Meryl Streep and Anna Wintour chat at Vogue

The opening of the video has a somewhat familiar flair that will resonate with Devil Wears Prada fans. It's something incredible to watch these two powerhouses chat.

"The pair had a frank and far-ranging conversation filled with humor and insight. Much is revealed in the interview above, between the Pentagon Papers and the Mueller investigation, sexual harassment, female empowerment, and what Meryl and her daughters talk about around the dining room table."

Theater of Self: Daniel Lismore and Bin Feng SCAD Exhibition

Theater of Self, a SCAD-curated exhibition featuring ensembles styled by London-based artist and designer Daniel Lismore and photography by SCAD graduate student Bin Feng (M.F.A. photography), will be on view Dec. 1–13 at 1601 N. Miami Ave., Miami, Florida.

An exploration of constructed identity through fantasy and materiality, Theater of Self is a joint exhibition of fashion and photography by London-based artist, stylist and designer Daniel Lismore and SCAD graduate student Bin Feng (M.F.A. photography).

Lismore, who was named “London’s Most Outrageous Dresser” by Vogue for his outré style and wildly imaginative wardrobe, transforms everyday objects into living art. He juxtaposes the luxurious and unusual —charity-shop finds, vintage custom fabrics, discarded theatrical props and more — to express his unique sartorial vision. These life-size sculptural ensembles, each worn by the artist at one time, are reflections of his own multidimensional identity and are a tapestry of his journey to his true self. Theater of Self features more than 20 of Lismore’s most avant-garde, theatrically designed creations fashioned from his collection of couture and ephemera.

Complementing Lismore’s work are the cinematically styled self-portraits of Bin Feng, a SCAD graduate student and Shanghai-born artist living in the U.S. Staging himself in dramatic scenes, Feng captures the ethos of the elusive “American dream.” His carefully constructed tableaus make powerful statements about class, race and gender in Western society from an Eastern male perspective.

Theater of Self is co-curated by Rafael Gomes, SCAD director of fashion exhibitions, and Ben Tollefson, assistant curator of SCAD exhibitions.

UMANO Clothing - Fashion + Art

Alex Torrey Umano Clothing & E. Vincent Martinez

This is the story of two brothers and child artists who are making a difference in the fashion world and having an impact socially. During a visit to Athens, Ga, Umano Clothing co-founder, Alex Torrey, shared with me his (and his brother's) inspiring success story. They've been featured on Shark Tank and Vogue Magazine and (most importantly) in the lives of 100K + elementary school children.
