Det råder inget tvivel om att modevärldens creative directors ofta är stöpta i en och samma form: vita män. Kanske blir det aldrig så uppenbart som i kristider som dessa. Ser man till de stora modehusen är bristen på mångfald bakom kulisserna – på huvudkontoren – ofta slående. Detta är förstås ett problem ur en mängd perspektiv: Vem får göra avtryck? Vem har karriärmöjligheter? Men också ur affärssynpunkt. Det rör sig trots allt om en industri som är oerhört global både i produktion och konsumtion. Ett av de främsta affärsskälen för att bedriva arbete kring mångfald och inkludering är att öka graden av kreativitet och innovation. Något som nog står högt upp på många modeföretags agendor just nu. Samtidigt är modevärlden en sluten värld. Det är svårt att röra sig från, säg, byggbranschen till modebranschen. Precis som på alla kulturproduktionsfält är det viktigt att kunna läsa fältet, förstå dess inneboende mekanismer i värdeskapandet. Men det finns initiativ som överbryggar dessa problem. I dagens avsnitt träffar vi Jamie Gill, tidigare vd på brittiska modehuset Roksanda, styrelsemedlem i British Fashion Council och också grundare och vd för The Outsiders Perspective, en organisation som syftar till att hjälpa lyx-, mode-, skönhets- och mediaindustrierna att förändras och bli mer innovativa med hjälp av ytterst skickliga yrkespersoner från andra industrier och som dessutom tillhör etniska minoriteter och just nu är underrepresenterade i modeindustrin. Vi gör också ett besök på Latin American Fashion Summit, som också är ett initiativ för att bredda modeindustrin och skapa nya kontaktytor. Programmet leds av Jenny Lantz, docent i företagsekonomi med inriktning mot kulturekonomi vid Handelshögskolan i Stockholm. Intervjuerna från Latin American Fashion Summit görs av modejournalisten Sofia Hedström de Leo. Bakom podden står också Tina Sendlhofer, Stockholm Environment Institute. Tack för att du lyssnar!

fWotD Episode 2827: Nihilism (Alexander McQueen collection) Welcome to Featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia’s finest articles.The featured article for Thursday, 30 January 2025 is Nihilism (Alexander McQueen collection).Nihilism (Spring/Summer 1994) is the third collection by the British designer Alexander McQueen for his eponymous fashion house. McQueen developed the collection following the launch of his own label with Taxi Driver, which was exhibited in March 1993 at the Ritz Hotel in London in lieu of a fashion show. An eclectic collection with no straightforward theme, Nihilism pushed back against dominant womenswear trends with its hard tailoring, and aggressive, sexualised styling. It was created in collaboration with McQueen's associates Simon Ungless and Fleet Bigwood. Like Taxi Driver, Nihilism included experimental techniques, silhouettes, and materials, such as dresses made from cellophane, stained with clay, or adorned with dead locusts. Nihilism was McQueen's first professional runway show. The British Fashion Council provided backing; it was the first time they had done so for a new designer. It was staged during London Fashion Week on 18 October 1993 at the Bluebird Garage, which had a reputation as a hub for drug use and criminal activity. The styling was intended to be provocative and disturbing. The clothing was highly sexualised: thin fabric that exposed the skin underneath, or garments cut to expose breasts and vulvas. McQueen's signature bumster trousers, whose extremely low waist exposed the top of the intergluteal cleft, made their first runway appearance in Nihilism. Models were styled to look filthy and aggressive, with inspiration from the punk subculture, and were encouraged to act belligerently on the runway. The collection received mixed reviews. Journalists had a difficult time deciding what to make of it. Many accused McQueen of misogyny for presenting such extreme designs; the claim persisted throughout his career, although he consistently objected to it. McQueen returned to many of the ideas he explored in Nihilism throughout his lifetime, especially the interplay of sexuality and violence. Three items from Nihilism appeared in the retrospective exhibit Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:30 UTC on Thursday, 30 January 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Nihilism (Alexander McQueen collection) on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm long-form Ruth.

In this episode James shares with Jayda what it was like becoming a model as a plus size dark skinned man and the self-actualisation that his first ever shoot had, and the feeling of figuring it out what it is you want to do in life. James also unpacks tokenism that happens in modelling and what the difference is between feeling tokenised versus fashion being truly inclusive, and how what you see in the people behind the scenes makes all the difference. On this he also spoke about the competition and colourism between plus size and dark skinned models and why he wants to see more space made in fashion for people like him. Jayda also asks James about the male experience of body image and James' journey with body acceptance and James shared how it really doesn't matter how you look on the outside but it's how you internally feel about yourself.

Det är ingen nyhet att den kreativa sidan av modefältet domineras av vita människor och att dess utveckling präglats av att främst vita människor haft tillträde till den. Just nu pågår många initiativ för att öka mångfalden och inkluderingen i olika modeföretag och modeskolor. Men man behöver också berätta andra historier om mode och vidga idén om vad mode är. I dagens avsnitt står social hållbarhet i fokus, där mångfald och inkludering är en självklar del. Vi tar avstamp i en utställning som gick på Somerset House i London under hösten och vintern, The Missing Thread: Untold Stories of Black British Fashion, som på ett fantastiskt sätt berättade historien om svart brittiskt mode genom fyra teman: home, tailoring, performance och nightlife. Varje tema inbegrep, i vid bemärkelse, rum där svart brittiskt mode och design dels hämtat inspiration, dels utvecklats och blomstrat på helt egna villkor. Historien, som återberättas i podden, är oerhört gripande men också djupt fascinerande och utställningen var i sig en hyllning och ett erkännande till en uppsjö svarta brittiska designers som tidigare inte fått den uppmärksamhet de förtjänar. Vi talar om strategier man tar till när ens karriär inte tar fart på samma sätt som den vita normen, om hur rasism kom till uttryck på 80- och 90-talen, om Joe Casely-Hayford – den förbisedda designern som till slut fick ett postumt erkännande av British Fashion Council i höstas, vi pratar om intersektionalitet, om anpassning, om vad Morgan Stanley som var stolt huvudsponsor av utställningen kunde lära sig av den, om korsbefruktning mellan mode, konst, musik, nagelbarer, med mera, om kulturell appropriering och autenticitet. Vi samtalar med utställningens curator, Andrew Ibi, forskare och lärare vid Liverpool John Moores University där han leder modeinstitutionen, men också själv designer, och DJ och entreprenör. Vi träffar också Patricia Saunders, professor i engelska vid University of Miami, specialiserad inom karibiska studier och författare till boken Buyers Beware och Donna Hope, professor i kultur, samhälle och genus vid University of West Indies i Jamaica, och också hon specialiserad inom karibiska studier. Donna Hope är författare till boken Dancehall Queen. Designers som omtalas i avsnittet är bland andra Joe Casely-Hayford, Ozwald Boateng, Bruce Oldfield, Chris Ofili, Eddie Chambers, Ninivah Khomo, Monisola Omotos, Maud Sulter, Faisal Abdu'Allah, Christine Checinska, Keith Piper, Nicholas Daley, Bianca Saunders och Saul Nash. Programmet leds av Jenny Lantz, docent i företagsekonomi med inriktning på kulturekonomi vid Handelshögskolan i Stockholm. Intervjuerna med Patricia Saunders och Donna Hope görs av modejournalisten Sofia Hedström de Leo. Bakom podden står också forskaren Tina Sendlhofer, Stockholm Environment Institute.

fWotD Episode 2474: Taxi Driver (Alexander McQueen collection) Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day where we read the summary of the featured Wikipedia article every day.The featured article for Monday, 12 February 2024 is Taxi Driver (Alexander McQueen collection).Taxi Driver (Autumn/Winter 1993) is the second collection by British designer Alexander McQueen for his eponymous fashion house. It was named after the 1976 film Taxi Driver, and his father, who was a London taxicab driver. McQueen developed the collection following his 1992 graduation from the art school Central Saint Martins. At the time he was unemployed and seeking a job in the fashion industry; although he was reluctant to launch his own company, he worked on designs to pass the time. The collection included experimental techniques and silhouettes, most notably the bumster trouser, whose extremely low waist exposed the top of the intergluteal cleft.In lieu of a traditional fashion show, Taxi Driver was exhibited in a room at the Ritz Hotel during London Fashion Week in March 1993. McQueen was one of six young designers funded by the British Fashion Council that year. Aided by magazine editor Isabella Blow, who took it upon herself to promote McQueen, the collection garnered positive reviews. When the exhibition ended, McQueen packed the clothing into bin bags, went clubbing, and left the bags hidden in the rubbish behind the club. When he returned the next day, the rubbish had been removed. Nothing remains of the collection.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:50 UTC on Monday, 12 February 2024.For the full current version of the article, see Taxi Driver (Alexander McQueen collection) on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm Kajal Neural.

In this episode we're shining a light on one of our industry's most exciting events of the year, and that's London Fashion Week. We're kicking the show off by speaking with someone who knows a lot about this subject: Nordstrom Women's Designer Fashion and Editorial Director Rickie De Sole. Rickie then takes the helm and chats with Caroline Rush, CEO of the British Fashion Council, about her role in supporting emerging designers and established fashion houses throughout this massive event. In advance of London Fashion Week, we were super fortunate to talk with esteemed British fashion designers Simone Rocha and Erdem, who had two of the most acclaimed collections from the event. WWD wrote that Simone Rocha's show "cast a romantic spell"; Harper's Bazaar called her collection "extremely covetable." British Vogue lauded Erdem's collection's "historical significance and mind-blowing sense of resourcefulness." We'll be digging into the designers' creative muses and exploring their unique backgrounds to discover how they've earned such revered reputations in the London fashion scene and around the world. London Fashion Week is a very important time for us, and a lot of fun for our teams that get to travel and see some incredible fashion shows.

Xi Jinping's first overseas trip since the pandemic: what's at stake? Plus: the EU's energy crisis plan, a flick through today's papers and a special interview with the CEO of the British Fashion Council.
Elizabeth Peyton-Jones is a health and lifestyle author, fashion industry campaigner, master herbalist, practitioner, naturopath, advisor and the founder & CEO of Models Trust, an independent organization providing reports for brands and agencies to make the talent's workplace safer. Listen to Dr. Allie in conversation with Elizabeth as they speak about why she created Models Trust, her perspective as a healer and practitioner, and how she is trying to bring safety to the workplace for models. Elizabeth, through Models Trust, champions safety, sustainability, diversity, equality and inclusion for all fashion industry talent, through anonymous feedback surveys. She has always been passionate about changing people's perceptions of what good health really looks like, so when in 2016, she was invited by the British Fashion Council to create a diet for models, she jumped at the chance. Unable to understand why they would need more information than was already out there, she set about exploring how to make a difference to their diets and health. Following a year of research, Elizabeth discovered that models faced a range of workplace risks, that not only endangered their physical health but their emotional and financial wellbeing as well and diet was a red herring to what was enabling this condition to exist. More recently, Models Trust has campaigned to keep modern slavery and human trafficking out of modeling, which has led to Elizabeth talking about her vision to the United Nations General Assembly, to the US Council at the White House, and the World Economic Forum in Davos.

Join Aalia and Elizabeth Peyton-Jones, CEO and Founder of Models Trust, as they address making the modeling industry safer and more sustainable. Elizabeth touches on how to elevate workplace environments for working models. And the wide range of workplace risks that endanger not only their physical health but their emotional and financial wellbeing, circling back to their diets which enable these same conditions. While living abroad in Hong Kong and Russia, Elizabeth was introduced to holistic medicine and began her journey to becoming a master herbalist. For over two decades, Elizabeth has been a naturopath, herbalist, and therapist starting her career with private clients in a London Clinic, which grew into a global company called EPJHealth. Her passion for changing people's perceptions of what good health really looks like, excelled in 2016, as the British Fashion Council invited Elizabeth to create a diet for models. Initially puzzled, she researched for a year. Speaking with models, casting directors, and photographers abroad, noting the problem of the industry's obsession with the size zero and the consequences of enacting these restrictive conditions at such a young and impressionable age. In the face of complacency, Elizabeth set up Models Trust. In 2017 Models Trust ran its first model workshop with Europe's leading model agency, Models 1, and a year later, a one-week induction program for new models in collaboration with the London College of Fashion. Models Trust also planned and executed the very first industry-wide conference on modeling, bringing models, model agencies, brands, photographers, casting directors, agents, and publishers, to talk about standards needed in the industry. Models Trust was the first to champion elevating workplace practices and norms for models through industry-wide standards. It signed up models, model agencies, and fashion brands to The Pledge and later was invited by James Scully to inform LVMH and Kering on their own set of standards, We Care for Models. More recently, Models Trust has campaigned to keep modern slavery and human trafficking out of modeling, which has led to Elizabeth talking about her vision to the United Nations General Assembly. Concerned about the slow progress of improvement, in March 2020 Models Trust launched Brighter Future: a year-long, industry-wide consultation aimed at identifying the most effective solutions for making modeling safer and more sustainable. From the results of Brighter Future, Models Trust developed an anonymous feedback survey, allowing models an anonymous voice to speak up while allowing agencies to demonstrate good representation, rewarding high-performing agencies by awarding them the prestigious Models Trust Certification Mark. Elizabeth continues to work tirelessly with the fashion industry to change the perception of what it is to be a working model.

'For me, the starting point of designing is an existing clothing piece,' Artist / Designer / Upcycler Duran Lantink tells Writer / Editor / Broadcaster Lara Johnson-Wheeler. 'It's really important to upcyle luxury brands,' he continues. Based in Amsterdam, Duran Lantink aims to produce collections that are sustainable, ethical and innovative. His work shot to the fore of the cultural conversation with a pair of pink 'Pussy Power' pants for Janelle Monáe's PYNK music video in 2018. Dubbed 'instantly iconic' by Dazed, the design was one Duran thought he'd never see again. He has since managed to shake the spectre of the design, working with diverse communities such as the homeless community in Amsterdam and transgender sex workers in Cape Town. Duran also won a special award in 2019 at the International Fashion Showcase as selected by the British Fashion Council and the British Council and was shortlisted for the prestigious LVMH Prize. Duran and Lara chat about his commitment to upcycling in spite of teachers attempting to dissuade him and working to create celebrity commissions for the likes of Billie Eilish and more.

We first interviewed today’s guest at a GRACE Talks event in London a year ago. Little did we know what 2020 had instore for us. The next time we spoke, the world would look very different. At the time American in London Kenya Hunt had just left ELLE UK where she was deputy editor to move to GRAZIA UK as the fashion director. This month has been an incredibly big one for Kenya, she has been promoted to deputy editor and she has also just published her first book – Girl: Essays on Black Womanhood, a collection of original essays on what it means to be black, a woman, a mother and a global citizen in today's ever-changing world. Kenya looks at how black women have never been more visible or more publicly celebrated. But for every new milestone, every magazine cover, every box office record smashed, the reality of everyday life remains a complex experience. Now, there’s more. And yes, as you can tell Kenya is incredibly dynamic, ambitious and passionate about making a difference in this world. Kenya is also the founder of R.O.O.M. Mentoring, which advocates for greater diversity within the fashion industry by providing a supportive network for some of the many talented aspiring designers, journalists and image-makers of colour London has to offer. She also sits on the British Fashion Council’s Diversity & Inclusion Committee and is a mother of two. We recorded this interview a few months ago and I can’t tell you how excited I am to share it with you. As always, we talk about it all today. Childhood, career, motherhood and more. Her book launches this month so add it to your holiday reading list.

The fashion industry has frequently been perceived as fickle and shallow which has, over the years, left many questioning just how faith and fashion can go hand-in-hand? Here at Magnify, we're passionate about expressing ourselves through creativity and in particular fashion so we wanted to have this important conversation. In this episode, we spoke to Simon Ward, now retired Chief Operating Officer of the British Fashion Council who has been one of the most supportive people of Magnify since we launched our first print edition.
