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

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

@DanaThomasParis Sargent is rolling in his grave.

When I interviewed for a major insurance company in the 80s, they made me get a physical exam from their staff nurse. Also for audio/visual marketing.

Now that I officially didn't get the job I can post about how I was recently in the application process for a marketing director role that essentially made me take the SATs.

@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.

Swan Lake’s going to be pretty boring without Odile.

The Kennedy Center named Stephen Nakagawa, a former dancer with the Washington Ballet, as its director of dance programming. He had written a letter to the center’s president in which he complained about “radical leftist ideologies in ballet.” https://t.co/9jE0BMYWN4

@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.

In celebration of WWII VE Day, the New York Historical Museum is displaying one of the most famous American wartime garments—Claire McCardell’s “Pop-over.” The original dress is from my collection and I researched and reconstructed the mitt she’s holding. I’m thrilled!
