Respectfully, don’t shit on the arts. The clothing you are wearing today, your house, your furniture, your car, your phone, basically anything else that you use was designed by someone with a background in one of the arts. It is peoples literal jobs!
I'm not shitting on the arts, just pointing out the fact that these groups hide behind the arts to profit. Most of the things consumed are produced by compromised humans who are barely able to survive, while someone who profited off of that spends $75k for a photo opp and to feel admired.
Fashion History is Peoples lives! The Met saves & protects the Artistry of Clothing through history & hence the Millions of Clothing Fabric producers & artists.
Just like some people listen to the Best music see movies live in houses drive the best car they can afford
The compromised workers the fashion industry compensates for lower than poverty levels wouldn't agree. A $75k ticket is five years gross to those workers, and nothing goes back to help them. Then there's all the rest... https://daily.jstor.org/fashions-flaws/
How many well paid Workers worked on the exhibition? How many Seamstresses Beaders assemblers people who bought the fabrics people that had fabric to sell The people who wove it grew the fibers Made decorations
Then jobs for 100+ Ushers, limo drivers assistants hotel personnel
No they wouldn't agree. But if you are hungry & that's the work offered you take it to feed yr Family.
In the 1970s-90s We argued about solutions with some improvement BUT Fast Fashion is more evil as it pay Nothing
More $$ trickled down to the poorest in Asia then Republicans give here
There's lots & Lots of flaws in the Industry. I keep on my kitchen wall a picture from 1978 of 10yo Maria Sandoval & her siblings who she cared for the day, fixed family supper & then helped her Mom who already had worked 9hrs do piecework til 12

But:
The dress code for the event was interpretations of classic menswear and suiting, reflecting the tailoring and the history of dandyism within Black culture.
She looked beautiful, smart and kind, but could have REALLY shined.....
Lots do but have no fear, someday she will get a chance. Remember SHE actually won, but Democratic leadership caved when they should have investigated this treasonous act. Now they just sit around while the women and a few Democratic men are working overtime to fight for Democracy.FIGHT NOW NOT 2026
NEVER forget that Gaza was turned into a fucking parking LOT during the Biden Administration AND Trump is continuing indefensible genocidal US foreign policy.
There you have it—a real Lady who, instead of closing doors and isolating the country, like the pestilent felon, could have opened new doors and opportunities for all. What a shame that this country passed on this fabulous Lady.
She knew as a black woman, she had no chance even against a rapist felon, this country is too racist and misogynistic. She should’ve let an open primary instead. We got the orange clown because of stupidity and selfishness of people like her.
Yo. Kamala “When We Fight, We Fold” Harris.
She won.
WE made it happen for her. Worked our asses off in phone banks, zoom calls, knocking on doors, getting out the vote.
The Musk came along and stole it.
She just let him take it.
No audit. No recount.
Nada.
Never forgive her for that.
