I had the pleasure of getting up close and personal with this Schiaparelli treasure last summer during a visit to the @chicagomuseum lead by the collection’s manager and curator @jessica_pushor. This 1937 coat was designed by Schiaparelli in collaboration with the artist Jean Cocteau whose embroidered signature (executed by the House of Lesage) you can glimpse at bottom right. Multiple extant versions of this two-piece ensemble reveal the design was executed in grey (like the illustration) and cream like the version at the Chicago History Museum. The illustration is in the collection of @madparis. Comment NEWSLETTER for more fashion history “behind the seams” brought to your inbox monthly!

Comment “Revolution” for full details of my upcoming, live online fashion history course, What Women Wore to the Revolution: 1930s-1960s! Throughout the 20th century, women’s lives changed dramatically—and so too did the clothing they wore. In this four part class, we will explore the innovators and innovations responsible for the revolutionary changes sweeping through women’s dress during some of the most beloved and iconic eras in the history of Euro-American fashion: the 1930s to the 1960s. From Depression-era fashion fantasies to the “Make Do and Mend” of WW2, from Dior’s “New Look” to the liberating micro-minis and blue jeans of the 1960s, we will meet the women—and the clothes—that continue to captivate our imaginations and shape the way we wear to this very day.

Comment NEWSLETTER for more behind the “seams” fashion history content ❤️ Parisian society hostess Madame Nicolas de Bénardaky as “Valkyrie” in a fancy dress costume by the great haute couturier Charles Frederick Worth. Worn in June 30th, 1891. The label read “Marcel Proust frequented Madame Bénardaky’s (1855-1913) salon in her mansion on the Rue de Chaillot [in Paris]. Her daughter Marie was a childhood friend of the writer.” I had the pleasure of seeing this beauty—along with dozens of other Worth treasures—in Paris last summer in the exhibition Worth: Inventing Haute Couture.

The embroidery!! The costume was worn by the Japanese soprano Tamaki Miura in an early 20th century performance as Cio-Cio-San in Puccini’s Madame Butterfly. It is in the collection of the @metopera where I had the pleasure of admiring it in person on a private fashion history tour last December. Want to join me on NYC behind the seams day tours this year?

Vintage Ford Trucks. A Timeless Icon. Ford’s truck story goes back to the Model TT in 1917, but the real turning point came in 1948 with the introduction of the F-Series. Over the following decades, trucks like the F-100 became part of everyday American life, evolving from straightforward work vehicles into something people also bought for personal use, recreation and style. The different generations brought new shapes and ideas, but the basic purpose always remained the same: build a truck that could work. Maybe that’s what makes vintage Ford trucks so timeless. The upright proportions, simple grilles, long hoods and straightforward design were never created to follow trends, yet they’ve aged incredibly well. Faded paint, worn badges and a little bit of patina only seem to give them more character. They were built to be useful, but somewhere along the way, they became icons of American automotive design.
