    2022/07/27

    Joining Scott and Susan on the podcast this week is Television Presenter and BBC's Director of Creative Diversity, June Sarpong OBE.


    In the final episode of this season, June talks about her move away from high street fashion towards ‘forever pieces’ - high quality, second-hand designer pieces that are built to last. She also speaks on fashion being a physical embodiment of your values, and how the right outfit can completely change how you feel about yourself. June then discusses her mindful approach when it comes to her own personal style these days, reusing her beloved collection of Fendi baguette bags, and unleashing her inner Donna Summer with her love of glittery leggings.

    On this episode Caroline talks influences growing up as an ‘80s girl’, where she was inspired by icons such as Audrey Hepburn, Bananarama, Red or Dead and Salt n Pepa, but most of all her Mum - a seamstress, fashion lover and social butterfly who Caroline would regularly steal clothes from.

  • Ep 1: Paul O'Grady
    2022/06/01

    In the premiere episode of the brand new ‘Personal Threads’, podcast hosts Scott and Susan welcome British national treasure Paul O’Grady; an English comedian, broadcaster and author who originally launched his career as the outrageously hilarious Lily Savage.


    We hear how Paul’s style and tailoring foundations started at a very early age with his passion for the sartorial elegance of 1960s TV series ‘The Avengers’ and weekly payments on his first Burton suits. O’Grady then evolved into the uniquely styled powerdresser that was Lily Savage, and a man that even commissions his pyjamas to be made by some of the finest tailors in the world.
