Podcast appearances and mentions of Simone Rocha

The cat is out of the bag: Lauren is knocked up! And Chelsea is NOT the father, fyi.  On today's episode, we discuss her foray into motherhood and our failed attempt to whore out her pregnancy reveal. We are also joined by the brilliant and discerning Patrik Sandberg for a discussion of Lady Gaga's new album Mayhem, Meghan Markle's much-derided Netflix series, and a recap of fashion month.  ps. this episode was recorded before we learned of the fashion double whammy that is Demna's appointment at Gucci and Donatella's exit from Versace.  Collections discussed in this episode include Calvin Klein, The Row, Tom Ford, Dries Van Noten, Givenchy, Chloe, Anne Demulemeester, Rabanne, Simone Rocha, Hodakova, Marc Jacobs, Dsquared2, Alaia, Duran Lantink, and Dilara Findikoglu. 

Created by Zeda the Architect, this event was all about celebrating the vital role that Irish stylists play in shaping, promoting, and advancing the fashion industry while connecting it to the broader design community - often seen as the glue that brings the industry together. The evening consisted of two panel talks, the second moderated by Tech Powered Luxury included Shana Chu, Aoife McNamara, Evan Doherty, Sinead Keenan, Anne O'Shea and Lawson Mpame. What could possibly bring a CEO, a Director, photographer, stylist, producer and designer together? Of course it would have to be a conversation around fashion - the industry that is not quite yet seen as one in Ireland but that's finally starting to make an impact. Just yesterday, two of Ireland's most successful designers - JW Anderson and Simone Rocha - took home two of the biggest prizes at the British Fashion Awards, a testaement to the talent coming from Ireland.

On this episode of "The Muler Report," the hosts kick things off by discussing the most significant news of the week: Alessandro Michele's appointment to Valentino. This sparks another conversation about Dries Van Noten stepping down from his brand and who should take over.  It then becomes a mule heavy conversation from there, with the boys discussing some new drops from MM6 and Simone Rocha's collaboration with Crocs.  This of course leads in to the best mules of the week and  the question: Is menswear dry right now?

Under hösten och vintern visades utställningen Rebel: 30 Years of London Fashion på Design Museum i London. Den var ett samarbete med British Fashion Council vars satsning NewGen firade trettio år. NewGen är – ett onekligen framgångsrikt – initiativ som stöder unga designtalanger och vars målsättning är att hjälpa dem bygga upp globala  premiummodemärken. Lee Alexander McQueen, Christopher Kane, Christopher Raeburn, Erdem, Peter Pilotto, Jonathan Saunders, Henry Holland, Kim Jones, J.W. Anderson, Mary Katrantzou, Molly Goddard, Roksanda, Simone Rocha, Priya Ahluwalia, Saul Nash, Grace Wales Bonner, Bianca Saunders är bara några designers som stöttats av NewGen genom åren. Hur kommer det sig att London varit så bra på att få fram unga nya designers? Och hur hänger kreativitet, mångfald och städer ihop?I dagens avsnitt vänder vi blicken mot kultursidan av mode. I en tid då så mycket kring mode bara handlar om shopping, hur kan mode bli intressant igen?  Vi träffar Sarah Mower, mångårig kritikchef på Vogue.com, Ambassador for Emerging Talent vid British Fashion Council och ordförande för NewGen. Hon var också curator för utställningen Rebel: 30 Years of London Fashion. Vi pratar också med Charlotta Mellander, professor i nationalekonomi vid Jönköping International Business School och expert på städer, kreativitet och regional utveckling. Jordana Guimaraes, grundare till FashinNovation , berättar hur hennes företag arbetar aktivt mot olika städer och länder för att med kombinationen mode och tech få fart på hållbarhetsutvecklingen. Här utlovas samtal om designskolor, om en mångfald som berikar, om unga stjärnskott, om att vända det ohållbara ryggen, om vad staden och staten gör och inte gör för att stötta mode, om städers livskraft och om platsers önskan att profilera sig. Programmet leds av Jenny Lantz, docent i företagsekonomi med inriktning på kulturekonomi vid Handelshögskolan i Stockholm. Inslaget med Jordana Guimares görs av modejournalisten Sofia Hedström de Leo. Tack för att du lyssnar! Följ oss gärna på Instagram.

El espectacular regreso de John Galliano nos hizo querer hablar de alta costura y es que su colección para Margiela se robó todos los aplausos, pero también hubieron otras colecciones que amamos, como la de Jean Paul Gaultier con Simone Rocha, Schiaparelli y más de las que te platicamos en este episodio. Esto es es ⁠⁠Hablemos de Moda⁠⁠ con ⁠⁠Claudia Cándano⁠⁠ y ⁠⁠Jordi Linares⁠⁠, disponible en video en Youtube y en audio en todas las plataformas de podcast.

Haute couture represents the apotheosis of fashion. Thousands of hours of work can go into a single item, destined to be worn just once. Couture offers a window into a multi-billion-euro industry. But it's also a pillar of French soft power, which was perfectly expressed this year at Dior, Imane Ayissi, Sara Chraïbi and Simone Rocha for Jean Paul Gaultier. FRANCE 24 takes you to check out the runway shows.

La Haute couture, ce sont des milliers d'heures de travail pour une seule tenue... Un laboratoire exceptionnel, qui est aussi la vitrine d'une industrie brassant des milliards d'euros. Un soft power flamboyant pour la France, porteur de messages, comme chez Dior, Imane Ayissi, Sara Chraïbi, via l'exposition carte blanche à Laurence Benaïm, initiée par le Centre Pompidou, ou l'interprétation de l'ADN Jean Paul Gaultier par la créatrice irlandaise Simone Rocha.

To kick off the new year we thought it would be fun to take a little stroll down memory lane and look back at some of our favorite Nordy Pod moments from 2023. We've had a lot of fun making this thing and chatting with all the fascinating people that have agreed to come on the show. Fashion icons like Domenico De Sole, Anna Wintour and Will Welch, incredible fashion designers like Simone Rocha and Erdem, successful brand partners like Gucci Westman and David Neville of Westman Atelier, Caspar Coppetti of On running shoes, Anastasia Soare of Anastasia Beverly Hills and Ben Gorham of BYREDO. We've also had the great pleasure of chatting with a slew of really amazing athletes and entertainers like former NFL wide receiver for the Seattle Seahawks Doug Baldwin, former NBA All Star of the Chicago Bulls Bob Love, Grammy award-winning hip-hop artist Macklemore and TV and film star Joel McHale. We're proud to highlight some of our employees that have used Nordstrom as a platform to build really impressive careers. For example, three of our very best salespeople: Jesse James Barnholdt, Gregory Clark and Jeffrey Ola. This year has also taken us out of the studio and into some really interesting places, like our distribution and fulfillment centers and to the very end of our merchandise food chain, to our Last Chance stores. We've also shared several really great customer experiences on The Nordy Pod, including a bit of negative feedback. Overall, it's been a really fun year and we're really proud of what we've been able to put together, so we hope you enjoy this special look back at The Nordy Pod in 2023.

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. So, we've decided to bring a little bit of that excitement to you through The Nordy Pod! Thanks for tuning in to episode 44. We hope you enjoy it! Did you know that YOU can be on The Nordy Pod?

Brecht van Hulten in gesprek met Madelief Hohé, conservator mode en kostuum bij Kunstmuseum Den Haag.  Vivienne Westwood, Alexander McQueen, Stella McCartney, maar ook de maatkleding van Savile Row, Britse kostschooluniformen, de Schotse ruit, sportkleding, kleding van de Britse Royal Family, hoeden voor Ascot van Philip Treacy en Stephen Jones: de Britten hebben hun stempel stevig weten te drukken op de modegeschiedenis. En denk daarbij zeker niet alleen aan keurige, conservatieve maatkleding. In Engeland hadden ook de rebellen van Swinging London, punks en skinheads invloed op het modebeeld. Net als de Britse royals zelf, en dan vooral de zo geliefde Lady Diana. Behalve mode-icoon was zij ook een rebel die mode aangreep om een statement te maken. Kunstmuseum Den Haag duikt met de modetentoonstelling 'Royals & Rebels – British Fashion' in de rijke geschiedenis van de Britse mode en brengt hiermee ook een eerbetoon aan Vivienne Westwood. Er komen naast haar, McQueen en McCartney talloze andere Britse ontwerpers aan bod, onder wie Charles Frederick Worth, Liberty's, Lucile, Edward Molyneux, Mary Quant, Katharine Hamnett, Paul Smith, John Galliano, Phoebe Philo, Richard Quinn, Gareth Pugh, Simone Rocha en jonge talenten zoals Bora Aksu, Robert Wun, Charles Jeffrey Loverboy en Matty Bovan. 

What you'll learn in this episode:   How Melanie discovered that classic pearls could be seen in a new light. Why younger people, especially men, are embracing pearl jewelry in a new way.  How Melanie's collaboration with Tasaki broke barriers for Japanese customers.  The difference between types of pearls, and what it's like to work with them.  How launching her brand right after art school gave Melanie a crash course in the jewelry business.    About Melanie Georgacopoulos   With a background in sculpture, jewellery designer Melanie Georgacopoulos works with materials in new ways to release their potential and stimulate new interpretations. She began her exploration of the pearl during her Master's degree at the RCA in 2007, after which she worked as a freelance designer under Antoine Sandoz for major international brands, before establishing her eponymous label in 2010.   In Melanie's work the paradoxical, intriguing nature of pearls and mother of pearl is at the core of every piece, whilst the aesthetic remains simple, structured and timeless. She continually strives to challenge the existing preconceptions of these organic materials and that of traditional jewellery design itself. It is this unique approach which has given her the opportunity to showcase her pieces regularly at fairs, exhibitions and galleries worldwide.   Melanie became well known internationally for her work with pearls, leading to her collaboration with TASAKI, which began in 2013. Directional line M/G TASAKI was born, marring Melanie's flair to cross design boundaries with the Japanese jewellery company's world renowned craftsmanship. Following the huge success of the seasonal collections Melanie was appointed Head Designer for M/G TASAKI in 2015. She has been a visiting lecturer at Central Saint Martins for the last four years whilst she continues to create her own collections and one-off pieces for special projects.   Additional Resources: Website Instagram Photos available on TheJewelryJourney.com Transcript: Melanie Georgacopoulos has done a few things to pearls that would make an old-school pearl lover gasp. She's cut them, drilled them and combined them in taboo ways, but the result is elegant, modern jewelry for a new generation. She joined the Jewelry Journey Podcast to talk about her collaboration with Japanese pearl brand Tasaki; which types of pearls she loves to work with; and why she didn't appreciate pearls until she saw what was inside. Read the episode transcript here.    Sharon: Hello, everyone. Welcome to the Jewelry Journey Podcast. This is the first part of a two-part episode. Please make sure you subscribe so you can hear part two as soon as it's released later this week.    Today, we're talking with Melanie Georgacopoulos. Melanie occupies some unusual niches. She's a specialist in designing with pearls, which is very unusual. For those of you who are listening who think that pearls are too old-fashioned or too formal, she has really changed the way pearls are viewed. She lives in Hamburg but has her office in London. She's also the Chief Designer for a collaboration with a Japanese company, Tasaki. We will hear all about her jewelry journey today. Melanie, welcome to the program.   Melanie: Thank you for inviting me, Sharon. I'm delighted to be here.   Sharon: Melanie and I went through a lot of iterations with the time, so I'm glad we did connect. Tell us about your jewelry journey and how you started working with pearls.    Melanie: I have to say I am very lucky, because I've known from quite a young age that I wanted to be creative, and more specifically that I wanted to work in the field of jewelry. I must have been around 12 or 13 years old when I started making things with my hands. I didn't quite know what to do with them, so my brother suggested I use them as jewelry somehow. That gave me a purpose to create objects that related to the body somehow. By the time I finished school, I was 100% focused on the idea that I wanted to involve myself in jewelry.    I grew up in Greece, by the way, so my first step was to study in Athens. I found a private vocational school where I learned about traditional Greek jewelry techniques, handmaking and production. It was more focused on technique rather than design. After those three years, I decided to broaden my horizons, so I went to Edinburgh College of Art and studied sculpture. I went from something quite small to something very large. I did a BA there. After that, I felt that I still needed help to figure out exactly what my voice was.    I was very lucky; I applied for the Royal College of Art and got a place in the jewelry department, which is a master's of two years. I had a fantastic time there. It was during those two years that I discovered pearls. At the time, I was working with a lot of different materials, and I was designing a lot, but I hadn't really found my voice yet. By chance I started working with pearls. My first thought was, “What's inside them? They look intriguing.” I cut one up and saw those broad circles, and I was fascinated; I was surprised; I was intrigued, and I started learning about pearls. I graduated from the RCA, the Royal College of Art, with a collection of deconstructing the pearl necklace.   After graduating, I decided to stay in London. I worked as a jewelry designer for a brand. We designed for other companies. A few years later, I decided to start my own brand because there was still a lot of interest in what I was doing, and I felt there was a niche to be explored. That was 10 years ago already. There was a niche to be explored about contemporary pearl jewelry. There wasn't really anything exciting being done in the field, I felt. This is how my journey started into pearl jewelry.   Sharon: Did you have the emotional support of your family in this?   Melanie: I was very lucky. My parents encouraged me from a young age to find what I was interested in and pursue it. I was very passionate from a young age, and they recognized and encouraged that. They supported me for my studies, which in hindsight I'm also very grateful for because I was completely free to focus on my studies without any financial constraints. They said to me, “We just want you to find what you're really interested in and the rest will follow,” and it has, actually.   Sharon: Did you come from an artistic family? Were they creative? Were they sculptors?   Melanie: In a way. My dad is a lawyer, but he always liked to build things with his hands and work in the garden. He really enjoyed that. My mom is an interior decorator. We always credit her for the artistic name in the family, but I think my dad secretly was also quite artistic, just not for his work. My brother ended up becoming an industrial designer. We were both encouraged to be quite creative. There were no constraints. At the time in Greece, there was a lot of focus on either becoming a doctor or a lawyer. Thankfully they kept us away from that career path.   Sharon: I'm very surprised that English schools would accept somebody who hadn't already gone through their system.    Melanie: I think I was lucky. Going to the Royal College of Art was easier because I had graduated from Edinburgh. In order to get into Edinburgh, I needed to pass an English exam for the language and submit a portfolio which I had worked on. It wasn't just, “O.K., if I show up, I'm going to get a place.” I had to compete for that.    I have to say it was quite a shock culturally to move from Greece to Scotland, but at the same time, it was an excellent training for my English. It was a place where you have to figure things out by yourself. There is no one there to hold your hand, so it made me quite resilient from the beginning. Also, I think it might be the English or British mentality that you have to work hard for what you get. No one is going to be there to hold your hand and provide things to you. You have to find your own way to make things happen, which is what I have continued up until today.   Sharon: When you went from Edinburgh to the Royal College of Art, was it a big change then, or was it just a continuation?   Melanie: It was a big change because I basically had no understanding of the impact it was going to have on me. I was moving to an extremely creative environment, very competitive, but also the people who are chosen to go to the Royal College of Art are extremely talented, extremely focused, extremely passionate. You come in thinking, “Oh, I'm going thrive here. I'm going to be the best,” and you realize that the other 20 people in your class are exactly the same as you, if not better. But it was a very nice context. It wasn't competitive in a bad way; it was actually competitive in a good way.    It was very international. I still have contacts all over the world because I studied there. It was also a change because London is still a very international city in comparison to a place like Edinburgh. In hindsight, I'm so grateful to have come to Edinburgh because I did get a taste of Britain, whereas in London, you get a taste of the world, but not necessarily that much of England.    Sharon: So, you were studying, and you saw a hole in the marketplace? Tell us about that.   Melanie: When you do a master's, you obviously try to do a lot of things at the same time. You're trying to figure out who you are relatively, what is your own point of view in whatever you study, but let's say it's jewelry. I was trying to find my voice because there are all different kinds of jewelry, as you know. There's high jewelry, artistic jewelry, fashion jewelry, and I was trying to figure that out. At the same time, you study a lot of things. You have to write essays. You have to do projects with market research. You have to do specific projects with companies during your studies, like a weeklong project, for example. Part of those projects is to understand not only the context you're thinking of going into in terms of jewelry, but understanding the general context of what is out there. I think it helps you to find your place if you find certain niches or areas that you feel are potentially unexplored.    When I came across pearls, at the beginning, I had absolutely no prior relationship to them the way some cultures do. I didn't really understand the impact of pearls or their cultural significance. I also had no fear because after all these years, I realized people have a lot of connotations about pearls. Wit the more valuable pearls, you are to treat them with respect—I put that in brackets. You're not supposed to cut them, and you're not supposed to do things to them. But because of my sculptural context, I actually saw them as a material, not necessarily as a precious gemstone. That made me free to explore them as a material, but also culturally and design-wise in my subsequent designs. I think that was a very good start for me, to be in this comfort zone of studying where I could be very experimental and put down some solid foundations, which then I was able to grow and expand after my studies as a young professional and as someone who has to make a living out of what they do.   Sharon: When you first looked at the pearls, did you just see, like most people do, strands you put around your neck?    Melanie: Absolutely, yes. The context was really the single pearl strands, the little earrings. There was hardly any pearl jewelry—and by that I include fashion jewelry—on the high streets. Slowly but surely I started seeing fashion jewelry on the catwalks, with brands like Alexander McQueen. Later there was Christopher Kane. Now, for example, there is Simone Rocha, who started putting pearl embellishments on her clothes. All this has the effect that it trickles onto the high streets. Then, the 14, 15, 16, 17-year-olds start wearing plastic pearls, and they slowly understand that it's not that old-fashioned. Then by the time they're 30, they can pay a bit more. They want to wear more expensive jewelry because they can afford it. They start to invest in fine jewelry and keep progressing.   Over the years, I realized I have two sorts of clients. One is the older client who has the classic necklace and earrings, probably the white ones or the darker ones depending on where she's from. She's looking for something different, because I think now is the time that people look for individual jewelry that expresses their style rather than copying something they see in a magazine.   The second type of client is a younger customer who is not particularly interested in pearls but likes the design. They might also happen to have pearls. I think it gives me a nice challenge to try and create pieces that attract both of those clients, because clearly, they look for different things, different scales. Also, they have different budgets.    Sharon: Besides the one in Japan, do you design for companies? Do people come to you and say, “I want my pearls different”? How does it work?   Melanie: I have been in touch with Tasaki since 2012. By that time, I had already started my brand. I was wholesaling in a few stores, and I decided to focus on pearls. When Tasaki approached me, they wanted to take the sliced idea I was known for and turn it into M/G Tasaki Jewelry. They wanted to slowly build an M/G Tasaki brand with me. Unfortunately, my last name, as you know, is very long, so we decided to do M/G Tasaki rather than Melanie Gerogacopoulos, which would be far too long. So, I design exclusively for them.   Then on the side, I have my own brand where I'm able to be creative completely without any boundaries. This is also where I have expanded the last two years on working with mother of pearl, as you may have seen. So, I have clients who approach me because they've seen my work for Tasaki and they want to buy Tasaki pieces, which they can also do through the Tasaki website or in the Tasaki shops. I also have clients who approach me because they want a special piece, a commission, something else I have done for my own brand.   Sharon: When I look at mother of pearl, it looks very fragile or like you have to be very careful with it. Am I wrong with that?   Melanie: You have to be careful, but it's not as fragile as people think. Actually, mother of pearl has been used quite a lot in watches and dials. It's been used in fine watches for a long, long time. We've seen it more and more in fine jewelry in the last few years, but you have to treat it differently than pearl. This is one aspect of it that I find fascinating. It's so close to a pearl. It's the actual oyster that makes the pearl, but you buy it in flat sheets. It's translucent. It's also got the same colors as pearls. You can do different things with it. Even though it's like the first cousin of the pearl, it allows you to do other things that you wouldn't be able to do with pearls. It's a similar material. It's in the same family, yet it's a completely different thing altogether.   Sharon: Do you buy your pearls one by one, or do you say, “Send me a batch and I'll pick the ones I like”?   Melanie: It depends on whether I'm designing a collection. In that case, I have suppliers, for example in Hong Kong, for freshwater pearls. I ask for different sizes and strands that they have in different colors. They send me photos and price lists, and then I decide. I always try to buy more than I need because I think there's no point getting something sent from Hong Kong if it's just for one pearl. So, I'm trying to buy a bit more to have more stock in the office.    Then I have suppliers in London. If I have a special commission, there's a system where they can lend you a few pearls or strands on approval, which means you can borrow them for three weeks, I think, to show them to the client. They can keep them for a few days, and then they return them to you when they've made a decision. It's part of the experience when you work with a private client; they get that extra service so you can customize something for them. You give them the luxury to look at the gemstones, in this case the pearls, before they are mounted on a piece of jewelry. They can look at the pearls against their skin color, for example, and decide before having the finished piece of jewelry in their hands.    So, how I source the materials depends on what I intend to do with them. Because I make collections as well as individual pieces, I have suppliers who can give me access to pearls or other gemstones, depending on what I'm going to be using them for.   Sharon: Did Tasaki approach you because—if you think of Japan, you think of pearls. Well, I do at least.    Melanie: I think we all do, yes. I think it was just extremely good timing. They saw my pieces in the High Street Market in London, which is a big shop and a very conceptual store. They found the products interesting because I was cutting them and joining them and making necklaces, and they were selling very well. They thought, “O.K., someone's doing something interesting. We've never seen this before. It's different than what exists out there, what other competitors are doing.”    I'm sure you've heard of Mikimoto as being a Japanese pearl brand, and they were looking to offer a different perspective on pearl jewelry at the time. So, I was lucky that they saw my pieces when they were searching for new ideas. They suggested we do this joint brand. Every time I think about this, I'm so grateful they placed so much trust in me, a young 30-year-old, Greek/French sculpture jewelry graduate with a young brand, a creative person. A year after we met, we launched the first collection. Luckily it went well, but it could have equally been rejected by the very discerning Japanese customers.   Sharon: You're saying you did the collection a year later. Do they have their own stores, or would they put it in department stores?   Melanie: Yeah, they are a pretty big company, but they're not very well known in the west. They're working on that, but they have a lot of stores in Japan, Korea, China and Taiwan. They're actually quite well-known there, and they were able to place the collection straightaway in their stores and some of the biggest department stores there. Since then, we've made on average one or two collections a year. We launch between 20 to 30 different pieces a year. I've designed over 30 or 40 collections and we're still working together, which is a huge compliment for myself to be designing for a Japanese company for so long.   Sharon: If they're so well-known, is it like if your boyfriend brings you into Tiffany? Your boyfriend brings you to Tasaki?   Melanie: I guess, yeah. I have to say, I really admire that they are Japanese. The stereotype of Japanese people making things extremely well, that's totally true. Being appreciative of tradition and craftsmanship is totally true, but at the same time, they're really wanting and looking for something extremely avant garde. You can see that in the fashion and the fashion companies. I find it very brave of a company to go in that direction in pearl jewelry, because pearls are very culturally significant in Japan. They have a completely different relationship to them than we do. To propose sliced pearls as a first collection, I think that was very daring, and it worked.    Sharon: How did you introduce it? Let's say somebody is 50 and has their pearl necklace they've had for 30 years. You were slicing pearls and doing different things. How did you move them to a younger vibe?   Melanie: I think people always look for something they don't have. There's no point in making another classic pearl necklace if someone already has it, and you're not going to persuade a young person to buy one if they are associated with their grandmother, or the one that stayed in the safe for the last 30, 40 years. I am particularly interested in design more than as a jeweler, more than the value of stones. I feel that my strong point is to create designed pieces which are hopefully innovative and stand through time, but represent the time we're in. They do stand the test of time, and I hope this is what attracts younger people to the jewelry. It's something they haven't seen before, something they feel represents the time we're in now. The way to do that is by introducing good design. This is my hope for the jewelry that I present.   Sharon: We will have photos posted on the website.

Os cantores Lil Nas X e Harry Styles fazem parte de um movimento fashion que marcou a última Semana de Moda de Londres --o de homens que usam saias e os vestidos. Assim como os artistas, vários modelos do evento desfilaram com esse tipo de roupa, culturalmente associado ao guarda-roupa feminino. Estilistas como Simone Rocha, Molly Goddard, Stefan Cooke e Harris Reed exibiram coleções que desafiam as normas de gênero.  No TikTok, a hashtag #BoysInDresses –meninos de vestido em português– ultrapassa 90 milhões de visualizações e a #BoysInSkirts –ou meninos de saia– tem mais 225 milhões. Mas, se por um lado, o movimento vai na contramão de estereótipos, por outro, pode reafirmá-los a depender da maneira como as peças são vendidas no mercado. Há quem venda, por exemplo, vestidos sob o rótulo de masculino —o que é lido por alguns como contradição, já que o nome do produto estipula o gênero de quem deve comprá-lo. Ao mesmo tempo, os estilistas que não separam roupas em feminino e masculino enfrentam problemas técnicos, já que a anatomia de homens e mulheres é diferente.  Nesta semana, o Expresso Ilustrada discute por que tantos homens estão desafiando as normas de gênero na moda e qual o impacto disso para a indústria.  Para isso, o episódio ouve o estilista Jay Boggo, que vende peças em varejo e sob medida sem distinção de gênero, e a figurinista e escritora Carolina Casarin.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Continuing our series bringing together a fashion designer in conversation with an artist, we hear from Simone Rocha and Sophie Barber. Simone is the London-based designer known for romantic silhouettes offset by gritty contemporary accents. Hailing from Ireland with roots tracing back to Hong Kong, she has become a star of the London fashion scene since launching her label in 2010. When we made this recording, over the internet, it was barely a week since she'd staged her highly personal SS22 collection inspired by the experience of having her second child. Sophie dialled in from her home in Hastings on the south-east coast of England. The 25-year-old first came to Rocha's attention when she visited her solo show in London in 2020. Enchanted by the artist's playful, sense-tingling work, she finally had the chance to meet her in real life at Alison Jacques Gallery in London, which represents Sophie and where, at the time of recording , she has a solo exhibition of new paintings. Simone in turn invited Sophie and her boyfriend Ben to sit front row at her show. Listen as the pair get to know each other, discovering the parallels and differences in their respective practices.

As an independent female designer from Ireland, Simone Rocha has always cut her own path. She is most famous for her lethally sweet takes on femininity: pearls and princesses meet a punkish edge. After debuting a personal fall 2021 collection about grace within chaos, Rocha is putting out a career-defining collaboration with H&M. Can a singular voice survive on a global stage? Rocha and Vogue Runway's Steff Yotka discuss. See more from Good Morning Vogue here, and subscribe to Vogue on YouTube for the latest episodes.

En este episodio hablamos de las últimas colaboraciones de 2020 y la primeras de 2021. Desde Gucci x The North Face hasta la esperada colección de diseñador de Simone Rocha x H&M.

Kicking off the new year with fresh news hot off the press to discuss, of course, we get into the looming debate over Kamala Harris's first Vogue cover. In this episode, we also discussed the plight of the incredible Ib Kamara as he embarks on his role as the new editor-in-chief of Dazed.    In the extended version, we also peel into some juicy topics from our thoughts on Prada being chosen to design the costumes for the upcoming Billie Holiday biopic, Glenn Martens new role as the next designer to take on the Jean Paul Gaultier Couture collection, and the upcoming Simone Rocha x H&M collaboration.

It’s the season finale and Tiffanie, Stacey and Katie have saved the best for last. Their finds from around the store include deliciously decadent patisserie that just so happens to be vegan; a keep-forever accessory that promises to compliment every outfit in your wardrobe and a beauty product that both relieves stress and revitalises hair.    In the second part of the episode, Tiffanie catches up with Irish designer Simone Rocha, who makes her Harrods debut this season. She speaks to us about growing up as the daughter of designer John Rocha and her own journey to becoming one of the leading lights of the London design scene. “My father has had a huge influence on my silhouettes and love of textiles,” she says. “But I’ve translated that into my idea of femininity, which is where we differ. For me, femininity is about being strong, about being thoughtful and being interesting. It doesn’t have an age or size range.” She tells us about why her Irish heritage means so much to her, how she maintains her status as an independent designer and she talks through her latest collection – which was based on the Irish Renaissance play Riders to the Sea – and why her love of pearls was inspired by the politician Mary Robinson. 

This week I’m sharing a conversation with Dan Thawley, Editor in Chief of A Magazine Curated By. The magazine is unique in the landscape of fashion publications. The project was started in 2004 with the concept that each issue would be guest curated by a fashion designer, who would be given free rein over the content of the magazine.“Each issue celebrates a designer’s ethos: their people, passion, stories, emotions, fascinations, spontaneity, and authenticity.”The magazine presents an opportunity for designers to get beyond just fashion, and show the broader context of their work. The reader is invited to see the world of collaborators, references, and inspirations that contribute to a designer’s perspective. We get to understand the unique point of view of each designer who curates an issue, and, as you get to the final pages, you realize that you’ve had a truly intimate experience.I’m talking to Dan on the occasion of the release of A Magazine Curated By’s 21st issue, curated by Lucie and Luke Meier, the creative directors of fashion house Jil Sander. In our conversation Dan and I talk about his 10+ year history with the magazine, how he became Editor in Chief when he was just 20 years old, and the process behind the scenes of working with the designers. Over the years, Dan has developed a unique perspective on how visual culture influences clothing design.A Magazine Curated By has a great website where you can get a peak into iconic past issues with designers such as Martin Margiela, Thom Browne, Yohji Yamamoto, Simone Rocha, Jun Takahashi and many more.

I think few people in the fashion industry would argue with me if I said that Sara Sozzani Maino is one of the hardest working women in fashion. Sara is the head of Vogue Talents and Italian Vogue’s deputy editor for special fashion projects. And pretty much no matter where I am in the world or what event I am attending, I invariably seem to spot Sara, with her lion’s mane of black hair, her monochrome - usually black - attire and her practical footwear, which is a must since she is in constant motion. I see her working the room, wherever she is, and make sure to say hello to everyone. She is always giving kind words of support and encouragement to the young designers who are endlessly seeking her out and she is forever crisscrossing the globe on the hunt to discover new talents to celebrate within the pages of Italian Vogue and Vogue Talents. Sara grew up surrounded by strong women passionate about fashion. Both her mother, Carla Sozzani, who is the founder of the famed fashion concept store 10 Corso Como in Milan and her aunt, Franca Sozzani, the iconic editor in chief of Italian Vogue, from 1988 until her death in 2016, showed her what a strong work ethic can achieve and how powerful and transformative fashion can be on a global scale. Initially, Sara didn’t have a particular interest in fashion. She worked a bit in the early 90s, when she was just out of school, at the newly opened 10 Corso Como before getting a job as an intern in 1994 at Italian Vogue. Over the years she worked her way up through the ranks of the magazine and found her own niche, that of spotting up and coming talents that she would bring to the attention of the rest of the editorial team. Not surprisingly, in 2009 Franca put Sara in charge of the newly created Vogue Talents project. It was her mission to unearth the future designer diamonds in the rough in the worlds of womenswear, menswear, accessories, and fashion photography. And she has quite an eye for spotting those that have what it takes to make it to the top of the fashion pyramid. Designers like J. W. Anderson, Simone Rocha, Marco de Vincenzo and Glenn Martens, just to name a very few, were clocked by Sara very early on in their careers. It’s no wonder that every young talent fashion jury on the planet is clamoring to get Sara on their committee. 2019 marked the 10 year anniversary of the launch of Vogue Talents and I caught up with Sara right after that momentous milestone. And to give you an idea of just how busy this woman is, we ended up recording our podcast in the back of her black town car in between two fashion shows. All you have to do is listen to this podcast to know that Sara is one of those amazing people who you know you can always count on. She wants everyone to be a success, and if she can help you get there, she will pull out all the stops to make it happen.
