L.A. – fashion trend setter or second fiddle to New York and Paris?

With LA Fashion Week upon us, we might ask - is LA a fashion generator, like New York? And if not, why not? We may rule the jeans market, but what else? Does Hollywood siphon off all the potential fashion talent? Fashion insiders say “No!” They say Paris, London, Milan and New York runways don’t create fashion; they follow trends generated through our celebrity-focused culture, which is centered in Los Angeles, and on the streets of cities like ours, with its ground up style and “shirt-sleeve” business. Where do you look for your next “look”?

 

Guest:

Adam Tschorn (SHORN), LA Times Image staff writer who covers the fashion industry in Los Angeles.

 

Amy Brown, director of business development for The California Fashion Association, a non-profit organization that provides information for business expansion and growth to the apparel and textile industry of California.

Humiliating moment? Keep calm and carry on

Ever been humiliated? In his most recent book, Humiliation, author and cultural critic Wayne Koestenbaum dissects embarrassing social situations to make us question: so what? Koestenbaum deconstructs public humiliation anecdotes from pop culture, literature, cinema and history into revealing lessons about our most vulnerable moments. From personal stories of social faux pas to the public infidelities of politicians, he makes us question the immediate shame we feel when we may have done something out of the ordinary. What is your most embarrassing moment? Why was it so bothersome? How did you fix it? 

 

Guest:

Wayne Koestenbaum, English professor at the City University of New York Graduate Center, poet, cultural critic, and the author of Humiliation

 

2:44:00 – 2:54:00
