"Wearing badges is not enough . . ."

. . . but I've always had a soft spot for this one:

Now, where can I find a button hole?

Mention of the SPGB badge in the comments to this old post from Alan J's blog.

Slaves of New York (1989)

Bah! I was wearing this outfit 32 years ago.

From the BBC website's 'Day In Pictures'

A model displays an autumn/winter collection by designer Kazuaki Takashima, at a Tokyo fashion show.

Morphing into a fashion blog?

Rebel chic has had its fifteen second airtime on the blog so, for balance purposes, it's only fair that I link to this weekend's New York Times Magazine fashion spread featuring Kerry Washington meeting (some of) the Presidential candidates.

Radical Chic

Socialism back in fashion? Or rather, socialism in the back of the fashion pages? As it should be.

Found in the latest issue of Arthur Magazine, is a four page photo spread entitled RED SCARE! which, according to the blurb, is: "A glance back at early 20th century radicals Louise Bryant and John Reed–an essay with clothes. Styling by Jaclyn Hodes, photography by Annabel Mehrain."

Being the fashionista that I am, I immediately recognised that Hat tip to Kara for spotting that Built By Wendy is heavily represented in the feature. She can spot a Wendy Mullin creation at 400 paces.
