Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
The French aren’t just the inventors of fine champagne and high fashion. They also created our cravings for celebrity hairstylists and home decorators — more than three hundred years ago. Join Kojo for a look at France’s lasting impact on the high-class lifestyle.
Guests
- Joan DeJean Trustee Professor of French, University of Pennsylvania; and author of "The Essence of Style: How the French Invented High Fashion, Fine Food, Chic Cafes, Style, Sophistication, and Glamour (Free Press)
