When it comes to fashion, it’s usually our sense of sight and touch that take in the art. But with the repercussions of Covid-19, many of us have taken to fashion podcasts (or podcasts in general) as hearing conversations in the background while working in isolation to feel somewhat comforted. And while there’s already a plethora of ’em in the fashion industry, we’re also seeing luxury fashion brands stepping up to connect with their followers through engaging conversations with insiders, celebrities, artists and even the founders themselves. So if you’re looking for a new podcast to get into, check out some of our favourites below:
1. Chanel Connects on 3.55
