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

With over 8 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 win of why we wear.

We are friends, fashion historians, and your host, Cassie Zachary and April Callahan.

Okay, dress listeners, a long overdue episode and a long overdue guest.

Today we have our friend and our favorite Parisian collaborator, Rebecca

Devani, on the show. Finally, you have heard of us mention her many times over these years,

and she has become such an increasing presence on our Paris fashion history tours that Rebecca, thank you so much for joining us today.

Hello, ladies. It is very much my pleasure to be here today with you. And thank you very much

for the invitation to be on your podcast. I'm very excited to be here, finally. Yes, we are so

excited to have you here, as April said, long overdue, long promised.

And dress listeners, if you tuned into last week's episode, you will remember that was part

one of our dressed fashion history tour of Paris Recap.

And we promised that Rebecca would be back for part two to talk about her many contributions

including acting as co-host for week two of the tour because I was not able to be there.

Yeah. So essentially we saved all the Rebecca things for part two. Yes. Not to put you on the

spot, Rebecca. And just for our listeners who might not know or might not remember, we would love Rebecca

if you could just do a little bit of an introduction to yourself, tell us about your background

and maybe how you first came to the textile arts.

Absolutely, yeah, my pleasure.

Some of you might be able to hear already. I'm not actually French. I'm Irish.
