If you’re plugged into fashion TikTok or a lover of street style, you’ve most likely seen the Chopova Lowena pleated carabiner skirts about. Two of our British Vogue colleagues, Alex Kessler, junior fashion editor, and Daniel Rogers, digital fashion writer, hopped into a studio in London to chat with the two designers behind the brand, Emma Chopova and Laura Lowena-Irons. The designers talk about their meet cute (they both studied at Central Saint Martins), building their brand, and their high-profile clientele, including Chloë Sevigny. We also learn a bit about how they cast their iconic shows. (Don’t be surprised if you see Alex on the runway some day soon!)

Later, Chloe and Mark Guiducci, Vogue’s creative editorial director, talk with director and friend of Vogue Baz Luhrmann about his latest project, Faraway Downs—a reimagining of his 2008 film Australia. The two also ask Baz about his close friendship with Miuccia Prada, and what on earth they get up to when they hang out. Tune in!
