How does a background in costume design shape the way you approach fashion?

In this episode, Sasha (MA Fashion Design for Planet) shares her journey from studying costume design for performance at London College of Fashion to working with fashion in a more production-focused and system-oriented context at DSKD.

Starting from designing garments to express character and narrative, she reflects on how that perspective carries into fashion, while also adapting to new considerations like materials, scalability, and production. We explore the differences between bespoke costume work and fashion design for larger systems, and what that shift means for both creativity and decision-making.

Sasha also shares insights from her internship in a production department, where she worked with fit, pattern adjustments, and garment development, offering a closer look at how clothes are refined before reaching the final stage.

Together, we unpack the complexity behind clothing, the many roles within the fashion industry, and why understanding the full process is essential for designers today.

If you're curious about fashion beyond the surface, this episode offers a grounded and honest perspective.

What does it look like to be part of a fashion design team as an intern?

In this episode, Julia (MA Design for Planet, Fashion Design) shares her experience working at a Berlin-based streetwear brand, where she contributed across both design and production. Her role included developing concepts, working with materials, participating in fittings, and supporting the creation of Fashion Week presentations.

We explore how creative processes unfold in small, hands-on teams, how responsibility becomes part of the learning experience, and what it means to contribute to real-world projects as a student. Julia also reflects on her experiences with Fashion Weeks in Berlin and Harbin, offering insight into different approaches to show production and collaboration.

For anyone interested in fashion design, creative processes, or how collections and runway shows are developed, this episode offers a closer look at the industry through a student perspective.
