In the latest episode of the FT Weekend podcast “Life & Art,” the discussion centers on the growing trend of using Ozempic, a diabetes and obesity medication, within the fashion industry. Hosted by a former features editor of British Vogue and current editor of the luxury magazine HTSI, the conversation delves into the pervasive culture of thinness that has long dominated fashion.
The host, Jo, has witnessed firsthand the industry’s fat-hating mentality during numerous fashion weeks. This autumn, she observed that many of her colleagues, already thin, were quietly leveraging Ozempic or Wegovy for weight loss, yet the topic remained largely unaddressed in public discourse. Jo’s recent column reflects on this silence and suggests it highlights broader societal struggles with body image.
Joining the podcast from London, Jo aims to unpack these complex issues and encourage a more open conversation about body perception in fashion today.
