Show overview

Unravel A Fashion Podcast has been publishing since 2016, and across the 4 years since has built a catalogue of 152 episodes. That works out to roughly 110 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a fortnightly cadence.

Episodes typically run thirty-five to sixty minutes — most land between 17 min and 1h 3m — with run-times ranging widely across the catalogue. The publisher flags most episodes as explicit, so expect adult themes or strong language throughout. It is catalogued as a EN-language Arts show.

The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 5.8 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. The busiest year was 2019, with 45 episodes published. Published by Unravel: Fashion Podcast.

124. Dior's Feminism

E

Joy and Jasmine discuss Dior's brand of feminism under the creative direction of Maria Grazia Chiuri. In 2016, Maria Grazia Chiuri made feminism a part of her artist design statement. It was a huge hit but some were critical that is was diluting the message of feminism protests, the Women’s March, etc. At the time the “We Should All Be Feminists” t-shirt (seen on the left) was a huge hit and they were bought up, copied, and resold at an accelerated rate. The clothes are beautiful but white feminism is not. Dior isn’t the only designer to talk about feminism on the runway. Prabal Gurung (seen on the right) has a more intersectional approach to his aesthetics.
