Join host James Aguiar as he sits down with Pulitzer Prize winning author Robin Givhan. Robin is an acclaimed American fashion critic and journalist, currently serving as the Senior Critic-at-Large for the Washington Post where she covers fashion,politics, race and the arts.

Robin earned the Pulitzer Prize for Criticism in 2006, becoming the first fashion writer to receive that honor.

She has authored books such as The Battle of versailles: The Night American fashion Stumbled into the Spotlight and Made History (2015), and most recently, Make it Ours: Crashing the Gates of culture with Virgil Abloh, published June 24, 2025.

We speak about the in and outs of Virgil's rise to the top of luxury fashion and what inspires her to write a book in the first place. She takes a surprise question from a mystery person and explains what she thinks of Michael Jackson and Beyonce as fashion icons.

I also unpack the word "delusional" and hear my highs and lows which include the "dangling divas" and the fascinating life of a rock groups muse and inspiration.
