Did you know the clothes you're wearing right now could have gotten you arrested 100 years ago? ...We looked into it.

Welcome to Valid Source? — The podcast where we investigate the internet myths, viral claims, and trending gossip you've been thinking about but haven't had time to research. We're not experts. We're just two friends willing to do the extra digging.

This episode: Harley hits us with a time-travel thought experiment before we even say hello, Ashley's grandma has strong opinions about lipstick, we break down how fashion trends actually trickle down from runway to clearance rack (the Devil Wears Prada speech was RIGHT), we get into the Kardashian beauty evolution, and then Ashley learns about the CROWN Act live on air. Because of course she does.

Valid Source? verdict on fashion: deeply personal, heavily influenced, and apparently never just your choice.

⚠️ Content Warning: This episode briefly discusses eating disorders and body image standards in the context of '90s fashion and the modeling industry.
