Summary
How does a background in costume design shape the way you approach fashion?
In this episode, Sasha (MA Fashion Design for Planet) shares her journey from studying costume design for performance at London College of Fashion to working with fashion in a more production-focused and system-oriented context at DSKD.
Starting from designing garments to express character and narrative, she reflects on how that perspective carries into fashion, while also adapting to new considerations like materials, scalability, and production. We explore the differences between bespoke costume work and fashion design for larger systems, and what that shift means for both creativity and decision-making.
Sasha also shares insights from her internship in a production department, where she worked with fit, pattern adjustments, and garment development, offering a closer look at how clothes are refined before reaching the final stage.
Together, we unpack the complexity behind clothing, the many roles within the fashion industry, and why understanding the full process is essential for designers today.
If you're curious about fashion beyond the surface, this episode offers a grounded and honest perspective.
