Instagram post 2195244906073641763_2070318920 A little Monday motivation to get the week started: In 1938, L.A. Kindergarten teacher Helen Hulick went to jail for wearing pants in a courtroom. On Nov. 9, 1938, Hulick, 28, wore slacks during a court appearance to testify against two men — and her testimony was rescheduled and Hullick was ordered by Judge Arthur S. Guerin to return to the court in a dress. Hulick was quoted in the, Los Angeles Times saying, “You tell the judge I will stand on my rights. If he orders me to change into a dress I won’t do it. I like slacks. They’re comfortable.”

Instagram post 2191582762867407777_2070318920 Sometimes context can change one’s entire perspective...Walking down 7th avenue in Manhattan’s fashion district, you might be surprised to see a massive button and needle leaning against the Fashion District Information Center. While the sculpture was designed in the style of works by Claes Oldenburg, it was designed and built along with the information center by Pentagram Architectural Services. Just next to the information booth, a statue of a garment worker toils in the shadow of the huge needle and button. This weathered-looking bronze statue is a work by Judith Weller. It depicts her father, one of a great many Jewish immigrants who moved to New York and wound up working in the garment district. Looming over the immigrant worker, the needle and button feel less whimsical and more menacingly oppressive.
Instagram post 2190159720554255168_2070318920 How amazing is this wedding dress from the Smithsonian National Museum of American History—it was made shortly after WWII — handmade by the bride — using the material from the parachute that saved the groom's life during his service in WWII. The design and workmanship are also ✨👌✨ #history #fashionhistorian #funfacts #talisman #weddingdress #handmade #remade

Instagram post 2151684087973221366_2070318920 Beautiful work and awareness-raising about an important issue that affects all of our society by @unskilledworker ・・・ Today is World Mental Health Day. Mental health problems hit almost everyone at some point in a life time. For me it’s been depression, most of the time I wasn’t really aware that anything was wrong, it just felt like nothing was right. I’ve been so lucky to have friends that helped me, at times they didn’t even know they were, little kindnesses can keep people afloat. Love is a verb ❤️ #worldmentalhealthday #unskilledworker

Instagram post 2114177456595447903_2070318920 📸via @vertigo.artography 🙌🙌🙌 Sewing, garment development truly are a journey, one that should be planned well but there will always be unforeseen pit stops, detours, and wrong turns along the way.
Instagram post 2096583150045174399_2070318920 QC time! Just as important as the cut and sew is the finishing and quality control portion of production. If a garment had loose threads, skipped stitches, or other QC issues that were addressed in development process it needs to go back in the line for repairs before being packed and shipped to warehouse. The TOP (top of production sample) is the gold standard by which the production is judged. All items shipped arrive to match the quality of the customer approved TOP sample.
