Fashion history for a better world
Episode 10
Thursday, 11 December, 2025
Join me in celebrating the tenth episode of Redressing Fashion! It has been a long journey, filled with constant changes—including the major transition I’m currently navigating. So today I take more of a reflective stance to share personal milestones, my recent career shifts, and a bunch of not-so-loose thoughts about the importance of fashion history in shaping the future of the industry. I talk, in particular, about the need for deeper engagement with historical narratives to avoid cultural appropriation and promote inclusivity at the broad industry and public policy level. At a more personal level, I share insights on how personal experiences with fashion can inform identity and resistance, guiding our path when embracing our values through style choices.-----------------RELEVANT LINKSStyle coaching program: https://laurabelru.com/style/ Advent Calendar post on the pollera: https://www.instagram.com/p/DSFbGrgjBuE/& same video on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@laurabelru/video/7582247361427115294 Find me on:https://www.instagram.com/laurabelru https://www.tiktok.com/@laurabelru https://www.youtube.com/@laurabelru -----------------CHAPTERS00:00 Welcome back!01:36 Let's start with a mini celebration!06:08 Our agenda for this episode08:51 How I got here09:55 What a researcher can bring to fashion16:14 Returning to dreams long lost (and tearing up!)17:23 Why I left academia20:31 What does fashion history have to offer for the industry?21:13 On academic judgement (and more tears!)26:26 Fashion history in the real world32:42 Research-turned-fashion35:59 On wearing my own research36:38 Styling and fashion history38:40 Fashion history applications at a personal level41:38 Three little things
