Detente, sombra de mi bien esquivo imagen del hechizo que más quiero, bella ilusión por quien alegre muero, dulce ficción por quien penosa vivo. Si al imán de tus gracias atractivo sirve mi pecho de obediente acero, ¿para qué me enamoras lisonjero, si has de burlarme luego fugitivo? Mas blasonar no puedes satisfecho de que triunfa de mí tu tiranía; que aunque dejas burlado el lazo estrecho que tu forma fantástica ceñía, poco importa burlar brazos y pecho si te labra prisión mi fantasía.
En esta emisión, Isabel Toledo y Aristeo Mora nos hablan de Cartas sonoras para cuerpos celestes, un proyecto encaminado a un "duelo colectivo" para quienes perdieron a un familiar o ser querido durante la pandemia ocasionada por el COVID-19.

My fashion mantra, if I have one at all, is amuse and confuse, relax and enjoy. I am all about freedom of expression. I reserve the liberty and freedom to change my mind and clothes as often as I can.
This was a heavy week with passing of Isabel Toledo and Dapper Afrika! Their style and creativity lives on! In addition, I chat about Vogue picking five fashion historians!

For twenty years, 47-year-old Isabel Toledo has been ghostwriting the stories of Holocaust survivors. It's the mid 1990's, Isabel is divorced from the father of her three children and in precarious relationships with three different men. Now, for the first time since she began ghosting, she’s having trouble finishing a book. This Holocaust survivor’s story brings up the angst she feels about not knowing how her own mother survived the war. And how much of Isabel’s inability to love just one man comes from the trauma of being raised by broken parents, also divorced? Miryam Sivan is the author of Make it Concrete (Cuidono Press, 2019). She is a former New Yorker who has lived in Tel Aviv for over 20 years. Miryam teaches literature and writing at the University of Haifa and has published scholarly work on numerous Israeli authors and American writers Cynthia Ozick, James Baldwin, and Jane Bowles. Her short fiction has appeared in various journals in the US and UK, and two of her short stories were adopted for the stage in London and New York. A collection, ANAFU and Other Stories, was published by Cuidono Press in 2014. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

I veckans STIL ska vi ta en titt på ett fenomen som på intet vis är nytt, men som har fått en sorts ny lyster under senare år - powerparen. Det vill säga par som förstärker, och förhöjer, varandra och därmed dubblerar sin makt eller attraktion. Ett inte helt ovanligt fenomen inom dagens populärkultur där redan framgångsrika personer bildar ännu mer framgångsrika par, vars spektakulära livsstilar genererar enormt intresse. Vi säger bara: Beyoncé och Jay Z. De toppar finanstidningen Forbes lista över 2013 års bäst betalda par. Men powerpar handlar förstås inte bara om romantiska, heterosexuella, par. Mer om det i veckans program. Att hitta rätta partner kan vara nog så viktigt på andra sätt, inte minst inom modevärlden. Där kryllar det av par som börjat romantiskt, men slutat i en mer realistisk syn på vad ett bra partnerskap kan innebära. Den franske modeskaparen Yves Saint Laurent och hans kompanjon Pierre Bergé är det mest kända exemplet. De berättar vi mer om. Och så finns det par som jobbar extra bra ihop. I veckans program har vi mött den nya svenska modeskaparen Ida Klamborn. Med färgstark och grafisk design har hon inte bara väckt uppmärksamhet i största allmänhet, tidigare i år kammade hon även hem pris som ”Årets nykomling” på Elle-galan. Och där var det en person som fick ett extra stort tack – hennes parhäst, stylisten Tereza Ortiz. Men hur hittar man en perfekt partner? Idag har vi alla möjligheter att finslipa våra eftersökningar, som aldrig förr. Nätets dejtingsidor blir allt mer finkalibrerade för att hjälpa oss i vår jakt. Hur funkar det? Det har vi också kollat upp. Och så berättar vi om ett par som gör allt tillsammans, och har gjort det under lång tid – modeskaparen Isabel Toledo och illustratören och kreatören Ruben Toledo. Båda kommer Kuba, men lever och verkar i New York där de arbetar med både couture och konfektion. De träffades som tonåringar, och har sedan dess varit oskiljaktiga. För allt de skapar, det skapar de tillsammans. Och så berättar vi om par som inte visat sig vara så bra konstellationer. Vi har varit på Dramaten och sett pjäsen Liv Strömquist tänker på dig! som är baserad på Liv Strömqvists tecknade serier om bland annat Whitney Houston och Bobby Brown, John Lennon och Yoko Ono.
Download In this episode of Fashion Forward Teens one of the fashion twins gets a new job, Toms lands a new partner in crime, Versace gets a face lift, Channel hits the big screen, the Beckham’s get their charity on. I also shine a spot light on one of my favorite brands and give a few fashion tips. In The News Ashley Olsen has become the newest addition to the CFDA, Council of Fashion Designers of America. She joins the ranks of designers like Teohlee Ten, Kenneth Cole, Isabel Toledo, Kate Spade, Deborah Lloyd, and Prabal Gurung. A new fashion alliance has been made, and shoes will never be the same again. Toms, the amazingly comfortable slip-ons that we teens love so much, has collaborated with Tabitha Simmons to create a collection of footwear that’s out of this world! Her beuatiful prints have transformed toms, but how did they meet? What inspired them? Well, Blake mycoskie, the founder of toms, and Simmons hit it off in New York, but it wasn’t the popularity of Toms or Blake, it was Tom’s buy a pair give a pair deal that lured her in. She loved it so much, that she even spent a week in Honduras helping with one of their giving projects. Tabetha’s crazy designs mixed with tom’s simple comfortable feel seems like a little much, but the collaboration works really well. There’s even one print, the I love you print, that’s inspired by tabetha’s children and the love letters she would send them when she was away.

The have had their share of contversy with claims of copyright and labor law violations but with their popularity amoung teens it looks like their success will continue. Fashion Tip Everyone knows vintage is totally chic. A jazzy fedora or some pearls, you decide. This episode’s tip is add a vitage touch. Go down to your local consignment shop and pick something out, because old is new. Accessories What’s the one accessorie must-have this season? Velvet shoes!! strappy heels, flats it doesn’t matter. Their totally cute and will go with pretty much anything. Jeans, dresses, you name it! Ashley Granata, F I T grad and textile designer, recently inherited her grandmothers scarf collection, and has done something amazing with it. After her grandmother passed away, Ashley learned that she had been a cancer survivor. Then, she got the idea to give cancer patients going through chemotherapy a little something to get through it. For every $50 raised by her Ashley Jeanne project, she gives a scarf to a patient at Brooklyn Hospital. That way some of these patients who are not only going through this, but are also losing their apperance, can control something in their life, how they look. Boys Fashion Some guys are always wondering, How can I dress to impress? What gets a girl’s attention? Well You don’t have to wear leather pants or dress like your from the 80’s. All you have to do is dress nicely and if you can’t do that on your own, get a girl’s advice. Your tip for this episode is ditch the jeans. No not permanently, just every once in a while. In my opinion, guys who wear more than just one pair of jeans all the time have some style. I mean, don’t get me wrong, some of you do look good in your old faded blue jeans, but whats wrong with khakis or something else, but if you just have to wear jeans, stick to the kind that fit. Oversized jeans are not in!
