking what celebrity weddings really teach brides about symbolism versus spectacle. From there, the conversation dives deep into how today’s brides are breaking free from tradition.Hayley opens up about fighting to reclaim the rights to her own name, how that experience led to founding A Girl You Might Know Foundation, and what brides (and creators) should understand about protecting creative identity in a corporate-driven industry. Together, Hayley and Julia share insider designer-planner tea, overlooked fashion details that can make or break a wedding day, and the emotional weight brides often place on The Dress.Plus: inclusivity in bridal (what’s real vs. performative), practical advice for brides planning far in advance, and rewriting outdated wedding “rules.”Whether you’re engaged, wedding-curious, or just obsessed with fashion and power dynamics behind the scenes, this episode goes far beyond the Pinterest version of bridal.THESE SHOESMargaux The Cluny SlingbackTHIS OUTFITShop my lookHouse Of Harlow 1960 x Revolve dressNina bagVintage earringsTHESE CHAPTERS00:00 INTRO02:10 THE OUTFIT BEHIND THE SHOES03:32 HAYLEY PAIGE AND JULIA FERRIGNO INTERVIEW46:34 WEDDING INDUSTRY TAKEAWAYSTHIS PRODUCTIONis created, written, hosted, and produced by Sarah Wasilak.is creative directed and executive produced by Megan Kai.is tech supervised by Nick.includes photos and videos in chronological order by Julia Ferrigno, Hayley Paige, She Is Cheval, A Girl You Might Know Foundation, and Sarah Wasilak.references A Girl You Might Know Foundation. is made with love.Dinner for Shoes is a podcast about style and identity, bridging the gap for anyone who has ever felt like fashion is an exclusive world.

  • What Really Happens Inside a Fashion Sustainability Startup | Cerofy

    What Really Happens Inside a Fashion Sustainability Startup | Cerofy
    Jan 28 2026

    This week, Dinner for Shoes goes on location, straight to the offices of Cerofy, an eco-design and certification platform helping fashion brands actually walk the walk when it comes to sustainability and CO₂ reduction.


    I’m hanging out with Cerofy founder Corina Weikl, tattoo artist and sustainability entrepreneur (and the woman behind some of my tattoos), and Sydney Ellis, Cerofy’s Head of Sustainability & Product Strategy, to see what their real day-to-day looks like. We discuss how they help brands use data, AI, and smart design decisions to lower emissions, cut costs, and build real consumer trust without sacrificing creativity or style.


    We talk fashion materials, sustainability myths, how tech is changing the industry right now, and what actually makes a difference when it comes to reducing CO₂ emissions (just in time for International Reducing CO₂ Emissions Day).


    And yes, I showed up in a fully sustainable ‘fit for the occasion, with the shoe of the day being a pair of VIVAIA boots — made from recycled plastic water bottles — because the outfit always understands the assignment.


    Come for the fashion, stay for the tech, and leave feeling smarter (and oddly optimistic) about where the industry is headed.
