Great insight into the fashion industry
I love this podcast! Hosted by two lovely women who work as pattern makers in the fashion industry in London. Every episode is so interesting, I love hearing about the details of their work and other things that pertain to technical fashion design.
Fantastic!
I was an apparel student years ago. Never wanted to enter the field professionally, but I am always keen to learn more and continue my education.
