Italian fashion designer Valentino Garavani was born #OnThisDay in 1932. He designed this 1961 haute couture pleated gown, trimmed with ostrich feathers around the hem, that Elizabeth Taylor wore to a party in Rome in honour of Kirk Douglas. Maison Valentino. #FashionHistory

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 🗃️🪡

Thank you! I love art history and fashion history, but I wanted to study them on a deeper societal level. This was really affirmed during my FH 1 course because class and how that played into who wore what was a big part of the lessons. It was a lot deeper than memorizing what was popular and when.

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

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

celebs as guests with the agreement that they wear the designer and act as a brand ambassador for the event. unless the person receives an permanent open invite. Even then donating is highly encouraged. It’s also not a closed event just expensive bc it’s a charity.

a lot of ppl don’t~ they think it’s a party but it’s a charity event bc unlike the met museum the costume institute is funded solely on public donations. And with funding for museums being cut their funding is even more at risk. Also celebs don’t buy their tickets designers buy tickets and invite
