115. *Preview* Edward Jones, Corsetier, Couturier & Collector (Full Episode on Patreon & Substack)

In conversation with Edward Jones, of @edwardjonesatelier on how his early fascination with the understructures of victorian dress, the diaries of lady's maids and the hidden details and soft techniques of old haute couture sewing set him on his journey to becoming a couturier. Edward gets into the parts of couture sewing people may not realise and how hard it is to translate couture pieces in the digital age. We speak about what may be lost if this way of making isn’t up kept and the danger that puts couture fabric houses in. We get into his antique corset collection and his interest in preserving the corset history of the wartime and post war era. Other topics in our conversation include more on his collecting, 80s Emanuel Ungaro, his hat collection, the hats by the legendary milliner Madame Paulette, the punctuation mark of a Stephen Jones hat, whats next for the Edward Jones Atelier and so much more <3Full episode on Patreon and Substack both subscriptions get you ad free full episodes and access to my monthly editing the doom scroll newsletter <3Get access to cant not map which pre pins vintage stores all over the world to your maps >> www.cantnotshop.com
