Catàleg de l'exposició Moda i Modistes que va tenir lloc al Museu d'Història de Catalunya del 3 maig al 13 d'octubre de 2019. L'exposició, fruit de la col·laboració entre el Museu d'Història de Catalunya i la Fundació Antoni de Montpalau, posa en valor el treball de les modistes al llarg del segle XX; presenta una mirada àmplia a l'obra i la trajectòria de tantes dones que, sovint, han restat en l'anonimat més enllà de la memòria oral familiar respectiva o del record, cada vegada més apagat, de la seva antiga clientela.

I'm so happy to know you're actually an historian on top of holding that account for the community.🫶

I wanted to ask if you knew some ressources that covered what were different historic fashion in the different Catalan Countries, on different eras and centuries?

My main institute for research and learning is too limited on the subject, so I got redirected to online libraries.

Hi! 😁 Sorry it took me some days to answer, I've been very busy and I was waiting to get a moment to answer this from my computer because adding links from the app is a pain.

(This is secondary but first of all I wanted to say I'm actually an archaeologist and not a historian, I left that ask without specifying what I had studied in relation to history because I don't want to give much information about myself online lol, but I don't want to give wrong credentials either.)

I can give very limited information about this because it's not my area of study, sorry. I'm assuming for your blog description that the resources can be in Catalan, am I right? (because I don't know anything in English about this)

My first thought was the Virtual Museum of Fashion of Catalonia. They have digitalized pieces from different collections around the country. You can browse them by many different labels. But most of them are from the 18th century to nowadays, very few are older than that.

Then my second thought was that the collection Barcelona 1700 surely had one tome dedicated to clothing, and of course they do! It's this book:

Barcelona 1700 is a collection of books about different topics of life in the Early Modern Period in Barcelona, each of them written by historians (or other scholars) specialized in that particular topic. If you're looking for 17th and early 18th centuries, you'll find it here.

You can also check past exhibits from the Valencian Silk Museum and you can find some information in the website of the Garnet Institute (Northern Catalonia).

For the 20th and 21st century, there are many more things. You can check the collection of the Design Museum or the Foundation Antoni de Montpalau which specializes in preserving fashion from the 20th century. And for an overview of seamstresses and fashion in the 20th century, there's this past exhibit from the Catalonia History Museum that continues to be available on their website: Moda i modistes.

If you look for specific time periods, you can probably find more articles or other sources of reliable information. I've checked to see if anything would come up with a quick search on Google Scholar and I found this PhD thesis titled "L'art de la indumentària a la Catalunya del segle XIV", this other PhD thesis titled "La indumentaria señorial femenina catalana del siglo XV y su reflejo en el arte", or this article "La indumentària tradicional d'Eivissa segons les aquarel·les de Joan d'Ivori", "Pasado de moda: una serie de ilustraciones de la indumentaria popular valenciana". I also found this article titled "Definició de dues tipologies de vestit a través del seu ús històric: la indumentària d'arrel tradicional i el vestit d'inspiració internacional" that cites many other books that could be useful to you: Indumentaria tradicional by Joan Amades (of course, how could Amades not have covered everything!), La indumentària civil catalana: segles XIII-XV by Isidre Marangues, Indumentària tradicional del Pallars by Ramon Violant i Simorra, El vestit tradicional d’Amposta. La seva època by Màrius Lopez Albiol, etc.

I don't know what level of analysis and accuracy you're going for, but maybe you can find it useful to take a look at historical recreation societies. Most of them here are from the Baroque period or the Civil War, but you can find them throughout all the Catalan Countries (various Miquelets groups in the Valencian Country and Catalonia come to mind, or the Le Temps du Costume Roussillonais in Northern Catalonia which reaches until the 1910s).

If there's any specific period of history that you're looking for, I can try to find more about that. All the articles I've linked in this post are open, so you don't need to access it through a university or research institution. I hope it's useful!

i love your style so much! every time you post clothes/accessories you buy or things you want, they're always so unique and lovely! what are your favorite stores for these things?

aww i never thought anyone even paid attention honestly but, the usual suspects! i cruise needsupply, anaise, bona drag, the frankie shop, mr larkin, garmentory, totokaelo, the dreslyn, the modist, moda operandi, pixie market, kick pleat, & other stories, cos, zara occasionally, and then some interspersed little online boutiquey brand shops i follow i guess. a few aus/nz brands like alpha60, gorman, kowtow, c/meo collective, camilla and marc, ellery, some more i can’t think of. ��i can end up deep in an ebay hole for like months trying to find a single item but sometimes it works out–like i get some hyped $500+ shoes for like 80 bucks in bnib condition
