Kering has launched the second season of its podcast, “Fashion Our Future,” focused on sustainability and fashion’s evolving landscape. This season, Kering teams up with content creator and author Andrea Cheong, known for promoting ethical fashion and conscious consumerism. Cheong hosts in-depth discussions with grassroots activists and luxury industry innovators, offering insights into the sustainability challenges and opportunities in fashion.
The 15-episode season will focus on five main themes. The opening series, "Crafting Luxury: What Makes It Truly Valuable," now available for streaming, features Valerie Steele from the Fashion Institute of Technology and Bode's Emily Adams Bode Aujla as they explore the intersection of heritage and sustainability. In a London-based episode, Cheong interviews designer Ksenia Schnaider about her brand’s innovative use of upcycling and craftsmanship.
The season launched during London Fashion Week on September 16th, with Cheong and Timothy Chernyaev (@relaxitsonlyfashion) leading a live discussion on whether sustainability conflicts with creativity. Upcoming episodes will address supply chain challenges, eco-influence, and regenerative agriculture, with guests such as Orsola de Castro, Marcelo Gaia, and GosiaPiatek.
New episodes will be released monthly across all audio platforms.
