About

I'm a daily wearer of historical clothing and a Volga Tatar. I’m also passionate about experimental archaeology. I enjoy glimpsing firsthand into what it may have been like for people in the past, applied in a modern context by exploring historical fashion and hand sewing, and how we can interact with the world in a more compassionate, sustainable, and connected way. For business inquiries please contact: [email protected] For my own everyday clothing, I wear Ancient Greek, Medieval, Renaissance, Prehistoric and other eras, as well as incorporating more of my Indigenous (Turkic) dress. All the garments I make for myself are 100% hand-stitched and are slow to construct! I feel this is a wonderful way to connect with the process of sewing and show the durability of hand-sewn garments. This is a welcoming space for all genders, sexualities, ethnicities, and any other marginalised groups. My account is supervised by the Dutch Media Authority.

In this episode, I interview textile and lace historian Elena Kanagy-Loux, on 500 Years of Lace History, an incredibly exciting and fascinating topic! Elena moves from the 1400s until the 1900s, explaining how lace and lacemaking have evolved and developed throughout the world during those time frames. It was such a pleasure to facilitate this conversation, and I learned so much from listening to Elena and her incredible knowledge about historical fashion and lacemaking.
