“If the public can predict you, it starts to like you. But the Marchesa didn't want to be liked.” For the first three decades of the twentieth century, the Marchesa Luisa Casati astounded Europe. Artists such as Man Ray painted, sculpted, and photographed her; writers such as Ezra Pound and Jack Kerouac praised her strange beauty. An Italian woman of means who questioned the traditional gender codes of her time, she dismissed fixed identities as mere constructions. Gathering on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the first publication of Infinite Variety: The Life and Legend of the Marchesa Casati (the first full-length biography of Luisa Casati, now offered in an updated, ultimate edition), Michael Orlando Yaccarino joins Valerie Steele, Joan Rosasco, and Francesca Granata in conversation about the enigma that is the Marchesa Casati.Michael Orlando Yaccarino is a writer specializing in international genre film, fashion, music, and unconventional historic figures. Scot D. Ryersson (1960–2024) was an award-winning writer, illustrator, and graphic designer. Michael and Scot collaborated on many projects, are coauthors of Infinite Variety: The Life and Legend of the Marchesa Casati, The Ultimate Edition, and are founders of the Casati Archives. www.marchesacasati.comValerie Steele is a fashion historian and director and chief curator of the Museum at the Fashion Institute of Technology. Steele is the author or editor of twenty-five books, including Paris Fashion, Fetish, and Fashion Designers A-Z.Joan Rosasco taught at Smith College, Columbia University, and New York University, with focus on European art and culture, French literature, and the Belle Époque period.

Her research focuses on modern and contemporary visual culture, fashion history and theory, and gender and performance studies. Granata is editor of Fashion Criticism and author of Experimental Fashion, and wrote the afterword to Infinite Variety.Praise for the book:"Ryersson and Yaccarino are judicious historians of frivolity who capture the tone of a life that was obscenely profligate yet strangely pure."—The New Yorker"A meticulously researched biography, Infinite Variety is as much art history as chronicle of personal obsession."—The New York Times"Fascinating . . . with or without her cheetahs, the Marchesa Casati's circus of the self makes her a natural for the new millennium."—Vanity FairInfinite Variety: The Life and Legend of Marchesa Casati, The Ultimate Edition is available from University of Minnesota Press.

Prawdopodobnie żaden kolor nie dzieli tak bardzo jak różowy. Uznawany za wdzięczny i elegancki, a z drugiej strony za infantylny, odpowiedni tylko dla dziewczynek. Czy było tak zawsze? A co jeśli powiem Wam, że to nie tylko najstarszy znany nam naturalny barwnik, a przy tym przypisano go kobiecości dopiero w latach 50? W tym odcinku… Czytaj więcej »BARBIECORE. Historia różu.

It's 1965 and London is about to become the capital of cool. Designer Mary Quant is watching the fashionable girls of Chelsea go by from the window of her shop, Bazaar. Their hemlines seem to be getting shorter and shorter. Inspired, Mary gets to work and what she comes up with many will find deeply shocking. It's the miniskirt. In episode eight of Torn, Gus Casely-Hayford finds that media, society and feminists can never agree on whether the miniskirt is a good thing. Fashion historian Valerie Steele draws parallels with the 1920s when feminist disagreed over whether the knee-length flapper skirt was frivolous, or favourable to feminism. 
 Gus discovers that when Mary Quant popularised the miniskirt in the 1960s, no matter what the papers or parents had to say about them, girls and young women were desperate to get their hands on one. Eve Shrewsbury was one of them, and she shocked the older generation in her village in rural Northamptonshire by wearing a miniskirt. Fast forward to 2019 when Clara Mitchell decides to wear a miniskirt to high school in Little Rock, Arkansas and the controversy surrounding her decision goes viral.

El análisis de tendencias es el estudio de factores sociales, culturales, políticos y económicos para entender cómo va cambiando la sociedad, cómo esos cambios influyen en el estilo de vida de las personas y cómo todo esto afecta a la moda. Aunque es un proceso complejo, las tendencias se han ganado mala fama y se consideran entre los temas más superficiales de la moda. En este episodio de Salón de Moda desmitificamos el análisis de tendencias para mostrarles que se puede usar como parte de la descolonización de la moda latinoamericana.Referencias:Alison Matthews David, Ph.D.: https://www.ryerson.ca/fashion/about/full-time-faculty/Dr-Alison-Matthews-David/.Caroline Stevenson entrevistada por Bel Jacobs, “A new way of living and dressing”, BBC, 21 de septiembre de 2020, https://www.bbc.com/culture/article/20200921-is-2020-a-turning-point-for-fashion.Els Dragt, How To Research Trends: Move Beyond Trend Watching to Kickstart Innovation (Amsterdam: BIS Publishers, 2017).Eundeok Kim, Ann Marie Fiore y Hyejeong Kim, Fashion Trends: Analysis and Forecasting (Oxford: Berg, 2011).Lauren Rossi, https://www.instagram.com/virtuouscourtesan/.Racked, “Lauren Rossi Is A Modern Day Marie Antoinette”, video de YouTube, 3:59, 6 de diciembre de 2017, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qC_ZiczdKw0&list=PLyZqu_TCqhRyE7Ws2-MevydORZtRPG0kF&index=26&t=7s.Regina Lee Blaszczyk y Ben Wubs, The Fashion Forecasters: A Hidden History of Color and Trend Prediction  (Londres: Bloomsbury, 2018).Valerie Steele, Ph.D.: https://www.fitnyc.edu/museum/about/director.php.Encuéntranos en:http://culturasdemoda.com/salon-de-moda/ @moda2_0 @culturasdemoda #SalonDeModa Agradecemos a Fair Cardinals (@faircardinals) por la música, a Jhon Jairo Varela Rodríguez por el diseño gráfico y a Maca Rubio por la edición del audio.

En este episodio hablamos de uno de nuestros temas favoritos: la curaduría de moda. La motivación de grabar esta conversación también viene de los malos entendidos que hemos identificado con respecto al término de “curaduría” de moda. Aunque en Latinoamérica la palabra curaduría con frecuencia se asocia con las grandes ferias y eventos de la industria. En realidad abarca todo el proceso de planeación y puesta en escena de las exposiciones e incluye un trabajo impresionante de restauradores, conservadores, investigadores y diseñadores, entre otras personas.Referencias: Annamari Vänskä y Hazel Clark, eds.

The English segment of this podcast, Dressing Woman, aims to create discussions and bring voices that specialize in the critical study of fashion and aesthetics. In this episode, writer Vanessa Rosales interviews the incomparable and iconic pioneer, scholar and historian Valerie Steele. Doctor Steele founded Fashion Theory: The Journal of Dress, Body & Culture in 1997 and is also the director of the Museum at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York. She has written on a vast array of subjects - the corset, Paris, heels, gender, Chanel, the 70s, power, femme fatales in nineteenth century and has lead innumerable exhibitions on a myriad of topics, from punk, to queer fashion and weaponized femininity. In this conversation they discuss contemporary definitions of fashion, the growing unrest towards its darker neoliberal and capitalist aspects, as well as the timeless repudiation towards the topic and of fashion's paradoxical nature. They discuss the shifts in the field of fashion studies - where doctor Steele has been a witness and shaper - they touch upon fashion as social innovation, decolonization, inclusion, power, fashion and feminism, and the future of fashion education. There's also a reflection on the ways in which Colombia and Latin America can think and theorize fashion it the specificity of context. An episode that's meant for anyone who is interested in the critical thinking of fashion, featuring one of its most illuminating and pioneering voices.

Dress up every day as if you’re going to meet someone important; dress to meet the day!         Call to Action:   The Museum at FIT is rich in color, fashion history, and fashionable art.  I encourage you to visit as often as you can.  The current exhibition is “Minimalism/Maximalism” that defines the two extremes along the design spectrum.       Tags: Dr. Valerie Steele Fashion Institute of Technology FIT Museum at FIT Fashion history Fashioning the Body Powerful color Encyclopedia of Clothing Paris fashion capital The power of pink Fashion studies The Freud of Fashion The Business of Fashion Bio Couture Smart fashion Timeless vs ageless Fashion as language Anti-aging series ElementsandGraces.com Holistic beauty Holistic plastic surgery Holistic beauty coach Dr. Shirley Madhere DrShirleyMadhere.com Holistic plastic surgery Holistic nip & tuck Holistic beauty Beauty inside and out Beauty from within Beauty transformation Beauty Transformation Program ElementsandGraces.com Forever FAB Forever FABMD Forever FAB podcast Diversity in beauty Diversity in wellness Diversity in plastic surgery Intention in beauty Intention in wellness Beauty intent Beauty insight Beauty holism   For more information on Dr. Shirley visit: www.elementsandgraces.com Instagram/Facebook/Twitter: @foreverfabmd   Produced by www.oneofoneproductions.com Recorded, mixed, edited and original music by www.23dbproductions.com   Interview/Guest Opinion Disclaimer The views and opinions expressed in this podcast program are those of the guests and do not necessarily reflect the official policy, opinion, or position of Dr. Madhere or the production team.

Valerie Steele’s deep contextual dives into the history of fashion set her apart from other academics and curators—two identities she embodies in equal parts. The chief curator and director of the Museum at the Fashion Institute of Technology (since 1997 and 2003, respectively), she has produced upwards of 25 exhibitions while also, over the past 15 years, leading the institution. No corner of fashion is out of bounds for the charismatic and multifaceted Steele. Past exhibition subjects have ranged from corsets to gothic fashion to queerness to the color pink. Writing, too, has been a major part of her unabating scholarship, as is evident in her authoring or co-authoring of nearly 30 books over the past few decades—the first of which, on fashion and eroticism, was a product of her final Ph.D. dissertation at Yale in the early ’80s. For Steele, clothes aren’t just tangible garments—they’re the constant medium through which to better understand things like politics, psychology, sexuality, and time. (Perhaps not surprisingly, in 2012, Suzy Menkes of The New York Times dubbed her “the Freud of Fashion”—a moniker Steele relishes.) Her rigorous, vibrant exhibitions—and her career as a whole—are the ultimate clapback to academics who once snubbed her studies as frivolous. Her next Museum at FIT showcase, “Paris: The Capital of Fashion” (on view from Sept. 6, 2019, to Jan. 4, 2020), collects roughly 100 objects that exemplify the “cultural construction” of the French city, from the 18th century to the present, contextualizing the evolution of artisanal haute couture into big business. On this episode of Time Sensitive, Steele and Spencer Bailey discuss her ongoing obsession with the city of Paris, academia’s continued distaste for fashion as a subject of worthy inquiry, her circuitous path to FIT (she dropped out of school at 15 and lived in a “lesbian-feminist commune” before attending Dartmouth for undergrad and Yale for her Ph.D.), and why luxury menswear is on the rise.

Dr. Valerie Steele, director and chief curator of The Museum at FIT, presents "A Queer History of Fashion" at The Museum at FIT's 13th fashion symposium, held November 8-9, 2013. The symposium was presented in conjunction with the exhibition A Queer History of Fashion: From the Closet to the Catwalk, the first museum exhibition to explore in depth the significant contributions to fashion made by LGBTQ individuals over the past 300 years.

With the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall riots and WorldPride happening this month, we turn our attention to LGBTQIA+ people and their relationship to fashion. To begin, Valerie Steele, the director and chief curator of The Museum at the Fashion Institute of Technology, discusses the role fashion has played for queer people throughout history. She references “A Queer History of Fashion: From the Closet to the Catwalk,” an exhibit she co-curated that was the first in-depth look at LGBTQIA+ contributions to fashion over the past 300 years.  To get an understanding of the issues young queer people are facing today – and fashion’s role in telling their stories – host Sachin Bhola speaks to a few leading voices in the community. The first is rapper Taylor Bennett, who came out as bisexual in 2017. Next, Pierre Davis and Arin Hayes, the founders of streetwear brand No Sesso, weigh in on fashion’s commodification of sexual identity, particularly around Pride. To get the perspectives of people who don’t work in fashion, Bhola solicits the opinions of Jackie O and Mercy Kelly from The Hetrick-Martin Institute.  One brand that has long been invested in supporting the LBGTQIA+ community is Gap, and its 2019 Pride campaign features author and activist Jodie Patterson. She talks about her chosen family and what she’s learned raising her transgendered son.  We then take a global perspective on the LGBTQIA+ identity and talk to Ian Daniel, co-host and co-producer of Gaycation, who gives us a snapshot of queer people’s experience around the world and their relationship to fashion.  This episode of Fashioning Identity examines the hardships and the triumphs of LBGTQIA+ people, thinks critically about the role fashion plays in their lives, and more.

On our first episode, we explore the relationship between what we wear and the politics of gender. To begin, Jack Halberstam, a professor of gender studies at Columbia University, defines gender and helps contextualize it in fashion. Next, Valerie Steele, the director and chief curator of The Museum at the Fashion Institute of Technology, shares some critical moments in history when fashion challenged traditional gender norms. To investigate whether or not fashion has the power to change people’s ideas about gender, host Sachin Bhola speaks to a few gender-bending people in fashion, including Hood By Air’s Ian Isiah, musician Shamir, and Suited Magazine‘s Ash Owens. Also, Highsnobiety’s editorial director, Jian DeLeon, weighs in on the current state of heterosexual masculinity and what fashion can tell us about it. We then consider the future of gender identity through the lens of fashion by speaking to Jackie O and Mercy Kelly from The Hetrick-Martin Institute, and look outside traditional gender binaries, notably to those who identify as transgendered. Bhola speaks to Ian Alexander, best-known for playing Buck on Netflix’s The OA, to get his perspective on the trans identity. This episode of Fashioning Identity unpacks fashion’s role in constructing – and deconstructing – gender identity, recognizes the diversity in gender, and much more.

Följ med Stil till New Yorks modedistrikt för att träffa en av världens främsta modeteoretiker, Valerie Steele. Valerie Steele har lyckats med vad många länge ansåg vara näst intill omöjligt att göra mode till ett ämne värt att studera på hög akademisk nivå. Valerie Steele är en av världens första och riktigt stora och kända modeteoretiker som dessutom är chef för FIT Fashion Institute of Technology.På FIT finns också ett modemuseum, med mer än 50 000 olika plagg från 1700-talet fram till idag. Varje år står Valerie Steele bakom en utställning på FIT som hon själv kurerar.Modeutställningar är en chans för människor att se exklusiva plagg som de annars aldrig kommit i närheten av, säger Valerie Steele, som har varit drivande i frågan om att publiken även ska få kunna ta bilder inne på museet. För henne känns det som en självklarhet, då alla tar bilder av allt hela tiden. Det är också rent krasst även ett marknadsföringssätt för FIT som på så sätt förekommer i sociala medier. Fler och fler amerikanska museer tillåter idag besökarna att ta bilder, men får vi hit en utställning  från Europa är det vanligt att de vill förbjuda fotografering, säger hon.   Förutom att ha en doktorsexamen från universitetet Yale, har Valerie Steele skrivit ett dussintal böcker om olika modefenomen om skor, om dans och mode, om kvinnliga designer, om hur det kommer sig att Paris blev en modestad, och inte minst den viktorianska korsetten. Böckerna är alla skrivna med lätt hand, men med djup kunskap i botten, och flera av dem är översatta till andra språk.I intervjun berättar Valerie Steele bland annat att trots framgångarna kan hon ännu uppleva känslan att vara en främmande fågel. "För akademikerna är jag en modemänniska och för modemänniskorna är jag en akademiker", som hon brukar säga.
