Everybody Wants This

Everybody Wants This is a fashion podcast that provides a glimpse behind the cigarette smoke and mirrors. Through interviews with fashion professionals, it addresses themes of dreams versus reality, work/life balance and industry injustices. But it’s also about that special quality of fashion that keeps enticing people. 

The show was created by me, Anastasia Vartanian, as part of my fashion journalism final degree project at Central Saint Martins. I also run Instagram and TikTok accounts under the tongue-in-cheek name @fatannawintour. 

Like many Gen Z and millennial fashion fans, I grew up on fashion films like Devil Wears Prada - from which this podcast gets its name. Despite media representations of an all-consuming work lifestyle and cutthroat colleagues, the powerful allure of the industry’s creativity, drama and romance persisted. But the more I learned, the more the gloss began to chip. There’s beauty in fashion, but the thick layer of glamour obscures a dark side. That’s why, when Miranda Priestly says, “Everybody wants this,” I aim to find out: do they?
