Скачать или смотреть SiW Webinar: Beetle Wing Embellishment

Delicate and luminous beetle wings have been used for embellishing costumes and accessories for at least 150 years. J. Leia Lima Baum, a fashion consultant whose interests are equally divided between the past, present, and future of fashion, offers a pictorial overview of beetle wings throughout history in various cultures, followed by the Indian tradition of metalwork embroidery and its subsequent spread worldwide, with a live demo of techniques.

Over the past two decades, speaker Leia Baum has researched and created historical dress, both for her own wear as well as facsimiles of extant artifacts for museum exhibitions. Her award-winning research and handwork involving beetle wing embroidery have been shared at academic symposia and conferences worldwide.

This webinar series was made possible in part by a grant from the International Costumers' Guild Marty Gear Costuming Arts and Sciences Fund.
