Throughout history, fashion has provided the signage for social, political, and cultural changes within our society. From the fight for womens’ right to vote in the early 1900’s, through womens’ participation in both world wars, to the peace, anti-war and civil rights movements of the 1960’s, the womens’ liberation movement which progressed throughout the 1970’s, and the on-going struggle for gay equality, disability and environmental rights of the present day.
These often controversial battles for equality all have a common thread – iconic fashions or signs of the times which identify the cause and depict the generation. Presented by fashion historian, Ivan Sayers, Radical Rags – a live model fashion show- will showcase fashions which define social movements and cultural milestones from the early 1900’s to present day. Ivan Sayers will take us on a historical journey telling the story of how and why political activism became fashionable.
If you have yet to attend one of Ivan Sayers' fashion shows, this is an event not to be missed!
