Fashism - Podcast Details

Shows

Roads to RomeRefashioning FashismIn this episode, we explore the fascinating journey of the Palazzo della Civiltà Italiana, also known as the “Square Colosseum.” Originally designed as a symbol of Mussolini’s fascist regime, the building has undergone a dramatic transformation over the decades, from a political monument to the headquarters of high fashion brand Fendi. We dive into the building’s controversial history, how it went from propaganda to pop culture, and the ongoing debate about whether architecture can ever truly be separated from its ideological origins. This is a story of art, power, and rebranding.2024-10-0910 min

We discuss architecture, programming, hysterectomies, polyamory, and of course, heterotopia. xoxo 2024-07-111h 04

fashismVivienne Westwood and the Roots of PunkVivienne Westwood is a fashion designer who was known for drawing from historical influences and sending messages with her designs. She got her start within the punk scene, brought parody of British royalty into her runways designs, and later became focused on climate issues. And so more so than with other designers we are drawn to asking questions about her ideologies - how did they develop, and to some degree, how genuinely are they reflected in her work? If you think you have deja vu, you don't. We did do a Vivienne Westwood series last y...2023-04-271h 06

fashismRhinestone Nudie Suits and the Queering of Country MusicThey're sparkly, they're colorful, they bear images of palm trees and wagon wheels - so why were they worn by dudes who claim to be more interested in race cars than music? Hope and Jackie dissect the meaning of Nudie Suits, sewn for country music stars in the 1940s by Southern California immigrant tailors, before country music turned its back on camp. The story of country music and its dress is one of working class branding, evolving masculine identities, and yes, Orville Peck (though we ALMOST forgot to bring him up.)

fashismPoly Styrene and Dayglow: Energy turned to Screaming ColorHope and Jackie are back at it again, returning with some ear hole goodness. This time we discuss fashion icon, punk musician, and writer Poly Styrene. She wore a highlighter color scheme that interlaced with her sound, poetry, and art. Her fashion shouted out to the world how scrupulous her frenemy relationship to Dayglo could be. So we dove into the world of Dayglo and asked the important questions, like wtf is Dayglo anyway? Well we get into it and it isn't what you think it is. Tune in to find out! Some r...2023-03-021h 05

fashismSurrealist Muse, Vogue Photographer, and Tortured Taurus: Lee Miller (Pt 1)Hope and Jackie have fallen for Lee Miller (1907-1977), an iconic 1920s Vogue model, surrealist photographer, and champion of the sad girl aesthetic.

fashismSeattle and the Antifashion of it AllIt started with some click bait from The Stranger, touting Seattle as the antifashion capital of the world. Hope and Jackie, famously unenthused by Seattle's relentless dependence on outdoor wear, nevertheless had to set the record straight about what exactly antifashion is. The resulting episode melds their thoughts on The Stranger piece by Charles Mudede, the history of antifashion as told by documentarian Olivier Nicklaus, as well as a collection of tangents that for whatever reason you keep coming back for.

fashismEdward Enninful Part 3: the Vogue eraHope and Jackie cover the final episode on Edward Enninful's A Visible Man and it's a doozy. More bad Italian accents and Kate Moss anecdotes. There is even a part where Kate Moss sings to him in front of a bunch of people, then give's Edward Enninful's mother-in-law a kabuki "make-over", which I don't know, sounds bizarre. Especially considering this is at Edward's big, fancy award party in London. Like how does she have that kind of make up on hand like that? Is she just carrying around a bag of make up with the hopes of g...2022-12-081h 10

Hope and Jackie watch the 2009 documentary The September Issue, which features Anna Wintour, Grace Coddington, and the whole Vogue #family as they work on the biggest issue of the year. Instead of watching for funzies, they watch through the lens of Michel Foucault's theory of Panopticism, thinking about the power that Vogue has over our ideas of norms. Enjoy!

fashismSusan Sontag’s Notes on CampWe are getting into the camp of it all. Hope did some reading on Susan Sontag's Notes on Camp and Jackie tried her hardest not to interrupt. What is camp anyways? Well we dive right into the red, heart shaped pool of camp and swim around the bedazzled remains of our rotting brains for the answers. For the sound bit, Jackie's computer crashed, and she doesn't want to hear about how you’re suppose to back up everything every day. She didn't ok! They recorded and the next day gone. So our solution is to amplify her vo...2022-09-151h 11

fashismIs She an Androgynous Fashion Icon or is She Just Wearing Pants?This week, Hope and Jackie manage to talk about basketball while also referencing Toward an Anthropology of Women and asking tough questions like "why won't our therapists help us party?" But the main dish is androgyny : what does it mean to dress androgynous now and what has it meant throughout the 20th century? We can't reeeaaally answer that question, but we can bring you a discussion about actress Marlene Dietrich, former NBA player Dennis Rodman, professional layabout Betty Catroux, and much beloved David Bowie.
