Discover "The Fashion Situation Room" Podcast

The Fashion Situation Room is a fortnightly podcast offering unfiltered conversations about what’s really happening inside the global fashion industry — and what needs to change next.

Hosted by Michael J. Jordan, Britta Cabanos, and Peter McLaughlin, the show brings together nearly a century (!) of our combined experience across fashion design, sustainability strategy, education, journalism, and brand storytelling.

Each episode blends strategies, solutions, sustainability, and storytelling into thoughtful, evidence-driven discussions designed to be both practical and human. This isn’t trend-chasing or surface-level commentary.

We track the most significant movements shaping fashion today — from supply chains and technology to mental health, ethics, regulation, and creative resilience — and translate them into clear insights you can actually use.

What you’ll hear consistently:

• *Honest, informed conversations about challenges and opportunities facing fashion today.
• *Strategic analysis of industry trends — and what they really mean on the ground.
• *Stories and perspectives from the frontlines, featuring designers, educators, founders, and change-makers.
• *Actionable perspectives that bridge creativity, responsibility, and business reality.

Episode 1:  In our inaugural episode, we introduce who we are, how we came together, and why this podcast needed to exist. In Part Two, we dive into a wide-ranging conversation that explores:

*The most defining fashion and sustainability trends of 2025.

*What we see coming next — and what to watch for in 2026.

Whether you’re a student, designer, brand founder, creative professional, or simply someone who cares about where fashion is headed, "The Fashion Situation Room" is your space for informed dialogue, grounded insight, and forward-thinking conversation.
