Dressed: The History of Fashion

Dressed Classic: Rewriting History, an interview with Fabiola Jean-Louis

This week we revisit a conversation with one of our favorite contemporary artists, Fabiola Jean-Louis, who rewrites history by photographing women of color in the historic silhouettes she painstakingly recreates from paper. Jean-Louis' work is currently on view at both The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City and the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston.Want more Dressed: The History of Fashion? Our <a href="http://www.dressedhistory.com/" rel="nofollow">website</a>Our <a href="https://www.instagram.com/dressed_podcast/?hl=en" rel="nofollow">Instagram</a>Our <a href="https://bookshop.org/shop/dressed" rel="nofollow">bookshelf</a> with over 100 of our favorite fashion history titles!
