Green often represents illicit love and temptation - in Tamara Lempicka’s Young Lady with Gloves, the emerald dress heightens the power of her sexuality by clinging tightly to her body, and with her red hair, she looks like the women in absinthe posters #TheColourofFashion

These photos of Marilyn Monroe are quite incredible! Taken by Richard Avedon in 1958 for Life mag in a series called the Fabulous Enchantresses, she's dressed up as icons Clara Bow, Jean Harlow, Theda Bara and Lillian Russell 💗

My book Kitted Out, about youth culture & style in WW2, came out at the height of the pandemic & struggled to find an audience.

Its funny when you put so much work into a book but it fizzles out after publication. But so many amazing stories I explored. I'll share some...

From sketch to screen and then auction - the grey suit worn by Kim Novak in Vertigo, and designed by Edith Head. One of the versions made for the film was auctioned by Bonhams in 2016 for US$ 28,750 #HitchcocksHeroines

For #InternationalWomensDay I wanted to share stories of the amazing women from my book Kitted Out: Style and Youth Culture in the Second World War. Diana Barnato, the first woman to break the sound barrier, was a fearless pilot in the ATA, coolly survived several near misses...

The #BattleoftheBulge ended #onthisday in 1945. In my book #KittedOut I describe how Allied troops were freezing & underequipped as snow fell across Europe, & they scavenged whatever they could - warm German jackets, Lugers & Nazi insignia for souvenirs https://t.co/HQi9Ln8ZR2

The three younger Mitfords, Unity, Jessica and Deborah, represented the conflict between fascism, socialism and conservatism that defined the #1930s. 'I hate the beastly Fascists. If you’re going to be one, I’m going to be a Communist, so there,' Jessica said to Unity #KittedOut

The Desert Rats in North Africa in #WW2 improvised their uniform to contend with the temp extremes of the desert: buying kufiyah scarves from Cairo bazaars to protect faces from dust, Aertex shirts, sand goggles & crepe-soled shoes, nicknamed Brothelcreepers. More in #KittedOut

The Victory Girl was a #WW2 phenomenon & moral panic, where teenage girls in sweaters & bobby socks were obsessed with men in uniform. Life magazine called them 'promiscuous, careless, sometimes diseased – a sexual delinquent in the literal sense of the words.’ #KittedOut

For #NationalUnderwearDay I'm going to celebrate the fleecy blue knickers issued to the Women's Auxiliary Air Force (#WAAF) in #WW2 - they were nicknamed Blackouts and Passion Killers, and were generally a source of ridicule #KittedOut https://t.co/qKzEZ9zuKI
