What we wear and how we wear it is more important than its artistic value. When some people think of fashion, the Met Gala or maybe even luxury designers may come to mind. But what about the old college sweatshirt that gets you through the cold or even the brightly colored gym set that pushes you to go that extra mile? Is that not fashion? Perhaps the concept of fashion has been framed as an external commodity to be sought after, rather than an authentic expression cultivated through the rhythm of a well-lived life. Brittany Luse sits down with <a href="https://www.instagram.com/cnnstyle/?hl=en"target="_blank" >CNN Senior Style Reporter</a> and author of <a href="https://www.cnn.com/newsletters/big-style-newsletter-landing-page"target="_blank" >CNN’s Big Style newsletter</a>, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/theprophetpizza/?hl=en"target="_blank" >Rachel Tashjian Wise</a>, to answer all those questions and more.
