Episode 5: This week, we talk about HORROR, taking as a starting point costumes we’ve seen in recent horror films and how fashion designers have leaned into the genre for the Fall 2019 season. We also dredge up childhood memories of being haunted by fearsome Asian characters such as the pontianak and the jiangshi we watched on television. To round up the discussion, we explore embodiments of terror in everyday dressing, from footbinding to modern-day killer heels, as well as the horrific realities of fashion production in the fast fashion industry.
