Analyzing Robin Givhan

In the new March issue of Washingtonian, Harry Jaffe profiles everyone’s favorite fashion writer: Robin Givhan. You might remember her from Cheney’s parka, Condi’s boots, Alito’s wife, or just last week, Cheney’s pink tie.

“Givhan has carved her niche as a journalist who turns the attire of the powerful into social, political, and cultural commentary. She thinks Cheney’s parka and Condi Rice’s boots reveal more about them than just their sense of style. ‘There’s this ridiculous taboo about talking about people’s clothing,’ she says. ‘Most of the time I am just acknowledging the obvious. People say it’s so shallow that it doesn’t matter. It does,’” he reports.

It’s as sure a must-read as Givhan’s own writing.
