For #Balmain's birthday, we're having a #frockingfabulous theme week! I think this early 1950's number will look very different indeed on a human...

I hate when people try diminish my impact to “rhinestoning tights” as if I haven’t trained a team of highly skilled artisans and kept them employed since 2012. I teach courses that empower people to craft and my products are an industry staple. Try again buddy, I ain’t the one.
I’m still in the introduction of this book and I’m already seeing fabric names I’ve never seen before in my life like alacha, cherryderry, and dunjar. It makes me think about how material literacy has become so degraded, people don’t even know what silk is anymore.
We've moved away from clothes and underpinnings creating the silhouette and expect our bodies to do it so when an outfit doesn't work, we blame our shape and not the garment. I reject that! If it doesn't look how you imagined, pick a different piece or alter it to make it so!
Please stop. I don’t want an AI summary of my Google search. I don’t want an AI summary of the text message from my friend at work. I don’t want an AI summary of the email I’m about to read. Please just stop.
Was looking at an 18th century linen shirt this morning, and I love this contrast between the superfine original stitching and the less fine repair work from later (zoom in). There are lots of interesting patches on this garment, including one where the penis would be.
Any folk who have followed me here for a while may recall that I am not a fan of the HOT weather. Much as I may love a stylish option for a heatwave in theory (I give you #1930s beach pajamas as an excellent example here) in practice I think I am probably 98% viking @madparisfr
New on my Patreon: the corset I created to mark my divorce. A piece of healing and celebration. Explore the design in detail, the techniques and materials used to create it, and see how it was captured at my recent Persephone photoshoot.

“Trade Dress” is when the visual look and feel of a product or it’s packaging that identifies it’s source to consumer. Patrick Ta capitalized on a trend that was popularized by Painted By Esther. It’s so weird to see all the gas lighting + justification for how shady he’s moving.
