Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Are powerful and overworked Washingtonians too busy running the world to worry about fashion? For years, “Beltway style” was considered to be an oxymoron — but some say that’s no longer the case. In the third installment of our series on clothing and culture, we explore the role of personal style in Washington’s social and political power structure.
