Dress, The History of Fashion, is a production of iHeartRadio.

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

Every day, we all get dressed.

Welcome to Dressed, The History of Fashion, a podcast that explores the who-what-wint of why-we-where-we-are-fashion historians and your hosts, Cassidy Zachary, and April Callahan.

Dress listeners get excited because today we make good on a promise.

Some of you might remember a few months ago when we made a recommendation to follow the Instagram account at Matching.Malania,

which features its founder, Melania Chavaria Nuno, dotting the most amazing ensembles to either parallel or kind of blend into her surroundings.

And given the fact that her chosen locals are often shot in front of these really bright, bold, and simply dazzling murals, which are part and parcel to Mexican street art traditions.

And sometimes she also shoots within the quiet and cloistered spaces of contemporary art galleries and museums.

Well, her work is a feast for the eyes.

And we have been enthralled by her utterly original take on the intersection of art and fashion for quite some time now.

And our so thrilled that she agreed to join us on Dress.

So so excited. And this actually might be a first dress listeners because if at all possible, we highly recommend you check out Melania's Instagram feed at Matching Period Melania

before you listen to this episode or maybe while you're listening to this episode, because while we do endeavor to describe her work as we chat with her,

there really is no way to completely encapsulate the sheer joy of brings and also the incredible amount of planning and care that she puts into crafting each and every image.

Prepare for your day to be instantly bright in friends with all that's been going on this last year and a half, we can all use the daily dose of sunshine that Melania sins our way.

Melania, it is such a pleasure to have you here with us today. We are both huge fans of what you do.
