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. Tack för att du lyssnar! Följ oss gärna på Instagram.

When you consider the history of the jumpsuit, sows ears and silk purses come to mind. After all, how did an unassuming item of workwear became haute couture?The jumpsuit's popularity has remained, as workwear and fashion statement, both cygnet and swan. Most recently it's cropped up in uniforms designed by Ozwald Boateng for British Airways cabin crew, providing an option for a gender-diverse workforce. The jumpsuit therefore highlights the alchemy of design, turning utility into stylistic gold, and showing that silk purses really can be made from sow's ears.

When you consider the history of the jumpsuit, sows ears and silk purses come to mind. After all, how did an unassuming item of workwear became haute couture? The jumpsuit started out, as the name implies, as a one-piece garment designed for parachutists. It had to be form-fitting with minimal openings to stop the force of air ripping it open when hurtling to the ground. It was based on aviator suits, created for the new aeroplanes.During the First World War, when fighter planes were first used, British pilots often wore a Sidcot suit. Most recently it's cropped up in uniforms designed by Ozwald Boateng for British Airways cabin crew, providing an option for a gender-diverse workforce.The jumpsuit therefore highlights the alchemy of design, turning utility into stylistic gold, and showing that silk purses really can be made from sow's ears.

La semana pasada hablamos de la relación entre la moda y el activismo, y cómo esa relación puede verse como algo no tan genuino dependiendo de quién venga. Hoy seguimos la conversación, hablando de algunos personajes que han sido ignorados en la escritura tradicional de la historia de la moda. Esperamos mostrarles cómo, a través de los tiempos, el lente por el que se nos ha enseñado la historia ha nublado la trayectoria de muchos personajes importantes y es reflejo de un racismo sistemático que debe ser reconocido y enfrentado.ReferenciasBeth Fowkes Tobin, Picturing Imperial Power: Colonial Subjects in Eighteenth-Century British Painting (Durham, N.

Designers need to reposition their businesses as startups to tap into much-needed investment, says menswear designer, Ozwald Boateng, on the latest episode of TheCurrent Innovators podcast. In conversation with Liz Bacelar at a Spotify event in Paris, Boateng, whose body of work propelled the craftsmanship of London's Savile Row to international recognition, says he believes the creative world needs to learn from technology in terms of how it approaches funding. The fashion industry's model of investors taking control of designers' names early on is broken, he explains, saying that we can all learn from new direct-to-consumer businesses that have overcome this by approaching differently the way that they're backed instead. "What amazes me is when you see these young creative talents, still owning sizeable chunks of the business after raising so much money and getting these valuations of a billion plus – you kind of go, my god, can that really happen, it's almost like a dream, but in the tech world, it's the norm," he notes. "This creates a huge amount of independence and opportunity for the designer – you're no longer forced to follow the rules, so that's exciting. For me as a business, I'm looking at ways to take advantage of that." Conversely, he says the technology world also needs to learn from creatives. "I think if more designers looked at the world of technology and applied their creative to the tech, I am sure we would see some very interesting and groundbreaking ideas ," he comments. He explains that designers are trained to always look forward, to spot trends and understand needs, so it's something he believes would work exceptionally well when applied to technology. "I would happily use a body scanner [for my made-to-measure suits], it makes a lot of sense. But there's a lot of things I could add in terms of how I need the technology to work," he notes. "So I see a partnership. Eventually both [designers and tech companies] will see they need each other, and then they'll just make it work." During the conversation, the duo also talk about his new uniform designs for British Airways, his time as creative director at Givenchy and the role of race and diversity in the industry. Catch up with all of our episodes of TheCurrent Innovators here. The series is a weekly conversation with visionaries, executives and entrepreneurs.
