Join us for an insightful conversation with Victoria Watkins. As an OG fashion law attorney and blogger, Victoria established one of the first platforms dedicated to fashion law, business, and entertainment over a decade ago. Now, as Founder and Managing Partner of Inrichmint, Victoria sources and manages curated deal flow — connecting investors with creative entrepreneurs looking to scale and build their brands. In this episode, Victoria shares why intellectual property is a great value booster and essential to a company’s valuation, and why social media metrics do not always translate to revenue. We also discussed the impact of tariffs on dealmaking, and as Victoria noted, “Everybody should be paying attention to tariffs now because we are all being affected in some way or another.”

We also reflect on fashion law's evolution and explore what success in this field requires today. Recorded just days before the Met Gala and the “Superfine” exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum's Costume Institute, our conversation naturally turns to Black dandyism and athletes as today’s stars on fashion’s red carpet.
