10% of Canadians say I send too many emails. Formerly talked about clothing & hockey. Textile & book obsessed. Jays fan. Always hungry.

It's 2011. You're at the Eaton's Centre. You just met Jay Manuel at the launch of his clothing line "Attitude" (exclusive to Sears Canada). Immediately after you go to Indigo to purchase Modelland. You finish the book in two days and it's one of the worst books you've ever read.

when i accidentally close my 45 tabs it's like the burning of the library of alexandria, but worse and much more dire

Well now. Isn’t this interesting. So much for the patriarchy.

Turns out that voracious reader as a child, the one who was reading for hours at a time, was actually undiagnosed ADHD girlie in hyperfocus.

Fashion history and conservation were my favorite classes. There is such a large amount of knowledge and skill that goes into preservation and they deserve every dollar to help their incredible work continue.

[Cora Harrington @CoraCHarrington]

I had to take fashion conservation classes as part of my master’s degree and now I’m completely conservation-pilled. Pay those people.

[stephanie @stephborin]

@JustCall_MeJo @CoraCHarrington One of the most exciting parts is interpreting the garments. What was the inspiration? What were the designers trying to convey? What history and meaning are being incorporated or displayed through the fabric choices, notions, construction or styling? Literally just art analysis!

really glad to hear andrew bolton openly acknowledge the polished steel face mannequins for the new met exhibit as a direct reference to palestinian artist samar hejazi’s work

Scoop! The Costume Institute has been quietly saving its money from the Met Gala, and soon it will have enough to be self-supporting. Which means.... https://t.co/arx3tafpd0

@anotherglassbox Thank you!!

The preservation of art, of any kind, is the preservation of the stories from those who came before us. Without it, the knowledge you all wield as a weapon of power over others would cease to exist.

[Lakyn Thee Stylist @OgLakyn]

I fear part of the reason “the Met Gala exists to fund the arts” is such a hard concept for some people is because they don’t see the preservation and study and teaching of art as an art in itself.

[stephanie @stephborin]

The teacher shortage is because they are facing funding and resourcing shortages leading to terrible working conditions. My friend who has wanted to be a teacher her entire life is now considering quitting her dream career because she's burnt out and tired of dealing with issues.

Amongst the many reasons that I love the garments designed by Claire McCardell is her fastenings. They are always unexpected, rejecting the convenience of a zip for a neat row of buttons. This is a mid #1950s dinner dress with the most chic of bodices @museumatFIT #fashionhistory
