In 1995, a young designer named Edward Buchanan was appointed as the first design director of Bottega Veneta in Italy, a place which nearly three decades later, the trailblazing fashion designer now calls home. In this episode of In Fashion, Buchanan sheds light on all, from church ladies, music and style, to his friendship with Debra Shaw and establishing his innovative knitwear label, Sansovino 6. Listen as he shares personal experiences of the systemic racism people in fashion continue to come up against - one of many reasons Buchanan has too often been written out of the history books.
