In the past several years, podcasts have become a popular platform for sharing a range of information and discussing many topics with millions of listeners worldwide. Fortunately for us, there are many fashion podcasts that talk about the industry and share their love for it with their audience, so get ready to download and listen! Here are five podcasts that discuss everything you would want to know about fashion, from the history of clothes and the stories of New York Fashion Week to how to get your dream internship.
FASHION NO FILTER
We all have our daydreams about working in the fashion industry, but what is it really like? Two fashion journalists, Camille Charriere and Monica Ainley cover the most compelling stories from inside the industry and share real experiences from real experts (and spoiler alert, it's just as exciting as you think it would be). On Fashion No Filter, stories are told with great detail and from many unique perspectives, so be prepared to hear it all! Learn about the rise of street style, what it's like to be a celebrity stylist and the possibilities for the future of fashion itself.
IN VOGUE: THE 1990s
The slip dress, corsets, bucket hats, the '90s were an exciting and even essential time for fashion. That decade in particular had many trends that keep resurfacing and this podcast will explain why. In this short series, host Hamish Bowles and experts from Vogue reminisce about 90's fashion and discuss how impactful it was. You will hear the origin stories of the trends that came about, like grunge or the immensely popular "it bags," and even how pop culture had a significant part in all of it.
DRESSED: HISTORY OF FASHION
Fashion is not only a part of our daily lives, but it's also a part of our history. Clothes have always had significant impacts on everything: society, our national origins, and even politics. Fashion historians April Callahan and Cassidy Zachary share with listeners the history of our clothes. And do not worry, it is not a boring history lesson (if that is what you are thinking). Every episode has a unique story that you will surely learn something new when you listen. Hear the story about the Chanel logo and how it came to be, the history of glitter and even the origins of fashion for Olympic athletes.
LIFE OF A FASHION STUDENT
It may seem obvious what this podcast is about, but it is a fantastic listen. Kristina Ang, a student at Parsons School of Design, began her podcast in early 2020 to share her experiences as a fashion student and a fashion intern. Think of this podcast as your fashion big sister & mentor. She shares all the good and sometimes bad experiences of being a fashion student, living in New York City, and attending fashion week. Also, you can find lots of helpful information on how to land your dream internship, tips on staying creatively motivated, and advice on how to balance work, school, and personal projects.
