Designer of the Day!

Hey Claire Couture bloggers! I just wanted to give you a heads-up about the new daily designer post! I'll be putting a brand new designer up each day so make sure you check back here for a new designer every day!!!

CLOTHING OF THE MIDDLE AGES!!!

I am currently working on my Middle Ages report for school. And I was lucky enough to get the topic that I wanted. Yes, you guessed it! I got CLOTHING OF THE MIDDLE AGES! I'm guessing you're not surprised. Anyway, I have a really good idea for presenting my report. I'm probably going to dress up as a European fashion designer(Coco Chanel, most likely) and do a monologue with a poster. I would really appreciate your input and if you have any ideas to give me I'm totally open to suggestions! It's due in about a week, so if you have any, hurry in with them!!
