(OF ANOTHER FASHION has also been featured on the ETSY blog!) Please note that I have a limited supply. Tote bags (big and sturdy enough for books, groceries, and farmer’s market finds) are $10 each (plus $2 for shipping). And your submissions evidence that style and beauty of another fashion deserves to be preserved, studied, and celebrated. Your support underscores the significance of women of color’s fashion histories and practices. This is one of the reasons why mounting a physical exhibition is extremely challenging.ĭespite or rather because of these challenges, I wanted to mark this milestone of 104,000 followers by celebrating the online community that OF ANOTHER FASHION has brought together and which it continues to bring together. This is difficult, as I’ve noted elsewhere, given the general curatorial and critical neglect of women of color’s histories and experiences with regard to fashion.

(You can win one) She gave all of us our love of fashion, design, and clean lines. She had an eye for beautiful and classic designs, and looked beautiful each time she stepped outside into the world. She learned English quickly, and until she died loved fashion. The dress probably came from a factory that her brother owned called Margie Designs. Just two years after arriving, in her own words, she “blossomed”. While her trip was to New York was lonely and frightening, she was enormously grateful to them for bringing her to New York.

She was the youngest of six kids, and once her brothers made their way to New York, they struggled to bring her there. What is amazing about this photograph is the transformation of a girl who was orphaned at age six and raised by an assortment of extended family, friends, and strangers, with very little education and in extreme poverty.

I love this picture because her smile is brilliant and full of promise. My mother probably sent this photo to him in Korea while they were married and my father carried it around with him until he died in 2008. She was born in Utuado, Puerto Rico in 1936 so she would have been about 16 years old in this photo. It was probably shot in a photo studio in the Bronx, New York. This is a photo of my mother, Luz Celenia Perez-Velez in 1952.
