The Banana Wears Prada: Fashion and Food

הרצאה בעברית

Food and clothing have long transcended their roles as mere necessities. Culture imbues them with national, class, gender, and various other meanings, revealing a world of desires, traditions, and the pursuit of beauty. Yaara Keydar invites you to a tasting menu exploring these connections—from ball gowns adorned with lobsters to a cocktail that shaped fashion during Prohibition, sugar dresses, banana shoes, and watermelon bags. This is an invitation to embark on a compelling journey through the unexpected intersections of fashion and food, where questions of good and bad taste, the link between fast fashion and junk food, and humanity's oldest cravings—to eat and to dress—are all explored.
