reading > what people wore when

First saw this book at the Brooklyn Museum when Jen and I visited the Jean Paul Gaultier exhibit (I’m just name dropping now. Life sounds way more fabulous this way, humor me).

Nabbed it on Amazon a few weeks later and now I’m flipping through it and learning all about headwear trends of the 1500s.

Picture books forever.
