So I've decided to give this whole YouTube thing a go! My first video has just dropped: Historian's Top 5 Books for Making 17th-Century Dress youtu.be/_ubdtSEiXVg?si… via @YouTube

This is a great opportunity to learn a new skill and to think about how embroidery and applique were used as political tools.

#museum30 Invention - Gunking was invented at the RSC in the 1960s. Look at this beauty worn by Peggy Ashcroft in Peter Hall’s Wars of the Roses, 1963-4. Photos by Gina Print and Reg Wilson (c) RSC. @TheRSC @apac_ssn

@SeasideFerry @kateStrasdin @DressHistorians We are always looking for donations to the Costume teaching collection at UAL Wimbledon School of Art. We can preserve it and use it to teach Costume makers for stage and screen. The embroidery and construction techniques would be thrilling for them to replicate 💛 DMs open ☺️

#fashionhistory people! Does anyone have suggestions for what I can do with this #1950s #eveningdress? It's by Hartnell but I got it ages ago as a barn find and it has serious issues- dye run and lost embroidery. I just can't bear to bin it... @kateStrasdin @DressHistorians

A reminder that you can see Nora Waugh's classic title via Bloomsbury Dress and Costume Library. Students: ask your library for access, as this is a crucial resource for costume designers entering our upcoming PoF and PfP awards!

We would like to remind our Patterns of Fashion & Patterns for Performance applicants that in addition to patterns from Janet Arnold, you may also utilise Norah Waugh’s patterns. #patternsoffashion #patternsforperformamce #norahwaugh #PoF #PfP #patterns #fashion

Thinking of doing a PhD on history of fashion, shopping, or material culture? 👗👑🛍️ I'm particularly interested in supervising projects on recreative practice 🪡🧵🧶 @Midlands4Cities scholarships are a fantastic opportunity for doctoral training, networking, and support.

‘It’s the capital of creativity in the capital’. A wonderful introduction to UAL in today’s @thetimes Good University Guide. We’re so proud to have been awarded second spot for Specialist University of the Year too.

@philosophybites Great piece on Montaigne and death in The New European today. Montaigne felt the same way about death as I did when faced with giving birth; terrified, but “nature will tell you what to do”. Loved it!

Just realised I publish over 50 philosophy pieces a year in magazines and newspapers, not to mention online interviews and podcasts. Perhaps not as lazy as I sometimes feel.

The creative industries are a British strength. But their future is in jeopardy. 9 out of 10 creative businesses struggle to attract highly skilled talent. The number of students taking arts GCSE has fallen by 40%. At @UAL, we've launched a Commission to see what can be done

Last night our VC @jimpurnell set out UAL’s mission to support and shape the creative industries and education, now and for future generations, and announced our new commission with @ElizaEaston ↓ ow.ly/ucUF50PLeSi

So what did Vikings really look like? TV/movies tell us they looked like dollar-store biker gangs, wearing black leather, covered in dirt and allergic to colours... but in reality... they looked like 1970s pop singers. Seriously, thread time.🧵 Photo: Roberto Fortuna

A terrific costume research vacancy! I’m already envious of whoever gets this lovely job 🙃

We are thrilled to share this feature from today's @GdnUniversities University Guide, our status as a Creative Champion and one of this year’s biggest risers! Find out more: ow.ly/StUJ50PJC0M
