Your Seams Are Showing: Loving Our Neighbors through Fashion | Rev. Dr. Robert Covolo
A wise man once said, “Clothes are never just clothes; they are arguments stitched in fabric, parables worn in public, small acts of cultural exegesis.” That wise man is Rev. Dr. Robert Covolo—Executive Director of Faith and Work, Los Angeles and adjunct professor at APU Honors College. Robert is a cultural theologian and author of Fashion Theology (Baylor University Press, 2020).
In this episode of season four, Chris and Kyle travel to Grand Rapids, Michigan, and sit down with Covolo to discuss all things fashion. What hath Paris to do with Jerusalem and suits to do with secularization? How does fashion as an industry relate to loving our neighbor? What would it look like to discern the Spirit when it comes to our seams—for the sake of society?
