I do a lot of quick drawings when I am studying a costume. They help me make sense of the construction and also remember details later. #phdlife #lesballets1933 #travellinghistorian #sketching #costumemounting #costumehistory #balletcostume #ballethistory
From 1933 to 1833 - researching Marie Taglioni for an upcoming paper. #britishlibrary #marietaglioni #travellinghistorian #ballethistory #lesballets1933 #phdlife #taglioni
I love this Lagerfeld for Chanel (1987-88) piece on display at the Paris: Capital of Fashion exhibition at FIT. It reminds me of a theatre curtain. All the draping is embroidered - so clever! #travellinghistorian #fitmuseum #costumemounting #costumehistory #dresshistory
Two of my favourite costumes from Pulcinella Variations now in the Design in Motion: A New York City Ballet Fashion Gala Retrospective exhibition. #nycb #travellinghistorian #costumehistory #dancehistory #costumemounting
So I knew my grandmother made costumes but I never realised she had her own business! I guess this is where I get it from. #inthefamily #travellinghistorian #costumehistory #ontheroadagain #costume
