Did an embodied investigation of affective, sensorially-engaging fashion materials yesterday. Can confirm that feathers do indeed produce emotional responses in the wearer! (And yes, I will probably want to wear these shoes to my viva).

Just realising how expensive airbnb has become -- Where is everyone staying for their research trips these days? Any recommendations for Genoa would be greatly appreciated!

Dress historians! Can anyone recommend sources/texts on the dress and/or regulation of dress of early modern sex workers?

Happening today!

Managed to catch Sargent and Fashion at Tate before it closed! Loved seeing garments in dialogue with paintings, and important acknowledgements of the imperial and colonial dimensions of Sargent's portraiture.

Had a wonderful time perusing van Dyck's Italian Sketchbook at the BM. His attention to sartorial detail and the dimensions of the human body is breathtaking. His monkeys are pretty cute too🐒

My latest OA article is out with The Historical Journal! For this I used probably my favourite source to date: a book of sumptuary denouncements that lists guilty parties, numerous repeat offenders, and everything about infringing ensembles! cambridge.org/core/journals/…
