menSwear by a Woman

In this episode, my conversation is with Giulio Miglietta's well-known Embroider in menswear. Giulio began started his business in 2016 and has established his name in menswear, working with well-known artists to brands. His life story, which I didn't mention, is a huge inspiration. Every part of his embroidery is well thought out, from developing the design to seeing the real work. His craftsmanship is at such a high standard, and his knowledge about his craft and the machines that he had searched for as they are hugle very rare. His work is truly special, inspirational, and hugely interesting. Join me in this conversation with Giulio, knowing about how he became one of the most talented, knowledgeable Embroider of Menswear.

When you become a Master in your art, you go through things to become one. Mohsin, I would have to say, is a huge treasure for the UK in having someone who knows so much about Denim. Not only does he know about the design sides, but he also has a huge knowledge of the technical coming from Patter cutting to machinery to fabrics. His knowledge of the history on denim is something else you must listen cause on the Masters go that far to give back that kind of knowledge.

An episode celebrating the "100" episode. I talked about the episodes of the guests and how the podcast has changed my view and made me learn more about menSwear even more. The struggles and obstacles that made me feel that it was worth it to actually words "Don't Fit In" was a huge blessing! Here's to the future and, more importantly, carrying on with the podcast 💛 Sarmilla.

This episode I have a conversation with Matt Kitto, founder of Sierra & South Handmade Hats. I never knew how such craft is very limited, but at the same time, a hat makes such an entrance that it over takes clothing! Matt explains how this craftsmanship has very limited skilled people actually in the trade and how himself and others are trying to gain more awareness. As Matt says, "There's a Hat for Everyone," his totally right! I'm very intrigued in getting a hat now, but at some time, it will mean much more as I understand as there are only 3 people in the country that makes Hats the way Matt does!

This episode I was totally thrilled to speak with Shezzane Mozumder, founder of Dapper Bespoke, based in Bangladesh in the capital of Dhaka. I was totally inspired by the craftsmanship. When I first saw the Dapper Bespoke and Shezzane images on Instagram, I was convinced it was either based in Italy or other parts of the world but never thought it was based in Bangladesh just shows how we have been convinced in thinking certain countries are only known for their Fast Fashion Factories only! How wrong was I! On this conversation Shezzane joins me in introducing how Sartorial is taking high steps in Bangladesh, how his father took the very first steps in introducing Sartorial way of dressing, how he himself became influenced into taking his steps from his father into the world of Sartorialist journey thriving extraordinaire heights and tasting the success in changing a generation.

Last year, I recorded an episode with Mark Warman, the founder of Barnfield Customs, which was lost through technical issues. I decided to invite Mark to come and record again. Mark who's worked in digital marketing and had his own company in Marketing was not a stranger to entrepreneur, came up with an idea of reventing his grandfather army jacket, so he set on the journey in doing that. It was fascinating to chat with Mark, who doesn't come from a menswear background but has taken onboard the challenges that some of us know who are in the trade know how things work and of course the challenges and obstacles that we all face. After a year, I went back to talking to him, I found out how he developed and journeyed to get a jacket in the sense of a perfect functional product. But on going on the obstacles and challenges he went through, it was his 100% determination and passion for his brand.

Illustration is an art that some of us, well, most of us have it in us. But when you become an artistic illustrator in menswear, it's a totally different level to the rest of the illustrators. Join me in a conversation with one of the well-known artistic illustrators in menswear Wesley Robinson of Wes Art, who has worked with many menswear brands. Wesley Illustration for Drakes is probably that stands out the most for me his illustrations are so different from the other menswear illustrators. The flare and style he has in his menswear illustrations are what I would say very artistic.
