Feminism Came Through Trousers, Not Burning Bras
1975 Yves Saint Laurent Smoking Jacket photographed by Helmut Newton
My first job as a teenage reporter on a local paper in 1969 had a dress code: no trousers. A man had to wear a tie and a woman wore a skirt. My workplace rebellion came the day I turned up in a grey flannel Young Jaeger trouser suit (as worn by Jean Shrimpton and photographed by David Bailey), and was sent home. As there...

This is SO Monster’s Ball-esque. The feeling in this one, the energy, the strangeness, is as glowingly odd as the day-glo neon dashed across the pages.

Where 300+ kids have 4.0's, students come in for... →
My heart rate increased exponentially just from reading this… Oh, humanity…
So entirely shaken by this that I have to go run it out now. Holy shit.
I want to take these kids, strap them down in a movie theater and make them watch Ferris Bueler’s Day Off just to gauge their reaction.

On the Road... to Fashion
Fashion adores to steal book titles and conceptualize them into couture-gooky dreams of editorial fantasy… A peek at the prices of the clothing DOES raise the question as whether Jack or any of his numerous characters, like Japhy who’s “scared of all this American wealth,” would approve. If nothing else it is the triumph the jewel-encrusted wheels of capitalism that have...

Over a century ago, in the 1870s, Elizabeth Cady Stanton—a tireless crusader for the rights of women—began talking about the importance of girls’ bodies, in a lecture entitled “Our Girls.” She gave this lecture in cities on the East Coast and in the Midwest, but also in small towns throughout Ohio, Iowa, Nebraska, and Missouri. By this time, Stanton was a matronly, gray-haired grandmother in her...

Before World War I, girls rarely mentioned their bodies in terms of strategies for self-improvement or struggles for personal identity. Becoming a better person meant paying less attention to the self, giving more assistance to others, and putting more effort into instructive reading or lessons at school. When girls in the nineteenth century thought about ways to improve themselves, they almost...
