- Society & Culture
Yes, it's us, talking about fashion again. This week Britt tries to restrain herself from giving a full history of fashion, but dives into the world and influence of "Haute Couture". We continue our discussion of celebrities, and their relationships to fashion houses, going back to early film stars. We also ponder if these luxury houses are starting to lose their artistic and prestigious appeal when so much of what is now created is for mass consumption and appeal.
Britt's Three Things
1) The French are trying to stop fast fashion. In The Guardian by Tiffanie Drake
2) France banned the hijab 20 years ago, and The Conversation asks the question, does “my body, my choice” apply to everyone?
3) Rishi Sunak in Sambas sneakers caused an internet meltdown. CNN here British GQ Here NYT here - to name a few that covered it.
Veronica's Three Things. 1) Jack Latham's photographs of click farms here and here.
2) How To Discover Your Own Taste
3) A few different Sex and the City reactions: Is Carrie Bradshaw Finally Being Redeemed?Gen-Z Thinks Carrie is a Bad FriendGen-Z are a Bunch of CharlottesSome Find the Cosmo Glass Half-Empty
Main Topic Notes: Drawing inspiration from historical fashion. Lauren Bacall, Katherine Hepburn, Halston, Grace Kelly, Elizabeth Taylor, The New Look, John Singer Sargent and Fashion Zendaya in Thom Browne, and a lot of tennis inspired clothes.
