American West dress history is more than sun bonnets and prairie dresses! When women traveled west, they brought fashion too! New Mexico is a particularly fascinating site of fashion in the 19th and early 20th centuries when the state became a territory of the U.S. in 1850. Anglo-Americans colonized a territory that had first been colonized by the Spanish in the 16th century! Just beginning to skim the iceberg here but clothing is a hotly charged cite of race, gender, class and the (forced) performance of identity. Excited to share this PhD journey with you along the way!

The “architect of dressmakers,” Madeleine Vionnet was a true master of cut and design. To truly appreciate her designs, is to look at them up close and in detail where all the intricacies and nuances are revealed. Evening dress by Vionnet, 1930s. I believe this is in the collection of the @palais_galliera but please correct me if I am wrong! #theartofdress #hautecouture #fashionhistory #1930sfashion #vionnet #madeleinevionnet
