FOCUS St. Louis Presents The Psychology of Fashion: Leadership and Influence

Talked fashion psychology, specifically through the lens of leadership and the new meaning of power dressing. Always enjoy being a moderator. This conversation was especially good thanks to the dynamic perspectives from our panelists Susan Barrett, Cedric Cobb, Washington University’s Dr. Mary Ruppert-Stroescu, and Dwight Carter.

Thank you for organizing FOCUS St. Louis and projects+gallery for hosting this in their space. Appreciate you making this happen Yemi Akande-Bartsch, Ph.D Yolanda Alovor, PhD and team!
