Robin Givhan: The Battle of Versailles

From Hillary Clinton’s pantsuit to Donald Trump’s hair, fashion is an important part of how we view our political candidates. From her perch in our nation’s capital, Washington Post columnist Robin Givhan has a bird’s-eye view of the role that style plays in politics, parlaying her insight into the first Pulitzer Prize awarded for fashion writing. More than just a fashion commentator, Givhan is also a fashion historian, detailing the night a small group of American designers and models trounced French haute couture and revolutionized the runway in her recent book, The Battle of Versailles. Join Givhan and Gioia Diliberto (author of "Diane Von Furstenberg: A Life Unwrapped") for a conversation on the political weight of fashion and a reading.
