There’s a whole world of fabric, business, and creativity that exists beyond the runway show. Monocle on Fashion from Monocle Radio is your access to that world, guided by the publication’s fashion director, Natalie Theodosi. This isn’t just about seasonal trends; it’s a considered look at the forces shaping the industry, from manufacturing and retail to design and cultural impact. Each episode feels like a direct conversation, whether Natalie is sitting down with a visionary designer for a substantial interview, unpacking a piece of breaking fashion news with context, or filing a special report from a pivotal trade fair. The podcast regularly takes you behind the velvet rope and into the real workrooms, offering sonic visits to historic ateliers and emerging studios alike. You’ll get a grounded, intelligent perspective on everything from the global fashion week circuit to the craftsmanship defining tomorrow’s labels. For anyone who views fashion as a serious global industry and a dynamic art form, this series provides the depth and access often missing from the conversation. Tune in for a more nuanced understanding of what we wear and why it matters.
