Ok this was so much fun!!! Thank you for tuning into our live chat on Rachel Sennott’s new HBO show I Love LA.
I would love to hear what you think of the show so far, who your favorite (or least favorite) character is, or a fashion moment that had you pressing replay :)
I’m also reposting the handy show notes that Tara wrote below, in case you want to skip around to a specific topic:
1:29 — Maggie (Viv’s perfect poodle) and Björk (my perfect pug) meet and show off their winter sweaters
4:00 — Our first takes on the show and how we’re enjoying it so far
8:50 — We share our Aralda vintage experiences. The IRL vintage shop, whose owner Brynn is fabulous and I have interviewed a couple of times, has to die for archival fashion. Viv talks about the Yohji dress that got away and I talk about the time I thought a $3,900 Prada corset was $390. (Spoiler: we were both humbled).
24:48 — Addressing the Girls and I Love LA comparisons.
25:34 — The generational tone of the show: how they represent millennials and Gen z characters
28:19 — Girls vs. I Love LA tackling work and career. The girl boss uniform vs. the personal brand aesthetic.
35:12 — Tallulah’s Cou Cou intimates PR package
38:00 — We mention Girls comparisons again…but is Tallulah the anti-Jessa Jessa? How both shows address the idea of how the ‘cool’ girls dress and how that is reflective of the culture of the time
49:00 — Maia’s fashion deep dive! How she dresses for the job she wants while also grappling with the insecurity of not being the talent herself.
1:01:48 — The sweetie that is Josh Hutcherson’s character Dylan and his Bode shirt. He is the anti-performative male and feels like he was written (and dressed!) by a woman.
1:14:14 — We hate Charlie…so much. How do you dress an insufferable transplant stylist who defines himself by the city he lives in…despite only caring about certain aspects of it and people in it?
1:20:00 — What is the christian singer TikTok guy going to end up wearing for his Las Vegas residency?!
1:32:40 — Alani’s nepo baby fashion: is it accurate? Do nepo babies wear Miu Miu and fresh out the box Margiela tabis?
