Show notes

Saddle up: this week we dig into Bey’s rootin’ tootin’ new single, discussing the superstar’s previous dalliances with country and Pharell’s mission to relaunch cowboycore. Fresh from New York Fashion Week, we run through some of the best shows, picking out Willy Chavarria as a highlight and recommending British-Yemeni designer Kazna Asker as one to watch at LFW. And having recently run an interview with Leo Woodall (aka the cocky Essex lad from The White Lotus) on theface.com, we discuss his performance in much-hyped rom-com One Day. Is the show any good, or has Valentine’s Day just got us feeling all soppy? Press play to find out.

This week, we’re a little bleary eyed after our New Noise event in London, at which we hosted riotous live performances by the Detriot trio HiTech and the much-hyped Tottenham rapper Chy Cartier. We also chat about the new John Galliano documentary and the elaborate Margiela couture show. The track of the week segment sparks debate about Ice Spice and Megan Thee Stallion’s recent virality, and the journalist Anna Cafolla calls in to tell us about her afternoon in the pub with the provocative Belfast rap group Kneecap.

Pitchfork in peril, Rick Owens’ apartment and the allure of The Traitors Jan 25, 2024

Show notes

The Face Podcast is your weekly cultural digest – rounding up the stories that you should care about in film, fashion and music.
This week, we report back from Rick Owens' AW 2024 show, which was hosted in Rick and Michèle Lamy’s home. We also chat about The Face's interview with Diane from the red-hot TV show The Traitors (which everyone was sneakily watching at Paris Fashion Week). And in light of Pitchfork being folded into GQ, we consider the value of thoughtful criticism and how music might change if it becomes obsolete.
Speaking of music journalism, we called up the renowned writer Aniefiok Ekpoudom – who’s just released a book on MCing and Black British culture – to discuss Dave, an overlooked scene in South Wales, and who’s on the Mount Rushmore of UK rap.
