In Episode 1 of The BoF Show, now streaming on Bloomberg Quicktake, BoF’s founder and CEO, Imran Amed, meets rising star of Paris fashion, Marine Serre, at her studio on the outskirts of the city.

They discuss how the pandemic is changing fashion — including the rise of the face mask, which Serre had the foresight to feature in her apocalypse-themed runway shows pre-Covid-19 — and whether that change is happening fast enough.

Serre, who repurposes old garments to create her highly acclaimed collections, has always explored themes of sustainability in her work. She explains why she is cautiously optimistic that her peers will join her in embracing sustainable solutions as they look to balance profit with purpose.

Here, we share the full interview with Serre exclusively on The BoF Podcast.
