I am a freelance writer and lecturer on fashion history and culture with a background in English, Film Theory, Art History, and Costume Design. A longtime resident of New York City / Brooklyn, I have many loves (color theory, burlesque, yarn crafts, and DIY home design), but fashion remains a filter that I use to read and interpret politics, social and class struggles, gender and sexual identity themes, race issues, pop & counter-culture, and more.
