Aligning with the mission of the Institute of Positive Fashion (IPF), the podcasts are designed to help the British fashion industry lead in the goal “to be more resilient and circular through global collaboration and local action”.

Centred around the three Pillars of the IPF — Environment, People and Community & Craftsmanship — each episode shares “personal experiences as well as discussing the biggest issues in fashion today relating to areas such as positive change, diversity, sustainability, education, culture, and technology”. 

Previous series, first released in December 2020, have included Stella McCartney and Alex Fury discussing positive environmental change in fashion, Tommy Hilfiger and Jo Ellison talking about his brand’s work around inclusivity, equal opportunities and environmental initiatives; and Campbell Addy and Gabriella Karefa-Johnson speaking about breaking boundaries and the power of the collaborative spirit. 

The latest podcast is available to listen to on the londonfashionweek website, Acast, Apple Podcasts, Spotify and Google Podcasts.
