Dressed: The History of Fashion

The First Book of Fashion: 16th Century Fashion Blogging with Ulinka Rublack and Maria Hayward

From 1520 to 1560, the style-conscious accountant Matthäus Schwarz and his son Veit Konrad immortalized their adventures in dressing in a series of stunning, hand-painted portraits that provide a window into the period within which they lived. Historians Ulinka Rublack and Maria Hayward join us to discuss this extraordinary primary source which was published in full color as The First Book of Fashion: The Book of Clothes of Matthäus and Veit Konrad Schwarz of Augsburg.
