How good is denim? Timeless, trans- seasonal, always there waiting for you when there's nothing else to wear, the perfect match with a crisp shirt or a beautiful creative piece. How did we ever live without it?
Mum, hanging clothes 1950's
Babyboomers have seen many fashion trends - the evolvement of easycare fabrics which I considered ugly at first with crimpaline slack suits gradually giving way to stylish durable garments. 1950's women spent considerable time ironing and cleaning but things were changing. Dad was a gadget man, buying all the latest for Mum - two must-haves stood out - one was a potato peeler, a tap driven device, which agitated the potatoes over an abrasive surface and in doing so, took off the skins; and the other being the Ironette which every 50's domestic goddess needed in order to iron sheets, towels etc as you did in those days, even when you were living in reconstructed fibro housing.
Speaking of timesavers, Blogger does have Spellcheck which I just discovered - click on the ABC and a little drop menu suggests other alternatives. - but not for Crimpaline Are computers time savers or wasters?
Welcome to my journey as I photograph something I created everyday for a year... RRT
Hung Up On Denim...February 26th
Today's work was a collaboration with my good friend and artist, Karen Halt. We took my Tattooed denim and designed our first run of limited edition jeans. We look forward to many days ahead of being hung up on denim.
