Podcasts about fashion communication

Where do fashion giants stand on sustainability? In this arena of multinational brands, H&M is leading the transformation with its innovative pilots of circularity and new business models. Hendrik Heuermann, the Public Affairs Manager at H&M (Central European Region), sits down with 202030 Podcast host Max Gilgenmann in an honest and engaging talk about how the industry's major players are tackling sustainable development. In this conversation, Hendrik and Max touch on different ways that H&M is leading industry sustainability, as well as the greatest challenges. Looking at both sustainable work culture and sustainable consumption culture, what is feasible when influencing consumer change? H&M has tested product passports, rental models, innovative materials, and alternative communication strategies regarding sustainability. In the new wave of EU sustainability regulations, the two also muse on how large scale apparel corporations can meet ever-rising standards for production and communication. This reality check lends a window to the future vision of fashion at scale.

In episode 307, Kestrel welcomes Rachel Arthur, a strategist, journalist, and the Advocacy Lead for Sustainable Fashion at the United Nations Environment Programme, to the show. Rachel is the lead author of The Sustainable Fashion Communication Playbook, which was published earlier this year by the United Nations Environment Programme and the UN Climate Change Fashion Charter. “Communicators themselves, on a couple of levels, have had the ability to participate and to contribute I think is what I'm looking for here, and that is the first of all. But they themselves, by being communicators, have a skill set that is missing in the sustainability space, which is around this notion of making something desirable, creative — making people fall in love with things. That is fundamentally what fashion does, and we need to redirect it toward sustainability.” -Rachel Are you a communicator in the fashion space? Whether it's through your work or everyday life, communicating about sustainability and fashion can be challenging and complex.  This week's guest is the lead author of a new framework for fashion communicators – it's called the Sustainable Fashion Communication Playbook, and it's a deep dive into why we must all play a role in shifting the narrative.  The Playbook provides actionable steps communicators can take including: establishing a foundation with verifiable information, acknowledging that fashion is integral in building culture, and highlighting the role storytellers must play in advocating for change. We address head-on one of fashion's biggest issues today – misinformation. As the report highlights, A 2020 study by the European Commission found 53.3% of environmental claims communicated in the EU at large were vague, misleading or unfounded. And a fashion specific report by Changing Markets from 2021 finds that 60% of sustainability claims by European fashion giants are “unsubstantiated” and “misleading”. The Playbook recommends that one way communicators can break the cycle of misinformation is by leading with science. While this is absolutely necessary, I regularly hear frustrations over the lack of accessible scientific data and research available in the fashion space. We explore this tension as well. Telling stories is powerful and can influence change. Quotes & links from the conversation: “So, I don't think that there is a silver bullet here — there isn't the single answer in the playbook, but the intention is to open up this discussion and put it on the table and importantly say that marketers, communicators, anybody in that sort of job function, which basically means that they spend time communicating with consumers in some capacity, has a role that they can play here to help towards change.” -Rachel (16:58) The Sustainable Fashion Communication Playbook Report The Sustainable Fashion Communication Playbook Interactive FashMash, global community Rachel helped cofound  Rachel's LinkedIn Follow Rachel on Instagram >

With an impressive amount of experience in luxury lifestyle branding, Youssef Marquis has been one of the key players in shaping the image and narrative of some of the most iconic fashion houses, such as Givenchy and Louis Vuitton. His Paris-based agency Marquis, with a content-centric, digitally savvy vision, offers innovative services that bridge traditional branding strategies into the brave new world of social media. With a distinct strategic vision, creative flair, and strong relationships with media and influencers, Youssef is a trusted partner and a visionary leader helping his clients to navigate the ever-changing and challenging landscape to achieve their goals and elevate their image in the competitive and dynamic market. Today, designers are no longer defined by outside, third-party media; rather, they are empowered—and expected—to communicate by broadcasting directly and thoughtfully to their target audiences. Marquis crafts and determines its clients' brand messaging: honest, targeting the right audience, and with visual and verbal identities that uphold their core values. In this episode, Youssef shares his thoughts with Christopher Michael on the fashion sector's stance on sustainability, ethical practices, and technological and social challenges. To him, brands are responsible for the messages they put out in the world. What's contemporary now? “Shaping brand messages that leave no one behind." Episode Highlights: Pop culture monster: Youssef's obsession with image-making and creating awareness drew him to fashion communication. Getting specific: A general approach to communication and image can fall short in capturing what designers bring to the table in a particular era at a particular house. Bottling the magic: The importance of communicating the core values, identity, and messages that define the interplay between a house and a designer. Stepping beyond: Youssef launched his agency to broaden his perspectives and develop his rhythm beyond corporate frameworks. A voice emerges: Youssef's signature style organically evolved, and he sought expression beyond any single brand or designer—project diversity. The LVMH relationship: A 15-year journey has sparked magical campaigns, and Youssef's commitment to the brand now shapes his daily workflow. Radical clarity: For young designers pulled in multiple directions, Youssef offers a roadmap to establish that all-important identity and fearless differentiation. Critical components: Visuals. Community. 360º Comms Strategy. Creating a young designer's messaging means figuring out “Who am I, and why am I different?” Changing landscape: Youssef straddles, remembers, and leverages his experience with both the traditional media space and today's fluid social media and digital platforms. Where to focus: Given the range of options, Youssef encourages clients to commit to community and social networking platforms as a contemporary driver for messaging. Playing the channels: Young and established brands must be deliberate about who they are speaking to, in what voice, and with what emphasis. The golden ticket: A cohesive brand voice creates connections and consistency, advancing visibility and identification. Not optional: Youssef's commitment (one he sees increasingly mirrored in the fashion sector) to sustainability, ethical practices, and core values of respect, inclusivity, diversity, and kindness. Racing toward the new: Technology can be a double-edged sword, with the allure of immediacy and the “wow” factor often followed by disappointing results. Pro advice: When it comes to highly sensitive decision-making around elements like technology, Youssef knows what he knows—and when to seek outside expertise. Looking ahead: Youssef proposes innovative, partnership-based services focused primarily on raising brand awareness through community-building strategies.

Download Podcast TranscriptMentorship may sound like an intimidating practice, but it's really not! You just have to think of it like a relationship where someone with more knowledge guides someone with less knowledge. This is how today's guest, Niamh Donoghue, perceives it. Niamh is the CEO and founder of Soundboard, a platform connecting people through events, workshops, and 1:1 peer mentorship. Through a mutual exchange of personal, professional, and life experiences, its goal is to kick-start a feeling of contagious motivation in its immediate communities and beyond. Mentorship doesn't sound so intimidating now, does it?Highlights:Niamh talks about her journey from growing up in a small town in Ireland to following her hunger to visit big cities: she studied Fashion Communication in Scotland and then she ended up getting a job at a fashion brand that she loved in San Francisco. After 3 years, Niamh moved back to the UK after realizing that a lot of the progress she had made over the years was because of her mentors. However, she realized that mentorship was really hard to find and she decided to make it easier for people by creating Soundboard.Mentorship is quite a simple concept, but people still feel intimidated by this practice. Niamh believes that this has happened because we tend to complicate things, but it's time to bring mentorship back to basics.Niamh describes in detail the formula that has helped build Soundboard, which is based on three pillars: being curious, giving more than you expect to receive, and just enjoying the journey towards mentorship.We always need someone to show us how something is done in order to feel that something is possible: this is the root to mentorship!Niamh reveals a curiosity of the Irish alphabet that you for sure had no idea about!To learn more about Niamh, follow her on Instagram or check out her webpage. Sign up for The First Degree Membership!
