On Access, Luxury, Classism, and Elitism in Fashion with Samantha Haran
Description
José and Samantha Haran discuss elitism and classism in fashion, the evolution of fashion commentary through social media, and our thoughts on access, gatekeeping, and the meaning of luxury.
In this episode, Samantha and I also do a deep dive into the impact of social media. We discuss our own experience with creating platforms for commentary, Twitter vs. Instagram, and the cost of impartiality. We also talk about the over romanization of social medias’ “democratization” capacity and brands’ obsession with control over the information they share.
Samantha is a freelance fashion and culture writer and fourth year law student based in Australia.
