#gifitup2018 challenge:

“GIFs by remixing copyright-free and openly licensed material from Europeana, Digital Public Library of America, Digital NZ and Trove.”

#digitalLibrarianship and #fashion.

Though I haven’t updated my “Current reads” for this month, I’ve checked out a lot of fashion books on Dior, Manolo, Gucci, Chanel, Sneakers… and some fashion history titles as well.

So,

from Dior’s 1952 Spring/Summer line
donated to the V&A in London given by Mrs D.M. Haynes and Mrs M. Clark
on display at the (to see more digital items from the Victoria & Albert Museum: click here.)

I Gif’d It Up.

I also learned some Photoshop CC & Microsoft Fresh Paint in the process Whole thing took about 1.5 hours.
