Happy #globalcatday! Here’s the pick of the litter: a charming, petite fan in the shape of a cat’s face made by Duvelleroy and painted by Adolphe Thomasse. Want some #caturday reading content on Thomasse and Duvelleroy? You can learn more on our blog—link in our IG bio!
You gotta *HAND* it to the maker of these gloves: they did *KNOT* mess around! These cotton fishnet gloves would have been stellar in all-black, but the rainbow striped gauntlets are a nice touch...

The model may look like she’s wearing a wrap, but an illustration in L’Officiel magazine (March, 1955) shows it’s actually a dramatic chapeau with billowing red chiffon panels. This stunning design is in the FIDM Museum collection!
Time for a 155 year-old #TBT: what would have been in your closet as a wealthy woman in August 1964? This fashion plate from Godey's Lady's Book shows a few of the popular trends - note the severe dagging, plus a continued love of checks and plaids!
Next in our @TheAcademy #BestCostumeDesign review: Alexandra Byrne nominated for @MaryQueenMovie. Byrne’s designs are a departure from her previous Elizabethan projects - most of the costumes are made entirely of denim! (Costume Illustrator Belinda Leung)
This striking sketch of @ReginaKing in @BealeStreet is by costume designer Caroline Eselin and illustrator Robin Richesson.
