What is digital fashion and why pay attention to it? Philosopher Michael R. Spicher shares how his ongoing research on digital fashion shows that we are “aesthetic beings.” He also discusses the relationship between beauty and politics.

In this clip from the Beauty at Work podcast, host Brandon Vaidyanathan speaks with Michael about his new co-edited academic book on digital fashion. They explore the origins of digital garments, the impact of virtual try-ons on sustainability, and the deep human drive for aesthetic expression. Michael explains how digital fashion opens up new possibilities for self-expression, challenges traditional fashion norms, and intersects with issues of equity, decoloniality, and even Supreme Court rulings.
