My brain is tired so simply feast your eyes on Schiaparelli’s 1941 velvet evening jacket reflecting the times in which she lived. As Frenchwomen were encouraged to grow vegetables during war, so she designed the stitches for a part of the story onto her trademark colour #V&A #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

A photograph of one of Schiaparelli’s 1940s evening jackets. This has a pink velvet bodice with black sleeves. The pink is covered with embroidered vegetables and the buttons are silk carrots

Hello fountain pen hounds, can I introduce you to someone from my family’s history? This is W E Wiley - in the 1850’s he invented a better method of slitting gold pen nibs, thus reducing their cost, so more people could buy them, from a guinea to 5 shillings- he’s a bit of a hero of mine 🖋️ ❤️

'The Reader.' (1885) Ferdinand Hodler was the star of late-19thC Swiss art. His respect for elderly men led him to use as sitters those who frequented the café near his Geneva home. It was a mutually beneficial arrangement: 'they confided in me, and I listened to them while they posed.'
