Ep. 9: Style, status, and self-love: A Conversation with stylist, designer, and closet philosopher Wale Sanni
Update: 2025-06-09
Description
In this episode of Closet Philosophy, we talk to stylist and luxury handbag designer Wale Sanni about what personal style really means—and it has little to do with what we wear. Wale shares how he went from sneakerhead to Saks stylist, why timeless style is about emotional connection, and how status, self-worth, and fashion are always intertwined.
We also dive deep into:
- Why people say they don't care about status but they usually do
- Why quality isn't just about fabric—it's about how you care for your clothes
- The deeper meaning of the Walmart Birkin
- How self-love is the foundation of great style
Plus, Walle shares his take on what three things are actually worth investing in if you want a wardrobe that works and feels meaningful.
