Vintage Statement Pieces I'd Grab if I had a Time Machine- This Caftan

Posted on 7:55 PM by ergeg
Ruth Ford, where to begin- I became interested in her after acquiring a necklace that belonged to her. But that is another story. My focus here is on statement pieces and this article is too short to address her life but this model and actress born in 1911 has an interesting story and died at 98. Long time resident of NYC's the Dakota, where she entertained many creative and famous guests, she was described as a beauty and a muse. In this image...

The Brooch- Not Your Granny's Sweater Pin

Posted on 12:03 PM by ergeg
Vintage Pins: A Trend to TryWhen we think of pins and brooches one may think of grandma or the Victorians. However; the pin trend really has begun to pick up some speed. Wearing pins has been something humans have done for centuries and represent some one of the oldest ways to decorate the body. Greeks and Romans used them to fasten their clothing and these fibulas were very functional. Celts produced some beautiful examples as well with wonderful...

African American Women, Fashion, and Photographs

Posted on 8:19 AM by ergeg
African American women have been adding to, participating in, and influencing fashion and style in the United States for many years. We only really begin to see Black high fashion models in the late 80's, although women like Lena Horne were paving the way in mainstream media and entertainment much earlier. Women of color have often been looked over in the fashion industry and their history in terms of clothing and jewelry could be highlighted more. As...

Posted on 11:41 AM by ergeg
This image was taken around 1870 during the early years of photography. It is not know if the photographer was Tancrede R Dumas but it is suspected to be his work. Her overall look is interesting and if we think to the styles of the 1970's, honestly this outfit could fit right in. I love the stripped tunic and her jewels!...

Appreciating, Understanding and Wearing Native American Jewelry

Posted on 12:58 PM by ergeg
Many people own some form of Native American Jewelry, and such pieces have been in fashion for years. However, many people do not understand how the many designs relate to the specific symbols, beliefs and aesthetics of particular tribes and artists. Another aspect is the use of older pieces with no appreciation of them as anything other than matching an outfit. I will focus on the southwest and sterling pieces due to their popularity. However,...
