  • Great Insights but

    The host is extremely pompous and narrow minded. The kind of person that makes me haaaaate having stepped foot in this industry. So much so that I have to listen maybe 15 minutes at a time. That being said there are drip drops of knowledgeable nuggets to be found.

  • No small feat

    Like the best of any art form—including fashion—StyleZeitgeist routinely transcends its purported topic thanks to Eugene’s depth of knowledge and ability to provide meaningful insights. It’s rare today to find criticism that is as unflinching as it is enjoyable. Even if you don’t care about fashion per se, Eugene reminds us how it reflects our culture back to us, and so, actually does matter. No small feat!
