Ep. 13: Fashion Inspirations and Aspirations, in Three Acts The Seams with Jacki Lyden

We explore the transformative force that is fashion in conversations with Joe Zee, the stylist-reality TV guy-Yahoo! Style editor, who’s just published a memoir; the women on the catwalk and in the audience of the Ebony Fashion Fair; and E.P. Cutler, the historian and critic behind the new book Art + Fashion: Collaborations and Connections between Icons.
