The Hellenistic Era of Fashion

In this episode we discuss all things Hellenistic fashion. We will talk about Alexander the Great, the aftermath of his death and how it influenced the fashion trends of his vast empire. Strap in folks, this one is going to be big!

We had a lot of fun making this episode and would like to specifically thank the wonderful Dr Amelia Brown at the University of Queensland, who took time out of her busy schedule to talk to us in this episode.

Unfortunately, this episode will be our last for the foreseeable future. We have had a brilliant time creating this content for you and hope to see you all again down the road.

Stay curious,
Lots of Love
Liv and Ellie
