What does it mean to be someone's "muse"? Historically, to be called a “muse” among artistic circles has been marketed as a flattering title. But the very concept of a muse underestimates these women and their abilities. At its root, muse is a support role, the title a consolation prize that claims to recognize a woman’s greatness—but only in her support of another. I'm Not Your Muse reclaims the narrative of 31 of these extraordinary women.

Сериал "Аббатство Даунтон" полюбился многим за эффектные костюмы, однако каждое платье — это не только дань моде, но и отражение сложной, удивительно интересной эпохи. Действие начинается гибелью "Титаника", и заканчивается в конце 1920-х годов. Давайте посмотрим, как длинные юбки становились короче, как пышные укладки превращались в стильный боб, и каким стремительным и вместе с тем плавным оказался процесс изменения мира, человека и его вкуса в одежде. От изысканных нарядов прошлого – к тем, которые мы сегодня и сами были бы не прочь носить!
