Historic Pajama, How Beach Pajamas Reshaped Women's Fashion

I am incredibly honoured to celebrate 80 episodes with these fantastic women who teach me a thing or two about this niche part of fashion history that starts with men in a pajama and ends with women in trousers. In conversation with Janine D'agati and Hannah Schiff, vintage fashion collectors, historians and authors of 'From Sleepwear to Sportswear, How Beach Pajama's Reshaped Women's Fashion'. We get into how this is the first academic text on the subject, the origin of Pajamas and it's east meets west journey, the smoking suit, how the rise of the beach holiday was a catapult for opulent resort dressing, the controversy of the beach pajama, the beginning for Coco Chanel, differen't beach pajama styles, the incredible beach pajama designer of the time Mary Nowitzky, how the trouser finally became normal for women, why the term beach pajama faded out, how the beach pajama transformed women and culture, and so much more <3I can not reccomend this book enough if you love fashion history this is an amazing read with so many incredible archive images to go along with it.
