They also invite their comedian friends and fashion experts to discuss everyday lewks, seasonal trends, award show styles and more, viewed very very far away from the red carpet (in the best basement in all of Brooklyn!) It's the only show that has standup comedy woven through fashionable catwalks, and a panel of opinionated critics ready to roast looks.

It's time to take off the sweatpants and put on your favorite outfit for the hottest post-pandemic fashion comedy show of the season!
