Enjoying the Making Historical Dress Network's Workshop today, which started off with a really interesting and thought-provoking keynote by Hilary Davidson. Looking forward to Panel One (and very happy to be able to participate as it is in hybrid mode.)

Coming off our summer hiatus, FSW talks to Kate Strasdin about #dresshistory, the value of #storytelling, and how #luxury brands are preserving the artisanal nature of #fashion.

Very excited about this one as Kate is an absolutely lovely person and one of my favourite people to follow on social media with her unique take on dress history.

Based on years of research, fashion historian Kendra van Cleave's new book "Dressing à la Turque: Ottoman Influence on French Fashion, 1670–1800" will be published next month! Having attended Kendra's lectures on this topic and chatting with her about it briefly when I met her in person last year, I can't wait to get my hands on a copy.

I visited the #VADTartan exhibition at the V&A Dundee a few days ago and was very impressed with the broad range of objects displayed as well as by the diverse stories and viewpoints expressed through the interpretative materials. Here is a small selection of garments that caught my eye.

This exhibition runs through Sunday, 14 January 2024.
