Celebrities hit the red carpet for the 2024 Met Gala last night, one of the biggest events in fashion every year. Vanessa Friedman, New York Times Fashion director and critic, discusses the looks that won the night, the reputation of the Met Gala in the fashion world, and we take your calls.This segment is guest-hosted by Tiffany Hanssen.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for February 23, 2024 is: opprobrium • uh-PROH-bree-um • noun Opprobrium refers to very strong disapproval or criticism of a person or thing especially by a large number of people. // They're going ahead with the plan despite public opprobrium. See the entry > Examples: "Caught up in a whirlwind of public opprobrium, ... the brand's executives seemed unsure how to react, before finally offering up statements of public apologies and self-recrimination." — Vanessa Friedman, The New York Times, 1 June 2023 Did you know? Unfamiliar with opprobrium? Tsk, tsk, tsk. Just kidding—unfamiliarity with a word is hardly grounds for, well, opprobrium. We're here to learn! Besides, opprobrium is quite formal and has few close relations in English. It comes from the Latin verb opprobrāre, which means "to reproach." That verb, in turn, comes from the noun probrum, meaning "a disgraceful act" or "reproach." The adjective form of opprobrium is opprobrious, which in English means "deserving of scorn" or "expressing contempt." One might commit an "opprobrious crime" or be berated with "opprobrious language," for example.

On today's episode, the girls tackle some scary shit: Nicki Minaj vs. Megan Thee Stallion, The Zone of Interest (spoilers ahead!), American Nightmare, and the heterosexual jump scares on True Detective: Night Country. Also discussed: the fabulous John Waters show at the Academy Museum, the Conde Nast Strike, Sofia Coppola's lost Edith Wharton limited series, Dan Levy's Good Grief, Maison Margiela majorness, Simone Rocha's Gaultier collab, Chanel's Pennywise glam, and the forthcoming Kardashian-produced Elizabeth Taylor docuseries.

Vanessa Friedman has been the fashion director and chief fashion critic at The New York Times since 2014. Her lauded insight as a critic balances both the courage to speak to reality and a responsibility to inform her readers. Working at the intersection of culture and news journalism, Friedman has seen the landscape of the fashion industry change dramatically in the last decade. In this episode, she gives an honest and authoritative account of the state of fashion, speaking to hurdles that must be addressed in sustainability, production, and creativity in an age of short attention spans and ever-shortening fashion cycles. She discusses the new role of sports in the world of luxury branding, bringing a historical perspective to conversations around elitism and accessibility. Advising emerging journalists to find a unique voice, Friedman herself is always on the lookout for what's truly new, bringing to fashion journalism a willingness to be surprised. She hopes what's contemporary now is the kind of open-ended dialogue she conveys in her approach to fashion criticism.

When we first asked the question, “What is contemporary now?” we thought it made sense to explore the makings of culture by tapping into the varied perspectives of creatives whose work has helped shape the contemporary landscape. This season sees that dream continue, having the chance to speak to a master on the intersection of technology and image making and a brilliant young artist on the recontextualization of queer black culture. We explore how creatives lead successful luxury brands and even tap into the important role of the critic as a lighthouse amidst oceans of information.  Subscribe now for new episodes starting Monday, November 13 with Quil Lemons, Vanessa Friedman, Mel Ottenberg, Ruba Abu-Nimah, Brendon Babenzien, Willy Vanderperre, Amanda Harlech, Gordon von Steiner, Robin Galiegue, Thom Bettridge, Nick Knight, and many more.

When former President Donald Trump's mugshot was released, pundits immediately searched for meaning. Was it defiant? Was it embarrassing? Turns out what we see in that image could change over time. Brittany Luse is joined by Vanessa Friedman, senior fashion critic for the New York Times, to talk about the cultural meaning of infamous mugshots and their resounding impact on us.Then, we welcome Emory law professor emeritus Morgan Cloud to talk about the legal tool that's taking pop culture by storm: the RICO charge. We explore what the act was originally intended to do, and the role of the RICO reboot in several big pop culture cases today, from rapper Young Thug to fashion retailer SHEIN.

The journey from catwalk, to wardrobe, to landfill is getting shorter and shorter. Our demands for fast fashion mean around 100 billion garments are produced every year. We're buying more, then wearing them less often. Many will end up in the trash. Not only that, there's been a big growth in clothes being made out of synthetic materials originating from crude oil. In this updated edition, we ask: can fashion cost less to the climate? and how much progress is the industry making? Speaking to Kate Lamble and Sophie Eastaugh are- • Vanessa Friedman, New York Times Fashion Editor • Lily Cole Fashion model, actress and podcast host ‘Who Cares Wins' • Phillip Meister, Quantis Sustainability Consulting • Claire Bergkamp, Textile Exchange • Sonya Bhonsle, Global Head of Value Chains, CDP.

The Resale Edit: Weekly Edition #2-The hot news this week was Farfetch's option to acquire Yoox/Net-a-Porter from Brand House, Richemont. Richemont had to exit this business but Farfetch is the real winner. This is a game changer for Farfetch, already a leader in digital luxury, now folding in their largest competitor, Yoox/Net-a-Porter. The additional customer data and influence this gives Farfetch over luxury brands in both their direct-to-consumer and Farfetch Platform Services (FPS) should be concerning for luxury brands. From a resale perspective, FPS already includes some capabilities for brands to accept trade-ins and resell, although these capabilities have been fairly nascent to date. I expect Farfetch will be a resale player to watch in the future. Reflaunt, the B2B resale player that allows customers to list items in their account profiles on third-party marketplaces, closed an $11M funding round. Closing the fundraising in a difficult economic market illustrates interest in branded resale and maintains Reflaunt's relevance in the growing branded resale space. Mercari and The Real Real each published resale reports. The Mercari report rechecked the box that resale is big and growing in this case with parents, however, The Real Real (TRR) report included new data on emergent behavior in resale. Specifically "Since the beginning of the pandemic, we've seen two times as many people purchase something on The RealReal, then go back and re-consign it on The RealReal." While purchasing an item new or used is an existing behavior, trade-in or consignment is a relatively new behavior. TRR data point illustrates this behavior will become more mainstream as resale grows–customers will increasingly consider the resale value as a factor in the decision-making process when purchasing. This week had several stories about luxury bags as an asset class, including the way Gen Zs are fighting inflation–hmmm. Luxury bags continue to be an asset class just like art, wine, and more recently sneakers. Most Gen Zs can barely afford high-end art or handbags and very few are sitting around figuring out how to hedge inflation or invest for the future via handbags. Instead, this goes back again to customers considering the future resale value in their initial purchase. This is a significant change in purchase drivers, especially as luxury players are raising prices. Brands need a plan for how they manage their resale market. Finally, Vanessa Friedman, WSJ fashion editor, answered a question on the most sustainable options for back to work. She was right on point, “the truth is that there are no simple answers and definitely no perfect ones. Well, other than not buying anything at all.” If we are going to keep shopping we need a better model where shopping doesn't require commensurate growth in production- resale. All brands have the opportunity to lead the way and profit. The So What?1. Resale momentum continues. Brands need to take action to stay relevant and the sooner the better.2. Growth of resale will affect overall commerce as customers consider the future resale value as part of the initial purchase decision. This further cements the importance for brands to take control of their resale markets as part of their brand and pricing strategies.About Trove:Trove's Recommerce Operating System™ powers trade-in and resale for world-class brandsand retailers, delivering profitable and sustainable growth at scale.

Tolearn more, visit Trove.com‘I'm not worried about the recession: What inflation means for luxury resaleModern Retail The sale of luxury goods has historically remained stable during economic downturns. However, shoppers have never been faced with the inflation we see today, leading them to find alternative ways to shop for designer brands in resale. Although resale companies create a fantastic solution for consumers, they still have to face the uphill battle of turning a profit. In 2022, More People Bought Vintage Clothes, ‘Flipped' Resale Purchases, and Shopped Indie Designers on The RealRealFashionistaIn its annual Luxury Resale Report, the platform looks at its customer data to identify upcoming trends, purchasing behaviors, growing categories, and popular brands in the resale market. As the resale market has continued to grow, more and more shoppers are turning to reselling (aka. flipping) than ever before. Specifically, Gen Z sees flipping as an investment or source of revenue, making it a business for themselves. Primark enters resale vintage market with WornWellJust-StylePrimark is partnering with The Vintage Wholesale Company to create a new resale concession at its flagship Birmingham and Manchester stores- naming it WornWell. The store will allow customers to shop branded and non-branded vintage items from 70s, 80s and 90s trends.

Is Renting My Clothes Really the Most Sustainable Shopping Option?The New York TimesVenessa Freidman answers the question, “What is the most sustainable way to build a wardrobe?” in her column Ask Veness. Spoiler… there are only trade-offs, other than buying less or buying used (so long as it keeps items in use) Can Luxury Bags Be Smart Investments?Business of FashionAs top luxury labels raise prices and tighten distribution, designer bags are garnering higher prices at resale, with some styles from coveted brands retaining a significant portion of their retail value long after purchase.

It takes 11 to 19 bottles to make a shoe and up to 56 bottles to make a bag.Is Renting My Clothes Really the Most Sustainable Shopping OptionThe New York TimesThere is no best way to be a sustainable shopper or renter of apparel. With so many moving parts in the supply chain and the making of products at the end of the day, it comes down to what you value most. The Executive Director of the New Standard Institute said, “anything can qualify as fast fashion if you go through it fast enough, including rentals and secondhand” clothing.”Can Luxury Bags Be Smart InvestmentsBusiness of FashionDisrupted by the pandemic, the luxury handbag supply chain has caused an increase in demand on the resale market for the most coveted labels. These designer pieces are fetching a pretty penny in second-hand markets gaining more value after purchase. Compared to 2019, the average price for designer bags has increased 26%.Richemont, FarFetch Shares Climb on YNAP DealWomen's Wear DailyRichemont Strikes a deal with Farfetch!

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for July 28, 2022 is: ostentatious • ah-stun-TAY-shus • adjective Ostentatious means "attracting or seeking to attract attention, admiration, or envy." Things that are ostentatious tend to stand out as overly elaborate or conspicuous. // His ostentatious displays of knowledge were often less than charming. See the entry > Examples: "The Met Gala, in full ostentatious, crowd-pleasing costumery, returned this week, flooding the fashion news cycle." — Vanessa Friedman, New York Times, 11 May 2022 Did you know? Ostentatious comes from a Latin word meaning “display," and the idea of display persists in the English word's current use: people and things described as ostentatious seem to be practically begging to be looked at. The word is often applied to objects and buildings that can also be described as luxurious—flashy jewelry, mansions, edifices with marble columns. Someone with an ostentatious lifestyle spends money in a way that makes it obvious that they have a lot of it. Used in negative constructions—“the house is large but not ostentatious”—the implication is that display isn't the point.

Curated by Polimoda, this episode of Polimoda Duets, a series of documentary interviews involving some of the most outstanding cultural figures of our time, features The New York Times Fashion Director and Chief Fashion Critic Vanessa Friedman.

A new, bold generation of women leaders is ascending in America. They haven’t entirely ditched the pantsuit, but they have embraced eye-catching colors, up-and-coming designers, and statement-making clothes and accessories. Which means these women have also opened themselves up to the risks—and rewards—inherent in such choices. This past election cycle had no shortage of iconic fashion moments, from Vice President Kamala Harris accepting victory in suffragist white to Michelle Obama's "VOTE" necklace (by Los Angeles designer BYCHARI) going viral. Meanwhile, the fashion industry itself is being called on to take stronger political stances and right wrongs, past and present, particularly when it comes to issues of race, labor, and gender. Are we entering a new era of intertwined fashion and politics—and if so, what does it mean for these industries and institutions, and for the rest of us? What can the history of women and fashion in the political arena teach us about the perils and potential of statement-making—and sometimes barrier-breaking—style? Studio One Eighty Nine co-founder and president Abrima Erwiah, fashion designer Bibhu Mohapatra, and fashion historian and author Kimberly Chrisman-Campbell visited Zócalo to discuss the past and present of women’s fashion in American government, and what’s next.

Don’t miss the latest news - Ella Emhoff and Amanda Gorman signed with IMG Models. You will recognize them from the US inauguration.

When you're born with it, you don't need to show it off. When you buy them, it's okay that people see them.” -Nolan

Vanessa Friedman sees the fashion world from a vantage point few others can as the Fashion Director and Chief Fashion Critic at the New York Times. She arrived there after pioneering roles covering fashion at Financial Times in a first-ever role there, InStyle, Vogue, Vanity Fair, the New Yorker, and Elle.She shares the industry's forays into sustainability---or responsible fashion in her terms---as well as sharing her thoughts on it.Right off the bat she talked about reducing consumption, which I differentiate from reusing and recycling, which most people jump to, but I consider tactical. Reducing is strategic. Harder to get at first, but leads to easier life and work.I was awkward, as I don't know the fashion world, but you can hear from her that environmental responsibility is catching on in fashion. Barely so far, but in some places at least authentically and growing. It looks like there's hope in the industry, though they have a long way to go, a lot of resistance, and many players acting in the opposite direction.I'm also glad to hear Vanessa's personal attention, thoughtfulness, interest, which all sounded heartfelt, thorough, and genuine. At the New York Times she's at a leverage point so I suspect she will influence. I like that celebrities are acting because, however small that change, they influence others. I believe they can help change culture.How Vanessa Friedman Became One of the Foremost Critics in the Fashion Industry See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for December 12, 2020 is: antediluvian • an-tih-dih-LOO-vee-un • adjective 1 : of or relating to the period before the flood described in the Bible 2 a : made, evolved, or developed a long time ago b : extremely primitive or outmoded Examples: "But in the White Mountains grow the oldest trees on Earth, the gnarled antediluvian bristlecone pines." — Nick Burns, The New Statesman, 16 Sept. 2020 "The Zoom sweater is, after all, the seasonal next wardrobe step after the Zoom shirt…. For some, this may seem liberating: A final declaration of independence from the suit, and proof that after months of dressing for ourselves—and our perch in the corner of the couch—we have been freed from the constrictive suiting of white collar yesteryear (and all the antediluvian fashion rules they represent)." — Vanessa Friedman, The New York Times, 20 Aug. 2020  Did you know? Before there was antediluvian, there were the Latin words ante (meaning "before") and diluvium (meaning "flood"). In the 1600s, English speakers were using antediluvian to describe conditions they believed existed before the great flood described in the biblical account of Noah and the ark. By the early 1700s, the word had come to be used as both an adjective and a noun referring to anything or anyone prodigiously old. Naturalist Charles Darwin used it to characterize the mighty "antediluvian trees" some prehistoric mammals might have used as a food source, and in his American Notes, Charles Dickens described an elderly lady who informed him, "It is an extremely proud and pleasant thing … to be an antediluvian."

En el episodio de esta semana hablamos de un tema que nos fascina y que es la base del podcast: los estudios de moda. Aunque es un área académica que se ha popularizado muchísimo en los últimos años, su definición sigue causando bastante confusión y muchas veces se asocia a carreras como el diseño de modas, comunicación de moda y otras. Y aunque, finalmente, podemos vincularlas, son diferentes. Así que hoy hacemos una pausa a nuestras investigaciones y los temas coyunturales para hablar de los orígenes, la evolución y la importancia de los estudios de moda. Referencias: Aída Martínez Carreño, La prisión del vestido: aspectos sociales del traje en América (Planeta Colombiana Editorial, 1995).Caroline Evans, Fashion at the Edge: Spectacle, Modernity, and Deathliness (New Haven: Yale University Press, 2007).Elizabeth A.

New York Times fashion director and chief fashion critic Vanessa Friedman joins us to discuss New York Fashion Week, as part of our series “Review/Preview.”

Episode 38: As we move to "Phase 2" in Singapore, we think about what fashion will be like after lockdown. The uncertainties persist, but we are reassured by the points in Vanessa Friedman's essay "This Is Not the End of Fashion" in The New York Times. In addition, Dani talks about her presentation "Making Replicas: Open Source Resources and the Potential for Remote Fashion Research' in the aptly titled digital fashion conference "The New Normal”: Sartorial and Body Practices of the Quarantine Era" organised by Russian Fashion Theory editor Liudmila Aliabieva, which explored the effects of the pandemic on fashion and fashion studies.

Vanessa Friedman, fashion director and chief fashion critic for The New York Times, joins us to recap the virtual Met Gala.

Vanessa Friedman, fashion director and chief fashion critic for The New York Times, talks about her recent article, "Should We Still Go Shopping (Online)?," about the economic implications and moral concerns of online shopping during the pandemic.

With the ever evolving landscape of fashion media - from people buying fewer newspapers and magazines, to the changing role of advertising and reviews, to editors becoming influencers and vice versa, we discuss the direction that fashion journalism is taking in the age of digital and social media. In addition to writers Robin Givhan, Vanessa Friedman and Cathy Horyn mentioned in this episode, other personal favorites I (Henrietta) forgot to mention in the early morning moment is: Alexander Fury, Tim Blanks and Pam Boy - check them all out! As always we hope you enjoy the episode, subscribe, comment, rate (*****) and continue to DM us, we always love hearing what you have to say and very much appreciate your support :)

Découvrez RÉUNI, mon nouveau projetSuivez les aventures de RÉUNI sur Instagram I Twitter I Linkedin I Facebook Dans ce nouvel épisode, nous allons à la rencontre de Valérie Moatti, doyenne de la faculté ESCP Europe mais également professeure en supply chain et stratégie. Elle nous parle de développement durable, de l’évolution du monde de la mode et du grand déclic que nous sommes en train de vivre. J’ai adoré interviewer Valérie Moatti, j’espère que vous prendrez autant de plaisir à l’écouter.  SE RETROUVER DANS L’EPISODE 01 :10 : Valérie se présente et revient sur son parcours. 10 :00 : La Sustainibility dans la mode et son évolution sur ses 15 dernières années. 14 :00 : Les spécificités géographiques, cultures et sectorielles de la RSE.25 :50 : Les éléments déclencheurs qui ont permis le réveil écologique. 38 :00 : Comment on réinvente un nouveau modèle pour la mode. KEY LEARNINGS« Je me suis dit, on est à un moment où on a vraiment des choses intéressantes sur lesquelles réfléchir, je me sentais un peu trop dans le quotidien et l’action et je me suis dit c’est bien de prendre un peu de recul, se poser les bonnes questions sur les grandes évolutions de notre temps. »« Quand les entreprises communiquent, bien souvent c’est une première étape vers l’engagement. Car quand on a dit, on est un peu obligé de faire. C’est l’action qui suit la communication. » « On se rend compte que les seuls aspects qui été au jour dans le secteur de la mode en 2010 c’était le côté social, et pas du tout environnementale (...) C’est que depuis 1 an ou 2, avec vraiment une accélération ces derniers mois, qu’il y a vraiment un réveil autour du sujet environnemental au près des entreprises de mode. » « Il y a eu une Fake News sur le fait que la mode était le deuxième secteur le plus polluant, et il y a Vanessa Friedman qui est une journaliste de mode très célèbre du Financial Times a démontré que ce n’était pas vrai, il n’y a pas de preuves scientifique derrière. » « Je pense que c’est contraire à l’ADN du secteur, la mode par définition elle implique un renouvellement, une innovation, une création qui ne sont pas forcement compatibles avec l’ADN historique du développement durable. »« Le Sportwear a été plutôt en avance, c’était des précurseurs dans le secteur de la mode qui ont eu beaucoup d’influences. Ils ont ses valeurs là au sein même de leur activité »« Il y a notamment un organe très important en terme de Sustainability dans la mode qui s’appelle SAC, Sustainable Apparel Coalition, fondé par Yvon Chouinard, auquel ont adhéré un certain nombre d’acteurs dont Oasis et dont H&M, qu’on critique beaucoup. Une fois qu’ils ont affirmé qu’ils faisaient des choses, certes ce qui font n’est pas parfait mais ils font quand même une partie du chemin, il vaut mieux les encourager. »« Les spécialistes du climat nous font prendre conscience qu’il y a vraiment urgence, on est à un moment où les grands spécialistes nous disent que si on ne réagit pas tout de suite on court à la fin du monde, et c’est prouvé scientifiquement ! »« On est au bout du bout d’un modèle dans la mode, au delà des aspects écologiques et sociaux, ce n’est plus viable, il faut réinventer un modèle. »« Il y a vraiment une nécessité de s’engager ensemble, par ce qu’ils ont tous les mêmes problématiques donc ensemble on est plus fort, pour générer des innovations par exemple. Je suis convaincu que ça ne peut passer que par le collaboratif »« Changer les mentalités pour arrêter de consommer toujours plus, mais consommer mieux, typiquement une mode à la demande ça peut être une solution. »« Il y a le gaspillage au niveau du client final, étant donné que les prix sont devenus dans certaines enseignes tellement bas, pourquoi pas acheter un T-shirt de plus même à 5€ si on ne le met jamais. Tant qu’on ne change pas les mentalités, il y a beaucoup de gaspillage à ce niveau là, on a tous nos armoires remplies avec des choses qu’on ne met pas. Il faudrait aussi éduquer les personne en leur disant quand on achète un produit si je ne le mets au moins 30 fois, ça sert peut-être à rien de l’acheter, est ce que j’en ai vraiment besoin. Pour éduquer les mentalités ça va prendre du temps. »« Dans la mode tout reste à faire, si vous êtes motivé par ces questions là et que vous êtes intéressé par la mode c’est une très bonne nouvelle, ça va faire bouger les choses. Et je pense que la mode est prête. »REFERENCES : ESCP Europe Lectra Procter&GamblerGucci Auchan KeringPrintemps Fnac La Redoute MITIFM Patagonia Fédération de la haute couture Deloitte  Financial Times Puma OasicsStella McCartney SAC (Sustainable Apparel Coalition)H&MThe true cost of fashionLVMHKering Worn Again

Covering the fashion and luxury sectors in Europe, Lizzie’s writing focuses on business, tech and sustainability, along with Fashion Week coverage from London, Milan and Paris. “For me, it’s about being fair in my reporting, but it’s also about not being afraid of blowback from a brand for writing the truth.” - Elizabeth Paton, Reporter For New York Times Style On this week’s show, Lizzie shares more on her background, and how she originally planned to be a lawyer, but the recession among other events led her to become a fashion journalist.

Firefly is excited to launch our spring genre-specific series. This episode is brought to you by Casey Haymes, LUMINA’s Nonfiction Editor. Last month, Casey brought to the studio three Sarah Lawrence MFA writers with distinct voices, whose pieces all happen to orbit a unifying question: what does it mean to be at home? While these essays explore a range of styles and themes, each one engages in contemplation of what it means to be at home; whether that home is defined as a body, a city, a society, or a religion. Through their musings, we begin to get a sense for what it means inhabit the spaces where we find ourselves, and to find ourselves changed by that space. This episode features the work of Brynn Bogert, Amanda Claire Buckley, and Vanessa Friedman. Theme music for the podcast was composed by musical artist and producer, Myles Karp.

Natalia referred to historian Christopher Petrella’s Washington Post piece on the nativist sentiment that inspired the Pledge. Neil recommended historian Kevin Kruse’s book One Nation Under God: How Corporate America Invented Christian America on how “under God” was added to the Pledge during the Cold War. Socialite and style icon Lee Radziwill has died. Neil recommended Vanessa Friedman’s New York Times article on her legacy as an “influencer,” and Natalia suggested this piece at The Cut about “the Cinderella trap.” Natalia and Neil recommend Grey Gardens, the 1975 documentary and Broadway show.    In our regular closing feature, What’s Making History: Natalia shared her Well+Good article, “Yoga Pants Made Lululemon Founder a Billionaire – Why Isn’t He More Grateful to the Women Who Wear Them?” Neil discussed Jasmine Sanders’ New York Times article, “A Black Legacy, Wrapped Up in Fur.” Niki recommended Geraldo Cadava’s Washington Post article, “How the Border Wall Divided the GOP.”

This week New York Times fashion director and chief fashion critic Vanessa Friedman talks to your hosts about her month-long probe into the sexual misconduct allegations against photographers Marion Testin and Bruce Weber. In January this year, dozens of men stated that Mario Testino and Bruce Weber had secually exploited them on set. Next, similar allegations were levelled against Patrick Demarchelier.The domino effect commenced: within just a few months, a handful of fashion's most powerful photographers had been dethroned, denounced and accused of exploiting their immense power. Yet the backlash was muted, and a wider, mainstream ripple was basically nonexistent. The men weren't publicly slated in the way that various Hollywood figures had been, and most publications chose to quietly phase them out as opposed to issuing public statements.Monica and Camille talk to Vanessa Friedman about the importance of real accountability in the fashion industry and why there is still a way to go despite the #metoo awakening. They also ask her about what it takes to be an objective and fair arbitrator in the creative field, the importance of critical feedback for all and the new role social media has started to play in this field.

On 11 and 13 February 1903, the Winter Palace, St Petersburg, was the venue for one of the most opulent costumed entertainments hosted by a Russian Tsar. It was also to be the last. In reviving the spectacle of the Romanov’s gilded past, Nicholas II, his family and court, demonstrated the untenable gulf that existed between their privilege and the poverty of their subjects. The golden, bejewelled and furred costumes worn at the Ball symbolise a moment, at once triumphant and tragic, just before two opposed worlds clashed violently in the Russian Revolution.  Today, the spectre of the Romanovs continues to compel and cautionary lessons exist for those willing to heed them. The gulf between rulers and ruled, leisure and labour, continues to create problems in the twenty-first century, and costume remains adept at conveying this. Recent commentary on Melania Trump’s clothing presents strong parallels with Tsarina Alexandra, whose ball gown may have cost $10 million. If the Romanov Ball is important for marking a specific point in time, it is also significant for reflecting broader themes and tensions between the ideal and reality of authority and society. It shows, too, how these attitudes are reflected in what we wear, sometimes with unintended and tragic results. The Romanov Ball Greg King, The Court of the Last Tsar: Pomp, Power, and Pageantry in the Reign of Nicholas II (John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2006).

This week's question: Tinder? This week's quote: “If you’ve talked to me in the last 365 days you know about my deep, deep love of tinder.” My friend Vanessa and I talk Tinder, invent Twinder, and get into WWOOFing, Beltane, and, like, a bunch of queer stuff. (It’s inevitable when you end up recording in Portland.) There’s something in here for everyone! Especially if you’re Catherine (sp?) or Melissa, two of the many chicks we live Tinder. Is it called live Tindering? Should I call them chicks? Probably not.
