June 17 Today’s hat from 1938 was designed by Jeanne Baron (French). When times were hard and frugal during the 30’s, women turned to more masculine tailored suits and accessorized with feminized fedoras of which this wool hat with it high crown and angled brim is a good example. This was a gift of Mrs. William Ford Goulding in1969. It’s accession number is 2009.300.2146 at https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/156939. #metropolitianmuseumofart, #costumeinstitute, #fashionhistory, #coolfashionobjects, #fashionhistory

June 16 Today is a 1935 silk and rhinestone bar-strap evening shoe from Delman. The open spaces on the upper are very indicative of this era. Hermann Delman was quite a shoe showman. He was the first to see the advantage of having movie stars wearing his shoes in his ads and partnered with exclusive stores as Bergdorf Goodman. He also made a wise decision to hire top designers such as Roger Vivier to create chic designs. These were a gift of Herman Delman in 1955.

This sight made my heart sing. I haven’t seen this many machines in one space since my summer job at Betty Rose Coats and Suits after my senior year in high school. Fashion Group International-Kansas City had the privilege to tour Elevé’s new manufacturing headquarters location Wednesday night. Elevé Dancewear, founded by Lisa Choules has a worldwide clientele. Elevé also provides an inspiring workplace, along with ELA lessons for employees if needed and once a week yoga and Pilate’s classes. This is ethical manufacturing at it’s best. It was also wonderful to see that Elevé helps our local designers; two of my favorites are on her team. It is great to see garment manufacturing back in Kansas City, which at one time boasted 75 factories and employed between 4,000 to 7,000 workers. It was second only to the area’s meatpacking industry. #slowfashion, #ethicalfashion, #fairtrade, #buylocal, #kansascitydesigner, “#madeinUSA, #fashion, #ethicalfashionblogger, #ethicalfashionblog,#midwestblogger,#styleatanyage

June 15 Today’s suit is a good example of day wear from around the turn of the century. Created by the couture house of Beer, which was one of Paris;s most prestigious firms from 1900 until World War I. The somber skirt and jacket is of set by a very modern chiffon print used for the blouse and grass green hat with dyed to match feathers. The spiraling surface decoration is an influence from the Art Nouveau movement. This was a gift of Donna Dalton O’Leary in 1999, Its accession number is 1999.135a–e at https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/82538. #metropolitianmuseumofart, #costumeinstitute, #fashionhistory, #coolfashionobjects, #fashionhistory

June 14 Keeping with June’s green theme; it’s jewelry for today; a European gold and malachite brooch dating between 1885-1900. This was a gift of Dorothy Lieberman, M.D. in 1977. Its accession number is 1977.288.2 at https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/104865. #metropolitianmuseumofart, #costumeinstitute, #fashionhistory, #coolfashionobjects, #fashionhistory

June 13 Sylvia Pedlar (1900–1972) was an American fashion designer specializing in lingerie. She is the only designer to have won the Special Coty Award more than once, in 1951 and 1964. She designed today nightgown for Iris Lingerie Co., Inc. (American, 1929–1970) in 1966. The synthetic piece shows how Pedlar continued to use the toga form, which she originated in the 1950s. Also of note is its stand-away cuffed neckline that was very popular in dresses of the mid-1960s. This was a gift of Sylvia Pedlar and Mr. Philip Saffir in 1970. Its accession number is 2009.300.3870 at https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/158855. #metropolitianmuseumofart, #costumeinstitute, #fashionhistory, #coolfashionobjects, #fashionhistory
