Guests include Roddam himself, superstar fashion designer Anna Sui, mod historians Paolo Hewitt and Eddie Piller…and a cameo from Sid Vicious’s shirt.Season 5, titled Tailor Made, dives deep into the worlds of film and fashion.

BREATHLESS — Jean Seberg & Jean-Luc Godard dress down film and fashion

In 1959, a brash critic-turned-filmmaker named Jean-Luc Godard cast movie star Jean Seberg in his first film, BREATHLESS. You probably know it revolutionized movies, but it also had a big impact on fashion, onscreen and off—by seeming like it wasn’t even trying. With the help of historians and critics, host Rico Gagliano decodes Seberg’s “French Girl” style…and also gives you a peek into his ’70s disco wardrobe. Seriously.Season 5, titled Tailor Made, dives deep into the worlds of film and fashion.
