Welcome to Assembly Required with Stacey Abrams from Crooked Media.

I'm your host, Stacey Abrams.

Growing up in southern Mississippi, I didn't really pay too much attention to fashion.

We shared basically the only mall with the city next door, and the big chains hadn't quite discovered the Gulfport-Biloxi corridor.

But my older sister was an aficionado of the magazines and the looks they covered from New York, London, Milan, Paris.

So I learned a bit by osmosis.

My tutelage was accelerated when I went to Spelman College, started watching Project Runway, and then when I ran for public office.

What I wore became as much a topic of conversation sometimes as the legislation I voted on.
