Tailcoats to Tan Suits: Presidential Fashion with Summer Anne Lee

Today’s episode threads history through the needle of style as we welcome our first-ever fashion historian, Summer Anne Lee. Based in Brooklyn and teaching at the Fashion Institute of Technology, Summer brings deep expertise in everything from subcultural style to the evolution of women’s undergarments. Now, she’s turning her sharp eye to the wardrobes of America’s commanders-in-chief with her forthcoming book, Presidential Fashion: An Illustrated History, set to be published by Yale University Press.
