Blog Highlight: FIDM Museum and Galleries Blog

For those of you who are hard core into the history of fashion like me, I wanted to make sure that you knew about a blog that will not only educate but provide you will some seriously drool worthy close up shots of historical pieces of clothing.

Just to give you an idea of how much of a nut I am when it comes to historical fashion, my last spring semester in college I took a course that was about nothing but that very subject matter. For the final project we had to compile a lookbook of the various eras of fashion with current fashion that was pulling influence from the periods, i.e. a current collection that would have ancient Egyptian influences or influences from the Regency Period. Anywho, because it was such a crazy semester and I'm a very forgetful person, I completely left out one whole section of this 6 section lookbook and I still got an A for the class.

So yeah, I'm kind of obsessed when it comes to vintage or historical fashion. I wanna get in there and look at the seams, the buttons, the weave of the fabric. I'm not satisfied with looking at just the overall silhouette or color. So for those of you who share my sickness, the FIDM (Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising) Museum blog is one you definitely need on your blog roll! This is just one example of the many wonderful specimens that they have for you to ogle at your heart's content!
