About this listen

PERSONAL THREADS is a brand new podcast that goes ‘behind the seams’ of the joy of dressing up.


A series brought to you by Ascot where we uncover how moments and memories from our past can inform our personal style.


Each time a new guest renowned for their chic and unique dress-sense will take us on a journey through their life, stopping at key moments, memories, items or people who have influenced and sewn together our guest’s individual taste. From early obsessions, discoveries and firsts, to eccentric family members we listen to the anecdotes that have defined our guests' approach to their wardrobe. And when it comes to occasion dressing and deciding what to wear when we face the world at our most seen.


Royal Ascot and Ascot Racecourse have been synonymous with fashion and style throughout its 300+ year history, as well as one of the most popular events in the British summer calendar.


Produced by Little Dot Studios.
