Check out issue #1 of the new fashion periodical Vestoj: The Journal of Sartorial Matters for an interview with Betsy Bloomingdale about wearing haute couture. Titled “Good Time and Passing Time: A Conversation with Betsy Bloomingdale,” the interview was conducted by Kevin Jones and Christina Johnson, co-curators of the recent FIDM Museum exhibit, High Style: Betsy Bloomingdale and the Haute Couture.
