    WHISTLER & WARDROBES (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone

    Read excerpt

    Here is a little snippet of the lecture I gave at the Tate last week! I’m saving the juicier contemporary fashion comparisons for those who were there (thank you again, times a million), but I’m obviously sitting on loads of Whistler research right now. Let me know if you’re interested in him, and I can share much more. Should we talk about the history of the boa (one of Whistler’s favourite accessories) next?!
