Show Notes

In this episode you meet Alistair O’Neill, writer, curator and professor of Fashion History and Theory at Central Saint Martins in London. His research concerns the role of material and making, and the representation of contemporary fashion culture. He fosters practice-led theory teaching and a mutually beneficial culture between education, curation and industry. Fashion is a great teacher talks to him about: the importance of understanding fashion through its making, about aptitude and appetite, and five pieces of stapled A4 paper as the perfect object to explain sustainable fashion to the public.
