@RomGothSam Fab! And not forgetting Villenelle. Dr Jacky Collins (Dr Noir)🕷 #NMPM #StillEuropean & are writing about her in our forthcoming article ‘Fashion forward killer: costume, couture & queerbaiting camp in Killing Eve’ for Queer Studies in Media & Popular Culture (IntellectBooks) & as a paper for Critical Costume.

Finally recorded my paper for Critical Costume. Wonderful to have the chance to share Terry's Portia #costume & to know that it will be part of an online video library...But this format definitely come with a whole new level of nerves & impostor syndrome!

Lorraine Smith, senior lecturer in Dance Teesside University will be producing video presentation titled 'Who is choreographing the costume performance? A discussion on shared agency' for the Critical Costume 2020 conference archive. Find out more: buff.ly/3iDDoCk

Had a blast Critical Costume Costume Agency 2020 today. Fascinating working group on costuming ‘othered’ bodies and then a very fruitful discussion about historicism and materiality in the mid 20th century after my paper. Just wish we could have talked for longer and in person!

One of the aspects I love about interdisciplinary research is the lightbulb moments - when you find a critical framework to conceptualise ideas you are working on. Kitty Gurnos-Davies’s presentation for Critical Costume just did that! Thank you so much! costumeagency.com/project/kather…

Loving Natalie Raven & Dagmar Schwitzgebel's provocative, engaging & humorous flash presentation for Critical Costume. Fascinating intersections between art, religion, fabric, flesh & identity. costumeagency.com/project/natali… @NatalieRavenArt Church

Thank you Kitty Gurnos-Davies Amy Hare & Rachel Hannon (+others!) for a really inspiring #criticalcostume2020 discussion today. Such a valuable and open space for #costume centred conversations.

As part of the requirements for my masters degree, I have to find somewhere to give a conference and publish a paper about #costumedesign before next spring but I don't know any places other than Critical Costume #costume designers please help, any ideas?

A very enjoyable listen - might also be of interest to SBTD Critical Costume

Just arrived in the post, my copy of Performance Costume (eds)Sofia Pantouvaki & Peter McNeil. It looks gorgeous, fascinating & really useful. It’s so lovely to see chapters by those who I first met at Critical Costume in Helsinki in 2015 & look forward to seeing again ‘soon’.
