Happy Valentine's Day! The first episode of Most Fashionable Crime, a fashion-related true crime podcast, will debut NEXT Monday, February 21st, 2022. I know I said it would be today, but it's worth the wait. The theme of this season is HOUSE and I am so excited to tell you the stories behind some of the biggest fashion houses.

I hope you all love this season as much as the last season. This season will be better. I have a better recording set up so the audio should be a lot better.

In the last bonus episode of the first season, the rise and fall of Mossimo, the brand, is discussed. How does this fit into a "fashionable crime", well to start the company was built off of a lie.

Whether you realize it or not, the majority of us fashion ourselves. According to Wikipedia, Self-fashioning, a term introduced by Stephen Greenblatt, is used to describe the process of constructing one's identity and public persona according to a set of socially acceptable standards. You curate your in-person and digital person and while you may not be an influencer or content creator, you probably have developed a persona. In this bonus episode, I talk about what is probably the biggest true crime story of the year. I didn't want to frame this as, "you never know what's happening behind the perfect pictures" because that is common knowledge and that doesn't really help anyone because most people put on their best face for the internet. 

I explore if this was just a case of "missing white woman syndrome", but I think there was a lot more to why her story received so much attention. I appreciated that Gabby received widespread media attention and that various agencies acted quickly on her case. Unfortunately that is not the case for all missing and murdered people. While she was not found alive, I have seen her loved ones advocate for other missing people since her death. I linked below some resources, please feel free to reach out to me if you think an organization or resource should be added.

In the ninth episode of the first season, I talk about wage theft. In the episode I focus on how garment workers are exploited due to fast fashion. Clothes are a necessity, but the people the construct our garments are not respected nor are they valued by most.

In this episode, I give you some fashion history and leave you off with a fashion question. Do you think the blue-lavender ball gown was stolen, gifted, or forgotten?

This episode is a little bit different because one side thinks a housekeeper stole a $150,000+ gown, but the police decided that she didn’t steal the gown.
