What if your favorite blazer carried centuries of hidden meaning? In Articles of Interest, award winning journalist Avery Trufelman unpacks how clothing shapes—and reveals—our social worlds. This podcast dives deep into the surprising histories and cultural forces behind what we wear, showing how garments are tied to identity, power, capitalism and class. The guest voices that Trufelman engages — historians, designers, sociologists and everyday wearers — help reveal how fashion operates as a form of storytelling, protest, and aspirations. Each week, participants will select two Articles of Interest episodes for the members to listen to before the study group session. We will then engage in lively discussions, share our insights, and explore the themes and questions raised by the podcast. Along the way, we will ask questions like “Who decides what’s cool?” “How do trends spread?” and “What do our clothes say when we’re not speaking?” No previous knowledge of fashion is required—only a curiosity about the forces that shape what we wear. Whether you love a good hoodie, obsess over sneakers, or want to understand punk style, come ready to engage and never look at your closet in the same way again.
