Remember When Everything Was Ugly?

from COVERED · host Natalie Brennan and Ruby Redstone

Today we get into some of the biggest sleeves of all time: the 1830s puff sleeves. But today’s fashion history exploration is twofold — because the sleeves of the 1830s were referencing the girls of the past, too. It’s time to look at the fashion history sleeve metaverse and the eternal pursuit of dressing absurdly. Plus, we theorize on the microtrends, Summer As Rebirth, and borough-specific dressing.
