As we approach the 250th anniversary of the United States’ founding, we’re living in a fashion world that’s more globalized than ever. K-pop stars mix with American celebrities and European designers to form a diverse and international fashion consensus.

But there’s still something ineffably unique about American fashion. From New England prep to country Western and urban hip-hop, there is no shortage of subcultures and aesthetics that originated in America and have become global phenomena.

On the Glossy Podcast this week, senior fashion reporter Danny Parisi and editor-in-chief Jill Manoff speak with Avery Trufelman, the journalist and host of the fashion and social history podcast Articles of Interest, about what American fashion truly is. We also break down which designers and brands today best emblematize what American fashion means today.
