Hello #TUCPodcast🌱 Listeners, welcome back to another episode where I’m joined with two fashion and creative industry experts: Vera Lúcia Mendes (@veralumendes) - a “fashion designer who writes about fashion” and the Founder of “The Fashion Standup” (@thefashionstandup) - an independent fashion publication 📝💻 as well as Brand Strategist Claudiu Ciumbotaru (@worldofclaudiu), Co-Founder of Créatif (a Paris & London-based Creative Agency).
💫 On this episode: Both fashion/creative experts lend us their professional insights and opinions on the recent AW25 Fashion Week in Lisbon/Lisboa, Paris and London 🌎
💫 With Vera: We talk about Fashion Journalism, Lisboa Fashion Week, Accessibility in the Fashion World, Independent designers, Gen Z attitudes (in the creative industries & their approaches to building brands/fashion brands), ‘fashion/social media virality'📱, Feminism, Fashion & Politics 🙌 Jane Fonda’s amazing #SAGAwards speech (“Empathy is not weak or woke. By the way, woke just means you give a - about other people" 💭🗣️
💫 With Claudiu [TIME STAMP Pt. 2: 45:26], we speak all about his insights into the Paris vs. London fashion landscapes (esp. during Fashion Week), what it means “to be creative” / “what creativity” actually means (from an industry perspective), the importance of “responsibility” + “corporate responsibility” 🧳🎨 He also speaks on brand, No 44 - a sustainable denim brand with the mission “Denim without compromise” 👖- upending a renewable/upcycling programme with their denim designs: No 44 Renew ✨
