Episode 370: Beach Pajamas: From Sleepwear to Sportswear, an interview with Janine D’Agati and Hannah Schiff

We declare caftans over and beach pajamas IN!!!

This week fashion historians and vintage collectors Janine D’Agati and Hannah Schiff join us to discuss their book From Sleepwear to Sportswear: How Beach Pajamas Reshaped Women’s Fashion which presents groundbreaking new research on beach pajamas as a missing piece of the puzzle in women’s adoption of pants in the early 20th century.

Episode 367: Fashion & Disability, an interview with Dr. Kate Annett-Hitchcock, part II

Hearing-impared designer Helen Cookman was the heart and soul of the Functional Fashion line which created clothing solutions for dressing for disability from 1955 to 1976. Seen here is a patent for Cookman’s design for a functional pair of trousers which was picked up by Levi’s in the 1970s to create stretch denim jeans for persons using wheelchairs. Function did not mean sacrificing fashion, as the jeans featured the flared hems trending at the time and also Western-style pockets with colorful topstitching.

Episode 366: Fashion and Disability, an interview with Dr. Kate Annett-Hitckcock

This week Dr. Kate Annett-Hitchcock joins us for a two-part episode to speak about her book The Intersection of Fashion and Disability: A Historical Analysis which is a sweeping history of how fashion, dress and disabilities have been navigated over the last 500 years. Among the many fashionable persons with disabilities profiled is Lavinia Warren Stratton, who was a well-known celebrity of the late 19th century, rising to fame as part of P.T. Barnum’s “living museum.” A great lover of fashion, Lavinia’s wardrobe contained Paris couture created for her small stature by ‘father of haute couture’, Charles Frederick Worth as well the American paper pattern-company maven, Madame Demorest.

Episode 358/359: Sonia Delaunay: The Art of Everything, an interview with Waleria Dorogova

A personal favorite from the exhibition were the works documenting the Delaunay’s work with the Ballet Russes’ 1918 production of Cleopatra. The widely acclaimed staging from 1909 featured the costume designs of Leon Bakst some of which survived a fire and returned to accompany Sonia’s new designs for the principle dancers. Robert Delaunay redesigned the sets in the colorful style of Orphism, and the Delaunay’s exquisite take on Ancient Egypt first premiered at the Coliseum Theatre in London on September 5, 1918.

Episode 358: Sonia Delaunay: The Art of Everything, an interview with Waleria Dorogova, part I

Now mostly remembered as a painter, this week we look at the broad spectrum of the work of Sonia Delaunay with a special emphasis on her fashion and textile designs. Waleria Dorogova, co-curator of the exhibition Sonia Delaunay: Living Art which is now on view at the Bard Graduate Center in New York City joins us to speak about the years of research she did with Laura Microulis to deliver this fresh new perspective on Sonia’s career.

Episode 348: Fashion Fads from History: Live On or Leave to the Past?

In the wonderful and often bizarre world of fashion fads from history, we ask the question: which should live on to wear another day and which should be left to history?

Episode 346: Mildred Blount: The Girl with the Golden Fingers, an interview with Taylor Bythewood-Porter

A fashion historian in her own right, Mildred Blount scoured primary sources to teach herself the history of millinery from the Renaissance to the late 19th century and her miniature recreations of historic millinery styles were exhibited at the 1939 New York World’s Fair.

Her own original creations defined American millinery of the mid-20th century and Mildred was a favored maker to high society, designing bridesmaid headpieces for the wedding of Madame C.J. Walker’s grand-daughter, Mae Walker, as well as the bridal veil for Gloria Vanderbilt’s wedding to alleged mobster Pat di Cicco.

Episode 346: Mildred Blount: The Girl with the Golden Fingers, an interview with Taylor Bythewood-Porter

Once voted one of the top 4 milliners in the world, the story of milliner Mildred Blount has shockingly been lost to history. Responsible for some of the most iconic hats to ever grace the silver screen, Blount worked with Walter Plunkett to create the hats for Gone with the Wind and with Cecil Beaton on the millinery styles seen in Gigi. The first African American to be admitted to Hollywood’s Motion Picture Costumers Union, Blount owned her own millinery shops in Harlem in the late 1920s and, later, in LA during the 1940s.

Episodes 343 & 344: Women Dressing Women, an interview with Mellissa Huber and Karen Van Godtsenhoven, parts I & II

These exceptional 360 degree views of evening gowns by Marcelle Chaumont and Jeanne Lanvin are aided by a v-shaped mirror configuration. This clever trick was employed by Madeleine Vionnet during the early 20th century when photographing her designs to document them for copyright purposes. Just as simple and effective today as it was then and a clever wink to fashion history, the Costume Institute employed the idea for Women Dressing Women by using it in both the catalog photography and exhibition design.

When entering the exhibition, visitors are greeted a v-shaped mirror vignette featuring the work of Madeleine Vionnet, Elsa Schiaparelli and Coco Chanel, a reference to The Costume Institute’s own history, as these three designers have all had dedicated exhibitions at The Met.

This week we are joined by Mellissa Huber and Karen Van Godtsenhoven, curators of The Costume Institute’s exhibition Women Dressing Women, which is on view at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City through March 10, 2024.

Episodes 339/340: Dressing to Undress, an interview with Dita Von Teese, parts 1 & 2

Among Dita’s longtime collaborators in creating her stage costumes include fellow burlesque performer and costume designer Catherine D’lish. Dita likes to joke that their working relationship centers around their shared desire to add more Swarovsky crystals to just about, well... everything. Fans of Dita’s costumes can get their very own Catherine D’Lish creations as D’Lish has her own line of luxury loungewear for the bo***ir.

Episode 339: Dressing to Undress, an interview with Dita Von Teese, part 1 & 2

A longtime proponent of do-it-yourself beauty, Dita transformed herself from “a dishwater blonde from a farm town in Michigan” to a glamor girl of international renown. Finding inspiration in the Hollywood starlets of the 1940s, Dita taught herself vintage hair and makeup in the pre-internet days of the 1990s. Still today, she frequently does her own hair and makeup for performances, photoshoots and red carpet events, keeping in the tradition of showgirls of the 19th and early 20th centuries who were usually responsible for their own hair and makeup on stage.

You can check learn all her tricks of the trade in her amazing 400-page beauty book Your Beauty Mark: The Ultimate Guide to Eccentric Glamour which was published in 2015.

Dressed Classic, Episode 164: The Red Dress Embroidery Project with Artist Kirstie Macleod

()
・・・
Thinking back to our visit to meet Hilaria Lopez, one of the 2 artisans supported by in Chiapas. She lives with her family in San Juan Chamula a beautiful (and very insular Tzotzil town). ⁣
⁣
Hilaria was taught embroidery by her mother at 7 years old, and she loves it! In fact her whole family embroider and make clothing, and she sees herself always embroidering. ⁣
⁣
The Lopez family live in a beautiful house that tumbles down the hillside....with black sheep, chickens, rabbits, pretty flowers and the most speculator of views. ⁣
⁣
It was a very peaceful few hours, with minimal words - and those that were shared had to go between two translators - one from English to Spanish and another from Spanish to Tzotzil (one of the many Mayan dialects spoken in Mexico).⁣
⁣
This was the moment she first put on the Red Dress inside the families sewing room. Standing on a box, I spread the skirt around her - she seemed a little overwhelmed with it all at first (not surprising at just 19 years old) but settled into the whole experience beautifully.⁣
⁣
I loved the way her whole family came and stood behind her for some photos. ❤️⁣

Dressed Classic: Norma Kamali is Invincible, parts 1 & 2

Perhaps our modern-day McCardell, Norma Kamali’s work taps directly into the ethos of American sportswear introduced in the 1940s by fellow-female designers Bonnie Cashin and Claire McCardell (among others). Kamali blazed onto the scene in the 1970s, directly picking up the mantle of the generation of American sportwear designers before her, and her work is seminal in cementing American fashion’s reputation of chic minimalism.

(And are treasured items in April’s closet!)

Kamali joined us to speak about her thoughts on life, style, the future of fashion as well as her recently-released book Norma Kamali: I Am Invincible.

Looking back over six seasons of the podcast, it is hard not to get emotional thinking about all of the wonderful people we have met throughout this journey. So many people from around the world have generously gifted us their time to share with us and our listeners their stories told through the lens of the clothes we wear. These experiences are all the more treasured as some of these past Dressed guests are no longer with us, and that includes Ms. Mary Wilson, founding member of the Supremes. In celebration of the 100th episode of the show, Ms. Mary joined us in 2020 to discuss her then newly released book Supreme Glamour which celebrates the integral role that fashion—and supreme glamour—played in the success of one of the greatest singing trios of all time.

Episode 162: Hanae Mori, an interview with Ayaka Sano

In addition to references to waves and tigers, this silk caftan features Mori's signature butterfly motif. A favored motif in Japanese textiles for centuries, the butterfly held a deeper meaning for Mori. During a visit to New York in the early 1960s, Mori attended a performance of the opera Madame Butterfly and was taken back at how Japanese culture was portrayed on the American stage. Soon after, she launched her line in the United States, bringing her modern take on traditional Japanese design motifs to western consumers. The butterfly was ensconced as the emblem of her house and represented her commitment to sharing the beauty of her culture.

After our recent @dressed_podcast episode with @patternplayusa on the Cooper Hewitt exhibition about pioneering textile designer Dorothy Liebes, we are so pleased to share the museum’s wonderful reel that celebrates her friendship with another innovator of mid-century design Bonnie Cashin. #Repost @cooperhewitt This friendship inspired a rainbow of iconic fashion. 👗 ✨ Weaver Dorothy Liebes & designer Bonnie Cashion were a dynamic duo in modern fashion design. Their aesthetic connection hinged on a heightened understanding of color and texture. Liebes’s saturated hues were woven into bold checks and plaids which Cashin transformed into ponchos, tunics, and skirts. Several of their fashions are on display now at Cooper Hewitt. Follow our ongoing series “Dorothy Liebes &” to explore more creative collaborations and gain a glimpse into Liebes’s working relationships using materials from @CooperHewitt & @ArchivesAmerArt Cooper Hewitt’s exhibition “A Dark, A Light, A Bright: The Designs of Dorothy Liebes” is open now and features several of Cashin’s fashions!
