Likely not as the fabric is shredding and incredibly weakened. It’s not very treatable. Look at the lighter areas near the shoulders.

Black and white photo of a young white man sitting on a lawn in bright sunlight, smiling broadly at the camera. He has a tortie kitten in his left hand white a tabby climbs up his shirt next to his neck, and two more kittens are wobbling around on his outstretched legs.

On this day I offer you a cute boy covered in kittens. Photo from my collection, no documented date/info.

Fashion and Feminism Have Always Co-Existed—and Gloria Steinem Is the Blueprint For more than 50 years, Steinem has proven that women can not only care deeply about the way they dress, but use clothing as a powerful force for change.

Common Threads: Bread and Roses — How Working Women Shaped the Labor Movement | The Saturday Evening Post The idea of “Bread and Roses,” which sought to center self-fulfillment, education, and culture in the struggle for justice, came to define women’s labor activism of the early 20th century.

114 years ago today the Triangle Fire killed 146 people, mostly young women. In the face of tragedy, labor activists organized. In my piece for @satevepost.bsky.social I talk about how their demand for Bread and Roses shaped the labor movement. 🗃️ www.saturdayeveningpost.com/2025/03/comm...

I knew that the structural pink gown in Schiaparelli’s recent collection reminded me of something and it reminded a this. Balenciaga’s 1950 evening dress with similar but embellished bodice and layered tulle skirt #museumatfit #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

I'm sorry, WHAT?! A new piece of the Bayeux Embroidery has been found?! OMG!

Can't believe we are still doing this. Such a stupid question that showcases how much this reporter has no understanding in fashion politics, while Zelensky is a master at that. Here something I wrote about it a few years ago: www.washingtonpost.com/made-by-hist...

Then Tyger Fierce took life away: the Contemporary Material of Tigers Then Tyger Fierce took life away: the Contemporary Material of Tigers

At a great workshop yesterday the need for quantitative data on heritage for policy makers was being discussed. A number of people said "we all know the number of Tigers in the world, but we don't know the number for endangered heritage" which reminded me of this > www.academia.edu/1763717/Then...
