My guest this week is Oliver Spencer, designer and co-founder of Favourbrook and his eponymous brand Oliver Spencer.
Oli and I discuss opening his first store in a recession, what it takes to build a brand, dressing creatives, and why creating personal connections and building community will determine which retailers survive.
