I am captivated by the individuals who steer high fashion brands, passionately dedicating their lives to crafting material culture that sometimes approaches an art form. Clothing intertwines with culture, linking us to heritage and history. Our choice of attire narrates a story that connects us to our past and present. Studying history unveils solutions, offering insights to shape a better future. I aspire to spotlight work that holds valuable lessons, contributing to a world of possibilities for improvement.You can find more of my work on Instagram (@rachel.elspeth.gross) and on my Podcast (Available on on all podcasting platforms) Little Red Village, where I have interviewed industry insiders like Janie Bryant, Fern Mallis, Justine Picardie, Sandy Schreier, and many other people whose work frames the way we think about style, fashion, haute couture, and above all, history.
