Couture on camera with Phantom Thread

Author: The Telegraph January 31, 2018 Duration: 35:05
As soon as we heard about Phantom Thread, director Paul Thomas Anderson's film about an obsessive midcentury London couturier, we knew we'd have to see it as soon as possible. So how does it stack up? Join Emily Cronin, Lisa Armstrong, Bethan Holt and Sonia Haria to hear all about the couture, the crazy and Daniel Day Lewis's excellent socks. Plus, why the Duchess of Cambridge's tour wardrobe matters (humour us), what we're ticking off our to-do lists before show season and why February is the ideal time to really commit to your 2018 beauty resolutions. (January: just too dire!)

Fashion Unzipped, brought to you by The Telegraph, is a conversation about the clothes we wear and the stories they tell. This isn't a lecture on hemlines or a dry analysis of trends; it's a lively exploration of an industry that shapes culture, identity, and our everyday lives. Each episode delves into the forces shaping what ends up in our closets, from the glittering pressure of the runway to the practical realities of the high street. You'll hear thoughtful discussions that bridge the gap between artistic expression and commercial reality, examining fashion as both a creative pursuit and a global business. The tone is inquisitive and accessible, designed for anyone curious about the meaning behind the material. In this podcast, you can expect to find interviews with a diverse range of voices-designers, journalists, historians, and innovators-who provide unique perspectives on beauty, craftsmanship, and consumerism. The dialogue moves seamlessly from the history of a specific garment to the future of sustainable design, always with a focus on the human element behind the seams. It’s a space where haute couture is discussed with the same engaging curiosity as a beloved vintage find. By listening, you join a nuanced discussion that respects fashion's impact while never taking itself too seriously. Fashion Unzipped unpacks the layers of this dynamic world, offering listeners a deeper understanding that goes far beyond the surface.
