In episode 4 of #hopecore, Sachi joins cult-favorite fashion designer Erica Tanov in her serene Berkeley atelier to explore her philosophy of embracing what’s real rather than chasing perfection.

Known for her timeless approach to fashion and interiors, Erica reveals intuition as a driving force in her work. "For me,” she says, “going with the flow doesn’t mean every decision made from the heart or intuition works out perfectly. But I need to live my life that way—so I’m never left wondering what might have happened if I didn’t.”

Her commitment to slow fashion and artful living transforms beauty into something both accessible and deeply personal in a world where art is often out of reach. By weaving beauty into the fabric of daily life, Erica offers an invitation to slow down, to notice, and to find richness in the tactile, the handmade, and the imperfect.
