Gustav Klimt’s soft pink brushstrokes conjure up a dress similar to our silk plissé bodice in his 1897-1898 portrait of Sonja Knips. When cataloguing the bodice from our reference collection, we were immediately reminded of it. #gustavklimt #klimtandfashion #historyoffashion #1890sfashion

How did your great-great-grandmother choose her dress fabric? She might have poured over a sample book just like this one.

The abundance of satin stitched flowers around the pocket flap of our #1790s court dress coat reminds us that #mensfashion was not always as restrained as it should become from this time onwards. www.thejohnbrightcollection.co.uk/costume/court-dress-coat/ #historyoffashion #embroidery #1790sfashion

Everyone knows Charles Worth. But in the 1800s, Emile Pingat was just as important, especially when it came to outerwear.

We just photographed our green 1860s-70s dresses that will be tested for arsenic and stored separately if they contain any. Having them all mounted just looked too great to not be shared! #arsenicgreen #toxicdyes #fashionvictims #historyoffashion #toxicfashion #scheelesgreen #victoriandress

But Chanel was never to going to get away scot-free, the caricaturist Sem skewering her cloches ‘plain tea strainers in soft felt, into which women plunge their heads … they would surely have used a shoehorn had this been suggested’.

I'd heard that Oleg Cassini was Jackie Kennedy's favorite fashion designer because he was good at copying knockoff replicas of famous designers while allowing them to be called technically American made.
