From the (hilarious) disasters behind the scenes to our favorite moments and hairstyles - Lauren and Abby sit down in the first episode of our 2020 Fashion History with American Duchess Podcast to discuss the ins and out of our second book, "The American Duchess Guide to 18th Century Beauty".
Whether it was Abby vs. Her Grandfather's chair, the challenges of working with modern hair, the easter egg jokes in our footnotes, writing the second book was such a joy and we are so thrilled to share this work with the world.
Whether you're a historical costumer, costume designer, looking for new and different makeup and hair tutorials to try out, or wanting to up your history bounding game, this book has something for everyone - from sewing & millinery projects to new historical research, plus, we've cited the ever-loving heck out of it - so that way you can see that we're not making this stuff up (well, except for our chapter titles ;) ) - that this information is based on years and years of intense academic research.
If you're curious about Emma Markiewicz's Ph.D. on Hair that was mentioned in the episode - you can read it for free here: wrap.warwick.ac.uk/66909 - it is fascinating!
