Two years ago, Bianca Spender hadn’t really experienced loss. But in the space of 18 months, the fashion designer lost her beloved mum, Carla Zampatti, and not long after, she lost her father. On today’s episode, Bianca joins Phoebe – after a quick wardrobe change – to chat about overcoming grief, childhood memories of the Carla Zampatti atelier, why she went to France to prove herself in the fashion world, how she’s forging her own legacy – and why she gardens in a silk nightie.  Read all about Bianca and her family legacy in Vogue’s Family issue, on sale now. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

[LIVE from AAFW] Bianca Spender

She's a strong tailor, cuts a mean coat &amp; has been a Woolmark Prize finalist. One of the most considered, creative, thoughtful designers working in Australia today, Bianca Spender also thinks deeply about sustainability &amp; making positive impacts on people &amp; planet with her work.In this interview, recorded live at the recent SCCI Fashion Hub in Sydney, we discuss Bianca's approach to integrating sustainability into every aspect of her business. We talk about her use of dead stock, her design process and relationship to and obsession with nature, and what it was like to grow up in the fashion business - Bianca's mother is Carla Zampatti, who presented her first collection in Sydney in 1965.Bianca's AW'18 collection is titled Letters to Nature and explores how we stand in Nature, literally in terms of the elements, but also existentially - what sort of world do we want to create for future generations, and how will the actions we take today impact on tomorrow? Check out her Instagram here.Head over to https://thewardrobecrisis.com/podcast/2018/8/2/podcast-ep-41-bianca-spender-on-nature-process-creativity to read yours and #bethechangeFollow Clare on Instagram and Twitter @mrspressLove the podcast?
