About the Show

Over 11 years and 570 episodes, John Rabe and Team Off-Ramp scoured SoCal for the people, places, and ideas whose stories needed to be told, and the show became a love-letter to Los Angeles. Now, John is sharing selections from the Off-Ramp vault to help you explore this imperfect paradise.

FIDM's "Fabulous" shows best of fashion museum
Aspiring painters go to the Louvre, student architects go to the Ennis House, and young fashion designers can go to the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising's museum, home to thousands of pieces of clothing, from centuries ago to today. FIDM curator Kevin Jones showed Off-Ramp's John Rabe the museum's newest exhibit, a ten-year retrospective from the collection.

Aspiring painters go to the Louvre, student architects go to the Ennis House, and young fashion designers can go to the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising's museum in downtown Los Angeles, home to thousands of pieces of clothing, dating back centuries. FIDM curator Kevin Jones showed Off-Ramp's John Rabe the museum's newest exhibit, a ten-year retrospective. (Listen for the fashion fetish that became a collector's dream.)
