Welcoming the Longest Day 🌞 Today marks the Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year. For centuries, people have gathered at Stonehenge to celebrate this seasonal turning point, continuing traditions that stretch back thousands of years.

This vibrant crimson dress comes from Lie Sang-Bong’s Spring/Summer 2009 collection, Discourse: Fragments. Inspired by the jogakbo, a traditional Korean wrapping cloth pieced together from leftover fabrics.

Mitchel Maer was a costume jewellery designer who worked for Christian Dior from 1952 to 1956. 🦄 This unicorn brooch set with cut glass stones is a good example of the sort of whimsical, playful jewellery that came into fashion in the post-war years.

Worn by Rosalinde Gilbert for her marriage to Arthur Gilbert, this gown was purchased from Schiaparelli’s London salon. Its removable sleeves (now lost) transformed it from a wedding dress into an evening gown.
