If your personal style these days can best described as 'elastic waist', you are not alone. Stay-at-home orders and shutdowns of non-essential businesses have all but capsized the retail and fashion industries. Will we ever want to get dressed up again? And what will that mean post-pandemic? Hazmat Hotel host Lea Goldman talks to bestselling author, stylist and TV personality Stacy London about how our current austerity has affected attitudes toward fashion, perhaps for good. Will personal style make a resurgence when this is over, or are sweats the new black for the foreseeable future? How are emerging and established designers—both so reliant on manufacturing in China—responding to this moment? And what becomes of fashion influencers when low-key authenticity is the order of the day?
