In Vogue discusses everything from the Met Gala to the Celebrity Effect to help listeners better appreciate how our style has evolved.
6. Fashion Victims Podcast
Here’s a podcast that aims to protect you from becoming—you guessed it—a fashion victim. Though the show acknowledges that fashion and style are absolutely subjective, it isn’t afraid to be a little cheeky by talking about overhyped fashions (think J.Lo’s green Versace dress). Hosted by Luke Meagher and Darnell Jamal, this series will shed light on fashion faux pas and how to look beyond the sparkle of celebrity fashion.
