There is a timeless quality to this dress. It could be Calvin Klein in the 1990s but on fact shimmied its sequins in the late #1920s, electric blue and sheer and devastatingly chic @phxart #fashionhistory 🗃️🪡

Oof, tonight I am weary. A balm for tired eyes with one of my all time absolute favourites. It is mid 1950s Madame Grès in pink velvet sculpted onto the body. And relax…… @PalaisGalliera #fashionhistory

Candy coloured and fresh, it almost looks like a Bridgerton-esque pastiche of a late #1770s gown but is in fact completely original. I am imagining the accessories that went with @MuseodelTraje #fashionhistory

Mmmm red velvet and silk jersey make for a happy combination here. Late #1940s Mme Grès with a twist, in addition to her customary pleats, a chic sweep of velvet collar to frame some fabulous necklace @museumatFIT #fashionhistory 🗃️🪡
