This attitude towards trends really does feel different from the first time I talked to Sarah back in 2016. There are just too many trends now. Or maybe there are just more trend forecasters. Because you see so much pattern recognition and connect the dots and therefore, oh, threes a trend. You know, there you go. And everything is sort of up for grabs and okay. Rachel Tashton, the fashion news director at Harper's Bazaar, is tired of talking about trends.
Articles of Interest is a show about what we wear. Host and producer Avery Trufelman investigates our collectively held beliefs about fashion and explores topics like the intellectual property law behind knockoffs, creation of tartan and the history of plaid, and how a dolls in a rural museum in Washington state saved French haute couture. This new season investigates a style that keeps coming back again and again and again.
Previously part of 99% Invisible, the show is now an independent production and a proud member of Radiotopia from PRX.
