We had the good fortune of connecting with Spencer Joseph and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Spencer, what inspires you?
I’m inspired by the natural world, the elegance of fashion, and the connections between people. The beauty of nature, whether it’s the ocean or mountains, serves as a stunning backdrop for my work, complementing the vibrancy of fashion. I’m also driven by the stories and emotions that fashion can convey, and I love capturing the unique narrative each piece brings. Collaboration with other creatives energizes me, and it’s this shared passion that fuels my creativity.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
My work combines fashion, nature, and storytelling, creating visual narratives that set me apart. I’m proud of how my art connects emotionally, offering a fresh perspective in the fashion world.

The journey hasn’t been easy, but I’ve overcome challenges by staying true to my vision and embracing growth. The biggest lesson I’ve learned is the importance of perseverance and surrounding myself with a supportive community.

My brand is more than just aesthetics—it’s about telling meaningful stories that resonate with people on a deeper level.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
We’d start the week with a picnic in Palisades Park at the scenic junction of Montana and Ocean, followed by happy hour drinks and wood-fired pizza at FIG in the Fairmont Hotel, downtown Santa Monica. Midweek, we’d take a leisurely beach bike ride down to Redondo Pier to enjoy the coastal views. Next, we’d dive into a serene hike at Malibu Creek State Park, rewarding ourselves with a sea bass pita wrap at Pita Bu in Malibu. Toward the end of the week, we’d savor a hearty bolognese ragu at Donna’s in Echo Park, then head to Syd’s in Silverlake for some dancing, both on Sunset Blvd. To round out the experience, we’d enjoy an evening with a game of pool and orange wine at El Chucho in Mar Vista.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
My success is largely due to the support of those around me. My family has always encouraged me to follow my passion, and the creative community I collaborate with constantly inspires and challenges me. I’m also grateful to the mentors who’ve guided me, sharing their wisdom and helping me navigate the industry.
