From Elsa Schiaparelli’s lobster dress to Rachel Antonoff’s pasta puffer to this summer’s grocery girl trend, food and fashion have often come together as a commentary on the cultural mores of the moment, and the politics. Melissa Marra-Alvarez and Elizabeth Way of The Museum at FIT, the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City, join host Kerry Diamond to talk about the intersection of the two. They also discuss the current exhibition they co-curated at The Museum at FIT, “Food & Fashion,” open now through Nov. 26th.
