THE LEXICON is a research archive of dress.

It annotates landmark runway collections for forensic visual and cultural analysis, and reviews film through costume — the most consistently undervalued craft in cinema.

Founded 2026. Edited by Angelo Sanchez Dela Cruz.

Editorial and press enquiries: press@thelexicon.xyz

Screeners, press screening invitations and interview requests are welcome. We cover costume design, production design and dress on screen, and are particularly interested in speaking to costume designers, cutters and costumiers — the people whose work reaches the audience without their names attached.
