Full video Saturday Nov 23. With all the petticoats, hats, bustles, coats, and fashion of the 19th century, how did they manage to travel without bringing along hundreds of pounds of clothing? Did they simply wear one outfit for weeks on end? Turns out their packing recommendations might actually still be useful today.

"Fashion is dead" seems to be thrown out every few years. Usually after a disappointing season on the runway. But are we really on a path to unisex jumpsuits with no personal style? To understand where we are potentially headed, we need to know how we got here. So join me in looking at the last few centuries of style to understand why people previously participated in Fashion. Obviously none of this applies to basic clothing and the demands and needs we have of that. Yes, everything is designed and made by someone in the industry, but we're talking about the bigger societal trends. The choice ..read more

Full video Saturday the 16th. With the world dressed in t-shirts and jeans, does Fashion even matter anymore? Is it just to make us buy more stuff? Or is it some futile effort for arts sake? To know why it's still around today, we have to look at why it was around centuries and decades ago. Fashion has been around for millennia, but it's purpose has always been in flux.

Turns out, the road for its history is just as curvy as its toe. Though there is clearly a similarity between the modern icon and the late 17th century fashionable shoe, that may be entirely a coincidence. Up until the 1900s, witches were depicted in bare feet, flat common shoes, or occasionally a modern style poked in. No pointed toes, curvy heels, buckles, or giant tongues to be seen. That is, until tha ..read more

Just how did the iconic witch shoe come to exist? What is it based on? And more importantly, is it actually wearable? It certainly looks uncomfortable. This week, join me in walking the witches road to learn the story of these magical shoes.

Full video up Saturday October 12. From the 8 hour work day to teaching Art in schools, the story of how hobbies became an option for all of us is full of drama. In fact, we rioted to get our free time, then a panic over mental health filled it all back up. The world we were promised and prepared for is one of 5 hour work weeks and free education for all.

Whether it's the bright and colorful 1980s or funky Y2k fashion, we're always looking back to find inspiration. But, we're running through decades in just a couple of years. Are we really speeding up that much? Has fast fashion, or the micr ..read more

Full video up NOW. Supposedly the trend cycle is speeding up to the point that it's going to break due to everything from fast fashion, to microtrends, to individualism. But, how far back does this cycle actually go? Is there actually a consistent pattern that we can track through time and see it speed up? Or is there something more complex at play? Let's look at some modern Fall 2024 trends to understand how styles come and go. Starting with Bell Bottoms! Flared pants have been a popular style off and on for around 200 years, but we rarely talk about them being around before the 1970s. Join t ..read more
