Thank you Maggie and "Threads"...this is an amazing interview. BRAVI!! What a fortune to have received - as NYU Florence - this gift from Sir Harold Acton, and Maggie Raywood to be with us all these years, with her growing expetise and passion. Francesca Baldry, Collection Manager
The article was so wonderful, but this interview has added another dimension to my fascination. I had seen the house on a trip to Florence but as I was being a travel nanny at the time, there wasn't sufficient free time for me to enter and explore without a 2-year old in hand! Thanks to Maggie for making this come alive as only someone who's seen it all literally from the inside could do. That final picture of the gowns glittering like fireflies in the Florentine evening light was exquisite!
Oh my goodness, this episode made my heart flutter. What a fabulous interview, I could have listened to Maggie all day. I hope that some of her work will eventually be published especially the photos of the small details of the gowns.
I would love to see these dresses given the Janet Arnold treatment. Graphed out and detailsed and published. There's not enough of that. Oh if only people now understood the garment must fit you not you must fit the garment.
I loved this podcast! Thank you, Maggie, for sharing you expertise, and especially your awe and love of great art created to be worn.
Absolutely outstanding! So beautifully spoken and so carefully explained. A world long gone, but with Maggie, you are right there in all it's glory.
Hands down the absolute best podcast Threads has ever done!

This podcast and the magazine article were fascinating. I would love to see more photos of the dresses.

Fascinating. Love Maggie’s passion for the dresses.

Is Maggie planning on publishing a book because I think a lot of us would love to have it as a resource!
