S2E8: The Psychology of Fashion | Shakaila Forbes-Bell

Welcome to the eighth episode of ‘The IKKIVI Podcast Season 2’. In this episode, we have with us Shakaila Forbes-Bell, a fashion psychologist and researcher specializing in the intersection of fashion, identity, and mental health. Through her platform ‘Fashion Is Psychology’, she has worked closely with several global brands to unpack the psychological impact of style and beauty. She has been featured in The Guardian, CNN, Who What Wear, and more, along with features in Vogue, The Times, and Grazia.  In this episode, we speak with her about pursuing fashion psychology as a career, the story and intention behind her platform ‘Fashion Is Psychology’, and the impact fashion has on us. We also speak with her about its importance, how fashion psychology promotes and nurtures a more inclusive fashion industry, and ways we can discover and identify our individual styles. We learned so much from this conversation, and we are so excited to have you listen to this episode! You can follow her work on her Instagram.
