Dr Steele is by far the best fashion lecturer, her intelligence and communication make all subjects engaging. I hope you can do more together soon!

Such a captivating speech. I clicked thinking that I might watch for a few minutes and I stayed till the end. Lovely lady.

This is surprisingly engrossing. She is a very good presenter. This covers FRENCH DESIGNERS. Those in the comments who are grousing about this or that was omitted; it's not an overview of world fashion history -- just French Couture.

Such a knowledge of fashion history. I've enjoyed reading some of her books. I also saw the Charles James show she mentioned at least 6 times. I live nearby. So great you're at FIT.
