🎞️ • “I had expressed that I wanted to pay tribute to the ruby slippers and to Judy Garland with this dress, and Daniel really created the most extraordinary piece of Ozian art.”

Watch as curator Lydia carefully examines this dazzling ruby-red bustier ball gown and matching pumps, designed by .

Worn by for the 2025 Academy Awards, where she was nominated for Best Supporting Actress, the striking look weaves together the world of Oz with Schiaparelli’s surrealist legacy.

Finland’s libraries are expanding their role by lending out sewing machines, giving people the tools to repair clothes instead of discarding them. Alongside books, visitors can borrow equipment or use in-house machines to fix torn fabric, adjust sizes, or refresh older garments.

The idea makes repair more accessible. Not everyone owns a sewing machine or has space for one, but a shared library resource removes that barrier. It also encourages people to learn basic skills, helping them extend the life of what they already have.

More than a service, this reflects a shift toward practical sustainability. By supporting repair over replacement, libraries help reduce textile waste while empowering communities to reuse and create.

Credit to • The beginning of an 18th century justaucorps in floral lurex metallic jacquard, layered with hand-shaped 3D leather flowers in a variety of designs.

The baste fit is the foundation of the piece, where proportion, structure, and movement are sculpted through couture techniques, bespoke tailoring, and freehand craftsmanship. These are the first steps of the hundreds of handcrafted flowers still to come. The justaucorps will eventually be engulfed in leather flowers.

Credit to • I was nearly 50 before I started to follow my dream.

Being an artist was not seen as a realistic ambition as a school leaver. Instead I followed a rewarding career in health care specialising in neuro-oncology and then palliative care. Art was always a hobby, but I could not imagine it would become my life.

This is a story about remembering what gives you joy. Never give up.

Thank you to for sharing my story in a way only she could conjure

Thank you to my faithful hound, Lucca who makes another best supporting actress role appearance despite her advancing years.
