The 18th episode was recorded in Copenhagen in July 2020 with my dear friend and colleague Else Skjold, who is now the Assistant Professor in Design and Sustainability, and as of now also the Head of the Fashion Program, at the Royal Academy (KADK) in Copenhagen. Else and I met last summer, when she was still teaching fashion sustainability at the Design School in Kolding, in Southern Denmark, but since starting at the Royal Academy, she made sustainability the core of their fashion education and is now launching a new Masters program in the fall that she will tell us more about in this episode. She also has a new book out in Danish, called Dress Better, co-authored with Johanne Stenstrup (who is the host of a Danish podcast on fashion sustainability called “Better Fashion Now”).
This is the first episode since the lockdown that was recorded on location. We met at the Apollo Bar in the courtyard of the Art Academy in the centre of Copenhagen, right across from the iconic Nyhavn with its colourful buildings and restaurants along the canal, that at the time mostly empty because there were almost no tourists yet in the Danish capital.
I wanted to meet with Else again (a year after we recorded the first episode together in Copenhagen during Fashion Week last summer) and reflect on this turbulent year and how we, as fashion educators, can find inspiration for the future.
