Episode 88: Tina Chow, Our Style Icon

Published: Sept. 8, 2020, 5 a.m.

For Karl Lagerfeld to dub you the inventor of Minimalist Chic, you must be pretty remarkable. And Tina Chow was with her striking Eton haircut and androgynous look. But there was so much more going on behind the coy, ever entertaining hostess façade. This week we look at the life and death of the model, muse and jewelry designer from her early starts in Ohio to striking it big in Japan to turning her husband’s restaurant chain into a resounding global success. We also explore her work as an AIDS activist and her untimely end at the hands of the disease. Also in Style Snacks, Arielle Charnas is in hot water again (insert eyeroll), Cardi B for Balenciaga is on the side of the Louvre, Louis Vuitton uncovers a massive counterfeit ring in China and Netflix sets up exciting releases with Emily in Paris and a multi-year deal with Meghan and Harry.
