The Conversations

How Much Did We Love Black Panther?

In this episode we have an impromptu conversation about Black Panther, including Henrietta’s very immediate reaction to the movie. There’s so much more to say and breakdown - but we were mindful of the fact that you don’t have all day!

A Conversation With Kibwe Chase-Marshall: Does Fashion Have a Black People Problem?

On this episode we’re happy to be joined by talented writer, designer Kibwe Chase-Marshall to talk about the race issues in fashion, namely the lack of black people in Creative / Design Directors and executive / decision making / gate-keeping roles. We also discuss some steps to reconciling them. The problems are so nuanced and complex and so are the solutions - but we all need to keep having the conversation and do the work.

It’s well worth reading Kibwe’s Business of Fashion op-ed that sparked our conversation and my piece that was partially inspired by it:

Why Aren't There More Black Designers?

Fashion Has a Black People Problem

A Conversation With Rebecca Arnold: On Documenting Fashion.

Happy new year! We’re so excited about this week's episode of The Conversations, coming to you from London, where we had the pleasure of speaking to Rebecca Arnold - editor, author, curator and Senior Lecturer in History of Dress and Textiles and Documenting Fashion at the prestigious Courtauld Institute of Art.

Here we posed the question: It’s said that you can see the psychology of the times in and via fashion - so how is the psychology of this era defined?

We hope you enjoy our conversation with one of fashion’s brightest minds, so much so that you give us a 5 star raiting :)

Special thanks to Rebecca for joining us. If you’re not already, we highly recommend you follow her Instagram @documentingfashion_courtauld! 

Have Men in Hip Hop Reached a New Level of Sartorial Influence?

This question was not officially posed, however, that’s the general premise of this weeks episode of The Conversations. Back in July we discussed Jason’s enthusiasm over what he’s been observing and excited about in men’s dressing over the past 2-4 years within the genre. As usual, we agree on some, disagree on others and always pull from two ends.

Ps. If you’re enjoying our podcast and want to support, we’d so appreciate a 5 star rating :)

Is Fashion in a State of Disintegration?

Welcome to The Conversations and our inaugural podcast - with Jason Campbell and Henrietta Gallina. Over the summer, we started this podcast as a means to document our frequent conversations about fashion and culture. We're hoping to develop and evolve our outlook throughout this process and speak to others who can help to inform and push our conversations forward. We're just two friends with a lot opinions and we hope you enjoy and participate in The Conversations.

For our first podcast we attempt to tackle the heady question: Is Fashion In A State Of Disintegration? This is just one snapshot of our thoughts, we'll absolutely be revising this again. We did forget to mention to make sure you subscribe to our podcast and if you don't hate what you hear, a 5 star rating will be so much appreciated :)
