The Other Story of Georgian Fashion - Costumers of Color Global Salon Keynote Lecture

This episode is a recording after my Keynote Lecture for the Costumers of Color 2025 Georgian Global Salon. The lecture sheds light on some underrepresented histories of fashion in the eighteenth century. The talk explores how the diversity of fashion practices among Black, Indigenous, and People of Color around the world shaped fashion in the Georgian era. In an increasingly globalized century, fashion became both a form of resistance and an expression of changing, often hybrid, and increasingly complex human and cultural identities. My most special thanks to Gigi Coulson of Costumers of Color for allowing me to share this lecture and everyone who attended the event for their thoughtful feedback, support and enthusiasm!
