EP227: The Architecture of Menswear: Craft, Community & Vision ft. Carolyn Massey

In todays episode, we sit down with Carolyn Massey, the pioneering British menswear designer whose thoughtful, detail driven work helped shape the early landscape of London Fashion Week Men's (formerly MAN). As one of the first designers to be featured in this new wave of menswear showcases, Carolyn brought a fresh, intelligent perspective to the industry at a pivotal moment. Carolyn opens up about her multifaceted career, from establishing her own label to working with and designing for major brands. She discusses how these experiences broadened her understanding of craft, production, and the realities of the fashion business. At the heart of our conversation is something deeply important to her: community. We explore how Carolyn worked to build a supportive, inclusive menswear network during a time when the scene was still emerging and why connection and shared vision have always been central to her practice. Join us for an insightful and inspiring discussion about creativity, industry transformation, and the power of community in shaping the future of menswear.
