Summer Shorts: The high vis jacket and gilet jaune face off

from Garlic & Pearls

Fluorescent high-vis clothing - beacon of hope or luminous nightmare? Suzanne has embraced high vis as a liberating garment and analyses its uses in preventing harm and in signalling authority. But is the generalised wearing of it in Britain getting out of hand? Muriel looks through the political prism of the gilets jaunes (yellow vests) movement, which in France appropriated the garment and turned it into a banner for the disenfranchised. Surprise guest star: Karl Lagerfeld. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
