I'm SO excited to share my first article (Renaissance Quarterly 76:2)! It is a pandemic-era labour of love, rethinking what this work by van Dyck says about fashion, object materialities, and race. Also, it's open access! 🥳 doi.org/10.1017/rqx.2023.203

My latest OA article is out with @HistoricalJnl! 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/…

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🐒

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.

Got to see this work in person around this time last year -- such a wonderful interpretation by @PeterBrathwaite.

Art historians! Can anyone recommend a text that discusses the paints/pigments used for male and female flesh colour in relation to artists' manuals during the early modern period? #twitterstorians

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!

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).
