The Fashion Brand Clinic Podcast - Season 3 Episode 008 - How @whatemwore Launched Good Basics Club With Millions Watching
This week I’m joined by the brilliant Em aka @whatemwore whose outfit content and personal style evolved into one of the most exciting new brands on Instagram: The Good Basics Club.
What started with a few mirror selfies has grown into a sell-out label with 2 million followers watching closely. In this episode, Emma shares what it’s really like to launch with a big audience, how she built momentum behind the scenes and why simplicity is the future of fashion.
In this episode, we cover:
📦 That buzzy launch night and the reality behind the Shopify pings
📲 How she built a content strategy that actually converts
🧵 Deciding what to launch with (and what she’d change next time)
🧠 Why a slow build worked better than perfection
📈 Balancing a huge following with a small team and big heart
👚 The power of community shoots and real styling inspiration
🎯 What’s coming next for The Good Basics Club (spoiler: events, restocks and new pieces)
Whether you’re pre-launch, building a capsule collection or just feeling overwhelmed with content… Emma’s story is packed with practical advice and grounded honesty.
