Fashion director Edward Buchanan: 'Luxury isn’t what it used to be’

In the latest episode of the Glossy Podcast, international reporter Zofia Zwieglinska sits down with Edward Buchanan, a designer and creative director whose work has helped define modern luxury. From his early days as the first creative designer at Bottega Veneta to his launch of a gender-fluid knitwear brand, Sansovino 6, Buchanan has continued to push fashion forward. He's now bringing his fresh perspective to Perfect Magazine, founded by stylist and creative director Katie Grand, where he's the fashion director. Ahead of Milan Fashion Week's start, Buchanan discussed the decline of quality in luxury, the challenges facing independent designers and the structural shifts happening behind the scenes in Italian manufacturing.
