After the second round of the French elections, Professor Cone will discuss briefly the final results, comparing them to the elections in the United States, and discussing the general electoral shift to the right. The main focus of this seminar, however, will be the fashion industry, and the role fashion plays in our daily lives. After showing a scene or two from “Merci Patron”, Professor Cone will speak briefly about the fashion conglomerate LVMH, her own love/hate relationship with fashion in general, and the fashion industry in particular, before turning the discussion over to participants.

Discussion led by Annabelle Cone, French and Italian

7:00-8:30 pm, House Center A
