Biography

I am a dress historian, curator, and author. With over a decade of experience as a fashion designer working commercially, I have built a full-rounded knowledge of the contemporary fashion world rooted in historical perspective.

My interests include 19^th, 20^th, and 21^st century fashion; retail history in New York; Gilded Age America; the American photographer Alice Austen; Israeli fashion; and the history of the luxury brand Gottex which was the topic of my MA thesis paper and an exhibition I curated at the Laurie M. Tisch gallery in New York. I am continuously expanding my interests; I research and write on fashion and its history, using it as a window to history in a broader social and cultural contexts.
