This week I’ve got a very special guest in the form of Aston Morrison, known on the internet as Aston Em, the creator of some of the most aesthetically striking fashion content videos you will ever see.

Aston manages to create truly viral moments by showing the beauty that isn’t always shown, particularly when it comes to black models and black designers.

In this episode New York-based Aston shares on his first fashion memories including watching his singer mum Elizabeth get ready to take to the stage as well as the impact that Nerd members Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo had on his own personal style.

Aston is also very open about how he sees the benefits of using AI as a creative tool, but not something that you need in order to create.
