  • Wendy Fraser: Quant's Tights
    1 Modish and Modest: Mary Quant’s yellow nylon tights Wendy Fraser The object at Worthing Museum that drew my attention is displayed on the floor of a glass case in the Fashion Gallery. It is a pair of Mary Quant yellow tights in their original silver and black packaging with its iconic daisy logo, the centre of which reveals the colour of the product and is named ‘buttercup’ on a white daisy sticker on the pack (Fig. 1). The information on the packaging reads ‘Will fit most figures up to 102cm/40" hips. 100% nylon. Made in England.’ Shown alongside are two pairs of Wolsey and Kayser branded tights and their packaging with images of models wearing nude hosiery contrasts with the minimalist and youthful presentation of Mary Quant’s bright and trendy tights. Figure 1, Mary Quant 'One For All' buttercup tights displayed with Kayser and Wolsey tights. Worthing Museum. Photograph by author. 2 The tights sparked a memory from an author event held at University of Brighton’s Sallis Benney Theatre in 2015 where Linda Grant was discussing her novel The Clothes on Their Backs. I found an account of the story she told that night on her publisher’s website: Early one morning in the Seventies I stepped out to hitchhike from York to London and back in a day to buy a pair of tights. One type of tights alone was acceptable to me, I would have died rather than wear the flesh-coloured nylons of the day. Nothing would go on my legs but Mary Quant opaques which came in sizzling colours like purple, acid green, yellow and scarlet and as far as I knew, the only place you could buy them was in Liberty, in London.1 Worthing Museum has a number of pairs of stockings and tights in their collection, which shows a particular strength of the museum’s collecting practices in the representation of fashion in everyday life: practically all women have worn tights at some point in their lives.

  • Vertical Facility List
    Facility List The Walt Disney Company is committed to fostering safe, inclusive and respectful workplaces wherever Disney-branded products are manufactured. Numerous measures in support of this commitment are in place, including increased transparency. To that end, we have published this list of the roughly 7,600 facilities in over 70 countries that manufacture Disney-branded products sold, distributed or used in our own retail businesses such as The Disney Stores and Theme Parks, as well as those used in our internal operations. Our goal in releasing this information is to foster collaboration with industry peers, governments, non- governmental organizations and others interested in improving working conditions. Under our International Labor Standards (ILS) Program, facilities that manufacture products or components incorporating Disney intellectual properties must be declared to Disney and receive prior authorization to manufacture. The list below includes the names and addresses of facilities disclosed to us by vendors under the requirements of Disney’s ILS Program for our vertical business, which includes our own retail businesses and internal operations. The list does not include the facilities used only by licensees of The Walt Disney Company or its affiliates that source, manufacture and sell consumer products by and through independent entities. Disney’s vertical business comprises a wide range of product categories including apparel, toys, electronics, food, home goods, personal care, books and others. As a result, the number of facilities involved in the production of Disney-branded products may be larger than for companies that operate in only one or a limited number of product categories. In addition, because we require vendors to disclose any facility where Disney intellectual property is present as part of the manufacturing process, the list includes facilities that may extend beyond finished goods manufacturers or final assembly locations.

  • Uk Tights Size Guide
    Uk tights size guide Continue Normal tights vary in length but not in width, so it can be such a struggle to find tights that actually fit. Our tights are really different sizes, which means that they vary in height, width and around the waist to match each body shape. Just trace down your height and dress size to determine your Snag size. If you are between sizes go for a larger size.

  • Debenhams Reveal Increased Demand for Traditional Styles of Lingerie Submitted By: Pr-Sending-Enterprises Monday, 14 June 2010
    Debenhams reveal increased demand for traditional styles of lingerie Submitted by: pr-sending-enterprises Monday, 14 June 2010 Debenhams has revealed surprising new figures that show a sharp rise in sales of traditional lingerie styles, with the distinctive, alluring snap of stockings being fastened to a suspender belt becoming popular in Britain again for the first time in almost 50 years. Demand for the traditional style of lingerie is rocketing, reversing the universal popularity of tights which captured the market in the early 1960s. The unpredictable spring and summer weather, as well as a growing number of celebrities showcasing their stockings on stage and at star-studded events, may be behind the trend. Debenhams spokesperson, Ruth Attridge said: "Our British summer has started in the traditional way with frequent spells of sun and rain in the same day, leaving British women up in air about what to wear. "Stockings and suspenders (http://www.debenhams.com/women/socks-hosiery/suspenders-garters), just like leggings, have become the popular alternative to tights. They provide coverage for legs on an unexpectedly chilly day, but at the same time are cooler than tights and far more comfortable to wear in over heated City offices." Suspender belts effectively fell out of fashion with the introduction of self supporting tights in the decades after the war. Woman rapidly abandoned the mechanical nature of suspenders in favour of the new, easy-to-wear and wash hosiery (http://www.debenhams.com/women/socks-hosiery) style. Sleek tights also removed the suspender belt’s tell-tale clasp outline which frequently showed through tight outer clothing.
