2023/12/28

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about what it means to be a fashion historian. My reflections have focused on a more practical and perhaps even “philosophical” take on what it means to be a fashion historian in the very disturbed world that we live in today. In this episode, I ponder questions like: What is the purpose—if any—of fashion history? How can we use fashion history to actively reshape an industry that is clearly rotten and needs a good shakeout? And what is the role of a fashion historian

Loose Thoughts No. 10 - Decolonizing Quiet Luxury

2023/12/21

In this episode, I reflect on quiet luxury and offer a short overview of the expressions of luxury in the colonial Spanish Americas. While they were certainly influenced by early modern European thought, ideas about luxury in the colonial Americas were also necessarily tied to Indigenous knowledge and worldviews. As such, they might help us devise alternative (and more inclusive) forms of conceiving luxury worldwide.**This was first published as an audioblog on May 12, 2023.--Articles and videos
