Finding Your DNA As A Designer with Mary Katrantzou
What does the evolution of a designer look like? How do designers find their DNA? For designer Mary Katrantzou, who started off by pursuing a career in architecture and interior design and then found fashion as her medium of expression, her journey led to her breakout collection being featured in London Fashion Week’s 2008 graduating show, to then launching her eponymous label in 2009. Today, she’s the Creative Director of Bulgari Leather Goods and Accessories. Given the moniker Queen of Print, Mary’s iconic designs have redefined how prints can tell stories, becoming her undeniable USP. However, her journey is much more than her designs—it’s a testament to the evolution of a designer and the discovery of one’s creative DNA. Honest and candid, this episode offers a rare glimpse into the conversations Deena and Mary share regularly. Their friendship is deeply rooted in mutual trust, and this podcast is a product of that bond—two women, longtime confidantes, connecting over their shared journeys and creative philosophies.

The Art and Evolution of Fashion Photography with Albert Watson
At the end of our Deenathe1st.com interview with legendary photographer Albert Watson OBE, he mentioned that he would like to be asked about the position of art in photography and we had to follow it up with a podcast episode on Firsts by Deena! Hundreds of magazine covers, a Grammy on his shelf, the most popular portraits of Alfred Hitchcock, Steve Jobs, among others, and a career focused on the play of light, graphics, and film, Albert’s genius cannot be taken lightly. In this episode, Deena and Albert exchange thoughts on the role of AI in photography, the evolution of photography, and above all the art of photography. Here’s episode 10 of Firsts for you!

The Power of Narrative with Ahmad Swaid
A supremely creative, endlessly curious individual—that’s how we would describe Ahmad Swaid. It’s high praise but well-deserved for the new founding Editor in Chief of Dazed Middle East. Born in London to parents from Sierra Leone and Lebanon, Ahmad grew up traversing these spaces that informed his identity. Through these formative experiences, he learned that all he wanted to do was tell stories, to collaborate, and craft powerful narratives championing voices we don’t often hear from. His journey to this point is nothing short of incredible! This episode is moving, it’s honest, as Deena and Ahmad open up a conversation on the evolution of editorial in the Arab world; and why now, more than ever,we’re seeing platforms that are in service of telling stories that have often laid hidden over the years.
