A good fashion podcast gives you industry gossip, history and business sense while your hands are busy. Below are twelve shows, from luxury-house series to thrifting and sustainability, with a note on who each one suits.
What a fashion podcast covers
Fashion podcasts are audio series about clothes and the business behind them. Topics run from fashion history and current trends to careers, sustainability, industry news and interviews with designers and editors. Plenty of brands now run their own shows too.
They're handy when you want to learn more about the industry without another hour of screen time. You hear how insiders actually talk, pick up shopping and styling advice, and find new designers and names to follow.
Fashion podcasts worth a listen
Chanel Connects
A brand-made show centered on arts and culture rather than clothes. Guests have included actors, dancers, a stage designer and a film director, and the talk ranges from new technology to how celebrity is changing. Pick it if you like the culture around fashion more than the product.
Fashion No Filter
Two fashion writers and influencers take one industry topic per episode, such as the global economy, a country's fashion scene or individuality online. They know digital media, streetwear and sustainability, and they explain how the business works without jargon. Good if you want an insider view that stays easy to follow.
Bande à Part
The name sounds exclusive, but the show is relaxed. A museum curator and a fashion historian talk about archive finds, new London exhibitions and red-carpet looks, and it sounds like friends chatting. A good first stop if you like fashion history but don't want a lecture.
Dior Talks
Dior's own podcast looks at the house's ties to art, culture and community. The first series focused on feminist art, and later episodes took on more political topics with friends of the house. It leans toward the brand's point of view, so expect admiration rather than critique.
Wardrobe Crisis
Play this one if you want to understand what fashion does to people and the environment. Clare Press, who started the show, interviews guests about how clothes get made and what that costs. Start here if sustainability is your main interest.
The Fashion Slashie
A London-based show about current style and where it comes from, with advice on juggling creative goals and everyday obligations. Guests are younger British stylists, designers and authors. It's a look at the less glamorous side of working in fashion.
Dressed: The History of Fashion
Two hosts dig into the history behind everyday clothes: where a garment came from and why we wear it. The tone is funny but well researched. If you only try one history show, make it this one.
Gucci Podcast
Gucci's show looks at how designers, stylists and artists have reshaped clothing over time. One standout episode covered the brand's Vaults project, where emerging designers reworked pieces from Gucci's archive. Expect plenty of brand storytelling.
This Old Thing
Bay Garnett is known for bringing secondhand clothes into high-fashion shoots, which makes her a natural host for a thrifting show. She trades shopping tips with her guests: where to look and how to spot a good find. Listen before your next vintage or thrift trip.
The Business of Fashion Podcast
This is the one for industry news and the business side. Founder Imran Amed interviews designers and executives about careers, sustainability and where the market is heading. It's a good pick if you want a job in fashion.
Beauty Fix with Naomi Shimada
Formerly hosted by model Charli Howard, who spoke publicly in 2015 about unrealistic beauty standards in the industry. Model Naomi Shimada took over and widened the focus to more voices from fashion. Guests have included designers and advocates, and the show also covers sustainability.
So...What Do You Do Again?
Interviews with women of color about their jobs and career paths in fashion. Host Naomi Elizée asks frank questions and gets frank answers. It's useful for career ideas, and for hearing what the industry still needs to fix.
