In this episode of The Word in Fashion Podcast, we’re joined by Christopher Fink, a global fashion executive and strategic advisor with nearly four decades of experience spanning luxury, mass market, and cultural institutions.

Christopher Fink talks about what it really takes to build and sustain a fashion brand after nearly four decades across luxury, mass market, and global cultural institutions. Drawing from his journey as a designer, creative director, and leader, he unpacks brand DNA versus trend culture, why restraint and clarity matter more than speed, and what most people misunderstand about how fashion actually works. The conversation moves through leadership, decision-making, education, and practical advice for young designers, especially around judgment, identity, and building something that lasts in an industry obsessed with visibility.
