Episode 16: Oscars costume design, female creative directors, and the rise of fashion watch parties

As the 98th Academy Awards ceremony approaches, we dig into this year's Best Costume Design nominees — Hamnet, Frankenstein, Sinners, Marty Supreme, and Avatar: Fire and Ash — and what each tells us about the craft, the mood of the moment, and the future of the category.We also get into one of fashion's persistent paradoxes, its gender gap: an industry mainly built by and for women, still largely led by men. From Dior's historic shift back to male leadership to the new generation of female creative directors quietly reshaping major houses, it's a moment worth paying attention to.And finally: fashion watch parties are getting big. Really big. We look at how events like "LA watchparty" are transforming the way fans and industry insiders experience fashion together, and ponder whether the thing that made it special can survive the sponsorship deals.Style Signals created by majelan studio.
