Carla Sozzani turned creative projects with Azzedine Alaïa, Rei Kawakubo and Paolo Roversi into family-driven partnerships. Her editing eye and visionary mind attracted Byronesque to propose a passion project on fashion retail and images. Byronesque conceived Sozzani letting go of select Alaïa, Ghesquière and Demna Balenciaga, Junya Watanabe and Comme des Garçons pieces for a retail initiative whose proceeds benefit her non-profit Fondazione Sozzani organization. In discussion fashion critic M-C Hill, she reveals her fashion designer ‘triptych,’ what Rei Kawakubo really likes and how Azzedine Alaïa once got her fired from Elle Magazine.

Olivier Rousteing shows that nothing looks better than confidence. His openness on social media helped his Balmain era find its army. Balmain was Olivier and Olivier was Balmain. He helped shift Balmain away from a fashion audience to pop culture ones. Kim Kardashian never scared him. Neither did ambition. Nor did balancing kindness with craftsmanship. In an incredibly forthright conversation with Lou Stoppard, Olivier Rousteing explains it all. This interview took place 10 April 2015. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Above all else, what's most important to designer Molly Goddard is that people experience the same level of fun as she does when wearing one of her signature tulle creations. 'It's about wearing a feeling rather than a garment' she tells Lou Stoppard in this episode of In Fashion. Tracing her days as a student under Louise Wilson to making her mark in an industry she's made entirely her own, Goddard touches on her early love for Galliano, the importance of failure and how her own childhood costumes have gone on to inform the maximalist aesthetic that enriches her brand. This interview took place on 18 October, 2017. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
