Episode notes

In this week’s episode, I delve into the extraordinary life and career of Alec Maxwell, the visionary behind Kloss Films and husband to the brilliant Edward Enninful. Originally from the Wirral, just outside Liverpool, we chat about Alec’s path from studying fashion at university, becoming a lecturer to founding Kloss Films - Alec offers a really interesting insight that anyone wanting to get into the fashion and film industry needs to hear. We also explore his perspective on breaking into fashion today, why he hates the word ‘networking’ and the controversial topic of unpaid internships. Plus, he shares a behind-the-scenes glimpse into some of his most famous collaborations, including a shoot with Rhianna, which I was obsessed with. We also talk about his meticulous planning schedule and why he lives by the mantra of "failing to prepare is preparing to fail."
