It isn’t quite summer and evenings are chill. My advice when sporting a mid #1930s #Lanvin purple satin evening dress is to make sure you have a matching ruched velvet cape to snuggle around the shoulders, V&A #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

Pintuck perfection and blurry florals fashion a foamy tea gown made for trailing wistfully around the house, sinking gracefully onto a cushioned chaise longue and sipping tea from bone china. C1900 @chicagomuseum.bsky.social #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

#Balenciaga brought all of the mini skirt minimalism to a maximalised evening dress here, some mid #1960s broderie anglaise in two tones, bisected with a candy pink belt. I like its apparent simplicity….. #museobalenciaga #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

One of my favorite things about FIT is how you can just open a random box in the lab and there’s an 18th century robe a la francaise chilling for research and practice purposes
Photo of a silk robe a la francaise. Dress is flat, but not fully extended. Features spangled embroidery and floral embroidery throughout and ruffled, elbows length sleeves

Simone Micheline Bodin, better known as Bettina or Bettina Graziani, #BOTD 1925, setting up for a fashion photoshoot. In both photos, she wears long gloves, a highly popular women's fashion accessory throughout the New Look period & after. #fashionhistory #supermodel #1950sfashion #bettinagraziani
1950's supermodel Bettina (born Simone Micheline Bodin) getting ready for an outdoors photoshoot. A male photographer to her left, leaning over a tripod-mounted camera, is giving her directions. Bettina wears a floral-patterned, calf-length white dress with a low V cut between her breasts and shoulder straps, with a close-fitting white hat over her dark hair, several strands of pearls, dark open-toed shoes and elbow-length white kid gloves.

It is always a joy to bring different cultural textiles into the curriculum and this year I talked with students about, amongst other things, Ghanaian kente cloth. Lovely to come across this tribute to kente in Patrick Kelly’s 1988 printed trousers #museumatfit #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

I'm not on here as often as I should be because I'm getting my degree in Art History focusing on class expression and garment history. But this semester is wrapping up quickly and so hopefully I'm able to post more

okay, i'm not gonna do a whole long thread, but. henry golding showed UP.
A mixed-race Malaysian man wearing the hell out of a fantastic, gold, three-piece suit. Broad-shouldered, wide-legged, and with a cross-hatched pattern that's more complex the closer you look at it. His collar is open to the second button, showing off a bit of gold chain around his neck, and only the barest bit of a black silk shirt is visible at the collar and wrists. His hair is slicked back, with one Clark Kent curl on his forehead. Black shoes, shined within an inch of their life. Detail at his hands and hips level, so that you can see how incredible the pattern on this suit is. It looks a bit like the indigenous weaving you might find in parts of Southeast Asia, geometric and warm. A gold ring on one finger, circle with a bar. The hint of a gold watch.
