    EP144: The Beginning of Hackett ft Jeremy Hackett

    The beginning of Hackett is one the most inspirational and fascinating stories of how this brand began. Jeremy Hackett, one of the most well-known figures in British Menswear, joins me on a conversation about how it all started. The iconic brand that has had so much depth into Menswear not just British Menswear but all over the globe Hackett has become one the most iconic and proud British Menswear Brand that's still going.

As Jeremy says, " I've never worked in my life," how can it feel like work when you enjoy doing something and when you do it so well.
    The beginning may be hard work, but it's the most fun part of building up a brand. Join Jermey and myself in conversation about how The Beginning of Hackett all began.

    EP143: Beyond The Clouds ft Sushant Abrol Founder of Country Made In

    EP143: Beyond The Clouds ft Sushant Abrol Founder of Country Made In

    This has to be one the most emotional and great stories of a brand that I have recorded on menSwear by A Woman Podcast. I've never come across such a story where I myself froze throughout! Sushant began his journey in starting a brand in menswear with his brother, who was in the air force in India. What happened next will never prepare anyone for it, Sushant was not prepared what was coming his way. A brand that has so much value with the creative side, using the most amazing artisans, but the brand holds something so dear to one's heart it only makes you stronger that you have to hold onto it even more than ever!
    You have to join me in one of the most fascinating stories and conversations I have ever recorded for this podcast. A story that I have also know how it felt suddenly losing someone so dear and how Sushant tells his story in losing someone dear, but at the same time, how menswear in our each way got us back into Menswear. It's a very emotional episode. At the same time, with each of us creatives, we all have some sort of stories that also make us. You can find Country Made In here www.countrymade.in
    The title is called Beyond The Clouds, a tribute to Sushant's brother who began this journey and who will always remain on this journey with him.

Consistently great listen.

I came across this podcast by chance a year or so ago and it is now a firm favourite.

Sarmilla must have a fantastic list of contacts as she has attracted an extensive list of guests and curated a fascinating podcast covering many brands highlighting the creative process , trials and tribulations of brand building as well as inclusion, diversity and mental health.
