One thing about Kerry Taylor, she’s going to set a record. This French embroidered linen 'Merveilleuse' gown c. 1796-1800 just sold for £297,600. #fashionhistory www.kerrytaylorauctions.com/auction/lot/...

Quick reminder that clothes will be affected by these tariffs too. America does not produce anything related to the garment industry at a scale sufficient to clothe all Americans. That will not change because it’s easier to raise prices than resurrect an entire industry.

This. Is. Amazing. Finally, an ebook alternative for Amazon, but for independent bookstores. This is amazing for readers who want to be more intentional about where you're spending your money. 📖 #BookSky

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

Shared what I thought was a funny story from school and people started taking it VERY SERIOUSLY, so had to delete that. The vibes were getting a little too close to Twitter, and I refuse to bring the spirit of overexplaining over here.

Really exciting semester ahead for my last term of full time coursework. Taking classes on contemporary fashion (basically fashion journalism), costume in fantasy & sci-fi, independent study (topic is secret for now), and also working on the MFIT exhibition “All That Glitters,” debuting in February!
