Influencers are known for shamelessly taking photos in public, often posing for forced lifestyle images that feel cheap and cheesy. Influencers will tag just about anything, right on down to a fruit drink, in a post that links \u003ca href=\"https://www.liketoknowit.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">items for sale, from which they earn a commission\u003c/a>. Just a couple weeks ago, an influencer used the eerie wildfire-orange skies of San Francisco as a backdrop to sell a $200 orange tulle dress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So when it comes to mocking influencers and how they are generally seen? I get it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the influencer space is also female-dominated. It’s an arena that gives women a platform on which to become very successful, and to be their own boss, with very little investment. That’s part of why it’s mocked, I believe: because it is a predominantly female industry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I am Black. I am biracial. I am a Black, biracial, person-of-color influencer. And while there’s certainly no shortage of influencers here in wine country, the pool is significantly smaller for Black biracial POC influencers. This sometimes plays to my advantage, but it also means I’m left feeling like the “diversity token” at many local winery and hospitality events. [aside postID='arts_13881650']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When I decided earlier this year to join marches for Breonna Taylor and George Floyd, and to use \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/amusedblog/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">my Instagram platform\u003c/a> to speak up about the racial injustices occurring both locally and nationwide, many wineries conspicuously unfollowed me—even after posting the “black square of support” on #BlackoutTuesday. When the driver of a Porsche \u003ca href=\"https://www.reddit.com/r/santarosa/comments/hd1myp/this_is_the_porsche_that_attacked_the_protest/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">accelerated into our march one night\u003c/a>, ramming its way through our group, I shared it to my Instagram stories. It generated 12,762 impressions, but not a single brand or winery had any response to it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Neither did they reach out to speak to me privately about it at the time, or in the weeks that followed. Neither did any local influencers except one, another Black woman.

We all know. You know. The brands, the wine and hospitality industries, they know. And they choose to either remain silent, or do the bare minimum. Many have continued on with business as usual.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Part of this is because only 2% of the industry’s winemakers identify as Black. I’ve seen nearly every excuse in the book for this: POC’s lack of access to wine, or that the Black community isn’t educated enough to understand that wine can be a career, a claim that’s absolutely absurd.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, as brands like Crest, Target, Josh Wines and Revlon have been willing to generously compensate me, the local Sonoma and Napa wine and hospitality industries are slow to do so. Many wineries push back with excuses of a small marketing budget. But is that really true? [aside postID='pop_112536']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Take the practice of fellow influencers and social marketers reaching out to me and several other “friends” to join them for winery events. These event coordinators will invite 4-10 influencers from San Francisco and the wider Bay Area, and throw in 1-2 local influencers to participate in what’s called a “lifestyle event,” the idea being that the influencers will share the experience with their audience via social media and websites. Contracts are signed; I am often asked to sign away my image, likeness, and image rights to participate in events such as these. This means that my face and images can be used in marketing materials, in perpetuity, without mention of my name, however the winery desires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It is rare that I am compensated for these events—again, usually I am fed the “narrow marketing budget” excuse. So when I later discovered that my “friends” earn thousands of dollars to invite me and others, while contracting out the use of my platform, I felt betrayed. The wineries are indeed willing to pay; even the same wineries which in the past had told me they had no budget.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A handful of wineries have shown support for Black Lives Matter in these past several months, but even fewer have actually held themselves accountable to it, which means it’s performative. When one winery was recently asked on social media what they’d done to keep themselves accountable to their promise, they responded with their commitment to “equal opportunity employment.” That is a legal demand in fair and equal employment, regulated by national law—not an opportunity to pat oneself on the back. [aside postID='arts_13883979']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another telling moment came when I asked my Instagram community: “What local wineries have shown support for Black Lives Matter?” I received multiple mentions of wineries that my followers had felt claimed to support Black Lives Matter, but didn’t in practice. When I tagged these wineries with my followers’ responses, offering them a chance to respond, what I got instead were passive-aggressive responses from one winery owner, and then private messages from a “Black man from East Oakland” the winery had sent to me, who they’d worked with in the past, and who told me to remove my content.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then, the winery asked me if I could lead a videoconference discussion on race with their wine club members, without any compensation offered. After they agreed to set up a call with just me, one-on-one, they continued to read my messages. But wouldn’t you know it?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They stopped responding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-13886691\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2020/09/WIneries.Vineyards.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/09/WIneries.Vineyards.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/09/WIneries.Vineyards-160x160.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/09/WIneries.Vineyards-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 4.6875em; float: left; line-height: 0.733em; padding: 0.05em 0.1em 0 0; font-family: times, serif, georgia;\">T\u003c/span>o see most of the wineries that I’ve worked with fail to even acknowledge the Black Lives Matter movement tells me that they care more about alienating their consumer base than they care about my life. Perhaps they feel that it would be “too political” a stance to take.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But wine has always been political. It was political during prohibition. It was political when Dry Creek Valley grew \u003ca href=\"https://sonomacounty.ca.gov/PRMD/Planning/Historic-Resources/Dry-Creek-Valley/Settlement/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">mainly fruit trees\u003c/a>. It was political when Napa County \u003ca href=\"https://winesvinesanalytics.com/features/article/93725/Napa-Valley-Viticulture-A-Farmers-Outlook\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">established its urban growth boundary\u003c/a> in 1983. It was political when environmentalists raised \u003ca href=\"https://www.theava.com/archives/9057\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">issues of water usage and runoff\u003c/a> into watersheds. Do not allow misleading rhetoric to trick you into thinking that the wine industry, with all of its \u003ca href=\"https://winewaterwatch.org/2019/05/under-the-influence-how-the-wine-industry-dominates-sonoma-county-election-campaigns-2-2/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">lobbying power\u003c/a>, is not political. It is. Only what we are seeing here is that the wine industry would like to pick and choose its politics to keep visitors with a certain skin tone comfortable, in a space where the \u003ca href=\"https://www.bohemian.com/northbay/fruits-of-their-labor/Content?oid=2284786&showFullText=true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">labor of people of color\u003c/a> is crucial.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the majority of lifestyle events I’ve worked, I have been the only person of color, and the only Black female. So it’s hard to witness this conspicuous silence from wineries, just as it’s hard to see so much lip service and performance-based allyship.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Performance-based allyship is posting Black Lives Matter content only to Instagram stories, because you don’t want it to ruin your main feed; using a 24-hour window to speak up about injustice knowing it will quickly disappear isn’t speaking up. Performance-based allyship is posting to your Instagram feed but making no real changes in your company’s policy, approach to business, or personal daily life. Performative-based allyship is just that: an act.[aside postID='arts_13881199']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Being an ally isn’t easy. It’s scary, and upsetting, and the guilt that sometimes comes with learning about systemic racism can be uncomfortable. Well-intentioned people are afraid to offend, or to make mistakes in the learning process of becoming an ally, and that’s understandable. But here’s the thing: do it anyway. Make the mistakes. Fall on your face. And then get back up and dust yourself off. It will be ok. Allyship is a learning process. It will take a lot of reading. There will be conversations that you dread. But it will lead to understanding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I was thinking about all of this last night when I received a DM from a local winery owner. She’d been silent in the past several months, but actively listening. “Can you call me?” she asked. “Do you have time to chat?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By the end of the conversation, I had tears in my eyes. She and I made plans to meet in person to discover how we can work to actively support Black communities here in Sonoma County. She wants to make a difference. “I’ve been watching. I’ve been listening. And now I’m ready to act,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And together, I believe we will. We’ll work to bridge the gap between underrepresented faces of color in the wine and hospitality industries in Sonoma County, and put action to the words that Black lives matter for others to follow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That is the power of influence.

Influencers are known for shamelessly taking photos in public, often posing for forced lifestyle images that feel cheap and cheesy. Influencers will tag just about anything, right on down to a fruit drink, in a post that links \u003ca href=\"https://www.liketoknowit.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">items for sale, from which they earn a commission\u003c/a>. Just a couple weeks ago, an influencer used the eerie wildfire-orange skies of San Francisco as a backdrop to sell a $200 orange tulle dress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So when it comes to mocking influencers and how they are generally seen? I get it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the influencer space is also female-dominated. It’s an arena that gives women a platform on which to become very successful, and to be their own boss, with very little investment. That’s part of why it’s mocked, I believe: because it is a predominantly female industry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I am Black. I am biracial. I am a Black, biracial, person-of-color influencer. And while there’s certainly no shortage of influencers here in wine country, the pool is significantly smaller for Black biracial POC influencers. This sometimes plays to my advantage, but it also means I’m left feeling like the “diversity token” at many local winery and hospitality events. \u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

These event coordinators will invite 4-10 influencers from San Francisco and the wider Bay Area, and throw in 1-2 local influencers to participate in what’s called a “lifestyle event,” the idea being that the influencers will share the experience with their audience via social media and websites. Contracts are signed; I am often asked to sign away my image, likeness, and image rights to participate in events such as these. This means that my face and images can be used in marketing materials, in perpetuity, without mention of my name, however the winery desires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It is rare that I am compensated for these events—again, usually I am fed the “narrow marketing budget” excuse. So when I later discovered that my “friends” earn thousands of dollars to invite me and others, while contracting out the use of my platform, I felt betrayed. The wineries are indeed willing to pay; even the same wineries which in the past had told me they had no budget.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A handful of wineries have shown support for Black Lives Matter in these past several months, but even fewer have actually held themselves accountable to it, which means it’s performative. When one winery was recently asked on social media what they’d done to keep themselves accountable to their promise, they responded with their commitment to “equal opportunity employment.” That is a legal demand in fair and equal employment, regulated by national law—not an opportunity to pat oneself on the back. \u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Perhaps they feel that it would be “too political” a stance to take.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But wine has always been political. It was political during prohibition. It was political when Dry Creek Valley grew \u003ca href=\"https://sonomacounty.ca.gov/PRMD/Planning/Historic-Resources/Dry-Creek-Valley/Settlement/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">mainly fruit trees\u003c/a>.

It was political when environmentalists raised \u003ca href=\"https://www.theava.com/archives/9057\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">issues of water usage and runoff\u003c/a> into watersheds. Do not allow misleading rhetoric to trick you into thinking that the wine industry, with all of its \u003ca href=\"https://winewaterwatch.org/2019/05/under-the-influence-how-the-wine-industry-dominates-sonoma-county-election-campaigns-2-2/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">lobbying power\u003c/a>, is not political. It is. Only what we are seeing here is that the wine industry would like to pick and choose its politics to keep visitors with a certain skin tone comfortable, in a space where the \u003ca href=\"https://www.bohemian.com/northbay/fruits-of-their-labor/Content?oid=2284786&showFullText=true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">labor of people of color\u003c/a> is crucial.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the majority of lifestyle events I’ve worked, I have been the only person of color, and the only Black female. So it’s hard to witness this conspicuous silence from wineries, just as it’s hard to see so much lip service and performance-based allyship.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Performance-based allyship is posting Black Lives Matter content only to Instagram stories, because you don’t want it to ruin your main feed; using a 24-hour window to speak up about injustice knowing it will quickly disappear isn’t speaking up. Performance-based allyship is posting to your Instagram feed but making no real changes in your company’s policy, approach to business, or personal daily life. Performative-based allyship is just that: an act.\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Cozy cotton. Floating silk. The house dress is having a 2020 renaissance. Flowy tunics, chic kimonos and muumuus, and ankle-length T-shirts are floating into more and more shopping carts—a sartorial coping mechanism for the modern pandemic age.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Clothes and mood are intertwined, argues fashion psychologist Dawnn Karen, author of \u003cem>Dress Your Best Life\u003c/em>. And so, the house dress is a perfect fit for this moment: a small expression of control during the uncontrollable, a taste of free-flowing freedom in a time rife with restrictions, a sense of structure and style on the days that feel hazy and dull.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’ve actually gotten rid of some fancier dresses to make room for more house dresses because … I would say I’m wearing a house dress at least three times a week,” says Preeti Chaulk, a data manager from Cincinnati. House dresses followed her around Instagram—worn by influencers, advertised by brands—soon leaving a trail of striking floral designs \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/preetichaulk/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">on her own feed\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For decades, the house dress got a bad rep—a throwback to the times when women’s sway was confined to housework. Its origin is said to trace to a Victorian gown that freed women of corsets but clad them instead in a baggy matronly smock named after “Mother Hubbard” from old nursery rhymes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even as the house dress got more shapely and stylish, its focus was chicness during chores—some in the 1940s and ’50s even came with matching oven mitts.

Evidently, Stoni isn’t familiar with slowing down either, as she’s been occupying her time by \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/CallHerStoni/status/1251240115227123714?s=20\">drawing folks\u003c/a> on commission—she’s done over 20 pieces.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pReD5WRO3vI\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 4.6875em;float: left;line-height: 0.733em;padding: 0.05em 0.1em 0 0;font-family: times, serif, georgia\">O\u003c/span>ne of the silver linings of this downtime is the ability to get familiar with artists I should’ve been listening to.

The new 420-friendly video for his song “\u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/tv/B_NbXTSFLPN/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link\">Birthstones\u003c/a>” is a great introduction to his lyrical space odyssey of an album, \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://ffm.to/spaceninja\">Afronaut\u003c/a>\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Need more vibes?

When it does, “I think it’ll be slow, especially walk-ins,” she says, aware that people may be cautious of skin-to-skin contact with strangers. “Everything will be different.

Pierce had been consistently booked out two-to-three weeks in advance at Santa Rosa’s Glass Beetle Tattoo, bringing in an average of $700–$900 a week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So sometimes as much as $4,000 a month. And that’s after taxes, plus cash,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pierce also benefited from changes at the shop brought on by AB5, the California assembly bill meant to reclassify gig workers and independent contractors as employees. While other rent-your-station businesses like hair salons, barber shops and tattoo parlors struggled with the bill’s byzantine restrictions, the owner of Pierce’s shop simply put everyone on payroll and proposed a commission model. For every tattoo Pierce does, the shop gets 40%, and she gets 60% plus tips. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Often, like many restaurant servers, Pierce lives off those cash tips for day-to-day expenses. She and her boyfriend spend $100–$200 a week on groceries (a book laying on her shelf is titled \u003cem>101 Things to Do With Ramen Noodles\u003c/em>). Between her insurance and loan payment on her 2017 Mistubishi Mirage, she spends $250 a month on the car. A therapist helps with the stress of work (“I recommend it literally for everyone,” Pierce says); she pays on a sliding scale at $40–$60 a week. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13878433\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2020/04/EmmaPierce.Station-800x534.jpg\" alt=\"Emma Pierce at her station, which has been empty since the shutdown closed the tattoo shop where she works.\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13878433\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/04/EmmaPierce.Station-800x534.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/04/EmmaPierce.Station-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/04/EmmaPierce.Station-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/04/EmmaPierce.Station-1020x681.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/04/EmmaPierce.Station.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Emma Pierce at her station, which has been empty since the shutdown closed the tattoo shop where she works. \u003ccite>(Graham Holoch / KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Pierce saves money in other ways. She bought a used iPad Pro for $500 on eBay (about half the cost of a new one), which she uses to draw tattoos for appointments. When she’s working, she has enough bookings that she doesn’t need to pay for Instagram ads, and the shop owner buys communal supplies like needles, tubes, inks, gloves and paper towels. And she’s still covered under her mom’s health insurance plan for another month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her most emphatic advice, for young people especially, is to set up a direct deposit into a savings account. She sends 10% of each paycheck into her savings automatically. “It’s really helpful, you don’t have to even think about it, and then you have a little bit in savings after a while,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She does note that she was privileged to live with her mom until a month ago, and to not have experienced much financial hardship. But she also works hard, coming home from work at 8 or 9pm and then drawing the next day’s appointments until midnight. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Considering how she learned to tattoo, you could say Pierce is used to hard work. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13878431\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2020/04/EmmaPierce.Couch_-800x500.jpg\" alt=\"Emma Pierce at her apartment in Santa Rosa.

Pierce had been consistently booked out two-to-three weeks in advance at Santa Rosa’s Glass Beetle Tattoo, bringing in an average of $700–$900 a week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So sometimes as much as $4,000 a month. And that’s after taxes, plus cash,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pierce also benefited from changes at the shop brought on by AB5, the California assembly bill meant to reclassify gig workers and independent contractors as employees. While other rent-your-station businesses like hair salons, barber shops and tattoo parlors struggled with the bill’s byzantine restrictions, the owner of Pierce’s shop simply put everyone on payroll and proposed a commission model. For every tattoo Pierce does, the shop gets 40%, and she gets 60% plus tips. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Often, like many restaurant servers, Pierce lives off those cash tips for day-to-day expenses. She and her boyfriend spend $100–$200 a week on groceries (a book laying on her shelf is titled \u003cem>101 Things to Do With Ramen Noodles\u003c/em>). Between her insurance and loan payment on her 2017 Mistubishi Mirage, she spends $250 a month on the car. A therapist helps with the stress of work (“I recommend it literally for everyone,” Pierce says); she pays on a sliding scale at $40–$60 a week. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13878433\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2020/04/EmmaPierce.Station-800x534.jpg\" alt=\"Emma Pierce at her station, which has been empty since the shutdown closed the tattoo shop where she works.\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13878433\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/04/EmmaPierce.Station-800x534.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/04/EmmaPierce.Station-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/04/EmmaPierce.Station-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/04/EmmaPierce.Station-1020x681.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/04/EmmaPierce.Station.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Emma Pierce at her station, which has been empty since the shutdown closed the tattoo shop where she works. \u003ccite>(Graham Holoch / KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Pierce saves money in other ways. She bought a used iPad Pro for $500 on eBay (about half the cost of a new one), which she uses to draw tattoos for appointments. When she’s working, she has enough bookings that she doesn’t need to pay for Instagram ads, and the shop owner buys communal supplies like needles, tubes, inks, gloves and paper towels. And she’s still covered under her mom’s health insurance plan for another month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her most emphatic advice, for young people especially, is to set up a direct deposit into a savings account. She sends 10% of each paycheck into her savings automatically. “It’s really helpful, you don’t have to even think about it, and then you have a little bit in savings after a while,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She does note that she was privileged to live with her mom until a month ago, and to not have experienced much financial hardship. But she also works hard, coming home from work at 8 or 9pm and then drawing the next day’s appointments until midnight. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Considering how she learned to tattoo, you could say Pierce is used to hard work. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13878431\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2020/04/EmmaPierce.Couch_-800x500.jpg\" alt=\"Emma Pierce at her apartment in Santa Rosa.

We know the answer to the first question, at least creatively: The new incarnation of \u003cem>Runway\u003c/em>, starring Christian Siriano and Karlie Kloss, is better than most of us expected, and Siriano in particular has carved out a very different mentor role than Gunn’s that’s satisfying in new ways.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We’ve now arrived at the other half of the question: Can Tim and Heidi make a show that’s not \u003cem>Runway\u003c/em>?

That’s not only true because of the locations (New York and Paris, to start).

It seems like you’re supposed to feel like the panel discussion is higher stakes, because the designers have a chance to save themselves.

That means it’s less likely—not impossible, but less likely—that the designers will be judged on whether they can physically construct a dress in a very short time. There aren’t as many unfinished hems or terrible seams, and that means the focus is more on the actual design. (This is also the case over on Netflix’s \u003cem>Next In Fashion\u003c/em>.) Similarly, the challenges are far looser and more thematic, rather than weird stunts like “design new outfits for the servers at Susan Sarandon’s ping-pong club.” (An actual \u003cem>Project Runway \u003c/em>challenge.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The worst of the changes is that Amazon looms over the show, not only as the streamer showing it, but as a seller of goods.

It’s only fair to note that \u003cem>Runway \u003c/em>itself has a history with product placement that borders on parody; that is a show that once forced people to design clothes based on Yoplait frozen yogurt flavors.

In most challenges, you’ll see each designer make both a “runway look” and an “accessible look.” That’s good. That’s an acknowledgment that judging clothing both by “is this wildly innovative enough for a runway show?” and “would this sell to large numbers of regular people?” is an inherently flawed undertaking. Here, they can talk about the runway look for its freshness and excitement, and they can talk about the related accessible look for its consumer-friendly qualities—its “wearability,” so to speak.

"content": "\u003cp>When the movie of the year is about class struggle, what are the most effective ways to communicate a socially conscious message in Hollywood? At this year’s Academy Awards, Natalie Portman showed up in a Dior cape with the names of female directors snubbed by the Academy embroidered in the lining as a “subtle” way of honoring her cause. While she was trying to add to an existing conversation about gender inequality in Hollywood, the statement itself didn’t quite land.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/AmyKinLA/status/1226661824994480131\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Initially lauded as a tasteful nod to all the women whose work was passed over for best picture, the conversation quickly changed once people turned the spotlight on Portman’s own working history in the film industry. Critics were quick to point out that in her own career, Portman has only worked with a handful of female directors. To those commentators, the embroidered gown was an attention-seeking virtue-signal rather than a sign of solidarity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In this vein, actress Rose McGowan called the dress “\u003ca href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/film/2020/feb/12/rose-mcgowan-natalie-portman-oscars-dress-protest-female-directors\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">deeply offensive\u003c/a>.” Portman responded in a statement, saying that her attempts to work with more women throughout her career never came to fruition, which she described as an invisible “ghost history.” McGowan \u003ca href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/film/2020/feb/18/rose-mcgowan-natalie-portman-oscars-dress-protest\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">later apologized\u003c/a> for her initial criticism, saying she “lost sight of the bigger picture.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Buried in the past week-and-a-half of breathless coverage about two disagreeing celebrities is the real story: subtle gestures are no match for unsubtle problems. Best picture winner \u003cem>Parasite\u003c/em>, a thriller that was as politically charged as it was entertaining, proved that audiences and critics alike want to see social issues addressed in pop culture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13875186\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1200px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2020/02/parasite-The-Kim-Family-Woo-sik-Choi-Kang-ho-Song-Hye-jin-Jang-So-dam-Park-in-Parasite_1200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13875186\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/02/parasite-The-Kim-Family-Woo-sik-Choi-Kang-ho-Song-Hye-jin-Jang-So-dam-Park-in-Parasite_1200.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/02/parasite-The-Kim-Family-Woo-sik-Choi-Kang-ho-Song-Hye-jin-Jang-So-dam-Park-in-Parasite_1200-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/02/parasite-The-Kim-Family-Woo-sik-Choi-Kang-ho-Song-Hye-jin-Jang-So-dam-Park-in-Parasite_1200-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/02/parasite-The-Kim-Family-Woo-sik-Choi-Kang-ho-Song-Hye-jin-Jang-So-dam-Park-in-Parasite_1200-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/02/parasite-The-Kim-Family-Woo-sik-Choi-Kang-ho-Song-Hye-jin-Jang-So-dam-Park-in-Parasite_1200-1020x680.jpg 1020w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Kim Family (Woo-sik Choi, Kang-ho Song, Hye-jin Jang, So-dam Park) in a still from ‘Parasite.’ \u003ccite>(Courtesy of NEON CJ Entertainment)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>And yet, how effective are political statements at awards ceremonies themselves?

In part as a way to direct a portion of those vast resources to something other than self-celebration, actors have occasionally used the visibility of the Oscars as a platform to champion personal causes or make political statements, to varying degrees of success. Joaquin Phoenix talked about climate change and veganism in his best actor \u003ca href=\"https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/transcript-joaquin-phoenixs-speech-at-2020-oscars-1278278\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">acceptance speech\u003c/a>; Brad Pitt \u003ca href=\"https://oscar.go.com/news/2020/brad-pitt-is-the-2020-oscar-winner-for-actor-in-a-supporting-role\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">criticized\u003c/a> the Senate Republicans for not letting John Bolton testify.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Politics aren’t only confined to award winners.
