Our writers' group had a woman who worked in costuming in the film industry and walked in dressed, from the inside out, in Victorian cloths. She gave us a history of underwear. We're a romance group. :-) Actually, it was really informative about how fashion evolved.

I imagine that as a child, maybe the only people who he knew were respected were those who were feared, and since he was only 15 when he started his apprenticeship at Savile Row, he probably never had much time to do recovery work and realise that there were other ways of protecting oneself.

I got into it from visiting the Museum of Costume in Bath. Seeing dresses close up and the history of them is very interesting. I once saw an exhibition of the dresses Queen Elizabeth II wore during the 70s. There was a purpose behind each one, like, for instance, they would be made in the colours of the flag of the country she was visiting as an homage to that country. It was fascinating.

Like you I never really 'got' what he was doing or why; this post repositions my entire view of him. What I especially love is how what you've learned is turning into compassion in how you read others and their work.

I found your take on the exhibit to be thought provoking.<br />It almost makes me sad to think that he felt the only way he could protect himself (oneself) was to be fearsome. I want to be seen as strong, but I don't know if I want to rely on fear protect me. In some ways, it feels like it locks him in a relationship with fear. But, man, with the horror of his childhood, I can see why fear is the emotion he most closely associates. jessiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06399613921768190064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4064738625582104602.post-10918457369130705172015-03-26T23:06:25.565+00:002015-03-26T23:06:25.565+00:00Wow...

I do know it's a brutal business...perhaps that's why I don't like to follow it. I'm curious about his fashions now. Poor soul. Too young. It is a shame they don't mention his reasoning behind his fashions. Thanks for sharing this, Kara.Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07843239483061220089noreply@blogger.com
