She keeps Moët et Chandon /In her pretty cabinet /"Let them eat cake", she says /Just like Marie Antoinette /At anytime an invitation /You can't decline

Before we end the #PalaisGalliera 's Worth: Inventor of Haute Couture exhibit, I am going to do a few posts showing some other non-outfit posts that the museum had on display. One such incredible collection of items was these sketches of Worth's fancy dress costumes from #VandAMuseum.

Ncuti Gatwa & Edward Bluemel Get 💘 Bromantic💘 Over Shakespeare Treasures ⚔️ Unexpected Item 👀 Who knew Shakespeare could be this steamy? 😮💨 In this episode of Unexpected Item, Ncuti Gatwa and Edward Bluemel get up-close to some REAL artefacts from Shakespeare's era. From a dagger with a message that resonates with Jägerbombs and vaping, to the first ever copy of Shakespeare's full works being (quite a bit) sexier than anticipated... The dreamy duo channel their onstage personas of William Shakespeare and Christopher Marlowe in the play Born With Teeth – with the Elizabethan objects bringing to life the drama, conflicts, flirting, and lust between the playwrights. 00:00 Introduction 00:45 The first folio of Shakespeare’s plays, published in 1623 01:36 Ncuti Gatwa's favourite Shakespeare 01:54 Edward Bluemel's saucy Shakespeare 02:56 Two works by Christopher Marlowe 03:36 Who was Christopher Marlowe? 04:30 Dudgeon Dagger from 1605 04:59 Pen case from about 1600 05:35 Shakespeare and Marlowe's For You pages 06:24 Plague pomander made in 1600...

Ncuti Gatwa & Edward Bluemel erkunden elisabethanische Objekte im V&A Museum – inspiriert von ihren Rollen als Shakespeare & Marlowe in „Born with Teeth“. Charmantes Video mit britischem Flair:

In the 18th century, Japanese craftsmen made netsuke in the form of standing European figures. Many of them were shown holding an animal, like this Dutchman with a dog. The Dutchman's eyes and nose are exaggerated, and he wears a layered outfit with pantaloons and hose, along with a typical, large Dutch hat. The ivory has aged and turned yellowish-orange.

I’ve always loved Japanese #netsuke and this ivory caricature of a Dutchman and his dog was too good not to share. Netsuke is a toggle. Japanese men used netsuke to suspend various pouches and containers from their sashes by a silk cord.

Period, 18th century. #VandAMuseum

Anyone else dreaming of having complementary tiaras with their sister (or in my case my “chosen sister)? #TiaraTuesday

Repost from @antiquejewelleryhistorian

2 sisters. 2 tiaras. 1 legendary jeweler- twin testaments to Cartier.

For #WeddingWednesday, here is a dress worn by Flora Diamond when she married Philip Jacobs in June 1923 in Bayswater Synagogue in London. It was designed by Aida Woolf, a teacher turned dressmaker. She was also married in a synagogue, so was also most likely Jewish. #VandAMuseum #Fashionhistory

Today's #ootd is this 1765-1770 robe a la francais made of purple silk faille with a multicolored floral brocade.
#VandAmuseum reminds us that although this type of dress was worn from the 1750-70s with gradual changes to its silhouette, the patterns in vogue changed seasonally. They also mention
