In this episode, Sasha (MA Fashion Design for Planet) shares her journey from studying costume design for performance at London College of Fashion to working with fashion in a more production-focused and system-oriented context at DSKD.

Starting from designing garments to express character and narrative, she reflects on how that perspective carries into fashion, while also adapting to new considerations like materials, scalability, and production. We explore the differences between bespoke costume work and fashion design for larger systems, and what that shift means for both creativity and decision-making.

Sasha also shares insights from her internship in a production department, where she worked with fit, pattern adjustments, and garment development, offering a closer look at how clothes are refined before reaching the final stage.

Together, we unpack the complexity behind clothing, the many roles within the fashion industry, and why understanding the full process is essential for designers today.

If you're curious about fashion beyond the surface, this episode offers a grounded and honest perspective.

In this episode, Julia (MA Design for Planet, Fashion Design) shares her experience working at a Berlin-based streetwear brand, where she contributed across both design and production.

Julia also reflects on her experiences with Fashion Weeks in Berlin and Harbin, offering insight into different approaches to show production and collaboration.

Together, we discuss the differences between exploratory innovation and product development, the challenges of designing within LEGO’s strict system rules, and how teamwork shapes the design process. Jordi and MiFe also share practical advice for students interested in applying for LEGO internships, including tips on portfolios, cover letters, and standing out as a candidate.

In this episode, Mirte (MA Play, Industrial Design) takes us deep into her large-scale, location-based Werewolf game,  a two-week immersive experience that transformed the school into a living narrative of trust, betrayal, fear, and play. From secret group chats and midnight strategies to theatrical deaths and emotional intensity, we explore how game design can shape human behavior far beyond rules and cards.

Together, we unpack Mirte’s research-driven approach to play, her fascination with narration and world-building, and how this project is evolving into her master’s thesis, combining academic research, physical design, and emotional experience into one immersive system.

If you’re curious about play, participation, emotional design, or how games can blur the line between fiction and reality, this episode is for you.”
