Procrastination - definition: tendency to postpone, systematically until the next day.

James Wines is a legendary designer and an architect whose provocative work through his studio SITE has challenged our ideas of retail and public spaces.

After a very intense and emotional month in French politics, I'm very happy to share my conversation with the Indian Marxist historian, Professor Vijay Prashad (@possiblehistory). Vijay is the director of the Tri-Continental Institute For Social Research, the author of 20 books including three with Noam Chomksy, an incredible force for good and justice, and a once-a-generation speaker.
We recorded this episode in my office in Paris, around a cup of coffee and a pair of boxing gloves. We had just recently met but found out we had a lot in common, and of course we talked about Gaza. If you're feeling down or uncertain about the future right now, listen to this one right now. Trust me, it's a real shot in the arm. Ramdane

In this episode, Ramdane engages in a fascinating conversation with the cult British designer Nigel Cabourn, about fifty years producing collections.
Cabourn detailed his early life, from his passion for football to the influence of pop music, the decision to pursue fashion design, attending Newcastle Fashion College, then starting his own business by 1969. His early career saw the launch of Cricket Manufacturing Limited, producing garments and expanding internationally with the help of Paul Smith. Cabourn discussed the decline of small fashion shops due to big commercial groups, and his inspiration from vintage military clothing, which influenced his use of fabrics like Ventile.
