Hearing creative director Matthew Williams define what Been Trill is certainly encapsulates a certain pre-streetwear, pre-hashtag zeitgeist in fashion. These temporary spells of ideas created on a critical, but ratchet, playground were the early arenas for Matthew Williams’ authentic passion projects. Williams and Lou Stoppard talk about a formula in childhood that factored how football, Nike logos, denim production and job termination lead to good things, like trusting his own voice. This is how visions converge in an interview that took place 31 January 2014.

Glen Luchford looks back upon a life that could have gone only two ways, according to his mum’s psychic. In a particularly lively edition of In Fashion, Luchford uses humour to seduce listeners by sharing stories on shooting the Stone Roses, or was it Guns N’ Roses? Shampoo was Luchford’s key to unlocking a job in photography. It helped elevate his suburban existence one step above the banal. That is Glen Luchford’s criteria for a great fashion image — make it anything but dull. And so that is what he did in life. His relentlessly precocious thing helps too. This interview took place 27 April 2015.

Tim Blanks reflects on a career that never had any plan in this episode of In Fashion. Maybe it started with the allure of sex and decadence from Andy Warhol’s Factory. It certainly continued with weird music and animation jobs in other stages. Blanks shares how finding fashion as the place where spectacle is important, was important to him. From hair to music to stripped down garment runway, all those qualities tie into Tim Blanks’ essential checklist. He explains why he does what he does, why he continues to remain and why facilitating the information about great moments from greater talent is most important. This interview took place 16 Nov 2012.
