Summary
For our first Obsessions episode of the year, we're joined by fashion historian extraordinaire Mina Le! Mina creates immersive fashion, costume and film history content and analyses them through the video format. As the girls on twitter say... Mina Le just gets it!
Mina is talking to us about her love of old Hollywood movies. From Casablanca (1942), Bringing Up Baby (1938) and Paddington 2 (you have to listen to find out more about that!), she tells us about how old Hollywood movies have impacted her style and why she loves the silliness of screwball comedies.
Mina was also our February digital cover star for 2022! To read the full profile with her and see the 1930's inspired editorial, click here. <3
