It's scary to have an innocent client that's been in jail for two years,\" said Curtis Briggs, lead attorney for Harris.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I'm relieved, but my thoughts are with the families right now.

On the one hand, San Francisco really was a dress-up town.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“San Francisco was actually a city that kind of prided itself on its elegance,” Leventon said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People wore gloves and hats to run errands, and there were catwalk shows in San Francisco’s Union Square.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Leventon said San Francisco was home to some highly sought-after fashion labels.

His clothes were streamlined, youthful and accessible to a wide range of consumers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The free-wheeling styles of designers like Gernreich went hand in hand with other global California exports, like Beat, Black Panther and hippie culture, and Hollywood surf movies. All of this stuff fed a movement in the media and advertising that projected a sense of the Golden State as a place of permissiveness, comfort and ease.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The idea of California as a place where you could get back to nature,” Leventon said. “Nobody’s dressing up and going to the office. You’re putting on your bathing suit and maybe a pair of shorts and a tank top on top of that, and going out to the pool.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That idea persists today. You can see a version of it in the yoga pants that many people wear about town. And of course, there’s the jeans, T-shirts, hoodies and sneakers popular with those working in the tech and entertainment industries — two stereotypical looks associated with The Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So it’s not surprising that quite a few major leisure fashion brands beyond Levi’s have their roots here. \u003ca href=\"http://gap.com\">The Gap\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://www.esprit.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Esprit\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://oldnavy.gap.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Old Navy\u003c/a>, (which is owned by Gap), not to mention newer ones like \u003ca href=\"https://www.everlane.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Everlane\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://www.allbirds.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Allbirds\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://rothys.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rothy’s,\u003c/a> are based in the Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All of these brands, especially the ones that have been around for a while, have fed into the idea of the Bay Area as being a home for casual style.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Our Diverse Fashion Sense\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>When it comes down to it, you really can’t put Bay Area style in a box.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think there’s a lot of diversity here if you open your eyes instead of your mouth,” said Tony Bravo, the San Francisco Chronicle’s fashion reporter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He recently took to the streets of downtown San Francisco with KQED to scope out what locals and tourists were wearing.

On the one hand, San Francisco really was a dress-up town.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“San Francisco was actually a city that kind of prided itself on its elegance,” Leventon said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People wore gloves and hats to run errands, and there were catwalk shows in San Francisco’s Union Square.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Leventon said San Francisco was home to some highly sought-after fashion labels. Like \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lilli_Ann\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lilli Ann\u003c/a>, founded in the city in the 1930s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The company made beautifully tailored suits, cocktail dresses, evening dresses,” Leventon said. “They made the kind of elegant wear that well-to-do, well-dressed San Franciscans would wear.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even working-class San Franciscans who didn’t have lots of spare cash to throw around on fancy duds dressed up in a bid to project a sense of propriety and economic self-improvement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Union Square, SF Fashion Show (ca.1950s)\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/KuubsgP3eTE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen>\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then there is the other side of San Francisco’s nascent clothing industry — the side focused on making hardy workwear for people like miners and railroad engineers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That side centered around \u003ca href=\"https://www.levi.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Levi’s\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Levi’s is very important and certainly one thing that San Francisco has contributed to the general move to casualness, not only here but everywhere,” Leventon said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Founded in San Francisco in 1853, Levi’s gradually became hugely influential after inventing the first denim jeans in the 1870s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Levi’s was a game changer, especially starting in the 1930s, when the company began marketing its jeans not just as workwear, but also as leisurewear.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Teenagers became a target market after World War II, and Hollywood helped spread the word.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Two movies helped popularize jeans,” Leventon said. “‘Rebel Without a Cause’ and ‘The Wild One.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In these movies, James Dean and Marlon Brando \u003cem>smoldered\u003c/em> in denim. Everyone wanted the look.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California also became home to some talented architects and designers who had fled Nazi Europe, like Rudi Gernreich, who emigrated from Austria in 1938.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11763835\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 220px\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11763835\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/Rudi_Gernreich.jpg\" alt=\"Rudi Gernreich\" width=\"220\" height=\"318\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/Rudi_Gernreich.jpg 220w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/Rudi_Gernreich-160x231.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 220px) 100vw, 220px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Rudi Gernreich \u003ccite>(Philadelphia City Paper)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“He did some really groundbreaking designs in the 1950s,” Leventon said. “He was a pioneer of unisex fashions. His clothes were streamlined, youthful and accessible to a wide range of consumers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The free-wheeling styles of designers like Gernreich went hand in hand with other global California exports, like Beat, Black Panther and hippie culture, and Hollywood surf movies. All of this stuff fed a movement in the media and advertising that projected a sense of the Golden State as a place of permissiveness, comfort and ease.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The idea of California as a place where you could get back to nature,” Leventon said. “Nobody’s dressing up and going to the office. You’re putting on your bathing suit and maybe a pair of shorts and a tank top on top of that, and going out to the pool.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That idea persists today. You can see a version of it in the yoga pants that many people wear about town. And of course, there’s the jeans, T-shirts, hoodies and sneakers popular with those working in the tech and entertainment industries — two stereotypical looks associated with The Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So it’s not surprising that quite a few major leisure fashion brands beyond Levi’s have their roots here. \u003ca href=\"http://gap.com\">The Gap\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://www.esprit.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Esprit\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://oldnavy.gap.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Old Navy\u003c/a>, (which is owned by Gap), not to mention newer ones like \u003ca href=\"https://www.everlane.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Everlane\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://www.allbirds.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Allbirds\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://rothys.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rothy’s,\u003c/a> are based in the Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All of these brands, especially the ones that have been around for a while, have fed into the idea of the Bay Area as being a home for casual style.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Our Diverse Fashion Sense\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>When it comes down to it, you really can’t put Bay Area style in a box.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think there’s a lot of diversity here if you open your eyes instead of your mouth,” said Tony Bravo, the San Francisco Chronicle’s fashion reporter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He recently took to the streets of downtown San Francisco with KQED to scope out what locals and tourists were wearing.

But people clearly expressed themselves with their clothes, whether dressed casually or formally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re a great, progressive, sometimes libertine city, and I think that’s reflected in what we wear,” Bravo said. “It’s high, it’s low, it’s simple, it’s extravagant.

A lot of kids enroll in the [mariachi] studio because their grandparents or their parents want them to play that music, or their grandparents and parents were mariachis, so it has a familial vibe to it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Growing up in such a musical family helped shape my worldview and every aspect of my personality. I’m very grateful that it kept me close to my culture, especially being so far from home now.

You long for Santa Ana winds and sunflowers, tumbleweeds and the laughter of people eating at long unfolded tables in a driveway. We bury descendants of the women, and we serve funeral repasts in church halls built by some of California’s black pioneers.

Sometimes I run into women who are indigenous; they have a pocket knife and a Tupperware and their grandsons are cutting a specific sage and a specific buckwheat that their great-grandmothers told them help fight diabetes. I can’t think of anywhere I'd rather be than where people have been harvesting the same plants for 20 generations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"mceTemp\">\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On California:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fascinating thing about Southern California is how many different cities, towns, villages, and communities we have. People think of it as a monolithic place, but if you grow up in El Monte, Ontario, Chino, Riverside, Pico-Union, and Westlake Village, all of it is different.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is my tenth book, and I have driven to almost every county in California over the last 30 years talking to women, children, people who were homeless, migrant workers in Greenfield working the lettuce fields. All over my state, I find people who are fiercely protective and loyal to the place they’re from, whether it’s Salinas, Buttonwillow, Riverside, Ontario, Pomona, or Chino. I find that no one really understands just how loyal Californians are to their state, but also to their actual homelands inside this large state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

If approved, the rule would eliminate a key part of a court settlement from 1997 that limits the detention of unaccompanied minors to 20 days in federal custody. Administration officials argue the new rule is necessary to deter mass migration at the border. But it’s likely to face legal challenges from immigration advocates such as the ACLU, which denounced the move as “another attack on children.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Guests:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tyche Hendricks, KQED immigration editor\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Professor Bill Ong Hing, University of San Francisco School of Law\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Helping Students With Anxiety\u003cbr>\n\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Throughout the Bay Area, classrooms are buzzing with activity and lesson plans as students return from their summer break to start a new school year. But these days, a lot of students are struggling with anxiety on top of their academics. Whether it’s the pressure to perform academically, online bullying or mass shootings on campus and public spaces, triggers for feeling overwhelmed or anxious abound. Parents and teachers can also miss warning signs and wrestle with when and how to intervene.

If approved, the rule would eliminate a key part of a court settlement from 1997 that limits the detention of unaccompanied minors to 20 days in federal custody. Administration officials argue the new rule is necessary to deter mass migration at the border. But it’s likely to face legal challenges from immigration advocates such as the ACLU, which denounced the move as “another attack on children.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Guests:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tyche Hendricks, KQED immigration editor\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Professor Bill Ong Hing, University of San Francisco School of Law\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Helping Students With Anxiety\u003cbr>\n\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Throughout the Bay Area, classrooms are buzzing with activity and lesson plans as students return from their summer break to start a new school year. But these days, a lot of students are struggling with anxiety on top of their academics. Whether it’s the pressure to perform academically, online bullying or mass shootings on campus and public spaces, triggers for feeling overwhelmed or anxious abound. Parents and teachers can also miss warning signs and wrestle with when and how to intervene. Fortunately, at one East Bay high school, students are learning coping strategies and getting support from social workers to feel less stressed and overwhelmed. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Guests:\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Katrina Schwartz, co-host, KQED’s MindShift podcast\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Professor Janelle Scott, Graduate School of Education, UC Berkeley \u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u003c/span>\u003cb>“The North Pole”\u003cbr>\n\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Benny Ramirez and his three friends face challenges and forge creative solutions as they navigate life in North Oakland on “The North Pole,” a web series streaming on YouTube.
