Red, White and Who Are You??? || The Commodification of Rebellion and American Patriotism

The Fourth of July. The French Revolution. A $295 mini skirt. And the Selkie Americana collection that broke my brain.

This episode connects three stories about what happens when revolution becomes a vibe, patriotism becomes a purchase, and the most American outfit turns out to be the one nobody told you to wear.
