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!
For her S/S 1994 collection, #AnnaSui mixed futuristic textiles with Peruvian-inspired knits and babydoll dresses. Sui told @voguemagazine “I wanted to work with punk iconography, but re-colored into a more optimistic palette...Innocence looks very fresh to me.”
Excited for the annual #MuseumMatch tomorrow with @SoCalMuseums...stay tuned to see which of our #ArtofCostumeDesign mannequins will find a match in another Museum's collection!
First up: @LittleWomen designed by Jacqueline Durran, who just received the @BAFTA award for her work on the film. Read about her process via @voguemagazine here: https://t.co/QYE9ZduiG8
