Introducing Vogue Editors Answer Your Summer Dressing Questions with Liana Satenstein from The Run-Through with Vogue. Follow the show: The Run-Through with Vogue Dressing for the summer is no easy feat, no matter where in the world you’re located. On this special episode, Nicole and Chioma are joined by contributing writer and former Vogue staffer Liana Satenstein. Liana, who heads up the Addressed column where she tackles all kinds of fashion dilemmas, came on to talk through all of the most pressing summer dressing issues. “I like to write about the more saucy sides of what to wear and what not to wear,” Liana told the hosts, referencing one of her first installments in which she answered the question of whether or not a bra is mandatory for the workplace. The short answer: it depends. But the group was in agreement that the overly padded push-up bra or the “chicken cutlet” bra as Vogue Runway’s Sarah Mower termed it, is generally not the move. They then moved on to the very toe-pical conversation of the summer shoe. Recorded on the heels of Mathieu Blazy’s Chanel resort show in which he debuted the controversial anti-shoe, feet were a hot topic. “Phalangeal fodder for the ages!” was Liana’s assessment, “I have to choose my words carefully, but those are deliciously demented demi-sandals.” The verdict was that this shoe was not intended for the filthy city streets, but might find a home on a red carpet or beach sometime soon. Instead, for those looking to show some toe this summer, Birkenstocks and kitten heels might be a more pragmatic choice. Then came the evergreen dilemmas of what to do with unwanted hand-me-down from a loved one (“an albatross around my neck”) and how to clean and maintain a closet with limited space. Liana’s advice is to give yourself a time limit. “60 seconds, find one thing that you do not wear—I'm sure you can do it. Do that once a day for seven days, and at the end of the week you have seven pieces that you can part with.” Other summer sartorial plights they addressed included how to put together an office appropriate outfit in the sweltering summer, what is on their summer shopping wishlists, and what the modern rules are for what to wear to someone else’s wedding. For more nuance than “don’t wear white”, tune in. The Run-Through with Vogue is your go-to podcast where fashion meets culture.
