AWESOME! This is the kind of history that I feel connected to; not all those military dates and political revolutions I had to spit back on History exams! :-)
I somebody with masters in history I firmly believe that all the dates learned in school are a framework to understand the context of thins and moments in the past that are interesting to you. But most people never find the interesting things or at least never connects firmly the Napoleonic wars with Jane Austen's Persuasions and so on...
You had crap teachers. You need those dates to understand what else went on that drove what interests you. No British takeover of India, no paisleys or muslins or available silk. Or tea. It’s like learning math. Suffer a bit when you’re young so you can keep track of the money later. You need that framework.
This is so cool, I went to GSA and have been down a costube rabbit hole and stumbled upon this. Had no idea about the relationship between Mackintosh and textiles , so interesting 🧐
It really makes me think of the beginning of punk and gothic and grunge styles where a lot of the clothing gould not be found and so it had to be diy'd. If only I knew how to sew and had the courage and the presence of mind to fulfill my steampunk-emo-punk-grunge-historical-fantasy-vintage-goth dreams as a teen
I feel that! When I was in high school I desperately wanted to dress in 1940s fashion but I didn't know how to sew back then, nor where to find the clothes.
Loved hearing about the art school fashion tends. As a Theater major (costume concentration) and a Studio Art minor, reflecting, I don't remember a distinct look. Everyone was different. Some people you wouldn't pick out as either but yet they were.
Thanks for the captivating lecture. I find the rational/artistic/aesthetic dress movements to be a fascinating topic, and it's hard to find good reading material on the subject.
I already do this thing when we embroider stuff. My favourite skirt was a plain black circle skirt - I have embroidered white flowers in a pattern all over. I would love to see more of it!
That whole assuming art models dressed the same in the general public is like assuming that the Grecian models walked around in the nude on the street. Possible, but unlikely.
I'm glad I'm not the only one driven crazy by poor costuming in other wise good historical shows and movies. It's like they're history bounding. They're making stuff that is historical-ish at best and still thoroughly influenced by modern tastes. I'd be ashamed.
Frock Flicks is my favourite source of snarking on bad historical TV and movies. the amount of wonderful shows let down by a lack of hair pins is just awful.
Booo! IU sucks, go Purdue!!! Just kidding, but as a Boilermaker engineer I found your question about modern art student clothing amusing, because my immediate reaction was "Have I ever even seen an art student?".
Grunge was just punk but without decent design. Vividness Westwood designed punk. Hersey Johnson designed The Factory. But grunge? It was just buying ugly old clothes at thrift. No central aesthetic at all.
My inner Art Nouveau Movement geek is overjoyed about the Glasgow 4 in the beginning!
yasss!

Thankyou for highlighting all that is wonderful about Glasgow...

this episode was beyond inspiring! I love this period in Art History and it was a huge influence in my work at art school. Really excited for part 2!
Glad you enjoyed it!

I was so jazzed to learn that little snippet about y'all!

I can't seem to find them.

Embroidered collars = the original skinny jeans?
