Dress Code Cracker Episode 5: Aaron Vilk

Dress Code Cracker discusses personal expression through style. 
Far outside the confines of mainstream consumer fashion culture, we consider pop culture, politics, modern art and feminism in discussing style as a means of personal expression. 
We talk to one guest bi-weekly about what they express when they get dressed and what informs their style.  Using an audio format forces a visual medium to be translated verbally. 
We look at dress as a daily exercise in creative self-expression, including as an expression of political beliefs. Dress can be a way to consider issues of oppression: via globalization/fast fashion, gender politics, race, feminisms, ableism and various types of 'body fascism'. 
Not to forget also how dress references culture and subculture. 
Dress code cracker is body and sex positive.
