Bet there's one thing about the history of fashion that you never considered - in the big scheme of things, how many African-American designers can you think of? Stephen Burrows, Willi Smith, Scott Barrie and who else in the 60s and 70s??? Now it becomes a study in American history and racism, doesn't it? Not until the Civil Rights movement was there anything but white white white on Seventh Avenue. The world was shocked when Trigere used dark-skinned models! And then came model Naomi Sims and a small handful of designers who breathed life into the stale scene. Even if you sleep in your birthday suit, there is always a time and a place for a beautiful, sexy, slinky nightgown and better if it has a slinky robe. Saturday mornings on the porch of your little rented cottage in Martha's Vineyard, sipping strong strong coffee from a porcelain bowl. Late Sunday nights at your boyfriend's parents house in Omaha, standing in the light of the open refrigerator, whispering to your honey in the dark. Cream nylon printed with green and yellow shells with a very low cut decolletage and matching covered buttons. Made for Barad, the bust measures 38" and it is 58.5" long. Excellent condition. sold |
