About this episode
Ivy Wolk discusses her fashion influences, the state of Theatre, and the impact of cultural curiosity.
In this week’s episode, we’re joined by actress and generational internet phenomenon Ivy Wolk ( Anora , The English Teacher ) to discuss her sartorial origins from roller derby to riot grrl to rockabilly, the sorry state of the Theatre, the evolving identity of the character actor, the cult mystique of a volatile decade-long online presence, and why cultural curiosity may be the closest thing we have to world peace. Ivy also weighs in on the uncanny e-girl invasion of the latest Guess campaign and reflects on the spirit of authentic Angeleno style.
