Sharing a new series from one of our favorite podcasts: IMO with Michelle Obama and Craig Robinson. On IMO’s special series The Look, Michelle Obama opens up for the first time about her journey and legacy as a fashion icon– in and beyond the White House. Through a series of candid, intimate conversations with her longtime beauty collaborators, fashion insiders, and legendary women–including Jane Fonda, Nina Garcia, Bethann Hardison, Elaine Welteroth, Jenna Lyons, among others–she reveals how she and her team leveraged the scrutiny of her public image to boldly celebrate self-expression, inclusion, and cultural impact. A companion to her book, The Look celebrates an extraordinary legacy of authenticity and representation that continues to permeate culture, politics, and fashion today. In this episode, a table of legends talks about aging. Actress and activist Jane Fonda, former model and activist Bethann Hardison, and designer and businesswoman Jenna Lyons join Michelle to discuss what it means to age: to not just physically evolve, but also to come closer to our own purpose with age. Plus, they share some surprising advice about love.You can hear The Look series inside the IMO feed at https://lnk.to/imomichellecraigBBSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
