Alison and Bianca discuss a range of topics in the episode from discovering the roots of Bianca's creativity, how her deep bond with nature shapes her designs and how we unravel the belief in the symbiotic relationship between fashion, personal expression and wellness.
"I ground myself in nature on a day to day basis with my eyes - I make an effort to look at things with a fresh perspective"
The Dean's List is a podcast where host, Alison Dean, engages with trailblazers across various industries to weave a narrative around the heart of entrepreneurship, the art of well-being, and the flair of creativity. We dive into the lives of innovative thinkers who are redefining what it means to combine passion with business. The Dean's List is more than a podcast; it's a community, and every story opens a door to the latest ideas and trends shaping our world.
"...if you keep an open mind and you see what people respond to you make be taken in directions you couldn't have dreamt possible."
