episode The Art and Activism of Dress with MIchael Sylvan Robinson (Dressed Classic) cover

Description

In celebration of the Met Gala 2022 and American design, we speak to Michael Sylvan Robinson, the textile artist and queer activist behind Jordan Roth's show-stopping collaged "coat of many colors" worn to last year's festivities. Robinson joins us to discuss his thought-provoking use of textiles, clothing and the (dis)embodied form to explore entangled themes of identity, sexuality, violence, and healing.

Truman Capote's Black and White Ball (Dressed Classic)

Today we revisit a 2024 episode on one of the most fabulous parties New York City has ever seen, Truman Capote's Black and White Ball. Held at The Plaza hotel on November 28, 1966 as a masked fancy dress ball with a strict dress code of black and white, Capote gathered together a global coterie of artists, intellectuals, politicians and the international jet set for one of the most sought-after invitations of the 20th century.
