  • Craft is everywhere

    Episode from May 2, as if craft isn’t expertly executed in Europe? It’s all over the world so no, you don’t get to claim craft is only in the global south or change fashion house culture. And artisans are “exploited” everywhere, hardly not not just global south.

    The

    Why do you only interview men? You cannot find one female designer/business owner?

  • The male gaze

    It would be interesting to have some female voices and opinions. Perhaps the problem with luxury fashion is that there aren’t enough women driving the brands. In an industry that is aimed at female consumers where are the female designers and CEOs? This podcast also feels like it is through a male lens.
