ThreadTalk - Fashion History with Natania Barron

11/20/2024

Fun fact: didn't entirely go away. I have over 30 "dresses of the week" and lots of other musings over on my Patreon.

And when I do a BIG thread, I always save some of the best for my subscribers. This week is an absolutely jaw-droppingly gorgeous bodice from 1761.

This Friday, join me for a class about the intersection between Botany, Alchemy, and Perfumery. I've been doing so much research, and dreamed of giant beavers (if you know what castoreum is, you know why).

7PM this Friday!

Tomorrow is the big day, and if you haven't heard me talk about QUEEN OF NONE... here's all the things people have had to say about the book since its publication.

This journey began over a decade ago, and has continued to amaze me every step of its impossible journey. Having the chance to see the series through is thrilling beyond belief.

This is the Arthurian tale I needed. So I wrote it.

QUEEN OF FURY drops this December, with QUEEN OF MERCY the following summer.

Later this month I'm giving a class about one of my favorite subjects:

BOTANY, ALCHEMY, and PERFUMERY in SFF.

How plants heal, inspire, and grow their way into our worlds. A situation where truth is way cooler than fiction!

A peek behind the silk: time for some
and a look at Mary Livingston Duane's life & legacy in fashion.

I particularly love when I find hand-written letters. And, this one has a cameo by none other than Alexander Hamilton.

What am I doing personally to combat AI garbage? Well, commissioning two amazing art projects, to start!

(Also this collab came through me talking about fragrances--so, ADHD for the win!)

A free post lurks this way, all about and and mental health.

To say my perfume journey has been inspiring is a bit of an understatement.
