I feel obliged to post something red, white and blue as well - A Chanel feather skirt.

Maybe the only reason I never liked pellon interfacing is that I didn't know they come in that many variety.

Suleman Anaya, "Are Blockbuster Museum Shows Helping or Hurting Smaller Fashion Exhibitions?", Business of Fashion, 10 June 2013.

A few of my favourites from the Stephen Burrows exhibit at @MuseumofCityNY. There were many more.

Lots of hemstitching going on in this season's Isabelle Toledo. This is one example. Lovely.
