Dress, the history of fashion, is a production of iHeart Radio.

With over 7 million people in the world, we all have one thing in common.

Every day, we all get dressed.

Welcome to Dress, the history of fashion, a podcast where we explore the who, what, when, of why we wear.

We are fashion historians and your host, Cassidy Zachary.

And April Callahan.

Dress listeners, this week marks the occasion of the 148th Kentucky Derby, which stays back.

I know, right?

It dates all the way back to 1875s.

And the Kentucky Derby proclaims itself to be the longest running sporting event in the United States.

And not to mention, of course, for our intents and purposes, that it is a fashion event in its own right.

And our American listeners will most likely be familiar with the Derby as an iconic showcase for headwear, millenry.

The tradition for wearing bold and unique hats to the Kentucky Derby is part of the showcase and spectacle,

which is why we are so pleased this week to be joined by the featured millenry of the 148th Kentucky Derby Christine Moore.

Christine, welcome to Dress.

Christine, welcome to Dress.

We are so excited to have you on the show.

This is actually a topic that I've been thinking about and wanting to do an episode on for quite some time.

So thank you so much for joining us.

Oh, thank you. I'm so honored.

Yay. I'm super curious about your path to becoming a milliner.

It was, you know, 50 years ago, a very, quote unquote, traditional female occupation.
