Meet the Makers by Talking Fashion is a series of podcasts with fashion practitioners who play a vital role in the fashion industry but who operate from the back room rather than the front row. They discuss the challenges facing makers today, how commerce can crush creativity and why the often the biggest luxury in fashion is time.

We speak to a jewellery designer who makes the sustainable beautiful, a maker of artificial blooms for film and theatre, the head of a garment factory who is returning garment making back to the East End of London and a knitwear designer who explains how long it really takes to make a sweater.
