Welcome to the Genius Design Transcends Time Podcast: Where Fashion and Health Connect. 

In today's episode Andrea Alexa Smith and world-renowned French criminologist Alain Bauer talk about fashion and crime and its role in social conditioning and belonging, mapping the supply chain and effective data control for promoting a healthier, safer and more sustainable world.  Alain shares his unique insight into the focus of today’s fashion supply chain on protecting trademarks, reducing counterfeit products, preventing child labor, reducing usage of natural resources, reducing waste, preventing chemical pollution and illegal disposal of waste in other countries, and moving towards sustainability for the worker, the community and the environment. 

Alain says this crisis is the last alarm before the big one and that the big one is coming and face masks are here to stay.  Alain says the fashion industry should feature the face mask on the runways this upcoming season and introduce better looking and more functional face-masks as the fashion designers have a huge influence on the public.
