Arts
Welcome to Episode 30 of our Podcast! We have been waiting to release this episode for *months* (almost a year at this point!) - last summer, when we were in Scotland working on the Isabella MacTavish Fraser wedding gown (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43ZTV_YxlgI) we were able to take some time to slip away to the Glasgow School of Art Archives (https://gsaarchives.net/) to have a chat with Dr. Robyne Calvert about Artistic Dress and "the Glasgow Style" (& Glasgow has some of the best style around...) In this first part, we spend our time talking about Charles Rennie Mackintosh and Margaret Macdonald - the husband and wife artist power couple at the turn of the 20th century, the Glasgow School of Art, and just the concept behind artistic & aesthetic dress. With lots of delicious visuals, we know you're going to *love* this art history lesson. For the next episode, we're going to take some time to really explore the original Edwardian clothing that Dr. Calvert shared with us, including an Edwardian Collar (in the Glasgow Style), and Edwardian Capelet, and an Edwardian Dress (that is also *probably* a suffragette dress - but more on that later. ?) We also want to give a special thanks to Dr. Robyne Calvert and The Glasgow School of Art Archives and Collections for allowing us to visit and enjoy your collection. https://gsaarchives.net/ --------------------------- Like what we do?
