Introduction
It seems that in the crowded arena of fashion and style blogs there still remains a void for news and discussion about social-cultural, academic, historical, and critical thoughts on dress. So you can look to Worn Through for info on everything from smart textiles to museum exhibits to global trends to scholarships–as long as it’s about dress. Currently, I’m in a Ph.D. program about Apparel and Culture and have my Master’s and Bachelor’s in Design, Textiles, and Merchandising as well. I’ve survived many aspects of the retail world, taught a handful of university classes, worked at museums in varied capacities, wrote fashion articles for the local hipster paper, and wardrobe styled rock stars, comedians, mannequins, and grandmas, among others. But that is enough about me….let’s see what’s up in the world of dress and fashion….-Monica Sklar
