FEB from Maggie - Dior's collaboration with real people

 


It looks like Maggie is taking my advice to print the address clearly for the scanner. I should probably be noting how long it takes for envelopes to arrive - but we never know if there will be a clear date on the cancellation. This one looks pristine.

I took a couple weeks off from blog posting and have lost track of my add-ons. Apologies if this is a repeat. Also, it comes with an emphatic disclaimer that I do not share every perspective in this hour long documentary. The women's liberation movement was launched during my teen years and while I was not loud about any of the issues, I still have feelings and opinions....and this blog is not about issues. It's about art and design. [to be blunt - I have never cared for the work of Judy Chicago]

If you have an hour to kill and are interested in some unlikely collaborations between Dior and some women artists who were quite surprised when they were invited to collaborate in the world of fashion - you might enjoy this documentary. During the first half, it did not seem like something to share on the blog - but the second half has a couple artists who are delightful. They start around the 47 minute mark.

One of them (Isabella) didn't start her career until she was 50 and is now 94.
