TASTEMAKER AND HOTELIER. Jasper Conran is a British designer who studied at Parsons School of Art and Design in New York. He has worked on collections of womenswear and for the home, as well as productions for the stage in ballet, opera and theatre. He opened his first hotel in Morocco, L'Hôtel Marrakech, recently followed by Villa Mabrouka in Tangier. "I have a store of ideas in my head, and this ability to switch from one thing to another." "Theatre and ballet let me go crazy." "I went to see the Saint Laurent house and bought it immediately. I could see what it could be as a hotel."

This was one of the most controversial books of the eighties. Listen to this episode to know why. Please drop a rating if you like what you hear. Talk to me on: Instagram : @thegreedyreader YouTube: The Greedy Reader Website: www.thegreedyreader.com

Jasper Conran is one of the most celebrated and renowned British designers of our time. To name just a few career highlights… he designed the wedding dress for Lady Sarah Elizabeth Chatto, the granddaughter of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother, clothing for Princess Diana; he created numerous sets and costumes for ballets and operas, and has designed everything from home decor to accessories and luggage. Later in his career, he turned his attention to Morocco - the subject of this episode - where he designed two historic hotels: first, L'Hotel Marrakech and, most recently, Villa Mabrouka in Tangier which just opened in June this year. In this episode, Jasper shares his storied and serendipitous career path with Melisssa; from realizing his childhood dream, receiving an unexpected Olivier Award in theater, to now finding himself immersed in the world of hospitality. Through poetic passion, Jasper explores how Tangier and Marrakech fuse ancient and modern culture, and how the most “marvelous thing about Marrakech is that most of the secrets are behind closed doors.” He gives a glimpse of his journey in creating the historic 19th century riad L'Hotel Marrakech in the heart of Medina, and what inspired him to later renovate the former home of Yves Saint Laurent into the award-winning Villa Mabrouka. He shares his favorite spots in Tangier including Italian writer and botanist Umberto Pasti's garden, the places he still wants to travel, and the countries that have impacted him most (for instance, Kashmir on a houseboat with flower sellers in the rain). Plus, Melissa shares her latest discoveries from a recent trip she took to Florence, as well as tips for traveling with pets over the holiday season. For more information on our 2024 Insider Journey heading to magical Tangier, explore here.For more information about Jasper Conran and to see his latest collections and designs, visit www.jasperconran.com.

Today we are very excited to have on our first duo to the podcast - the Founders (and father and son) of the incredible British Sustainable furniture brand Maker&Son. Father Alex Willcock and Son Felix Conran give us a touching and insightful look into their journey of coming together to found their brand and the process of integrating sustainability into every element of their business. We touch upon the risks of unsustainable furniture, the methods of sourcing sustainable materials, and choosing furniture to last for generations. As founders of this incredible furniture line, Alex Willcock and Felix Conran have much more in common than being father and son. A gifted musician, Alex trained as a cabinet maker and furniture designer who's curiosity led him to start his career path in Australia, where he met Felix's mother. For Felix he would always have a family entrenched in design. Being the third generation of the Conran family to work in the field, Felix has always been encouraged to shape and ground his natural intuitiveness, and is proud to carry on a tradition of pioneering products for the home. In this podcast, we talk to Alex and Felix about how they are maintaining their core tenants of sustainability whilst scaling a business that is rooted in localised production and all natural materials. We delve into the issues of unsustainable manufacturing that has come to dominate the furniture world as we know it today, and how we can all begin to ask more questions about where our furniture is made and what is in it. We hope it leaves you thinking about what a better world of what we put in to our homes could look like!

Jasper Conran is quite simply fashion royalty and a prominent member of a design dynasty that had brought good taste and understated chic to British wardrobes and lifestyles during the latter half of the 20th century to the present day. Jasper's extraordinary career in fashion began when he landed a place at the prestigious Parson's School of Design at the age of just 15.He then went on to work for a number of legendary designers before going to become one in his own right, producing a collection under his own name for the first time at the age of just 19.In the early 1980s, he was among the first group of designers to form what was to become London Fashion Week and in the 90s he became part of what was then a pioneering project to bring designer fashion and lifestyle products to the high street, Designers at Debenhams.Jasper created a hugely successful line but when the department store changed hands to becoming an online only entity during the pandemic, he seized the opportunity to take control of his brand and last year launched a range of affordable luxury handbags under his own name. This week, he has unveiled his first dress line with a range of timeless styles with considered details and quality fabrics, which have been designed to act as the “best friends” in a woman's wardrobes. Next, Jasper intends to tackle other key categories including coats.We recorded this episode of the In Conversation podcast while Lauretta Roberts, Editor in chief of TheIndustry.fashion was lucky enough to be invited for a sneak peek of the new collection at Jasper's South West London studio. Jasper talks Lauretta through his extraordinary fashion career and why he has no intention of slowing down.

Alex Willcox and Felix Conran are the father-and-son team behind the direct-to-consumer furniture brand Maker & Son. Founded in the UK in 2018, the company has grown quickly with an unorthodox approach. Its core product is a pillowy sofa that retails for over $10,000, and rather than brick-and-mortar showrooms, Maker & Son relies on a fleet of decorated vans that will visit potential customers in person. On this episode of the podcast, Willcox and Conran chat with host Dennis Scully about whether sustainability and the value of craftsmanship are finally connecting with consumers, their unique approach to marketing, and how they're using a surprisingly sophisticated tech operation to make data driven decisions in an old-school industry.This podcast is sponsored by High Point Market and Modern MatterLINKSMaker & SonDennis Scully Business of Home

For most people, Conran is a familiar name: known as Sir Terence Conran, who established the studio over 50 years ago. They slowly built up a global reputation for intuitive, insightful and timeless work in architecture, interiors, master planning as well as product design. The office sees itself as problem-solvers who are completely immersed in design, with a clear ambition to improve the way people live their lives. This results in buildings and spaces with their own sense of location, identity and character. Through their form, details and materiality they manifest distinctive personalities with charm and relevance. In today's podcast, Tina Norden gives us - Katharina Beatriz Varga and Dijane Slavic - insights into the new normal of everyday office life, her projects and inspirations.

This time, we look at a modern cult classic with our Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow film review and along the way ask, why is Angelina Jolie so prominent in the film's marketing? How influential was the “digital backlot?” And, was resurrecting Laurence Olivier a smart move? Let's dive in… Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow Cast and Crew Directed by Kerry Conran: Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow was Conran's directorial debut and remains his only credit as a director. Conran has remained relatively quiet since Sky Captain's release having only directed a commercial for Coca-Cola and a short film that premiered in 2012. Jude Law as Sky Captain/Joseph Sullivan: By 2004, Law had become an international movie star and in that year alone, he had starred in I Heart Huckabees, Alfie, Closer, The Aviator and A Series of Unfortunate Events. His casting as the titular 'Sky Captain' was seen by many as his foray into adventure films. Gwyneth Paltrow as Polly Perkins: At the time, her career had begun to wane following her Oscar win for Shakespeare in Love. Following that performance, she starred in Bounce, Shallow Hal and View From the Top. Her casting was announced at San Diego Comic Con in order to drum up interest for the film. Giovanni Ribisi as Dex: Ribisi has a knack for finding quirky yet entertaining films and he actually signed on for this film without reading a script. He was shown a teaser trailer created by Conran and one of his producers in order to nail Ribisi. Angelina Jolie as Frank Cook: Due to her commitments filming Lara Croft: Tomb Raider – The Cradle of Life, she could only be on set for three days. She helped to add credibility to the film following the casting of Law and Paltrow. Also starring: Michael Gambon as Editor Paley and Bai Ling as The Mysterious Woman The Rise of the Digital Backlot If you've watched Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow, you probably noticed the film has an odd color palate and design. This is due to Conran utilizing what became known as a “digital backlot.” Conran is a fan of cinema of the 1930's and 40's as well as animation techniques. Following his apprenticeship in a Disney animator program, he thought many of the techniques he learned could be applied to a live-action film, but upon realizing that many studios would not be willing to take a chance on a first-time director with a brand new concept of filming, he decided to make the film himself. He spent many years in the 90's working on a Macintosh computer and even produced a crude teaser trailer with homemade bluescreens. This trailer was then shown to a friend of Conran who in turn showed it to an additional friend and agreed to produce the film. This producer and Conran would spend the next ten years working together in an attempt to get their film onto the big screen. Prior to shooting with a full cast, Conran shot the film himself and then created moving storyboards in order for his actors to understand how scenes would unfold and how to move during these scenes. In an effort to save costs, Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow was shot in a total of 26 days utilizing entirely blue or green screens and incredibly minimal set design. The short production time allowed for the crew to work on the complex visual effects which mostly included overlaying the live action footage with the previously rendered animation from Conran's prior shoot without his principal actors. Conran noted he would end up working 18 – 20 hour days in order to help create the 2,000+ visual effects shots seen in the film. In addition to this new style of filming, Conran also wanted to digitally resurrect a deceased actor for the role of Dr. Totenkopf, Laurence Olivier. This was a challenge due to the fact that Olivier had been dead for 13 years at the time of filming and the fact that this had never been attempted before in a major motion picture. Conran and his team mostly used footage and audio from Oliv...

So... this happened! I had the enormous pleasure of speaking with Róisín Murphy (one of my musical and artistic heroes) about Terence Conran's classic The House Book, a guide to home interior design and decoration. But that's only the tip of the iceberg. We spoke about Róisín's love of design and architecture, a formative road trip she took as a teenager and so, so much more. This one is an absolute delight! Talk about ending the year on a high note!! Links:Róisín MurphyThe House BookChapelle Notre Dame du HautCarlo Scarpa
