Fashion Forensics – Details, episodes & analysis

Welcome to Fashion Forensics - the visual podcast where we examine fashion as a non-transaction with some of the world’s best artists, stylists, designers, photographers and editors, stripping it down to its core identity. 

My name is Angel Nemov, a fashion journalist and editor, examining how past imagery has shaped our present identity, and what that means for our collective future. 

How do we recall the visual moments in our lives that have shaped who we are? As the fashion and creative cycle becomes more and more overwhelming with imagery 24/7, what are the moments that have cut through that noise? 

Join me each week as we analyse and reflect upon the most special moments in my guests’s lives that have made them into powerhouse creatives across fashion and design.

Alexander Fury is a fashion editor and archivist who has hit every single touchpoint you can experience with the fashion industry. From the moment he witnessed Carla Bruni on the runway for John Galliano in 1995, he knew he wanted to devote his life to fashion. His early work with Nick Knight at SHOWstudio ushered in a fierce determination in taking apart and examining each particle that makes the industry - something he has led on to take across his work later on for Love Magazine, Financial Times, The New York Times and becoming the Fashion Features Director at AnOther Magazine.

Leading Fashion Forensics’s debut episode, Fury talks at length about the imagery that has stuck with him throughout his life - from being 12 years-old and witnessing Alexander McQueen and Vivienne Westwood’s fashion shows through newspaper cut-outs, all the way through spending six months with Demna in preparation for his Balenciaga Couture debut back in 2021.

What means the most for Jordanluca? Love. Every expression of it. 

Design duo Jordan Bowen and Luca Marchetto’s meet-cute moment famously occurred in the line for the toilets at a London gay club. 

Now, years later, they have built a monumentally disruptive fashion brand, have become husbands and shifted the modern perception of work-life balance within the fashion industry. 

Their story features two very different upbringings, but sharing the same joie de vivre of rebellion. Luca is a designer coming from the Italian mountains, obsessed with British culture and Vivienne Westwood’s ethos of understanding societal boundaries in order to break them. Jordan is a model, a hat designer and a creative who first interned for the great milliner Stephen Jones, and came from a family of London Punks and 1970s New Romantics, and later inspired greatly by his mentor, the late British artist Duggie Fields. 

Coming on Fashion Forensics, the design duo talks love, the importance of mentorship, and how important it is to captivate the sliding door moments in your life.

Musician, muse and artist Cosima has always walked a very personal road within fashion and music.

Becoming Pierpaolo Piccioli's Maison Valentino muse and performing at his Haute Couture and ready-to-wear fashion shows further inspired her to express deeply hidden stories through making music, and devote her life to owning your own artist autonomy - something she has advocated for since her first record in 2016 and having launched her own record label.

By becoming vulnerable through her music, she was able to create and nurture a community of like-minded souls, and inspire them with tracks like 'Somewhere' , 'To Build a House' and her latest single 'Angel Blonde (That's Life!)'. 

Talking about her inspirations on Fashion Forensics, Cosima describes her love for 1970s cinema by filmmakers like Rainer Fassbinder and photography icons like Nan Goldin as the building pillars of her point of view.

Born in Sheffield, artist Corbin Shaw has always looked back onto the everyday British way of life for inspiration. 

Raised in the digital era of Tumblr, the Internet became an escapism for him, which later transpired as one of the main influences in him pursuing art and performance at Central Saint Martins. This path later led him to create contemporary work about the modern notions of masculinity, class and adolescence with some of the most established artists, photographers and editors like Alasdair McLellan, Katie Grand and John Joseph Holt. 

Coming onto Fashion Forensics,  Shaw is able to reflects back on his childhood influences like Cara Delevingne, memorable movies like Disney's 1941 make of Dumbo, and his current inspirations like Nadia Lee Cohen's 'Women", envisioning what his future holds in the performance and fashion space.

Fashion communications and PR specialist Lucien Pagès needs no introduction in the world of fashion and design. Starting out as an intern for Gianfranco Ferré during his tenure as the Creative Director at Christian Dior, Pagès went on to create a PR empire with the launch of his own agency in 2006 - Lucien Pagès Communication. 

Since then, he has looked after the vision and expression of the greatest fashion designers and brands of our time - Schiaparelli, Saint Laurent, Emilio Pucci, Jacquemus, JW Anderson, as well as discovering and supporting some of the most exciting young talent like Dilara Findikoglu, Duran Lantink and more. 

Coming on Fashion Forensics, Pagès shares the building blocks of his vision identity - from watching Joanna Lumley play Patsy in the iconic British comedy series Absolutely Fabulous, all through designing the very last capsule collection for the greatest fashion incubator Colette before it shut its doors, he relays that he never had a plan, but he had a vision for his life.

Being raised by multiple generations of strong, resilient women, model and activist Cora Corré has carried the legacy of her grandmother - the ultimate punk disruptor and designer Vivienne Westwood - forward by making fashion think about what matters most. 

Expanding the humanitarian work of The Vivienne Foundation into further developing projects and raising funds for humanitarian crisis response funds, Corré has taken Westwood's all-important message of utilising your own platform to speak up about what matters most, and brought it into every part of her life. 

Coming on Fashion Forensics, she shares about her childhood filled with lust for exploration - from going to her very first protest at the age of four, all the way to showcasing projects about the Sex Pistols at school as her own form of defying the educational norms.

Designer and Creative Director Sandra Choi has devoted her life into building a global shoe empire, starting out by learning the craft in her uncle Jimmy Choo's London workshop. Since then, 29 years later, she is still the core nucleus driving forward one of the biggest fashion brands in the world. 

Coming onto Fashion Forensics, Choi recalls the memories that defined her life - from accepting Princess Diana's request to create custom pairs of shoes to match her dress, through kitting out Carrie Bradshaw's shoe closet, moments before uttering the iconic "I Lost My Choo!" line, all through collaborating with fashion visionaries like Virgil Abloh, Rihanna and Beyoncé, her sharp focus has led her to become one of the leaders in the fashion industry, championing constant evolution. 

As she sits in the hot seat this week, Choi looks back on 30 years of designing shoes, and the decision behind bringing some of our most beloved icons back for their second act.

When he first founded fashion retail space Machine-A in London, Stavros Karelis gave small and independent artists and designers a stage to express themselves upon.

Quickly, the conceptual boutique became more than just retail, but a cultural hub frequented by artists and creatives like Scissor Sisters, Lady Gaga, Anna Trevelyan, Nicola Formichetti and more. Since its inception in 2013, Karelis has turned it into a global experimental space where young and exciting designers sit firmly alongside established brands, launching the careers of many of the industry's greats through giving them creative freedom in how their designs interact.

Coming into the Fashion Forensics hot seat, he talks about his early British influences - from the cult classic Trainspotting all throughout The Prodigy, and how it all led him to pursue his ultimate goal of moving two steps ahead of the industry, and experiment.
