In this episode of Becoming Artsy, Jessie endeavors to update the classic Getty video “How to Wear a Toga the Ancient Roman Way”, alongside archaeologist and educator, Janessa Reeves.
In this video, the two Roman Empire enthusiasts show audiences not only how to wrap and wear a toga, but how to make and sew one for themselves!
Together they travel to the Los Angeles fashion district, sew an authentic Augustan toga, visit the Ancient Roman portraiture gallery at the Getty Villa, and wrap their toga with the help of Shelby Brown and Desiree Zenovich in the Getty Villa’s famous outer peristyle.
