Welcome to a new series on the show where we will trace the evolution of fashion and cultural trends throughout the decade of the 2000s. This week we dive in to the Y2K era to discuss how technology, politics, and changing cultural attitudes impacted fashion trends and pop culture. I talk about the feeling of living in the "modern world" in the late '90s, the cautious optimism of Y2K, and (of course) some of my favorite Y2K trends.
