<p>When Dior talks, we listen. Each episode features a chat with artists and creatives, who have inspired Maria Grazia Chiuri’s – Dior’s Creative Director – vision for the brand. The tone is intellectual but not intimidating, with Paris-based journalist Katya Foreman chatting to world-class artists like <a href="https://www.hayalpozanti.com/">Hayal Pozanti</a> and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/liangyuanwei">Liang Yuanwei</a> about their inspirations. It’s glossy, cultured and unapologetically Dior.</p>

<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="1000" height="1000" src="https://dev.muddystilettos.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/2-16.png" alt="Fashion Neurosis with Bella Freud" class="wp-image-120096" srcset="https://dev.muddystilettos.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/2-16.png 1000w, https://dev.muddystilettos.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/2-16-600x600.png 600w, https://dev.muddystilettos.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/2-16-300x300.png 300w, https://dev.muddystilettos.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/2-16-500x500.png 500w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /></figure>



<p>This is what you get when you combine the famous psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud, with fashion designer Bella Freud. And it really works. Guests are invited to metaphorically ‘lie on the couch’ and unpick their relationship with clothes, creativity and identity. Because it’s Bella, the line-up is stellar: Cate Blanchett, Julianne Moore, Nick Cave and her great pal Kate Moss have all dropped in for the sort of honest, revealing conversations you don’t often hear in fashion.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Want a front row seat during Fashion Week? This pod, hosted by Vogue editors, creatives and cover stars mixes industry news, views and gossip. Think big announcements (like Anna Wintour discussing Chloe Malle’s promotion) alongside trend reports, backstage stories and celebrity interviews. It’s glossy but surprisingly human, making you feel like you’re eavesdropping on the world’s most powerful fashion desk.</p>

<p>Journalist Avery Trufelman takes a deceptively simple idea – one garment – and spins it into half an hour of cultural storytelling. From Hawaiian shirts to blue jeans, and perfume to the politics of pockets (seriously, why <em>are</em> women’s clothes so often pocketless?). This award-winning podcast digs into the way fashion connects to history, society and identity, all told with warmth and wit. </p>

<p>There are more than 570 episodes of <em>Dressed</em>, hosted by fashion historians April Calahan and Cassidy Zachary. It covers everything from Spanish court style in the age of Velázquez to the story of Gucci, and even the invention of zippers. With its mix of academic rigour and juicy anecdotes, this is a podcast for anyone who wants to understand the cultural meaning of what we wear, and why.</p>

<p>This podcast is the ultimate antidote to fashion fakery. Hosted by Chelsea Fairless and Lauren Garroni – the women behind the cult Instagram account <a href="https://www.instagram.com/everyoutfitonsatc/?hl=en"><em>Every Outfit on Sex and the City</em> </a>– it’s funny, snarky and packed with pop culture chat. Expect dissections of red-carpet looks, hot takes on the latest runway news, and the occasional deep dive into Carrie Bradshaw’s questionable fashion choices. It’s like gossiping with your most stylish mates, glass of red in hand. Irreverent, informed and always entertaining.</p>

<p><em>In Vogue</em> mines the magazine’s legendary archive to revisit iconic moments in fashion history.

It’s nostalgia-drenched, starry and slick – perfect pre-Fashion Week inspiration.</p>

<p>Trust Chanel to do things differently. This podcast puts artists, actors, musicians and ‘innovators’ in conversation about big cultural questions – the kind of exchanges you imagine happening over late-night suppers in Paris. Recorded at Coco Chanel’s villa on the Riviera, guests have included Tilda Swinton, Pharrell, Emerald Fennell and Penélope Cruz, with topics ranging from ‘the philosophy of home’ to ‘the art of performance’. Pretentious? Moi? </p>

<p>What started as conversations with friends has turned into one of fashion’s most candid podcasts. After 15 years in the biz, designer Recho Omondi asks what others won’t dare, exposing the industry’s messy realities with stylists, photographers, editors and more. Unlike the glossy world of fashion mags, this is totally unfiltered and often goes viral – the perfect antidote to PR-polished fashion chatter.</p>
