Summary

[You’re listening to a preview of this month’s Product Recall, available exclusively on our Patreon. To hear the full episode, join us at patreon.com/forever35.]


Doree walks Kate through the world of Contempo Casuals where looking like yourself is looking your best! She explains how the store became pop culture shorthand, its ’70s commercials’ second-wave feminism vibe, and the brand’s short-lived recent renaissance as a nostalgic T-shirt company.
