The American Ivy series on Articles of Interest and the Polly Platt series on You Must Remember This are 2 of my favorite podcasts episodes!

“Having gone to a boarding school (that I hated), this series changed my life. So fascinating- also love the paisley episode. This weirdly continues to be a style reference for me for reasons I never expected.”

“Articles of Interest is an amazing podcast about the history of fashion and material culture writ large. I recommend starting with the American Ivy season which dissects “preppiness” (J crew, brooks brothers etc.) and all of the ways it is not a product of WASPs at all (go figure). Perfect for all my former american studies majors out there ✊”

“Avery traces the history of American preppy style from Japan to the Ivory Tower. A delightful sub series!”
