Podcast appearances and mentions of Vivienne Westwood

In this episode, Fred Moore speaks with Laylah Holmes about applying fashion's discipline of cut, construction and material to handcrafted rug design. With early experience at Vivienne Westwood and Ralph Lauren, Laylah brings a textile sensibility to the floor. Every piece is dyed, woven, tufted and finished entirely by hand, working with long-standing artisan partners across Nepal and India. They discuss longevity, scale and the responsibility of making objects that are built to endure. At a time of accelerated consumption, this is a conversation about patience, precision and designing interiors with the care of couture.

This week on Hungry, the founders behind SULT — the electrolyte brand turning “unhinged luxury” into a cultural movement.From building a status-driven brand that people actually want to post on Instagram, to rewriting the rules of marketing in the age of TikTok and YouTube, this is a masterclass in modern brand-building.We get into why unpredictability creates obsession, why most brands overcomplicate business, and how SULT uses storytelling, sex appeal, humor, and world-building to stand out in a saturated wellness market.We talk Better & Wetter campaigns, Margot Robbie-style bath content, Hailey Bieber's Rhode, Vivienne Westwood fashion shows, F1 boxes, Michelin-star storytelling hooks — and why the first three seconds of your content might be everything.If you're building a brand, running a food or drink business, or trying to crack YouTube, this episode is packed with practical insight and uncomfortable truths.This isn't just about electrolytes.It's about status, culture, identity — and making something people feel part of.===========ON THE MENU===========The Wellness Culture BacklashMaking Electrolytes SexyConsistency vs Quality on SocialSocial Media Is Your CVWhat Is “Unhinged Luxury”?Unpredictability Creates ObsessionThe £15K Acoustics LessonThe Iceberg of Content CreationWhy We Can't Crack YouTubeFrom Empty Restaurant to Michelin HookThe Hardest Thing: Having a Point of ViewWhy Status Beats Shelf SpaceDo You Fit at Vivienne Westwood or F1?Why Rhode (Hailey Bieber) WinsBusiness Is Just X to YMake Brands Simple AgainThe 3-Second Attention EconomyIgnore Traditional Marketing Rules00:00 Intro00:01 Milly's Eating Disorder & Recovery00:05 Toxic Wellness & Running Culture00:09 SULT's "Not That Deep" Philosophy00:14 Netflix-ification of Brand Building00:19 Ignoring Experts & Taking Risks00:24 "Unhinged Luxury" & Storytelling00:30 Scaling in Public vs Building in Public00:34 The Whiteboard Content Strategy00:42 How to Write Viral Hooks00:46 Organic Growth vs Paid Ads00:56 The Brooklyn Beckham Story01:00 Choosing Brand Colors & Standing Out01:06 Why They Ignore Business Advice01:08 The Power of Anti-Selling01:13 Building a Tribe & Status01:15 Learning from Rhode & Anti-Trends01:17 Dealing with Copycats01:20 Embracing Chaos in Business01:22 Co-Founder Dynamics & Conflict01:28 The Simon Squibb Story01:33 Simplifying Business & Branding01:37 How the Co-Founders Met01:39 Why Launch an Electrolyte Brand?01:45 The 4 Pillars of Marketing01:53 Launching in Boots & Retail Strategy01:58 Financial Transparency & Investors  

Season 27 begins! This new season is hosted by Robert Diament.Robert meets Holly Blakey, one of the foremost choreographers of her generation and one of the few female choreographers in the UK creating large-scale work.Her practice attends to the honest entanglements of embodied vulnerability, grief, and joy, always rooted in an intersectional feminist frame. Her live performance work has been presented at Southbank Centre, Hales Gallery and Théâtre National de Chaillot.As a director and choreographer, she has collaborated with artists including Robyn (for her new Sexistential album), Rosalía, Harry Styles, Celeste, and Florence + The Machine, and with fashion houses such as Vivienne Westwood, Burberry and Dior, and in films including Urchin (2025) directed by Harris Dickinson and Harvest directed by Athina Tsangari, interweaving live and commercial contexts, much of her practice often plays on the relationship between these distinct but not wholly separable worlds.We explore her 2026 collaboration with the Rambert dance company, as well as a new collaboration with artist Tai Shani, her 2025 ambitious double bill (for the Southbank Centre) titled Phantom, and A Wound with Teeth, which took her choreography to a new level of intensity, intimacy and international visibility. Holly Blakey's new full-length work Lo will premiere in 2026. Both works develop Blakey's fascination with social and folk dance forms, which began with her use of line dance in the Cowpuncher series and continues into Phantom and Lo with exploration of collective responsibility and euphoria through this form. For the first time, they both begin from a highly personal place and are developed through close collaboration with the dancers, drawing on their own experiences of grief and estrangement on the one hand, and pleasure and self-assertion on the other.A Wound with Teeth:How can loss of memory be a site of potential? In this excerpt from the new full-length work, Lo, Blakey uses her own experience of forgetting to create a work that questions our ability to remember, and also to imagine and invent, at the border of the rational and the irrational. In a world that is sometimes terrifying and perverse, fighting for our own survival also means creating stories, and our own monsters and beasts.Phantom:Carried by ten dancers engaged in a choreography on the verge of ritual, Holly Blakey explores with tenderness, honesty and strength a particularly painful episode of her personal journey: her miscarriage. In collaboration with Emma Chopova and Laura Lowena, creators of the Chopova Lowena brand and on a composition by the musician Gwilym Gold.We also learn about her work in film including Harvest (2024) directed by Athina Rachel Tsangari, where the entire movie revolved around choregraphy and movement.Follow @HollyTBlakey and visit https://www.hollyblakey.co.uk/ Hosted on Acast.

A Rolls-Royce emerges as she levitates ethereally, envisioning the vehicle in flames, symbolizing release of material ties for deeper emotional and spiritual connection.This follows videos for “Berghain” (with Björk and Yves Tumor) and “La Perla,” building the LUX era's surreal, transformative aesthetic rooted in spiritual renewal, womanhood, trust fractures, and rebirth.LUX explores feminine identity and emotional reclamation, influenced by Rosalía's 2023 engagement and breakup with Rauw Alejandro—detailed in her Special People Club podcast appearance—and inspirations like historical holy women, including Santa Rosalía.Promotion ramps up with her first U.S. TV spot on The Tonight Show performing “La Perla” in a Vivienne Westwood bridal gown, plus the upcoming LUX Tour 2026 spanning 17 countries across Europe, North America, South America, and the Caribbean, kicking off March 2026 with North American dates in Miami, New York, Los Angeles, and more.Join me, Analytic Dreamz, on this segment of Notorious Mass Effect for a concise breakdown of the video, its symbolism, LUX context, personal narrative ties, and what the tour means for Rosalía's evolving artistry.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/analytic-dreamz-notorious-mass-effect/donationsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Pol' Atteu and Patrik Simpson celebrate a milestone episode of Undressed with Pol' & Patrik, broadcasting for the first time from their brand-new West Hollywood studio, before diving headfirst into a fearless, unfiltered 2026 Golden Globes red-carpet breakdown. The episode opens with SnowBuBu love, Armenian coffee cup reading reminders, and Pol's signature fashion education as the duo identifies this year's dominant trends: minimalism, sheer “naked” dressing, metallics, sculptural tailoring, and statement diamonds. From there, the gloves come off. Pol' and Patrik critique the night's biggest looks, hits, and misfires—debating Owen Cooper's Bottega Veneta, Patrick Schwarzenegger's Dolce & Gabbana tux, and Zoë Kravitz's Saint Laurent nightgown-meets-Easter-tablecloth moment. Fashion triumphs shine with Teyana Taylor in Schiaparelli Haute Couture, ultimately crowned Best Dressed of the Night, praised for commanding the carpet with confidence, movement, and flawless execution. The runway rundown spans standout and controversial appearances from Nikki Glaser (Zuhair Murad), Natasha Lyonne, Amy Lou Wood, Alex Cooper (Gucci), Amelia Gray (Swarovski), Amy Poehler, Ariana Grande (custom Vivienne Westwood couture), Pamela Anderson, Parker Posey, Queen Latifah (Gaurav Gupta), Timothée Chalamet, Walton Goggins, Maya Rudolph, Kristen Bell, Chloë Zhao, and a universally praised Jennifer Lopez in vintage Jean-Louis Scherrer. One of the night's biggest surprises? Connor Storrie (Heated Rivalry), named Best Dressed Man, wearing Saint Laurent with Tiffany & Co. jewelry, earning praise for immaculate tailoring, confidence, and star-making presence. The episode wraps with Pol' and Patrik's final verdicts—celebrating fashion that elevates the event and calling out looks that missed the mark—delivering couture insight, pop-culture commentary, and laugh-out-loud banter that defines Undressed.

Where does your field jacket actually come from? Were WWII soldiers the original hypebeasts? What is the M-43 jacket? Sol and Michael sit down with Avery Trufelman, host of Articles of Interest and 99% Invisible veteran, to break down the military origins of menswear and why everyone's suddenly obsessed with gorpcore. The trio dive deep into the history of the M-65 field jacket, how World War II military surplus shaped American fashion, the invention of layering (yes, someone had to invent it), why Special Forces operators became fashion influencers, and the complicated ethics of wearing military aesthetics as civilians. Further, Avery shares insights from her latest podcast season "Gear," explaining the connection between outdoor brands and military contracts, the decline of army surplus stores, why The Row is making combat boots now, and how Buck Mason's militaria collection tells the story of American style. They also discuss Vivienne Westwood's punk legacy, the upcoming Antwerp Six book, athleisure as health signifier, Rick Owens' influence on tactical fashion, women's gear and the "pink it and shrink it" problem, plus whether military fashion makes you complicit in something larger. Other topics include: the Parsons jacket and Supreme-style military drops, George Doria inventing venture capital AND the field jacket, challenge coins and PowerPoint patch design, Americana Pipe Dream's hunt for rare surplus, Cher and the Armenian diaspora (a future episode?), and why fashion never really goes away — it just cycles back.Want to support the podcast?

Martin Parr was a decades long constant in photography who was known for his super saturated, contrasty images, both literally and metaphorically. Awarded a CBE in 2021, which for non-UK listeners is rather a big deal, and the subject of a beautiful documentary in 2024, I wanted to remember Martin who for me is up there with other British cultural icons like Vivienne Westwood, David Bowie and Alexander McQueen. When we think of British cultural exports it's safe to say Martin's work will be remembered along with Paul Smith, Monty Python, Doctor Who, The Beatles and the Mini Cooper. More about this show:A camera is just a tool but spend enough time with photographers and you'll see them go misty eyed when they talk about their first camera or a small fast prime that they had in their youth. Prime Lenses is a series of interviews with photographers talking about their photography by way of three lenses that mean a lot to them. These can be interchangeable, attached to a camera, integrated into a gadget, I'm interested in the sometimes complex relationship we have with the tools we choose, why they can mean so much and how they make us feel.

Vivienne Westwood transformed herself from a working-class girl who didn't think she belonged in the art world into a global fashion icon who changed it forever.In this weeks episode we unpack the full story behind Westwood's rise, from her early days designing politically charged T-shirts in London's punk scene, to dressing the Sex Pistols, redefining runway spectacle, and turning fashion into a tool for rebellion.Whether you're visiting the NGV exhibition or just want to understand why Vivienne Westwood mattered this episode gives you the cultural context behind the tartan, the punk, and the power.Come follow us on all the apps@framedthepod@joeldavid_b@cheersthanxalotWant to watch the episode?

Welcome back to the SheerLuxe Middle East Podcast – and to our final episode of the year. Hebah Baker and Talar Bilemjian join Tamara Jabi. The three get into the region's fashion momentum – from Dubai Fashion Week's guest designer Alberta Ferretti to Riyadh Fashion Week opening with Vivienne Westwood and closing with Stella McCartney – before spotlighting the emerging names they're loving, including Dubai favourite Emergency Room and its new Timberland collab. They also unpack the retail launches set to shake up 2026, from Ulta Beauty and Primark landing in the region to a clever “portable ATM” service that feels peak-Dubai convenient. There's chat about what they're watching (and avoiding), what they're wearing, and the fashion finds heading straight into their carts. They also run through the cultural openings you can't miss – including Abu Dhabi's Natural History Museum – the latest celebrity chatter, and the broader Ozempic/body-positivity conversation. Finally, they share the products they can't live without right now, from Kosas's colour-correcting concealer to a portable red-light panel and Cymbiotika's supplement sachets.Subscribe For More | http://bit.ly/2VmqduQ Get SheerLuxe Straight To Your Inbox, Daily | http://sheerluxe.com/signup Hosted on Acast.

​​The fashion designer Bella Freud launched Fashion Neurosis a little over a year ago with Rick Owens as her first guest. The show—available in both audio and video formats—immediately set itself apart from other fashion podcasts by the sense of intimacy Freud cultivated in unguarded conversations with her high-profile visitors, Cate Blanchett, David Cronenberg, and Rosalía, among them. She joins Nicole Phelps on this week's episode of The Run-Through to discuss the origins of the show, including its now-iconic set-up.The designer, who yes, is the great-granddaughter of Sigmund Freud, and the daughter of the painter Lucian Freud, also discusses her first steps in fashion—liberated as a teenager by Vivienne Westwood's clothes while she worked at the Seditionaries store, and later by Westwood herself as she worked alongside the legendary designer.The Run-Through with Vogue is your go-to podcast where fashion meets culture.

Coming from a challenging, working class upbringing in the United Kingdom, Steve Jones discovered his outlet in music - as founding guitarist of the groundbreaking punk rock band the Sex Pistols. Despite the release of only one album,”Never Mind the Bollocks, Here’s the Sex Pistols,” the band changed the course of music and history - vocalizing issues of class in songs like “Anarchy in the U.K.” – and influencing fashion, art and society. Since then, Jones has continued to play music (both solo and with bands The Professionals and Neurotic Outsiders) and was the host of the popular, long-running radio show, “Jonesy’s Jukebox.” In 2022, his insightful memoir, “Lonely Boy,” was adapted into the FX television series, the Danny Boyle-directed “Pistol.” Steve Jones talks to host Alec Baldwin about the roots of punk rock, coming up alongside Vivienne Westwood and Chrissie Hynde, and the road to getting clean – and beginning life anew.

Visit tonyfletchersubstack.com for more show notes, fanzine covers, the Ode To a Better-Badged Boychik poem and more. https://tonyfletcher.substack.com/p/how-14-yr-old-mark-jays-skum-zineMark Jay was just 14 years old in 1976 when, hanging out at the Rock On record shop next in Camden Town, close to his violence-ridden state school, an inadvertent reacquaintance with John Simon Ritchie - a.k.a. Sid Vicious - propelled him into the heart of the fledgling UK punk scene.By the end of that year, Mark had started one of the first British punk fanzines, SKUM, and not only been befriended by Bernie Rhodes, The Clash, and members of the Sex Pistols, but by Malcolm McLaren and Vivienne Westwood, who having seen Mark's cartoon of the Sex Pistols v. Bill Grundy TV fiasco, commissioned a ‘Story So Far' from him that became the insert to the Never Mind The Bollocks album. Mark was among the only proper fans, and surely the youngest to attend the Pistols' Silver Jubilee boat trip/concert on June 7, 1977, at which he was arrested and spend the night in jail. By then he was all of 15. He remembers it to this day as the best gig of his life.Mark ceased publishing SKUM in December 1977, a year after he had started, and indulged his Beat Poetry obsession instead, starting a fanzine called All The Poets, printed in early 1979 by Joly MacFie (featured on Episode 3 of this podcast) at Better Badges, as a ‘guinea pig' for his new printing press. Around the same time, he allowed my zine Jamming! to cut-and-paste his (first ever) Sid Vicious interview from SKUM 1 for my Jamming! 7, also printed at Better Badges.At the end of September 2025, Mark and I had a real time conversation for the first time in over 46 years, which I recorded in entirety for this, the final UK episode of the Fanzine Podcast. It is, quite possibly, and not as much for the renewed personal connection as for Mark's incredible origin stories, my favourite episode of them all.Other fanzines mentioned in this podcast: Sniffin' Glue, White Stuff, Bondage, Ripped & Torn, and London's Burning.Find Mark on Instagram.

In this episode, #254 of the XS Noize Podcast, Mark Millar is joined by a true architect of punk — Glen Matlock, the original bassist and founding spark of The Sex Pistols. Glen co-wrote ten of the twelve songs on the band's legendary 1977 album Never Mind the Bollocks, giving its chaos a melodic backbone that helped define an era. Now, he's reclaiming his story in the new documentary I Was a Teenage Sex Pistol — a compelling, filmic portrait of the Pistols' rise told through wry, honest, and often hilarious first-hand accounts. In this conversation, Glen looks back on the bleak yet electric energy of 1970s Britain, the provocations of Malcolm McLaren and Vivienne Westwood's SEX shop, Steve Jones' infamous thieving, and the band's chaotic search for a frontman that would ultimately change music forever. From bust-ups and fan mania to the tabloid outrage that followed, Glen offers a frank and insightful portrait of a group of misfits who tore down the old order — and the cost that came with it. He also talks about the real story behind I Was a Teenage Sex Pistol, co-writing the songs that built Never Mind the Bollocks, the truth about his split from the Sex Pistols, the spirit of early punk culture, fashion and rebellion, and the life lessons learned from one of rock's great survivors. Hear Glen Matlock reflect on the chaos, the craft, the myth — and the man behind it all.

Idag ska vi bege oss in i en värld av läder, latex och piskor. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Eller, rättare sagt – vi ska ta en titt på hur modet samspelar med den subkultur i vilken den typen av fetischer förekommer, BDSM. Inte minst tack vare just mode. Modeskapare som Thierry Mugler, Jean-Paul Gaultier, Versace, Helmut Lang, Alexander McQueen och – förstås – Vivienne Westwood är bara några som har inspirerats av själva stilen, och på så sätt bidragit till att göra den mer mainstream. På årets upplaga av filmfestivalen i Cannes höjdes till exempel ett och annat ögonbryn längs röda mattan när Alexander Skarsgård stövlade in i skjorta, kostym, slips – och lårhöga läderboots. Stövlarna (som även hade vissa likheter med de vadarstövlar som hobbyfiskare bär) kom från Saint Laurent. Att stövlarna var en direkt blinkning till den film han var där att göra PR för, ”Pillion”, var det ingen tvekan om. Skribenten, författaren och fetischisten Anastasiia Fedorova recenserar Skarsgårds BDSM-stil. Det finns de som menar att John Sutcliffe borde vara en minst lika berömd modeskapare som Mary Quant. För även han förändrade modet under 1960-talet i London. Hör om den bortglömda läder och latex-pionjären. När Amanda Romares självbiografiska bok, ”Halva Malmö består av killar som dumpat mig”, nyligen kom ut som tv-serie på Netflix, så syntes Amanda Romare, med sitt entourage, på bilder från premiärfesten hållandes i en liten ridpiska.

After growing up in the north of England British milliner Stephen Jones went on to become a pioneering British hat maker working in Paris. He has been creating avant-garde designs for the last 45 years, inspired by Surrealist art, trailblazing fashions at New Romantic club nights, and cinema. He was friends with pop star Boy George who wore his hats, and he famously created a tweed crown for Vivienne Westwood. Rather than a mere accessory, he aims to transform a hat into a statement of identity, and has collaborated with designers like Jean Paul Gaultier and Dior, helping to revitalise fine hat-making skills inspired by looks from copies of Vogue from the 1940s, 50s and 60s. The prestigious Palais Galliera fashion museum in Paris holds exhibitions every year, showcasing how fashion has evolved from the 18th century to the present day. Its focus is on the most iconic designers and Stephen Jones is one of only two hat makers ever to be included – a huge honour. Rosa Johnston-Flint joins Stephen in Paris as his retrospective is about to close and visits his workshop as he prepares his Spring-Summer 2026 collection for London Fashion Week.

No one tells a story quite like Taylor Swift, and what she wears is one of her greatest tools. This week, we're joined by beauty and red carpet reporter, and co-host of the Gloss Angeles podcast, Kirbie Johnson, to decode how Taylor uses clothes, color, and makeup to build her eras, and how relatability has become her strongest fashion statement. We break down her most iconic style moments - from the red Vivienne Westwood mini to her genius approach to merch and marketing - and how she's rewritten the rulebook for celebrity branding. Plus we chat orange beauty, Cartier watches, friendship bracelets, and what we'd love to see her wear on tour and at her wedding (!!).

Secret filming by the BBC's Panorama programme last night revealed evidence of racism, misogyny and officers revelling in the use of force at one of London's busiest police stations. Panorama's evidence suggests that a toxic culture still exists inside the Met and that racist and misogynistic attitudes haven't been eliminated but have been driven underground. Anita Rani speaks to Matt Jukes, Deputy Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police.The secrets we keep reflect the conventions, taboos and laws of the outside world, and women have traditionally had the bigger burden of secrets, often unable to reveal things that could get them or others judged, in society or by law. Anita talks to Juliet Nicolson about her new book The Book of Revelations which explores secrets through social history, her own family and many case studies she spoke to. The conservationist and primatologist Dame Jane Goodall died yesterday, aged 91. According to the Jane Goodall Institute, she died of natural causes in California where she was staying as part of a speaking tour in the US. There has been tributes from around the world. Joining me Anita to remember this ground-breaking conservationist who revolutionised the study of great apes is wildlife biologist, National Geographic Explorer and President of the Wildlife Trust, Liz Bonnin, and Jillian Miller who is the director of the Gorilla Organisation who work to save gorillas from extinction.From gowns buried underground to transforming fabrics with melted bandages, fashion has a history of exploring the aesthetics of dirt and decay. A new exhibition at the Barbican, Dirty Looks, explores 50 years of designers from Vivienne Westwood to Alexander McQueen, who used dirt and distress to make statements about luxury, beauty, class and the environment. The exhibition also looks at waste as fashion is now one of the most polluting industries in the world. Anita is joined by the exhibition's curator, Karen Van Godtsenhoven, and artist and designer, Michaela Stark, whose work challenges ideas of imperfection.Presenter: Anita Rani Producer: Rebecca Myatt

Mode ist ein knallhartes Geschäft. Die österreichische Modedesignerin Lena Hoschek kennt Erfolg und Scheitern und erzählt tränenreich über die Tücken des Business. Ein Podcast vom Pragmaticus.Das Thema:Dieser Tage beginnen wieder die großen Modeschauen in Paris. Glitzer, Glamour und Tralala. Aber wie sieht es hinter den Kulissen der Fashion-Industrie aus? Die Grazer Modedesignerin Lena Hoschek ist seit 20 Jahren im Geschäft. Mit ihren feminin-trachtigen Kreationen feierte sie internationale Erfolge, baute ein Business mit 60 Mitarbeitenden auf, investierte in Boutiquen sowie E-Commerce. Und scheiterte.   In diesem Podcast erzählt Lena Hoschek, warum sie 2024 Insolvenz anmelden musste, was das alles mit dem Standort Österreich, Geopolitik und globalen Produktionsbedingungen zu tun hat, und warum sie trotzdem weitermacht – ein emotionales Gespräch über Idealismus, Pragmatismus und die Realität. Unser Gast in dieser Folge: Lena Hoschek (44) ist eine österreichische Modedesignerin. Geboren und aufgewachsen in Graz, absolvierte sie ihre Ausbildung in der Modeschule Hetzendorf und ging für ein Praktikum bei Vivienne Westwood nach London. 2005 machte sie sich mit einem eigenen Modelabel selbstständig. Ihr 65 Mitarbeitende zählendes Unternehmen musste 2024 Insolvenz anmelden. Ein Sanierungsplan wurde 2025 angenommen. Sie macht weiter. Ihr Signature-Piece ist der Bänderrock.Dies ist ein Podcast von Der Pragmaticus. Sie finden uns auch auf Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn und X (Twitter).  

Les Fashion Weeks commencent un peu partout dans le monde et avec elles cette question : où sont les femmes ? Sur les podiums, elles sont omniprésentes, mais en coulisses, les hommes qui dirigent les grandes maisons de couture sont beaucoup plus nombreux. Dans les dernières sélections de directeurs artistiques, seuls deux noms de femmes émergent contre une dizaine d'hommes – et bien peu de diversité. Laure Manent s'entretient avec la journaliste mode Saveria Mendella, créatrice du podcast "Les gens de la mode" pour comprendre si l'époque des créatrices illustres comme Coco Chanel, Elsa Schiaparelli ou Vivienne Westwood est révolu et ce qui fait la différence entre la mode créée par un homme et celle imaginée par une femme.

Als eine der ersten Fotoreporterinnen bereiste Pia Zanetti die Welt. Eine Pionierin nennen mag sie sich trotzdem nicht. Lieber erzählt sie von den Menschen, die sie in den letzten 60 Jahren kennengelernt und fotografiert hat – von Musikern über Minenarbeiter bis zu Vivienne Westwood und Max Frisch. Wenn Pia Zanetti mit ihrer Kamera unterwegs ist, hat sie ein Ziel vor Augen: «Den Stolz, die Intelligenz, die Schönheit der Menschen zu zeigen.» Das galt für die afroamerikanischen Jazzmusiker, zu denen sie sich als 18-Jährige an einem Konzert in Basel mit einem Trick Zugang verschaffte. Die Frauen in Mexiko, die bei der Arbeit auf dem Feld ihre Kinder auf dem Rücken trugen und Zanetti darüber nachdenken liessen, was es für sie selbst bedeuten würde, Mutter zu sein. Die Bewohnerinnen und Bewohner eines indischen Dorfes, die die Traurigkeit eines Schweizer Volksliedes kaum ertragen konnten. Die Fotografie habe ihr Türen geöffnet: «Ich finde es einmalig, dass man dank dieses Berufs an Orte kommt, wo man sonst nie hingehen würde.» Angetrieben von ihrer Neugierde und einem starken Gerechtigkeitssinn produzierte Pia Zanetti – oft gemeinsam mit ihrem Mann Gerardo, einem Journalisten – Fotoreportagen für renommierte Magazine. «Ich habe mich immer gefragt: Wie kann ich vermitteln, wie die Menschen leben, was das Leben ist?» So dokumentierte Zanetti auch politische und soziale Zustände, die sie selbst fassungslos zurückliessen. Etwa die Apartheid in Südafrika; die «whites only»-Schilder an den Badestränden, das Billigfleisch in den Metzgereien, das für die Angestellten bestimmt war – «und das man hier nicht einmal einem Tier vorsetzen würde». Doch auch Porträts von berühmten Persönlichkeiten wie Max Frisch, der Designerin Vivienne Westwood oder des Regisseurs Federico Fellini gehören zu ihren Arbeiten. Festgehalten sind sie in ihrem neuen Buch, das im Verlag «Edizioni Periferia» erschienen ist und als eines der schönsten Schweizer Bücher des Jahres 2023 ausgezeichnet wurde. Wenige Tage vor ihrem 81. Geburtstag blickt Pia Zanetti in «Musik für einen Gast» auf ihr reiches, erfülltes Leben zurück – und nach vorne, auf alles, was es noch bringen mag. Die Musiktitel: - Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers – No hay problema - Fatima Dunn – Anneli, wo bisch geschter gsi - Lucio Dalla – Piazza Grande - Pink Martini – Amado mio - Mercedes Sosa – Gracias a la vida Erstsendung: 23.06.2024

This is a re-release of my episode from last year with Roger K Burton. Roger sadly passed away recently. I decided to make this episode free so more people can here his story and honour his memory. Roger was a huge influence in British Subculture. The best thing about when I spoke to Roger was that after I started to meet different people in London whose lives had all at one point been touched by him, people who worked for him at in the 80s, 90s up until recently, and hearing there fond memories of him.Roger is a Costume Designer, Stylist, Collector, Curator and Author. His book Rebel threads (which I can't recommend more) takes you through the youth subcultures that were happening in the UK during the 20th century alongside amazing photographs and his own personal recollections within them. He founded Contemporary Wardrobe where many creatives, stylists, designers rent from his clothing archive which coexists with his exhibition space the Horse Hospital, a space so many diverse and underground artists have shown their work.In this episode Roger speaks on subcultures, recounts being a Mod in the 1960s, the punk era in 70s, creating the shop designs for Vivienne Westwood's World's End store on the Kings Road in Chelsea, his journey collecting and selling vintage, opening Contemporary Wardrobe and the Horse Hospital, Costume Designing the cult classic films Hackers and Quadrophenia, styling fashion and music icon David Bowie, the fashion scene today and so much more. Roger was truly one of a kind

This week, I sat down with the founder of LOHO Bride - the most sought-after bridal shop in Los Angeles and a haven for brides who are true fashion lovers. Long before bridal became a runway moment, Christy Baird created a space for a made-to-order, fashion-forward bridal experience and was an early supporter of now-iconic names like Danielle Frankel and Vivienne Westwood. We talk about the bridal industry's major boom, the rise of multi-look wedding weekends, and why so many ready-to-wear designers are entering their “bridal era.” We also talk about the biggest trends in bridal, from veils to the scarf dress, and her best advice for shopping for the big day.Get 20% an annual membership of my new substack Let's Get Dressed here https://letsgetdressed.substack.com/lgdLove the show?

My guest on this week's Book Club podcast is the historian Alice Loxton, whose new book is Eighteen: A History of Britain in 18 Young Lives. In it, she tells the story of young individuals as disparate as the Venerable Bede and Vivienne Westwood. On the podcast, she explains how she selected which characters to include and why – in a post-Rest is History world, where history is more exciting and accessible than ever – there is still a place for the fusty old historians.

My guest on this week's Book Club podcast is the historian Alice Loxton, whose new book Eighteen: A History of Britain in 18 Young Lives is just out in paperback. In it, she tells the story of the early lives of individuals as disparate as the Venerable Bede and Vivienne Westwood. On the podcast, Alice tells me about Geoffrey Chaucer's racy past, what Bede was like before he was venerable, and why her editor wouldn't let her take her characters to Pizza Express. She also reassures me that – in a post-Rest is History world, where history is more exciting and accessible than ever – there is still a place for the fusty old historians. Hosted on Acast.

Juano Diaz was taken in to care aged six, his mother was battling alcoholism and he wasn't being cared for. But Juano missed his mum and with no photos of her, he became obsessed by drawing her face so he wouldn't forget her. He was later adopted by a strict Catholic and Romany Gypsy family but when he came out as gay he was asked to leave. Now down-and-out on the streets of Glasgow, with his life spiralling, he started to search for his mother again. He would scan faces in the crowds, draw his own face to explore his features, feminise them to look more like his mum and soon he discovered his talent for portraiture. Today, he paints the faces of modern icons: Pharell Williams, Madonna, Vivienne Westwood. This would lead to artistic success and a very different lifestyle – including a friendship with Grace Jones and ultimately a whole new family.Juano's memoir is called Slum Boy.Presenter: Mobeen Azhar Producer: Andrea KennedyGet in touch: liveslessordinary@bbc.co.uk or WhatsApp: 0044 330 678 2784
