Dress the history of fashion is a production of iHeartRadio.

Over 7 billion people in the world, we all have one thing in common.

Every day, we all get dressed.

Welcome to Dress the history of fashion, a podcast where we explore the who-what-when of why we wear.

We are fashion historians and your host, April Callahan, and Cassidy Zachary.

The 1970s, a period seemingly unrivaled in its pursuit of excess, revelry, and oat glam fashion

that clung to the wearer's body as it swayed to the sound of disco music at the famed studio 54.

Open for just 33 months, the nightclub is nevertheless synonymous with the era,

one reigned over by a legion of fashion designers such as Halston, Terry Mughler,

Eves Saint Laurent, Karl Lagerfeld, and Kinzo.

And what do all of these designers have in common, you may ask?

Or perhaps the question is rather who, and the answer is today's guest, the inevitable Pat Cleveland.

April, what better way to start season 5 of Dress than with one of our all-time favorite dress guests?

Yes, exactly, because last time Pat was on the show, we learned all about her early life and her career as a model in fashion,

including her work as a teenager, actually, for the Ebony Fashion Fair during the 1960s.

I mean, she was dating Muhammad Ali at that point.

Yes, mind-blowing.

But we learned less about the era when she actually skyrocketed to international model stardom in the 1970s.

And honestly, this is an era that we haven't touched so much on the show on,

and really we're our first interview with Pat left off.

So if you haven't listened to Pat's first episode with us, you want a fuller story of her incredible career,

you can tune back into that.
