Podcasts have evolved from being a trendy novelty to an essential medium for sharing stories, insights, and expertise. Whether you’re a model navigating the industry, someone interested in modeling, or a professional at a model agency, the chances are high that a podcast exists for your interests. Fashion houses, brands, magazines, and model agencies alike have embraced podcasts as strategic tools for branding, connecting with audiences, and showcasing their values.
Chanel has also recognized the power of this medium. In mid-January, they launched Chanel Connects, offering models, celebrities, and industry insiders a platform to reflect on the zeitgeist and the future of culture. Early episodes feature conversations with Pharrell Williams, Keira Knightley, and Tilda Swinton, providing rare insights into creativity and influence in fashion and modeling.
