Articles of Interest is a show about what we wear.

Produced and Hosted by Avery Trufelman

In honor of the Met Gala, a special feature. This is an episode I produced with one of my favorite podcasts, Decoder Ring [https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/decoder-ring/id1376577202]. Together we asked the questions: what is a celebrity stylist? Where did this job come from? The answer was very fun.

Stylists (With Decoder Ring)

Why would God care what we wear? A tour through Islam, Mormonism, and Judaism, and all of their varying and overlapping commands.

Modesty

Sometimes it’s liberating to be naked. Sometimes it’s really really not.

Nudity

Color. Why we need it. Why we fear it. And where its future might lie.

Chromophobia

On stage in Toronto, with the help of shoe designer Aurora James and shoe historian Elizabeth Semmelhack, we go over a few shoes- and what they say about ourselves and the world.

A Few Shoes [LIVE]

You and I both know this. The supply chain is super messed up. The way humans make clothing is deeply messed up. So should we just make garments made of human hair?



A very real question, with very real answers.

Wearing Hair

This is a special re visit of one of my favorite stories: Pockets. Followed up by a special live interview with Hannah Carlson, author of the book Pockets: An Intimate History of How We Keep Things Close [https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/hannah-carlson/pockets/9781643751542/], to see what’s changed since the original episode came out.

More Pockets

Plus-sized fashion seems to live in a separate trend cycle. There are different patterns, different cuts. And most notably, women’s shirts often have holes in their shoulders. And this separate plus-sized fashion universe reveals a lot about the way clothes are made and measured… and the way clothes dictate who is allowed to participate in public life.



This episode was made in collaboration with the show Weight For It. Links, images, and more at articlesofinterest.substack.com [http://articlesofinterest.substack.com]

Plus Sizes

A secret society. A secret tradition. And a cloth that somehow lends itself to ritual.

(I can’t believe that, fatefully, this is the 11th episode of the year.)

The Corduroy Appreciation Club

Himanshu kept seeing paisley everywhere: from his home temple to his couch cushions to his mom’s pants. Some of these products were Indian but a lot weren’t. How did this pattern get embraced by the world?

Paisley

This is about two examples of cloth-alternatives. One that went extinct. And one that’s very much alive.



This story deals with sex and sexuality. But in a fun way!

Paper and Rubber

In the 1980s, Budapest was not quite socialist and not quite capitalist, and there was one fashion designer who thrived in this moment.



This is the story of Tamás Király, an unusual artist from an unusual period of Hungarian history, both of which were unusually short-lived. Because Király was murdered in 2013.



Photos of Király and his designs are at https://articlesofinterest.substack.com/ [https://articlesofinterest.substack.com/]

Fashion Without Capitalism

The tricky thing about fashion is that, in order to preserve its history, you need to preserve physical garments. And, alas, closet space is finite, cloth gets sun-bleached and eaten by moths, and Americans notoriously do not care about their fashion heritage. So this is why one woman decided to put a call out across the country and make a scrappy archive all by herself.

The Black Fashion Museum

Prison uniforms are not, in fact, uniform. There are so many types of clothes that are worn across different facilities… including … some prisons that don’t have uniforms at all.



This episode is a special collaboration between Articles Of Interest and Ear Hustle [https://www.earhustlesq.com/], dropping on both of our feeds. For images of the Broad Arrow, and to see a prison without uniforms, go to articlesofinterest.substack.com [https://articlesofinterest.substack.com/]

Prison Uniforms (with Ear Hustle)

Think of this mini episode as a tiny makeover in your ears.



Amy Smilovic, the founder of Tibi, has some of the best advice when it comes to gathering a wardrobe and putting outfits together. These are some of my favorite tips from Amy’s book, The Creative Pragmatist.
