Front Row To Front Bench Podcast (Fashion Roundtable)

The Board at Best for Britain is chaired by Lord Kim Darroch, is the former UK Ambassador to the United States and previous advisor to the Prime Minister on European Affairs

This podcast discusses Naomi's fascinating transition from working in the corporate sector as an accountant, into her stark career change into political leadership, showing that it is never too late for someone with a calling to follow their ambitions and use their voice as an agent for change.

It also discusses Naomi's decision to launch the UK Trade and Business Commission, co chaired by Peter Norris Chair of the Virgin Group and Hilary Benn MP, with a cross-section of MPs from all political parties and business leaders, including Tamara who represents the fashion industry.

An interesting conversation about Brexit impacts, female leadership and internationalist values in a recent trip that Naomi and the Commission took to Northern Ireland, seeing the reality of red tape on the ground and offering her vision for what an inclusive, internationalist truly global Britain could be.

In conversation with Dominique Muller from NGO Labour Behind the Label. Labour Behind The Label exposed the Leicester garment manufacturing scandal leading to a national outcry at the pay and working conditions of some in our UK supply chain, leading to a clear commitment by brands, local and national government to change these practices.

An honest and thought-provoking conversation – Public Policy Editor Peter Foster of the Financial Times, speaks with Tamara Cincik about his book, ‘What Went Wrong With Brexit: And What We Can Do About It’. 

Foster is one of the few editors who is tracking Brexit and the ever adjusting life after the single market. A fashion-centred conversation of what leaving has meant for business; the realities of the barriers to trade; the confrontational relationship which ‘Brexit at all costs’ has created between ministers, civil servants and industry; and the need for policymakers to make decisions based on the reality of the issues that industry as a whole is facing. 

Finally, while there’s no quick fix, Foster describes the importance of the relationships that are negotiated moving forward with the EU and the call for transparency about the trade-offs that come with trade deals.

For this episode of the Front Row to Front Bench podcast, Tamara Cincik speaks with writer, fashion critic and curator Charlie Porter about his new book, ‘Bring No Clothes: Bloomsbury and the Philosophy of Fashion' published by Penguin Random House. 

Charlie is one of the most influential fashion journalists of his time, and has written for the likes of the Guardian and iD magazine, as well as co-running the London queer rave Chapter 10. 

The book, rather wonderfully, uses clothing as a way to look at six iconic Bloomsbury figures, while seamlessly addressing the evolution of how we dress today. This leads on to the fact that clothing can be an intellectual and sexual liberation, or conversely an instrument for patriarchal power.

The book came about after Charlie was asked to curate an exhibition called ‘Bring No Clothes: Bloomsbury and Fashion,’ at Charleston in Lewes. Through the inaugural exhibition Charlie explored the dynamic relationship between the Bloomsbury group. Here, clothing provided a route into learning more about the key figures in the Bloomsbury group and how, for some, fashion provided a language with which to explore their break away from tradition. This ultimately fed into the process of researching and writing his book. 

The conversation centres around the beginnings of the Bloomsbury group, who were at the vanguard of a social and sartorial revolution. Virgina Woolfe and her sister Vanessa Bell escaped to Bloomsbury from an oppressive and abusive upbringing, rejecting the fashions of the time for something new and this is unpicked. 

Homosocialism comes into the conversation where Charlie discusses his own experience of being gay from a working class background, and connecting this to E. M Forster and his struggle to be gay. The connection between Isabella Blow and Lady Ottoline Morrell is also explored by Tamara and the similarities of how they hosted and nurtured talent, but were mocked relentlessly. 

Finally, Charlie and Tamara talk about Vanessa Bell and the way she made her own clothes and how this has played out in a life-changing way for Charlie where he now makes his own clothes with a new philosophy of living and consuming fashion.

Fashion Roundtable's Tamara Cincik is in conversation with Jane Shepherdson CBE

Jane Shepherdson CBE is a British retail veteran, overseeing the rise of Topshop in the late 90s early 00s, she went on to revitalise charity shopping at Oxfam, to Whistles, and is now championing the rental fashion model at My Wardrobe HQ.

For this episode of the Front Row to Front Bench podcast, Tamara Cincik speaks with Lola Young, Baroness Young of Hornsey, a crossbench peer in the House of Lords about the release of her memoir 'Eight Weeks', published by Penguin.

Eight Weeks is a deeply moving and inspiring memoir that tells the remarkable life story of Baroness Young of Hornsey, from her childhood in foster care, to becoming one of the first Black women in the House of Lords.

Lola Young has been an actress, an academic, an activist and campaigner for social justice, and a crossbench peer. But from the age of eight weeks to eighteen years, she was moved between foster care placements and children's homes in North London. It would take many decades before she was able to begin the search for answers to the long-standing questions that would help her make sense of her childhood.

In Eight Weeks, through her care records, fragments of memory, and her imagination where parts of her story are missing, Lola assembles the pieces of her past into a portrait of a childhood in a system that often made her feel invisible and unwanted. Alongside glimpses into her life as a peer, activist, and campaigner it tells the powerful story of her determination to defy the odds.

Eight Weeks is a spirited, eye-opening and beautifully written account of being a child in care and a Black child in a white family and is a vital part of contemporary Black British history.

For this podcast, Tamara Cincik from Fashion Roundtable speaks to Carolyn Harris MP about her working class background, what it means to be a working class Welsh woman in the Houses of Parliament, her vital work as the leading voice lobbying the government on the issues facing women and the menopause. 

Carolyn's work on this issue cannot be underestimated and her insights on the impacts for generations of women who have been misdiagnosed or ignored, are powerful.

She also speaks about her path to a leadership role, while remaining grounded and the other campaigns, including food poverty and gambling, that Carolyn is also working hard on. 

For key insights into effective politics with common sense and authenticity at its core, this is an important conversation.

In 2019, Alden Wicker was asked to comment on a lawsuit that was being filed by a Delta flight attendant against Lands’ End, because the newly introduced uniform had caused a myriad of health issues, such as skin rashes, shortness of breath, hair loss, anaphylaxis and in one instance death. 

 In her book, ‘To Dye For’, award-winning journalist and sustainability expert, Alden Wicker, decided to break the story of unregulated toxic chemicals in fashion and their impacts on health and wellbeing. 

 Historically, in The Victorian era, women garment workers dyed fabrics using arsenic green dyes, and the blame lay on the women for consuming this fashion and not the men who owned the factories or dye houses. Skip forward to this century and the issue remains the same. In her research, Alden discovered the patriarchal issue that almost all of the experts and consultants were male, when it is the women who are far more likely to be affected by the toxins that are in fashion in every way. 

What follows is a candid conversation about how dyes can affect our immune systems; how this affects women far more – from those working in fashion, to those consuming fashion, and those in caretaking roles of children with ailments such as asthma. In the US, endocrine disruptors were found in school uniforms, and so Alden talks in detail about ways in which we can reduce our exposure, including staying away from items with productivity promises such as ‘easy care’ or ultra fast-fashion with drop shipping. 

The conversation leads to how we can better legislate against these issues. Particularly with new trade deals in the pipeline, deregulation on textiles and dyes could result in a saturation of fast fashion.

Simon Costin's journey into fashion might be described as a happy accident – when a student at Central Saint Martins wanted to borrow some of his conceptual jewellery – little did Simon realise the designer would turn out to be the eponymous #AlexanderMcQueen and the start of a firm creative working friendship. Simon talks of other industry heavyweights he has collaborated with, from legendary artist and filmmaker #DerekJarman, to his work more recently with Gareth Pugh and Charles Jeffrey and existing within this highly creative oxygen.

As well as his work as a leading British fashion-set-designer, Simon runs two museums: the British Folklore Museum and the Museum of Witchcraft and Magic. The British Folklore Museum exists to promote, celebrate and revitalise the folk heritage of Britain. The Museum of Witchcraft and Magic was established in 1949 and is the world’s largest collection of objects related to witchcraft and the occult.

This halloween at midnight will be Simon’s 10th year anniversary of being the present custodian of the Museum. The conversation leads to the fact that witchcraft is having a revival of interest and Tamara’s obsession with Powell and Pressburger. Simon’s recent project curating the exhibition for the  BFI Southbank – #PowellandPressburger, ‘The Red Shoes Beyond The Mirror’ opening 10th November leads to more on Powell and Pressburger’s subversive and  breathtakingly inventive cannon.

There are also plans for workshops that will cover how to adapt clothing you already own yourself so there is no barrier to accessing adaptive clothing and re-loving your existing wardrobes.

Finally, Victoria shares her key policy asks to ultimately make fashion more inclusive.

For our first-ever podcast, Fashion Roundtable's Tamara Cincik speaks with Kate Hills - a woman on a self-proclaimed mission to save UK manufacturing. 

Following a 20-year fashion career with jobs at Burberry, Marks & Spencer, Levi’s and Debenhams, Kate created her website Make It British in 2011 to celebrate brands that manufacture their products in the UK.

"To me the offshoring of production seems very short-sighted. Britain was a successful industrial nation for centuries - the industrial revolution started here after all - so why would we want to lose all that skill and the ability to make things on our doorstep? Worried about the skills we were losing, I started to do some research on the brands and manufacturers that were left in the UK, and I found that despite what the majority of people thought, there were still lots of manufacturing being done in the UK", says Kate.

A passionate advocate for all things made British, in this podcast Kate and our founder and CEO Tamara Cincik talk about: 

• Why Kate set up Make it British in the first place
• Why we should all be passionate about British manufacturing
• How to uncover the amazing businesses that are still making in the UK
• Make It British's collaboration with Fashion Roundtable to push the Government for greater UK-made, reusable PPE
• The social benefits of onshoring UK manufacturing and Brexit!

For this conversation, Tamara Cincik spoke to Clare Press a leading voice in fashion sustainability.

Clare is an author, the first Sustainability Editor for Vogue, a fashion critic and an advisor to many fashion and policy organisations, including the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, Fashion Revolution and as Global Sustainability Expert for Fashion Roundtable.
