Who, What, Why?!
Let’s start with the name… Clotho, the spinner, is one of the three Fates in Greek mythology. Alongside her sisters Lachesis, who measures, and Aisa, who cuts, they wove the lives and fates of mortal beings. What better name to give to my project creating a fun little resource following the threads of human creativity and self expression?
Hello! Clotho Dress Historian here with a blog aimed at bridging the gap between public knowledge and academic writing about dress history. During my time studying (and researching) Costume Interpretation at university I found a distinct need for somewhere to go as a starting point for dress history with referenced examples of things to look into - this is my attempt at creating that for others!
Need something specific researched or just a helping hand starting out? Contact me here and I’ll see what can be arranged.
