In today's episode of Biased, José and Joseph Maglieri unpack the magic, myths, and misconceptions of Fashion Week.
Joseph and I dive deep into Fashion Week and discuss everything from key players to whether it's "worth it" to show and what it actually takes to do so (it's *expensive*). We also talk about regional biases and stereotypes (New York is so commercial! London is the epitome of creativity and subversion, Milan is so luxe! Paris is the only girl that matters, etc.), who actually gets to go to shows, who needs to be there, and how has the p*ndemic changed the way we experience fashion shows and made us more understanding and receptive to alternatives. 
Joseph is a director at the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA). He's been at the CFDA for over six years leading New York Fashion Week planning from the schedule to designer identification as well as working on equity and social impact programs. Before CFDA, Joseph worked at Opening Ceremony in SoHo and began his career in fashion working for UNIQLO helping to manage their +J Jil Sander division for the New York City flagship. He’s an NYU graduate with a background in social science.
