Podcast
The Fashion Archivist is a research-led podcast exploring fashion through conversations, monologues, and archival thinking. Moving between studio processes, cultural shifts, and the figures shaping fashion behind the scenes, the series uncovers stories beyond the image and examines the histories informing contemporary fashion.

The Assoulines on Thirty Years of Fashion Publishing
Prosper and Martine Assouline's business began with a passion project: A book dedicated to their love for La Colombe d'Or, a boutique hotel in the South of France; Martine produced the images and Prosper was responsible for the text. But since publishing that first title 30 years ago, Assouline Publishing has gone on to capture the history and visual memory of places like Ibiza and Jaipur, industry icons such as Estée Lauder and Valentino Garavani, as well as fashion houses like Saint Laurent and Louis Vuitton.
