His grandmother taught him to sew at age 9, and he first worked in a Dallas Polo/ Ralph Lauren boutique’s alterations department. He sold a small collection of his own designs to retailer Neiman Marcus in 1980, later partnering with company buyer Tony Longoria. The couple moved to New York in 1988 to establish their business and life together. In 1989, Oldham presented the first season of what would be 10 years of women’s ready- to-wear in a style characterized each year by a kitschy, colorful, fun, glamourous, do- it-yourself sensibility. His work was well-received in the press and recognized by the fashion industry: in 1991, he earned the Council of Fashion Designers’ Perry Ellis Award for New Fashion Talent. In 1992, the New York Times heralded Oldham as fashion’s new “It guy”. By the mid-1990s, Oldham had opened a boutique in New York’s SoHo neighborhood, licensed an eponymous perfume, and appeared regularly on MTV’s hit show House of Style, for which he hosted his own popular segment called Todd Time. He also appeared on MTV’s Crib Crashers: Celebrity Edition with guests like Mariah Carey and Outkast. From 1990 to 1998 he directed music videos for Us3 and Maxi Priest, collaborated with the B-52's and Deee-Lite, and designed clothing for performers including Queen Latifah and The Dixie Chicks. By 1999 Oldham had discontinued his seasonal collections and branched out into other design areas, including designs for the interior remodeling of Miami’s The Tiffany into The Hotel of South Beach, and collaborations with brands Target and La-Z-Boy to create furniture and homewares. In 2007 he joined the cast of the Bravo network’s reality competition show Top Design as a host and later mentor for contestants. Oldham has also published a series of design, photograph, art monographs, and children’s books: his Hand Made Modern series provides creative and affordable craft tutorials for do-it- yourself home design projects. Todd Oldham Studio has also created a line of art supplies and project kits for children called Kids Made Modern. In 2016 the Rhode Island School of Design presented a retrospective exhibition of Oldham’s work, All of Everything. Oldham is also active in philanthropy and social advocacy. He pledged not to use fur or animal products in his designs and has worked with People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) to raise awareness for their anti-fur campaigns. He has also been involved with AIDS advocacy groups including AIDS Project Los Angeles and Bailey House. - Page 4 - Todd Oldham records Scope and Contents note The collection consists of photographic prints and slides, Polaroid images, line lists, sketches, samples, correspondence and worknotes, and videos documenting Oldham's designs for clothing, accessories, fabric, furniture and household items, and music videos from 1982 to 2004; promotional material for Oldham’s design work such as videos of award shows and television interviews, loose clippings, brochures, and other ephemera; videotapes documenting Oldham’s work on programming for the MTV network, such as House of Style and Crib Crashers: Celebrity Edition, and other networks; and videotapes that were sent to and collected by Oldham.

  • February 26, 2021 Amazon Warehouse Workers In
    February 26, 2021 Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer, Alabama are voting to form a union with the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union (RWDSU). We are the writers of feature films and television series. All of our work is done under union contracts whether it appears on Amazon Prime, a different streaming service, or a television network. Unions protect workers with essential rights and benefits. Most importantly, a union gives employees a seat at the table to negotiate fair pay, scheduling and more workplace policies. Deadline Amazon accepts unions for entertainment workers, and we believe warehouse workers deserve the same respect in the workplace. We strongly urge all Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer to VOTE UNION YES. In solidarity and support, Megan Abbott (DARE ME) Chris Abbott (LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE; CAGNEY AND LACEY; MAGNUM, PI; HIGH SIERRA SEARCH AND RESCUE; DR.

  • 1 Introduction to 'Ideology' 2 Ideology and the Paradox of Subjectivity 3
    Notes 1 Introduction to ‘Ideology’ 1. Bell, unlike Francis Fukuyama, carefully avoids equating the end of ideology with utopia or near-utopia. 2 Ideology and the Paradox of Subjectivity 1. In his ‘De la Métaphysique de Kant,’ de Tracy explicitly excoriates Kant for his lack of scientific method and chides him for developing ‘the inverse of reasoning’ in the Critique of Pure Reason (cited in Kennedy 1978, 118–19). 2. In ‘The Poet,’ Emerson calls for a radical poetic aesthetic that would eschew the artificial constraints of meter and adopt an ‘organic form.’ Interestingly, Emerson also developed the concept of the ‘oversoul,’ which owes much to Hegel’s Geist. 3. In his Introductory Lectures on Psycho-Analysis (1915–17), Freud dissects the subject into three parts: super-ego, ego, and id. These correspond roughly to conscience, consciousness, and desire. The ego attempts to regulate between the super-ego and the id. 4. Freud fails to suggest, however, that religion fulfills its ostensible moral purpose: ‘in every age immorality has found no less support in religion than morality has’ (1964, 68). 5. Zizek distinguishes between cynicism – the classic ideological response to social reality – and ‘kynicism,’ the ‘popular, plebian rejec- tion of the official culture by means of irony and sarcasm’ (1989, 29). In the latter instance, subjects appeal not to reason, but to parody. The subject mocks the gravity of official doctrine by exposing the self-interest of the principals. Saturday Night Live and Mad TV, for example, lampoon the ultra-earnestness of political candidates through caricature. In one such skit, Bill Clinton’s famous empathy (‘I feel your pain’) is undercut by a portrait in which he cannot restrain his sexual impulses for even a moment.

Style and S(t)imulation: Popular Magazines, or the Aestheticization of Postsoviet Russia Abstract The new Postsoviet genre of the glossy magazine that inundated bookstalls and kiosks in Russia's urban centers served as both an advertisement for a life of luxury and an advice column on chic style. Conventionalized signs of affluence, models of beauty, "educational" articles on topics ranging from the history and significance of ties ot correct behavior at a first-class estaurr ant filled the pages of magazines intended to provide an accelerated course in etiquette, appearance, and appurtenances for Russia's newly wealthy. The lessons in spending, demeanor, and taste emphasized moneyed visibility.
