    Episode 40 – Answering Your Questions – Part 2

    This 40th episode is the last part of the season two finale, and I wanted to turn the interview format around and answer some questions about my work, so I asked some friends, colleagues, former podcast guests, and other listeners to send in some questions they would like me to answer on the podcast. I’d like to thank everyone who sent me their questions for this episode. And I want to thank all listeners for supporting this podcast! Chic Podcast will be back after a break for another season.

    Episode 39 – Answering Your Questions – Part 1

    The 39th episode is the first part of season two finale, and I decided to invite some friends, colleagues, and former podcast guests to send in some questions for me to answer on the last two episodes. I asked them to ask anything about the podcast, my work, anything about fashion sustainability, decoloniality, innovation, or education. Or anything they are interested in and would like me to engage with. So, here are their questions and my responses.

    Episode 38 – Moussa Mchangama from In Futurum

    The 38th episode was recorded remotely with Moussa Mchangama, during Copenhagen Fashion Week in February 2022. Moussa is the co-founder of the sustainability consultancy In Futurum, with Frederik Larsen, (whom I talked to on this podcast in the first season, in episode 10). They are based in Copenhagen and are responsible for the sustainability agenda adopted by Copenhagen Fashion Week since 2020. Moussa kindly agreed to join one of my fashion courses this semester and talk about his work, and to help the future generation of fashion students understand how they can bring sustainability and ethics into the fashion industry. In what follows, you will hear a condensed version of our conversation during his guest talk.

    The 36th episode was recorded with my dear friend Jason Cyrus, whose new exhibition History Is Rarely Black or White just opened at the Agnes Etherington Art Center at Queens University in Kingston, Ontario, Canada.

    Episode 35 – Angela Jansen, founder of RCDF

    The 35th episode was recorded remotely with Angela Jansen, who is the founder of the Research Collective for Decoloniality and Fashion (RCDF). She is an independent researcher, educator, consultant, curator, and the author of Moroccan Fashion: Design, Tradition and Modernity (2014), co-editor with Jennifer Craik of Modern Fashion Traditions: Negotiating Tradition and Modernity Through Fashion(2016). She is also the guest co-editor with Toby Slade of the special issue of Fashion Theory on “Decoloniality and Fashion” (2020). Her scholarship grows out of an ongoing critique of Eurocentric fashion. She argues that the way fashion as a noun has come to refer to a temporality of contemporaneity, or a system of inequality and an industry of capitalism particular to modernity, is intrinsic to its discriminating, exploitive, and destructive nature. While fashion as a verb, the act of fashioning the body, is of all times and places. Systems of fashioning “outside of modernity” are deliberately and systematically discriminated against, silenced, and erased. In 2012, she initiated RCDF to experiment with decolonial ways of knowledge-creation and sharing – through conversation, through the communal and coalitional, and through a broad diversity of voices across age, race, gender, education, discipline, and geography.

    Episode 34 – Decolonizing Fashion Studies – Guest Lecture at the Royal Academy of Copenhagen

    The 34th episode was recorded remotely during my presentation at the Royal Academy of Copenhagen, when I was invited to give a guest lecture on decolonizing fashion education for Else Skjold’s new MA program in sustainable fashion in October 2020. You will hear most of my presentation, but it ends a little abruptly with the question, “where do we go from here?” which I posed to the students during the discussion period, which is not included in this recording. Of course, this is an enduring question that I have been working on in my research, teaching, and publications. So, let’s consider this just the beginning of an on-going conversation of how to make fashion education more just, how to bridge decoloniality and sustainability, and how to reform the fashion industry.

    Episode 33 – Digital Multilogue on Fashion Education – Workshop on Fashion Paradoxes

    The 33rd episode was recorded at the Digital Multilogue on Fashion Education Conference, where my co-author Tanja Gotthardsen and I organized a workshop on Fashion Paradoxes. As you know, I work in fashion education, and Tanja, who was a guest on this podcast at the end of season one, works very closely with the industry, consulting and educating both the producers and consumers of fashion on ethics and sustainability. Together we have been investigating the Danish fashion industry for the past year, and our research is currently in the process of being published. We have identified and developed 7 paradoxes within the sustainable fashion sector that we outlined in this workshop. Our goal is to create greater transparency and encourage more collaborative work in tackling the current challenges and paradoxes of fashion.
