Let me tell you about a woman named Renée, a lover and patron of fashion—and the creation of visionary artist @stevendewildekovrigin! Here, Renée wears one of her favorite coats that just happens to be Paul Poiret’s “La Perse” with a woodblock print textile by Raoul Dufy. Stay tuned for my upcoming interview with the talented Steven, but in the meantime check out more of his incredible artwork at his website and at the Parallax Art Fair at Kensington Town Hall, booth C12, July 20th-22nd! Somebody go for me and report! #theartofdress

Episode 16: Queen Alexandra: Behind the Seams, an interview with Kate Strasdin⠀
⠀
Princess Alexandra of Denmark on the day of her wedding to Edward, Prince of Wales, March 10, 1863. The wedding dress, made by London dressmaker Mrs. James, was altered after the wedding by Madame Elise so that Alexandra could wear it again. It still survives today in the Royal Collection where it was examined in person by this week’s guest interview, fashion scholar Kate Strasdin. Strasdin recently published a book Inside the Royal Wardrobe: a Dress History of Queen Alexandra (Bloomsbury 2017). Image credits: 1./3.) Photos by John Jabez Edwin Mayall, 2.)

Happy Pride 🌈! @dazed: “Nearly a century ago, a lesbian couple took the helm of British Vogue, transforming the fledgling magazine into a tour-de-force of fashion, art, literature, and journalism. Dorothy Todd and Madge Garland masterminded it all, bringing the most luminous figures of the day into the fold; from Virginia Woolf, Edith Sitwell, and Gertrude Stein to Man Ray, Jean Cocteau, and Le Corbusier, the stellar line up of contributors was unparalleled.” Cover of #Vogue, 1924.
