Jordan Roth and Jeremy O. Harris on the Politics of Self-Expression

HARRIS: You started in a place of being alienated from wanting to be the Jordan we see now.

ROTH: Correct, because of this erroneous belief that vanity, frivolity, and silliness are antithetical to scholarship and business. “Real things that real people do.”

HARRIS: [Laughs] Exactly.

ROTH: The process is not to say, “I can be both,” it’s to reject that there is a dichotomy here. Dressing with intention, rigor, joy, and scale is thinking, creating, and managing intention with rigor, joy and scale.
