A History of The Red Carpet: Part One

In the latest episode of "The Fashion Daddies" podcast, Nick and David delve into the history of the Red Carpet! Even though it is only December 2025, the 2026 Awards Season is officially underway. The Fashion Daddies felt this would be the perfect time to discuss the evolution of the Red Carpet, in terms of Hollywood, Awards Shows, Celebrities, Fashion, and, ultimately, the "Business Marriage" of Fashion and Hollywood. In Part One, Nick and David provide listeners and viewers with a fascinating history of the earliest mentions of a "red carpet", from the Greek play Agamemnon to the floor covering we know of today, used to celebrate awards shows and premiere events. They cover the evolution of Red Carpet Dressing, from 1950s Hollywood Costume Designers, to actors buying their own dresses, the Excess of the 80s, Joan Rivers, and the rise of Giorgio Armani.
