MODERATOR

Recho Omondi, Host of The Cutting Room Floor
 

Recho Omondi is the host and creator of the  fashion podcast "The Cutting Room Floor." Omondi has become a force in fashion, known for her forthright interview style built to draw out candid insights from fashion’s movers and shakers. After graduating from the Savannah College of Art and Design, Omondi started her career in retail at Barneys. She then worked as a pattern-maker for Calvin Klein and Theory. In 2013, she channelled her Kenyan heritage and New York lifestyle into founding her own (now-shuttered) fashion label, OMONDI. Feeling a deeper need to express herself outside design and fill in gaps in coverage by traditional, historically insulated fashion media, Omondi launched "The Cutting Room Floor," with the tagline “fashion’s only fashion show.” The podcast became a platform for open and honest dialogue, featuring conversations with voices from across the fashion industry: from brand executives to behind-the-scenes product developers.
