Create Tomorrow, The WGSN Podcast

The home is evolving into a powerful, behavioural architecture tool. Gemma Riberti, WGSN’s Director, CMF (Colour, Materials & Finishes) and Create Tomorrow host Cassandra Napoli reveal why the dining table is catalysing behaviour, framing moments of connection and shared experience.
Whether you’re designing a new product, curating your next dinner party or building wellness into your living space, Gemma uncovers how the hearth of the home whets our appetite for togetherness, influencing everything from kitchen design to social rituals at home. Find out how tablescaping delivers family moments and solo functionality, serving authenticity in imperfection.

Fashion Founders host Victoria Smith speaks to Create Tomorrow host Cassandra Napoli to explore the evolving media landscape, creator influence, sustainability and future trends in apparel design. 
Find out how creator-led businesses are shaping the future of fashion with ground-up networks, how media fragmentation is developing fashion discourse and how to win with functional designs.

Join host Cassandra Napoli and Osmo founder and CEO Alex Wiltschko as they uncover how AI-driven olfactory technology is transforming scent creation, sensory storytelling and personal memory re-creation.

From translating concepts into scents digitally and making it programmable to personalising scents to connect with consumers emotionally, Alex explores how olfactory intelligence can deepen brand resonance and communicate more intimately with scent as the emerging language for culture.

Join host Cassandra Napoli, Head of Consumer Forecasting at WGSN, in conversation with Paula James-Martinez, Founder and Editor-In-Chief of Cuqui Magazine, about what’s next for teen culture. They explore how the decline of teen-focused spaces, social media bans and shifting cultural behaviours are reshaping adolescence and how brands can connect authentically with young people by understanding what they want, giving them a voice and something they can claim.

In this episode of Create Tomorrow, Cassandra Napoli dives into the evolving fashion landscape for incoming fashion creatives with Graduate Fashion Foundation’s Managing Director Nicola Hitchens and Communications & Special Projects Director Annabel Waterhouse-Biggins. 
They explore emerging trends, the impact of AI on education and specific skills to focus on to work well with AI. Tune in to understand what the new markers of success are and which values are shaping the next generation of designers and their work ethic.
