April 1989 Fashion Etc.: Hats, Blurs & Swamp Swimsuits

Start listening

It’s a slimmed-down Fashion (etc.) issue this month, but we still find plenty to yell about in the features. Why aren’t any of the photos in “Going Fast” in focus? What is aspirational about a swimsuit shoot in a swamp? Who are they trying to kid with this friggin’ hat story? All this plus a bunch of new ads, a deep dive on Sassy Club and much much more in our latest episode!
