Visual Interest – Details, episodes & analysis

This week, I chat with Marcus Crook, the Co-Founder and Creative Director of HoMie and REBORN. These are more than just typical streetwear brands—they're lifelines for young people overcoming hardship and homelessness. Tune in to discover what they do, how they do it, and how you can get involved. ⚠️ The audio is a bit softer in this episode, so earphones are advised. 🍄 Follow Visual Interest on Instagram:   / visualinterest_   🧢 Visit HoMie's website: https://homie.com.au/ 🧢 Follow HoMie on Instagram:   / homie.com.au   🧢 Follow HoMie on TikTok:   / homie.com.au   🔖 https://bitly.cx/wRJo (HoMie's FY 23 Report) 🔖 https://homelessnessaustralia.org.au/... 🔖 https://www.kuc.org.au/our-impact/the... 👩‍🎨 Artwork by:   / robynarthur_   🪗 Music by: https://daanverbr.ee/

Hold on to your waistcoats—this episode is full of riveting fashion history. I had the pleasure of chatting with fashion historian, content creator, shoemaker, and tailor @thenicolerudolph. We spoke about fashion history (duh), the mysterious 17th-century Dutch painter who depicted people in jeans (aptly known as the Master of the Blue Jeans), our favourite fashion facts, and more.

This week, we’re diving into textiles (and much more). I had the pleasure of learning all about fashion conservation from César Rodriguez Salinas (@txetxare), a Fashion and Textile Conservator at @kunstmuseum.nl. We discussed his early years working on the opening of the Balenciaga Museum in Getaria (@cristobalbalenciagamuseoa), the importance of fashion conservation alongside art preservation, and his work on the pieces featured in the ‘Dior: A New Look’ exhibition currently on display at the Kunstmuseum.
