Running Head: The Evolution of Brassiere in the 20th Century 1 The Evolution of Brassiere in the 20th Century Jolene Khor Western Michigan University The Evolution of Brassiere in the 20th Century 2 Abstract It is common knowledge that a brassiere, more widely known as a bra, is an important if not a vital part of a modern woman’s wardrobe today. In the 21st century, a brassiere is no more worn for function as it is for fashion. In order to understand the evolution of function to fashion of a brassiere, it is necessary to account for its historical journey from the beginning to where it is today. This thesis paper, titled The Evolution of Brassiere in the 20th Century will explore the history of brassiere in the last 100 years. While the paper will briefly discuss the pre-birth of the brassiere during Minoan times, French Revolution and early feminist movements, it will largely focus on historical accounts after the 1900s.

    Tuesday, February 2 Cipriani 42nd Street, NYC In the wake of the devastation brought about by the earthquake that leveled much of Haiti, the Underfashion Club has financially supported the efforts of Doctors Without Borders to provide emergency medical care to the survivors. Additionally, we applaud the efforts of so many other organizations, including K.I.D.S. (Kids In Distressed Situations,) a 25-year-old charity that has mobilized the apparel industry and already raised more than $6 million in products (clothes, socks, underwear and blankets) for the men, women and children of Haiti. Their efforts are ongoing and, in the months to come, as that country rebuilds and the news media departs, there will continue to be a need for a variety of items donated by manufacturers and retailers.

  • Council of Fashion Designers of America
    Council of Fashion Designers of America ANNUAL REPORT 2017 The mission of the Council of Fashion Designers of America is to strengthen the impact of American fashion in the global economy. B 1 Letter from the Chairwoman, Diane von Furstenberg, and the President and Chief Executive Officer, Steven Kolb In fashion, we respond to the world we live in, a point that was powerfully driven home in 2017. We were excited to see talents with broad cultural backgrounds and political ideas begin to express their experiences and beliefs through their collections. Diversity moved into the spotlight in ways we have never seen before. Designers embraced new approaches to business, from varying show formats to disruptive delivery cycles. It was also the year to make your voices heard, and CFDA listened. We engaged in civic initiatives important to our industry and partnered with Planned Parenthood, the ACLU, and FWD.us. We also relaunched our CFDA Health Initiative with guidelines to help those impacted by sexual assault or other forms of abuse. There’s no going back. In 2018, CFDA is moving ahead at full speed with an increased focus on inclusivity and women in fashion, the latter through an exciting new study with Glamour magazine. We may be a reflection of the world we live in, but we also work hard to make that world a better place. Altruism, after all, never goes out of style. 3 CFDA STRENGTHENED PILLARS WITH MISSION-DRIVEN ACTIONS MEMBERSHIP Fashion Professional Fashion Civic+ Retail Partnership Week + Market Development Supply Chain Philanthropy Opportunities SUSTAINABILITY INDUSTRY ENGAGEMENT SOCIAL AND EDITORIAL MARKETING AND EVENTS KEY UNCHANGED MODIFIED NEW PROVIDED INITIATIVES RELEVANT TO DESIGNERS EMERITUS AT EVERY STAGE OF CAREER DESIGNERS • Board Engagement • Philanthropy and Civic ICONIC Responsibility DESIGNERS • Mentorship • Editorial Visibility • Board Engagement • Fashion Week • Philanthropy and Civic ESTABLISHED Responsibility DESIGNERS • Mentorship • Editorial Visibility • NETWORK.

    “The first thing you notice about David Breskin is that he’s got chops up the wazoo and is fabulously intelligent. It may take longer to start seeing through his fierce and faceted eye or to notice how many of our lived-in worlds it sees in all their dazzle of simultaneity and fact. This is poetry in which the intimate and public worlds do not exclude each other but mutually refract their signs and lights, and where even the self on which the world imposes its unrelenting politics can earn, with ingenuity and effort, its meed of radiance.” —Rafi Zabor, author of The Bear Comes Home, PEN/Faulkner Award Winner “In David Breskin’s Escape Velocity, ferocity and speed don’t preclude clarity of critique, and the tectonic instabilities of metaphor’s capacity for disruption is married to a clarity of focus, producing a vivid, Baroque pageantry that defies chronology in favor of synchronicity, that gives us panoramas of wrecks. Rare to find poetry that is so confrontational, so avid to go to the hot spots, to risk being brutal in the service of truth while preserving such formal elegance. Unflinching, these poems roar like Cassandra with disastrous moment: it’s a transfixing sound.” —Dean Young, author of Skid “David Breskin’s Escape Velocity is torqued with rage at the world as he finds it, ‘a micro avalanche of each soul’s presence.’ With formal precison and clarity, he elucidates the sorrows of our times, an unflinching and brave indictment of the spoils of life’s wars, both personal and political.

The ease with which the grocery supply chain can now be managed through software and mobile devices has driven an explosion of invest- ment in food and grocery e-commerce startups—close to $500 million in the past year. That’s helped spawn growth in the farm-to-table niche—and in its East Coast epicenter, Brooklyn. Competition has grown so intense among local-food delivery firms and entrenched players like FreshDirect that one Brooklyn startup, Farmigo, recently switched its focus from the boroughs to the suburbs. Experts say a historic shift in the formerly sleepy sector is taking place as a result of new technology meeting pent-up demand. “Distribution has always been the biggest problem for the local-food movement,” said Carlotta Mast, senior director of content at New Hope Natural Media, which covers the natural foods industry.
