Fashion historian reconstructing designer looks from the 30s through 70s. Up to my elbows in a project about legendary midcentury designer Claire McCardell.

@katieculture Don’t try to leave the Cape once you’re on it due to traffic. Taking the ferry to the islands of Martha’s Vineyard or Nantucket can be a fun day trip.

@knopps That’s sad news. He was involved in the founding of the Rhythm and Blues Foundation with my husband Howell Begle.

@ArielDumas I hope your show is having one hell of a party tonight.

@DanaThomasParis Sargent is rolling in his grave.

[Julie Eilber @JetSetSewing]

@farhip @nminow Not to mention that the experienced producers walked out. My late husband used to work on the show, and it’s a very expensive and difficult production, particularly if they don’t have ongoing relationships with the unions and talent.

T minus 5 days until I cue up “Desk Set.”

Your eyes are not deceiving you. These are, in fact, masked ICE agents dragging a legal U.S. resident out of her car while she waits in a pickup line outside an elementary school.

@RezekJoe Tenth grade mean girl.

I look forward to joining my fellow Cristobal Balenciaga scholars in beautiful Getaria, Spain.

Some reflections take years.
Others begin with a decision.

Registration for the II International Cristóbal Balenciaga Conference closes 15 September.

[Julie Eilber @JetSetSewing]

@radiotopia @trufelman @amazonmusic Fancy and fabulous, Avery!

[Cristóbal Balenciaga Museoa @museobalenciaga]

Cristóbal Balenciaga didn’t just design — he also cut, assembled, and sewed with his own hands.

[Cristóbal Balenciaga Museoa @museobalenciaga]

What will we reflect on? The II International Cristóbal Balenciaga Conference unfolds through four major themes, each opening a space for reflection on the figure and legacy of Cristóbal Balenciaga.

Heritage brands are distinct in that they are about both history and history in the making

@VVFriedman Project Runway finale?

[Rep. Don Beyer @RepDonBeyer]

Once again we are here in the dead of night, to debate and vote on Republicans’ bill that takes food and health care from those who need them to shower tax cuts on billionaires.

I cast that moral choice in terms my Republican colleagues would understand.

[Cristóbal Balenciaga Museoa @museobalenciaga]

Reflection doesn’t follow deadlines.
It unfolds at its own pace.

We’ve extended the Early Bird registration until 16 July — to give thought a little more room.

Join a global conversation on fashion, silence, authorship, memory, and legacy.

[Julie Eilber @JetSetSewing]

@CarmencitaB It’s horrifying!

[Julie Eilber @JetSetSewing]

@TheBonnieRaitt So nice to see Carla Thomas is still with us.
