Tiff Soga on Fashion, Culture And Controversy
Listen on Spotify or Apple

In this thought-provoking episode of Immigrantly, host Saadia Khan sits down with Tiff Soga, Managing Editor at Who What Wear, for a raw conversation on fashion’s future. The interview peels back the glossy surface of the industry to reveal the politics, power dynamics, and cultural narratives woven into what we wear. Soga, who entered the fashion world through a nontraditional path, talks candidly about imposter syndrome, performative representation, and the tension between editorial integrity and commerce.

You can connect with Saadia on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠X ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@swkkhan or email her at [email protected] to share your thoughts about the episode.
