🎙️ The Fashion Situation Room

Real talk from the frontlines of fashion

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 Jordan, Britta Cabanos, and Peter McLaughlin, the show brings together nearly a century of combined experience across fashion design, sustainability strategy, education, journalism, and brand storytelling. Each episode blends strategies, solutions, sustainability, and storytelling into thoughtful, evidence-informed 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:

• Honest, informed conversations about the challenges and opportunities facing fashion today
• Strategic analysis of industry trends — and what they really mean on the ground
• Stories 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. We then dive into a wide-ranging conversation on:

• 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.

New episodes drop every two weeks.
