Tommy Hilfiger, through its People’s Place Program, and Kimberly Jenkins’ Fashion and Race Database are working with Pineapple Street Studios on a five-part podcast series.

The Invisible Seam: Unsung Stories of Black Culture and Fashion will feature compelling interviews with expert guests, including designers, academics, fashion historians, museum curators, stylists and artists. It’s hosted by Kimberly Jenkins, a consultant, Assistant Professor of Fashion Studies at Ryerson University in Toronto, Canada, and Founder and Lead Researcher of The Fashion and Race Database. The first episode will premiere today, April 20.

In a statement, Jenkins said that this kind of partnership “is a game-changer, because it shows what’s possible when industry leaders listen and collaborate with those of us doing the work to educate and advocate for a more diverse and socially responsible fashion system. Fashion education and research is often isolated in the fashion system, so I hope that other fashion brands will take notes from what Randy Cousin and the Tommy Hilfiger People’s Place Program are producing with us.”

As the Tommy Hilfiger website states, the label “launched the People’s Place Program to advance minority representation in the fashion industry. Together with The Fashion and Race Database, we’re telling stories that have gone unheard for too long.”
