The Who What Wear Podcast: Discovering Fashion's Next Big Thing With Up Next Designer Founder Albert Ayal

Albert Ayal is the founder of Up Next Designer, an influential Instagram account highlighting the most exciting emerging designers in fashion.

Ayal also used his PR skills to advocate for these designers, connecting them with stylists, celebrities, and other resources to grow their brands. Today, the account has over 500,000 followers and is a huge source of education, information, and inspiration.
