The latest Jeansland Podcast episode features Hayato Nishi of Lenzing in a wide-ranging conversation on the disconnect between design and manufacturing — and why rebuilding product knowledge is critical for fashion’s future. Nishi shares his path from streetwear and retail concepts to advanced knitting technology and fiber strategy, offering a next-generation perspective on how better decisions get made. The discussion also explores reshoring, sustainability and AI’s real opportunity: not replacing creativity, but helping connect design intent with production reality.
