Very well analyzed, I found the conversation unstructured, the history was not even rudimentarily deepened – for example, the fact that he was awarded with a knighthood was not inquired about.
the mention of his passion for montlanc pens was also unnecessary and had no relevance in this conversation.
in addition, the somewhat american, insensitive appearance was embarrassing: simply touching things and sitting down without being asked made the conversation rather unpleasant for me.
and perhaps the camera team could establish more advantageous perspectives – a frog perspective is inappropriate for this type of conversation …

The transcript refers to a “port side”: I think, given the travel context, it means “Port Said…an Egyptian city at the northern end of the Suez Canal, on the Mediterranean Sea.” Certain clothes in colonial times were supposed to be worn mainly in the tropics, east of Suez. BTW, “posh” is an acronym for “Port Out, Starboard Home”, the shady side of the ship when sailing east to the colonies and back.

Interesting designer. I liked hearing how he started without an education and grew his business.

I thought it was an awkward interview. Sir Jeremy Hackett was telling stories, and the interviewer was constantly trying to relate and tell a story of his own, yet it was not acknowledged by Sir Hackett. It was funny how Sir Jeremy Hackett rib the interviewer with his dress at home 36:27 and how it went over the interviewer’s head.
