Fashion No Filter

In this episode we travel to Copenhagen Fashion Week with Vestiaire Collective for a live audience with Denmark’s Queen... of style!

Over the past decade Pernille Teisbaek’s name has become synonymous with a specific kind of pared-back, sophisticated Scandinavian chic. But the elusive “Look de Pernille” (as her successful blog founded in 2012 was titled) is not limited to local fame — Pernille’s style has inspired an army of international fans — and copycats. Today her Instagram account (775k followers), a symphony of inspiration for fashion-forward minimalists, is one of the industry’s most admired, yet Pernille’s talents are by no means limited to posing. She still works regularly as a stylist, as co-founder of the influencer marketing and consultancy company Social Zoo and, meanwhile, as a full-time mom of two.

We catch up with Pernille for a candid conversation on work-life balance, how best to reduce once’s environmental fashion footprint, and that certain je ne sais quoi that defines that defines that elusive Danish elegance.

Welcome to your third and final episode of Fashion: No Filter in lockdown, broadcasting live from two (and then four) separate locations. Technology has saved the day again, allowing your hosts to catch up on important industry news, creativity in lockdown, and of course, peanut butter sandwiches, ahead of an in-depth interview with their guest, editor-in-chief of A Magazine Curated By, Dan Thawley. After two months in a remote seaside abode Dan has managed to put out one of his best, most relevant issues yet: he talks finding inspired alternatives, challenging Fashion Week norms, why we need menswear, and more...

Since it’s always fashion week somewhere, the time has come to talk about the fashion show.

If you’ve ever wondered how these unusual events come to life, this episode is for you. Perhaps you’ve stopped in your tracks (or feed scroll) at evidence of a particularly spectacular show or uniquely intricate set. At times these performance aspects can become even more memorable than the fashion itself. Well, chances are a man named Alexandre de Betak with a headphone backstage was calling the shots. De Betak's job is to travel the world year-round dreaming up the most extrordinary sets and parties, catwalks and choreographies.

In fact, over the past 25 years, the “Fellini of Fashion” has orchestrated over 1,500 fashion sows from the helm of his international production company Bureau Betak. Not only does the producer come up with each universe to compliment his clients’ collections, he is also known for gaining access to some of the world’s most celebrated and protected landmarks in which to do so. This past summer there was the spectacular pink-carpeted Jacquemus show somewhere in a lavender filed in Provence (that could only be found by following an exact GPS location). Or a show by the same designer at Paris' Picasso Museum a few seasons back, an unprecedented feat that no doubt required a certain amount of arm-twisting among the Paris establishment. Ditto for the Dior mirror box de Betak built in Moscow’s Red Square, the one he constructed in the center of the Louvre, or in the garden of the Rodin Museum... locations most creatives can only dream of taking over.

As your hosts sit down with de Betak to discuss his unique and largely self-invented career trajectory, they also ask the show maestro to speculate on where the very concept of the fashion show is going next, on why the bi-annual four-city circuit as we know it should really be rethought, and how to properly integrate sustainability if he can help it. Which, of course, he can.

In this episode of Fashion: No Filter your hosts get a studio visit from Mugler’s brilliant new Creative Director Casey Cadwallader.

After a topical chat on whether politics merits a place in the fashion world (or perhaps, whether fashion has the right to take a political stance), Casey tells Monica and Camille about his recent actions — including diverse casting, dressing Cardi B, and creating that exceptionally constructed “naked-suit” for Bella Hadid — which of course speak louder than words.

Casey also takes the girls on a trip down memory lane, explaining his journey from 12-year-old goldsmith in New Hampshire, to architect, to Creative Director of a major Parisian fashion house, before addressing the joys of body-conscious dressing, and why choosing to look sexy can indeed go hand-in-hand with modern feminism. Tune in for an inspiring young designer’s journey, a hilarious first-hand account of Beyonce’s sartorial needs, and, of course, if you want to know, the secrets to constructing derriere-hoisting hosiery.
