StyleZeitgeist Podcast

We discuss the incredible life of Malcolm McLaren, the (mis)manager of the Sex Pistols, the enabler and partner of Vivienne Westwood, and an all around agent of creative chaos, with Paul Gorman, the author of the new biography The Life and Times of Malcolm McLaren.

In this episode Eugene talks with Sam Lobban, the VP of designer mens and womens at Nordstrom, about his love of fashion and about his journey from a 15-year-old North London shop-floor kid who spent all his salary on Stone Island, to going on buying trips to Paris for Selfridges at the ripe age of 18 for Raf Simons and Undercover, to bringing obscure Japanese brands as the head of menswear at Mr. Porter, to infusing Nordstrom with his unique vision.Support the show

Not everyone knows that StyleZeitgeist began as a forum dedicated to the menswear avant-garde, helping form it into a cultural phenomenon. In many ways the iconic menswear boutique Atelier did in retail space what we did in cyberspace, so it seemed fitting to go back to our roots early on in the life of this podcast by chatting with Karlo Steel, Atelier's co-founder.Support the show
