Fashioned by Hand: Craft, Authenticity and the Future of Style at Homo Faber Conversations

In this Homo Faber Conversations, Chemena Kamali, Creative Director of Chloé, joins journalist and moderator Manveen Rana to discuss her commitment to ‘fashioned by hand’, sharing her thoughts on the value of time, care and expertise in the making process, the importance of giving visibility to the hands behind the garments, and how craft and storytelling can intertwine to create clothes that hold a sense of place and meaning. In an age of mass production and overconsumption, the skilled artisan can restore intention, substance and humanity to contemporary fashion.
