À l'Institut français de la mode (IFM), à Paris, 27 étudiants de 13 nationalités différentes présentent leurs extravagants travaux de l'année. L'enjeu est crucial : l'école rivalise avec le prestigieux Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design, à Londres. Paris doit attirer de nouveaux talents internationaux, même si les Français brillent déjà par leur créativité, tels Weinsanto, Pressiat ou encore AlainPaul. Comme le résume Rachida Dati, ministre de la Culture, prenant des libertés avec la logique : "La mode, c'est 100% économie, 100% culture !"
It all started with a chopping board.In 2003 twin brothers and designer-makers, Antony & Richard Joseph designed their first product – a clever chopping board – and that was the beginning of Joseph Joseph. With a passion for invention and an emphasis on functionality and quality, they set out to revolutionise everyday tasks in the home, making everything from food prep to laundry easier and more efficient.Proud to be celebrating 20 years of innovation, the brothers grew up in a family with a long history in design and manufacturing. Originally set up by their grandfather in the 1930s, the family business specialised in producing glass components. The brothers spent part of their summers working in the factory in Birmingham. Antony is a Creative Director and studied Design at Central Saint Martins College. Richard is CEO and studied Industrial Design at Loughborough, followed by a master's in Design Manufacturing at the University of Cambridge, which led to his first role as a product designer at Dyson. As a sideline to their jobs, and with the support of their father, they utilised the capabilities of the factory in Birmingham to develop their own range of contemporary glass chopping boards. What started as a fun project soon became the seed of a new business idea. Soon more innovative kitchenware designs joined the range, and Joseph Joseph collections now include award-winning laundry & storage, bins & recycling solutions, and cleaning & organisation categories. With an international presence and major retail partners including Selfridges, Harrods and John Lewis, Joseph Joseph's iconic products are designed in London and built to last.Their distinctive, problem-solving approach and ability to blend innovative design with aspirational modern living is unique within the industry. Now one of the fastest-growing companies in the global housewares market, Joseph Joseph continues to earn accolades and awards for its brilliantly useful designs.Find out more about Richard Joseph via: LinkedIn.Find out more about Joseph Joseph via: their website, Instagram and TikTok.A new episode EVERY WEEK, showcasing the journeys of inspirational entrepreneurs, side hustlers and their mentors.

Fashion stylist, editor, and entrepreneur Clare Richardson is a champion of environmentally conscious fashion. Previously the Fashion Director at Holiday Magazine, Clare is a contributing fashion editor at British Vogue, and her work has been featured in M le Monde, Vogue Paris, Vogue Italia, and many more. In 2020, she launched a highly curated resale platform Reluxe Fashion, which promotes fashion sustainability and circularity. In this episode, Clare chats with Christopher Michael about her journey: from a shy young teen and Central Saint Martins College to fashion editorials, working with legacy brands—such as Hermes, Balenciaga, and Calvin Klein, and advocating for slow fashion practices. She highlights her concerns about fashion greenwashing and how it affects modern consumers' choices. With Reluxe, she's aiming to create the antithesis of fast fashion, build an informed community around sustainable fashion, and underscore that all small steps matter in making a difference. What's contemporary now? "Expressing yourself truthfully." Episode Highlights: Escapism and inspiration: Clare grew up as a shy and nerdy girl, but once she discovered fashion magazines, she found a sense of escapism, inspiration, and a whole new world where she could express herself. Central Saint Martins College: Total freedom can be overwhelming, so you have to throw yourself into it and manage your time correctly, and In the end, it makes you stronger. Follow your gut: decide which avenue to go down in your fashion career. A passion for styling: Clare discovered her love for styling through trial and error; it came naturally to her. She felt inspired by the teams she worked with and loved the research. Married to fashion: Clare is married to a fashion photographer, so she needs to set boundaries and prioritize getaways to find a balance between the fashion world and her world. Sustainability and fashion: Clare constantly educates herself on climate change, how the fashion industry contributes to it, and how her values align—or do not align—with what the industry is doing. Reluxe Fashion: Clare's daughter influenced her decision to start and develop the brand. She details Reluxe Fashion's impact on the world and how she wants to shift how people think about fashion. Resale vs. circular fashion: What is the difference between resale and circular fashion, and why is greenwashing affecting consumer choices? Boosting fashion sustainability: Money talks! As a consumer, ask yourself, "Where do you spend your money? Do you need it? Does it need to be new? What brands are you supporting? What are their values?" Collaborations: They play a significant role in fashion because they inspire, engage, and excite customers. They create a broader reach for brands and products. Roles: Clare spotlights the differences between her role as a fashion stylist and her role as a curator for Reluxe. Clare's advice: Environmentally conscious fashion stylists and editors should be true to themselves. "If you believe in it and it matters to you, make it part of your job. Find a tribe of people that inspires you."
On this episode of the Lead With Purpose podcast host, Tze Ching Yeung talks to Sabinna Rachimova, founder of her own sustainable fashion brand, Sabinna to talk about her career and what drives her. KEY TAKEAWAYS I don't have a family background in fashion or the creative industry. I learned traditional Tartar handcraft from my grandmother who was a teacher but was very into making, because back in the USSR you didn't have the money to buy anything so you had to teach yourself those skills. This is how I got into fashion and why I wanted to work in the industry. I didn't know anyone in the industry, so I had to start from scratch building my network, understanding how it worked, getting support and backing from people. It's always been about handcraft for me: I wanted to be a designer, creating beautiful things, selling my products. I always knew I wanted to start my own business. I went out there and saw how other people did things, how corporations worked, how luxury worked, how fast fashion worked. You have to walk the walk to talk the talk, especially without the background or contact in the industry. Being an immigrant child probably helped because that's exactly what you're doing for your entire childhood when you move a lot with your family. I saw how the entire fashion industry worked and was able to apply that to my own business in terms of what I can change. I'm actually quite an introverted person. As a child I never wanted to talk because most of my childhood I had to cope with language barriers and I would not always be very confident in speaking the language of where I was living at that time. I was desperate because I had something to say and if I didn't up my game and advocate for myself nothing would happen. Every year that you work in the industry you have higher exposure, bigger network, and with that comes responsibility. It's not only that you should be using it for yourself but what can you actually do to create more spaces for marginalised groups or your own communities. How can you make sure people from different backgrounds are heard? BEST MOMENTS‘I have a naive approach towards the industry, but not in a negative sense, more that I only saw the magical lens of the beauty of creating something, connecting your emotions, your story, the heritage of your family that has been passed on.'‘Sustainability is rooted in my thoughts since I always had that huge focus on the maker, it just never crossed my mind that for other professionals this wasn't the case.'‘In the first three years of the business there was a lot of trial and error and a journey of finding myself, my voice and the confidence to actually communicate properly what we need in terms of change in our industry.'‘People created space for me which is why I'm so big on mentoring programmes, passing on my knowledge and expertise, and supporting the next generation where I can. People like me profited a lot from all these approaches.' ABOUT THE GUESTSabinna Rachimova is an opinion leader for the future generation of creatives. After graduating from Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design, she worked for the leading fashion house Christian Dior and contemporary London brand Mary Katrantzou. As a child, she learned traditional soviet handcraft from her grandmother, developing a deeply ingrained appreciation for the craft. This early influence was a key inspiration for her namesake brand. As a double immigrant (born in Central Asia, raised in Europe, and now based in London) Sabinna is incredibly passionate about inclusivity and equal opportunities.In addition to her work as an acclaimed designer, Sabinna is a public speaker, spreading the word about both fashion tech and sustainable fashion, as well as a consultant with a focus on fashion start-ups and education across Europe and the UK. Since 2018, she has lectured at the University of Arts London, teaching on the MA Fashion Entrepreneurship & Innovation course, focusing on sustainable business concepts to encourage her students to disrupt the industry. In 2019, Sabinna was named one of Forbes 30 under 30 DACH for her achievements as an entrepreneur in the sustainable fashion industry.Website: https://www.sabinna.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sabinna-rachimova/ Instagram: @sabinna_rachimova ABOUT THE HOSTTze Ching started her entrepreneurial journey back in 2007 with the launch of a sustainable clothing and home furnishing ecommerce business. Next, she created a sustainable fashion brand.In 2019, she launched a social enterprise to help raise awareness about the negative impact of fashion at schools and colleges. Through the 15-year journey, she learned so much, but easily the most meaningful lesson learned was about the importance of marketing. She now focuses on channelling those insights to help others succeed, through We Disrupt Agency, a business coaching, mentoring and digital marketing company. Tze Ching's mission is to create a community of global change makers and to contribute to positive change in both people and planet.

Liminal Gallery Podcast host, Louise Fitzjohn, speaks with contemporary artist Alexis Soul-Gray, who has a solo exhibition 'Dancing in the Dark' in our Margate-based Gallery. Alexis Soul-Gray (b.1980), lives and works in Devon and is currently studying MA Painting at The Royal College of Art. She is an alumni of The Royal Drawing School having completed the Postgraduate Drawing Year between 2006-7. Her undergraduate degree is in Drawing from Camberwell College of Art, graduating in 2003 after completing a foundation course at Central Saint Martins College of Art. Soul-Gray has held lecturing positions in universities, worked as an independent curator and is a 2021 & 2022 recipient of The Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation Grant for Painting. She has recently been artist in residence at Exeter Phoenix Gallery and Artist House Kadenowka, Poland. In 2022 she had her first solo show in a publicly funded gallery and her first international solo exhibition in Stockholm, Sweden. ‘Dancing in the Dark' features a new haunting body of paintings by the Devon-based artist, focused on a children's party, devoid of parents, the children take on the burden of life amongst celebration, in all its beauty and sorrow. The figures Soul-Gray creates dissolve into dreamlike abstraction, overrun with vivid colour and this instability of surface blurs distinctions between figure, feeling, fantasy and reality. Dancing between representation and emotive intuitive mark making, the artist invests her work with a transcendental, almost ethereal quality by allowing the forms within her paintings to float, morph and collapse in on themselves, exploring the evolving exchange between the bodies we occupy, the world we inhabit and the individual experiences we live. Soul-Gray's experimental and highly energetic compositions refute normative modes of existence, challenging constructed notions of balance and harmony. Using the body to dance in defiance as well as an anchor to express psychological states, the work in the exhibition captures the sensation of fragmented memories and unconscious fears slowly emerging from the psyche. Her paintings touch on history, memory and the passing of time, particularly surrounding loss and grief. While works on vintage knitting patterns and vintage ephemera are covered with oil paint acting as a protective shield, sheltering or covering up forms - a metaphor for the recesses of the imagination where vulnerability and fear are shrouded.

“La pensée corps“ Alexandra Bircken & Lutz Huelleà la Fondation Pernod Ricard, Parisdu 15 novembre 2022 au 28 janvier 2023Interview de Claire Le Restif, commissaire de l'exposition, par Anne-Frédérique Fer, à Paris, le 14 novembre 2022, durée 13'09.© FranceFineArt.https://francefineart.com/2022/11/18/3350_la-pensee-corps_fondation-pernod-ricard/Curatrice de l'exposition : Claire Le RestifAvec Alexandra Bircken & Lutz Huelle et la contribution de Wolfgang TillmansL'exposition La pensée corps met en relation le travail d'Alexandra Bircken et de Lutz Huelle, tous deux liés aux questions d'identité, d'intimité, de perméabilité et de vulnérabilité de l'être humain. Ce qui les lie, c'est un style aux formes tour à tour fracturées et assemblées, découpées et suturées, et une longue histoire d'amitié.Cette exposition n'a pas pour enjeu les relations entre l'art et la mode, même si elles apparaissent naturellement. L'accent est mis sur les mécanismes, les gestes, la pensée du corps contemporain et l'expérience que nous en avons en tant qu'être humain. Tous deux sectionnent, fractionnent des objets et des vêtements comme autant de modèles ajustables à de nouvelles manières de vivre, de sentir et de se représenter.Cette relation essentielle au corps et aux matériaux s'est affirmée pour Bircken et Huelle lors de leurs études au Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design de Londres dans les années 1990. Là, il et elle ont pu projeter leurs idées sur le corps-support. Pendant leur période d'apprentissage dans cette école prestigieuse, des individualités comme John Galliano, Alexander McQueen ou Hussein Chalayan étaient régulièrement invitées à intervenir. Cette période les a amené·es à définir leur identité propre en se ré-inventant comme on désire le faire à 20 ans. C'est aussi leur goût pour la musique, Culture Club et Boy George entre autres personnalités queer, qui les a incité·es à choisir Londres.Amis depuis l'adolescence, ils ont très tôt formé une famille élective avec un troisième complice, le photographe allemand Wolfgang Tillmans, auteur de portraits cultes de Bircken et Huelle. Témoin objectif de toute une génération, il a bousculé avec vigueur les a priori, contribuant à l'émergence d'une certaine vérité sur la jeunesse, depuis le milieu des années 1990 jusqu'à aujourd'hui. Tous les trois traduisent leur époque, politiquement et sociologiquement et bousculent les archétypes. Pour La pensée corps, Wolfgang Tillmans expose un chapitre qu'il a réalisé pour la revue Pop Magazine (2019-2020) dédié à Lutz Huelle. Cet élément est très précieux car il permet d'approcher foule de détails sur le travail de Huelle, tout en étant un témoin de la relation du trio à travers les années.Alexandra Bircken a d'abord créé sa propre marque Faridi, à une époque où Martin Margiela et Comme des Garçons déconstruisaient le vêtement. C'est en cousant, en tricotant, en fabriquant des objets non fonctionnels, pour elle-même, qu'elle a progressivement rejoint le territoire de l'art. Jörn Bötnagel et Yvonne Quirmbach, fondateur·rices de la galerie BQ à Cologne, aujourd'hui basée à Berlin, observaient assidûment leur voisine installée dans un atelier mitoyen de la galerie. Attentif·ves à cette liberté avec laquelle l'artiste autodidacte explorait précisément les possibles, iels lui proposent sa première exposition à la galerie en 2004.[...] Hébergé par Acast.

Often, when societies want to reduce crime, the idea of more severe punishments comes up. But as lawyers have learnt in criminology classes, that is certainly not the way to go. There are more and more studies showing that more severe punishments not only do not prevent crime but may actually have the opposite effect. In this episode we talk about how to fight crime by design and hear from experts Lorraine Gamman, Adam Thorpe and Marcus Willcocks who work at the Design Against Crime Research Center in the UK. The mission of Design Against Crime Research Center is to disrupt crime by bringing together government, businesses, local communities, prisoners and returning citizens to generate strong socially responsive, co-created crime prevention strategies and crime diversion projects. Lorraine, Adam and Marcus tell about their projects and we hear what ethical aspects using design against crime have. We discuss about how crime-doers and prisoners differ as targeted end-users or participants in a design process and how design can empower prisoners to change the path of their lives. In addition, our host Henna, inspired by her own neighborhood in Helsinki, asks questions how to approach solving local crime issues using design. This, dear listeners, is also a huge milestone for Legal Design Podcast as this marks our 50th episode! Thank you for your kind words and support and thank you for listening. Many more to come! Dr. Lorraine Gamman is Professor of Design at Central Saint Martins and Director of UAL's award-winning Design Against Crime Research Centre (DACRC), which she founded in 1999.

He is Co Director of the Design Against Crime Research Centre and Coordinator of the UAL DESIS Lab (Design for Social Innovation and Sustainability). Marcus Willcocks leads the Public Space strand of the award-winning Design Against Crime Research Centre (DACRC), at the University of the Arts London.

A Different Tweed: Fashion Conversations with Bronwyn Cosgrave
The London-based women's wear designer, Mary Katrantzou, discusses her recent collaboration with the Italian luxury brand Bulgari. She explains how her work with Bulgari began by pairing Bulgari high jewelry with her Spring/Summer 2020 collection which she presented in October 2019 at the Temple of Poseidon. Mary references this grand scale fashion presentation throughout the conversation. Staging it amidst the awe-inspiring backdrop of the ancient Athens landmark, she celebrated the heritage, history and culture of her homeland, Greece, and also the 30th anniversary of the Association of Friends of Children with Cancer. Mary explains venturing to Bulgari's legendary archive in Rome before setting to work on three handbags for a capsule line known as “Serpenti Through The Eyes of Mary Katrantzou.” Mary recalls designing a bottle and the formula for her first perfume with Bulgari. Entitled Bulgari Omnia by Mary Katrantzou, she delves into working on the scent with Alberto Marias. This award-winning Spanish master perfumer has created iconic perfumes like Le Must de Cartier, Giorgio Armani's Aqua di Gio, as well as Calvin Klein's groundbreaking gender fluid perfume CK One. Mary shares the challenges and rewards of working on this game-changing collaboration during lockdown. She also looks back on her upbringing in Athens, her education at the Rhode Island School of Design and London's Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design. She considers the all-important relationship which she forged with American Vogue's renowned fashion critic, Sarah Mower.

In her 15 years long DJ-route Miia Magia has been travelling from Britpop and Nu Disco to Deep House and Techno. DJing, organizing parties and earning residencies at the legendary Helsinki clubs such as Semifinal, DTM and mbar made her a diverse and open minded DJ. Alongside her own club nights she's been invited to play for all the main cities in Finland and also to Tallinn, Valencia and Madrid. On her way she's been privileged to support her Finnish favourites to name a few; Roberto Rodriguez and Milla Lehto. Living and breathing the Stockholm scene between 2015 to 2019 made her dive even more into her own sound, best to be described as deep and moody to sharp and groovy. While playing at the underground raves and clubs she was rewarded to support her favourite artists such as Axel Boman, Benjamin Mull, Cari Lekebusch, Damien Eie and DJ Hell. Moving back to her roots to Helsinki for the new decade she's been focusing to produce music and run her own club & podcast concept Motto. Miia is not only a musician she is also a make up artist. When Miia turned her multitalented hands to make-up her approach was simple: It should follow minimal principles to let female inner beauty radiate from underneath the skin. One of her most important values is to follow and promote clean and ecological skin care and make up products. Like her unique approach to jewellery designs and DJ-ing, Miia's make-up career stems from her time as a successful teenage gymnast. Practice makes perfect and her years of practice will make your face look as perfect as you want it to be. She has worked with The Finnish National Rhythmic Gymnastic Junior Team, Dancer Nikeata Thompson, Pin Up Helsinki® and musicians such as John Blackwell and Cassandra O'Neal (best known as the drummer and the keyboard player of Prince), Sin Cos Tan, Ismo Alanko and Benjamin Ingrosso. In the year 2012 she was also competing in the Finnish Team at Wella International Trend Vision Award Show in Madrid. As a fashion designer, Miia's striving for perfection is at the heart of her design philosophy. Her jewellery collections flicker with the strength, flexibility, balance and style that made her a successful teenage gymnast and talented dressmaker. In the early 2000's after her graduation as a dressmaker, she got a call to visit Central Saint Martins (College of Arts and Design) in London. During her visit she was a seamstress at the Fashion Design students final thesis. This experience was very significant and made a great impact on her future ventures. After ten years she created her own Scandinavian design label Miia Magia Design. Since that she has approached jewellery design as a work of art, which is why each individual piece is the very definition of unyielding excellence. Whether you like surgical steel, chandelier crystals, zippers or hardware materials, Miia's hand made collections have something to compliment your look. All the materials are carefully selected to promise a quality of long lasting slow fashion. Learn more on today's episode of Dreams Not Memes Podcast.

Die Wiener Modedesignerin mit russischen Wurzeln lebt seit dem 19. Lebensjahr in ihrer Wahlheimat London, wo sie das Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design absolviert hat und heute ihr Modelabel SABINNA betreibt. In ihren Kreationen verbindet sie Tradition und Innovation. Sabinnas Markenzeichen sind feminine Kleider und Strickteile mit gehäkelten Blüten. Im Podcast mit carpe diem-Host Holger Potye verrät sie, wie man Momente der Schwäche in Momente der Stärke verwandeln kann und warum Niederlagen uns auch immer wieder neue Perspektiven eröffnen (dank der Ablehnung an der Hochschule für Angewandte Kunst in Wien wagte sie den Blick über den Tellerrand und ließ sich auf das Abenteuer London ein). Für Sabinna sind „Beruf und Berufung“ zwar eine fabelhafte Kombination, aber sie hat auch ihre Schattenseiten. Denn wenn man genau weiß, was man will, geht das auf Kosten der Flexibilität, und man beginnt, andere Möglichkeiten zu übersehen. Die quirlige Modedesignerin, die sich selbst als „oft zu ehrgeizig“ beschreibt, hat ihren Fokus auf nachhaltige Produktion gerichtet und plaudert im Podcast über die Herausforderungen, die Nachhaltigkeit im Fashion-Bereich mit sich bringt. Es wird über Upcycling, Greenwashing, hohe Transparenz bei der Produktion und die Problematik der „Fast Fashion“ diskutiert. Und Sabinna versucht die Frage „Wann ist Kleidung nachhaltig?“ so ausführlich wie nur möglich zu beantworten. Reicht es, auf die Materialien zu schauen? Oder muss ich die Herstellung mit in die Gleichung aufnehmen? Weiters sammeln wir Inspirationen für nachhaltiges Fashion-Shopping, und Sabinna gibt Tipps für angehende Jungdesignerinnen und -designer (vom Businessplan bis zum Sich-selbst-Finden) im Podcast. Ihre täglichen Rituale sind, einmal pro Tag kurz meditieren und der tägliche Anruf bei ihrer Familie. Hinweis: Im Abspann bekommt Sabinna den letzten Glückskeks von Podcast-Host Holger überreicht – denn er führt im neuen Jahr ein neues Gimmick ein: Statt Glückskeksen gibt es 2021 als Belohnung Buchtipps von seinen Gästen für alle Hörer, die bis ganz zum Schluss dranbleiben.In diesem Sinne: Viel Spaß bei diesem Podcast!

The first thing you notice when you meet Arthur Arbesser, besides his head of floppy hair and big round glasses, is his upbeat attitude. He radiates nothing but positivity and you get the impression that he always has a sunny side view on the world. It’s a perception that is further supported by the fashion he creates – which is colorful, often with graphic motifs, and rich with artistic references that span many different fields, from architecture and painting to sculpture and ballet. His sartorial style is eclectic and original and it perfectly dovetails with his own creative history as a designer born and raised in Vienna, Austria, to go on to study at the prestigious Central Saint Martins College in London, and for many years now calling Milan his home. Arthur’s talent was right off the bat. Shortly after graduating from college, he was hired by Giorgio Armani and worked alongside the famed Italian designer for 7 years before deciding to launch his own signature brand in January 2013. That same year he was a winner of the “Who Is On Next?” competition in Italy, which is designed to highlight talented young designers. From this, Arthur’s work began to generate positive reviews by the likes of Suzy Menkes, and in 2015 he became an LVMH Prize finalist. Today, Arthur is balancing two creative hats on his head; not only does he design for his own brand but since September 2017, he has held the position of creative director of the esteemed Italian brand, Fay. In fact, we met up in the headquarters of Fay in Milan to do this podcast interview just as he was preparing for his next presentation for the house. It was there that he opened up about just how deeply architecture and design influence his old world approach to fashion and how not being an Italian designer helped make his mark in Milan, as well as what it takes to simultaneously design for two fashion houses. After our chat, what I took away from our conversation was that as much as Arthur is an upbeat fun loving person, he takes his work and his love of fashion very very seriously.

We greatly admire New York-based fashion designer, Mara Hoffman. Her designs and principles stand out in a sea of homogeneity and “buy more” culture. The former dancer studied at Parsons School of Design in New York and London’s Central Saint Martins College. She was “discovered” by Sex and the City stylist, Patricia Field, who sold Mara’s samples in her shop. We sat down with Mara in her 6th Avenue studio to talk getting comfortable with change by facing our mortality, not being too attached to the identities we create for ourselves, and how we have to work for our happiness. We discovered why she’s not actually that passionate about the fashion industry because “it can make people feel kind of lousy...it's completely warped our sense of consuming, in that we ‘need’ all this stuff that we don't need.” Ultimately, Mara’s message is to “let it go to let it grow...Imagine holding a seed in a clenched fist...It's really hard to let things go but that's where the growth is; it's on that other side.”

079 - Rhiannon Adam Rhiannon Adam was born in County Cork, Ireland and currently lives and works in London. She was educated at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design in London, and at the University of Cambridge, where she read English. Her work is heavily influenced by her peripatetic childhood spent at sea, sailing around the world with her parents. Something she talks about during our chat. Virtually no photographic evidence of this period in her life exists and that fact ignited an interest in the influence of photography on recall, the notion of the photograph as a physical object, and the image as an intersection between fact and fiction – themes that continue throughout her work. Her long-term projects straddle the boundary between art photography and social documentary, while subject matter is often focused on narratives relating to myth, loneliness, and the passage of time, particularly in relation to isolated communities. The results of these explorations are captured almost exclusively in ambient light through the hazy abstraction of degrading instant-film materials and colour negative film. In 2015, supported by the BBC and the Royal Geographical Society, Rhiannon travelled to the remote island community of Pitcairn in the South Pacific. Pitcairn measures just two miles by one mile and is home to just 42 British subjects, descendants from the Mutiny on the Bounty. A decade ago, the island’s romantic image was tarnished by a string of high profile sexual abuse trials and, as a result, islanders are particularly reticent about accepting outsiders. With the duration of her trip dictated by the quarterly supply vessel, there would be no way off for three arduous months. Adam’s project is the first in-depth photographic project to take place on the island and is currently being exhibited at the Francesca Maffeo Gallery, in Leigh on sea, here in the U.K. until June 9th this year. In episode 079, Rhiannon discusses, among other things: Why it's taken 3 years to bring the work to fruition Her unusual childhood at sea and why there are no pictures of that time. The genesis of the project in a batch stockpiled, expired polaroid film. Winning an award + Kickstarter to fund it. The hostility she faced from the start Daily life on Pitcairn Her unwelcom bedroom visitor The emotional upheaval of finally leaving The ring that is here momento of the trip Rhiannon's book 'Polaroid: The Missing Manual'. The radio programme Rhiannon made for the BBC's Journey Of A Lifetime. Website | Twitter | Facebook | Instagram “I think that having an individual personality and your own individual freedoms is just not something to be taken lightly. That’s been my big takeaway from Pitcairn. It’s just, everything else is going to be easy from here on in because, you know, it’s not there!” THIS EPISODE OF THE PODCAST IS SPONSORED BY THE CHARCOAL BOOK CLUB - THE LATEST AND GREATEST PHOTOBOOKS, EXPERTLY CURATED AND DELIVERED TO YOU DOOR WITH FREE SHIPPING AND NO HASSLES. **VERY SPECIAL LISTENER OFFER** USE CODE 'ASMALLVOICE' TO CLAIM A FREE BOOK OF YOUR CHOICE WHEN YOU JOIN!!

Kirsty Young's castaway this week is the fashion designer Stella McCartney.Born the middle child of Paul and Linda McCartney, Stella's early years were a paradox: she would either spend her days riding ponies, sharing one of two bedrooms with her sisters in a farmhouse, and generally mucking around in the countryside - or touring the world with her parents' band Wings and spending time in the company of stars such as David Bowie and Iggy Pop.Amid the tours and travelling, she believes her parents offered her a vital childhood gift: normality. Stella attended the local school and went on to win a place at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design to study fashion design. Two years after a graduation show that made the headlines because the clothes were modelled by Stella's friends Kate Moss, Yasmin Le Bon and Naomi Campbell, she landed the job of Creative Director at the French fashion house Chloé. During her four years there, she transformed its fortunes. In 2001, she set up her own label in a joint venture with Gucci. Throughout her career, she has never used leather, fur, feathers or animal skins. She now operates 51 freestanding stores in locations including Manhattan, Mayfair, and Milan, and her collections are distributed through shops in over 70 countries. Her signature style is described as combining sharp tailoring - learned in Savile Row where she would spend her evenings whilst at Saint Martins - with a sexy femininity. She has also designed all the outfits for Team GB for the past two Olympics. She has four children with her husband, Alasdhair Willis. Stella has won numerous awards including the British Fashion Council's Designer of the Year and Brand of the Year as well as Designer of the Year and Brand of the Year at the British Fashion Awards. She received an OBE in 2013. Producer: Sarah Taylor.

POOLcast 016 - Hepamine For POOLcast 016 we have another brand new face. Back from the east coast of the United States we made a stop in London, where we found Hepamine. Student of fine arts at the Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design. Whether painting, making music, discovering sound and video - Hepa is exploring the intersections of the arts caused by modern technologies. Technologies invented decades ago make it possible to expand the range of tools. These technologies were discovered and used by artists, through synthesizers, tapes for audio and video, 3D graphics and programming. In the last generations these gadgets were further developed and the access became easier. We spend years to figure out what is possible and how to do it. Always struggling with the curse of technologies, a missing link that divide our vision from the result. But today all that technologies are so advanced and deeply integrated in our lives, that it’s possible to anyone to make art with it. That what hold us back and stood between our vision and the result begins to disappear. All we need is a boundless mind. We all can benefit from these times. Technologies can make any thought visible, audible and make it come alive. Nowadays it is possible to create and experience art at the same time. In that way Hepamine approached this POOLcast episode. A live recording in which the composition became an instrument in itself. Driven by the moment, inspired and experienced while making. Pass mental boundaries, enjoy and make art. https://soundcloud.com/poolcast-971084057/poolcast-016-hepamine https://www.mixcloud.com/ThePoolcasts/poolcast-016-hepamine/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hepamine https://soundcloud.com/user-470540033 Credit for the painting goes also to Hepamine. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The POOL Berlin - POOLcast http://thepoolberlin.de https://facebook.com/poolcastberlin/ https://poolcast.bandcamp.com/ https://soundcloud.com/thepoolberlin/ https://mixcloud.com/ThePoolcasts/

On Start the Week Tom Sutcliffe looks at how science has shaped our civilisation. Mark Miodownik explores how the discovery of new materials has transformed the way we live, from the Stone Age to the Silicon Age. While the mathematician Ian Stewart argues that calculations made centuries ago have led to untold innovations, and that mathematical equations really have changed our world. The natural world is the starting point for the sculptor, Peter Randall-Page and his abstract geometric form carved in stone. And Jane Rapley from Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design considers how far fashion designers are influenced by modern materials and techniques, and inspired by the natural world. Producer: Katy Hickman.

Together with Phil Baines she co-authored the book ‘Signs: Lettering in the Environment’. The interview begins with a discussion regarding space. She explains how creating space is one of her rituals which also comes across in her teaching. Catherine talks about Phil Baines, and how the book type walks came about. Finally Catherine reveals the typeface she would like to be remembered, slightly eccentric and a bit wilder than the letters we’re used to nowadays.
