  • The Museum at FIT Costumes & Accessories Curator & Author Colleen Hill

    I love exploring the intersection and history of costumes and fashion. After all, how would we know if it's an original idea without something to reference? The next episode of the podcast features Colleen Hill, Curator of costumes and accessories at The Museum at FIT, New York. 

    We chat about what she does as a museum curator and her latest 90s-inspired coffee table book. We even get into some fun costumes trivia like...

     - Which 90s sitcom character was scripted to be a fashion student at FIT. 

     - What decade mixed metals became a thing. 

     - What vintage collection pieces she looks for when shopping.
