Longtime NPR correspondent Jacki Lyden now leads a radio and podcast project called The SEAMS. It’s an audio expedition of the fashion world and it explores how our clothes connect us to each other. To Lyden, everything we wear says something, whether we intend it to or not. She and fashion designer Simon Doonan join us Wednesday to discuss how fashion works. Is it merely trivial and frivolous, or does it say something important about our history and culture? [Rebroadcast]
Check out our sister web site, VideoWest, for a new video in our ongoing "Street Style" series, where we investigate fashion and style with the help of people we encounter all over Utah.
