Travel without an organized group is possible, but takes some advance planning (and a diplomatic note to the government), and usually the government will still send an armed security escort."

There isn't much in the way of street crime here, though, so you can walk at night and not worry too much. Pertti Hamalainen Housing: Our housing is through the school. Most of us have nice houses, but a few singles and young married couples have apartments. Most people seem happy with their housing. International schools: I teach at the QSI school in Sana'a, and both of my children also attend there. We have loved working here and are very pleased with the education our children are receiving. As the security situation has worsened in the last year, the school population is largely comprised of Yemeni students, with a handful of Europeans thrown in. The only American kids are the students of other teachers. There are other schools in the area, though, including a French and a British school. I don't know much about them. Preschool/daycare available: QSI also has a very nice preschool. My kids are older so I don't have direct experience with it, but the families who I have spoken with are very pleased with the school. If you have younger children, Ethiopian guards and maids are easy to find and will happily watch your children. You may need to interview a few before you find what you are looking for, but if you persist you will probably be very happy with your childcare arrangement. What accommodations do schools make for special-needs kids? It depends on your child's needs. QSI only teaches in English, but we have a good Intensive English program. If your child has moderate to severe learning disabilities, all bets are off. I know of no school in Sana'a that has any sort of special education program. Is this a good city for families/singles/couples? We have been very happy here. Yemen is a giant adventure, and we have found plenty to do. There are several single teachers at our school that are also doing well. It depends on who you are and how adventurous you feel. There are opportunities to meet other westerners if you like, or, as some of our teachers have, take up Arabic and mingle with locals. From what you have heard, is it a good city for gay or lesbian expats? Again, it depends. Hand holding and affection between males is very, very common here. Not so much between women, though. But it is also a conservative Muslim country. If you were here with a partner, you would need to be very discreet, but I don't think the situation would be unmanageable. Are there problems with racial, religious or gender prejudices? There definitely are tensions between Arabs and Africans, with Yemenis having a tendency to look down on the Ethiopian and Somali refugees flocking into the country. There are no Christian churches, but there are dozens of fellowship groups that meet in private homes. I have never heard of any Christians feeling discriminated against here because of their religion. On the other hand, I do have Christian friends who feel oppressed because of the call to prayer five times a day. It doesn't bother us much, though. It is a little hard being an uncovered western woman in Yemen. This is not Saudi---women do not HAVE to cover---but I get stared at quite a bit because virtually all Yemeni women are covered to some degree, including their faces. If you smile and wave, usually Yemenis will smile and wave back. I may be naive about this, but the idea of wearing all that black is really depressing, so I don't. That said, I am frequently invited (with my husband, of course) to join men lunching on the streets. I don't feel like the staring is hostile, just that I am an oddity. What difficulties would someone with physical disabilities have living in this city? Well, the sidewalks are terribly uneven and the driving is insane. If you were in a wheelchair or had visual problems, you would probably be in serious danger. Interesting/fun things to do in the area: Tons, really. When the security situation is not so severe, there is lovely hiking not too far from the city. Of course Old Sana'a is always good for a stroll and some shopping. There are interesting networks of people here that are meeting online more and more often. The British club is back open again, so if you have a friend with a UK passport you can join. My friend met a guy on Flickr and went off taking pictures around Yemen. There is an expat orchestra that is really fun. I have read all the negative "no bars, no cafes, no cinemas" about Yemen, and for the most part, that's true. However that doesn't mean there is nothing to do. It just depends on how creative you are. Are gyms or workout facilities available? Yes, through the school and the hotels. The Sheraton and Moevinpick Hotels also have lovely pools. Are sports programs available for kids? Yes, through the schools. My daughter also takes ballet with a local Ukranian dance teacher. You can take tennis lessons through the Sheraton. What fast food and decent restaurants are available? Cost range? If you like shwarma and kebabs, this is the place for you. Delicious, and dirt cheap. Two favorite Yemeni dishes are salta and fahsa, which you eat with fresh bread. There are also lots of Yemeni restaurants on Hadda Street. Some of the best feature roast fish and bread. There is delicious Indian and Chinese as well. If you must, there is a KFC and a Pizza Hut. But they're expensive, and frankly, did you come all this way to eat crappy American fast food?? What is the availability (and the relative cost) of groceries and household supplies? Depends entirely on how western you need to eat. The produce markets are great and very cheap. Meat from local butchers is also reasonably priced. A kilo of ground meat is about $5.00. However, gigantic, fresh, cleaned shrimp are about $9.00 a kilo. A kilo of fish that is similar to grouper (called hamour in Arabic) is about $5.00. Fish is really your best bet here- it's as good as any you will find and the prices are great.

I hope for my graduate collection to be viewed as an exhibition. It is a halt in time, to capture and re-tell memories that are held within clothing. I have specifically placed focus on personal family stories since the Chinese Cultural Revolution (1966-1976). The collection objectifies and presents the experiences of three generations within my family: from my Popo (paternal Chinese grandmother) to my Baba (father), and also me. I have designed garments which cross classical fashion boundaries, steering from what usual connotations of ‘fashion’ are, and instead functioning across both commercial and non-commercial contexts. The collection should be appreciated as a build-up of memories and experiences coming together with the present in both wearable and scultpural ways; to be appreciated whether it is on a living and moving body or not.

  • 2019 Proceedings Las Vegas, Nevada
    Las Vegas, Nevada 201 9 Proceedings Art is the Flower, Life is the Green Leaf Erin French, Iowa State University, USA Keywords: Quilt, art, Mackintosh, Scotland Contextual Review and Concept Submission context. Charles Rennie Mackintosh (1868-1928) was a Scottish architect, interior designer, and artist who designed the Glasgow School of Art (GSA) building (Macaulay, 2010). The GSA as an institution of higher education and as a building made a major contribution to a unique visual movement known as the Glasgow Style, which was characterized by forms found in nature such as roses, seeds, and leaves as well as by its emphasis on linearity through vertical lines, elongated forms, and repeated squares (Euler, 2008; Wood, 2004). Nearly a century after Mackintosh’s death, his design, buildings, and artwork continue to inspire fashion designers, fabric designers, and fiber artists. Within the past 10 years, collections by Giorgio Armani, Christopher Kane, and Issey Miyake have featured garments influenced by Mackintosh and the Glasgow Style (Blank, 2010; Blank, 2015; Mower, 2018). Campbell (2008) created a kimono from digitally printed fabric that was inspired by Mackintosh’s fabric designs and the GSA building. In terms of fiber arts, Wood (2004) demonstrated how the major motifs of Mackintosh’s work could serve as inspiration for embroidery designs. I studied, lived, and worked in the Glasgow area for five years and was granted library privileges at the GSA as I studied for my master’s degree. These experiences led me to form an intellectual and emotional bond with the GSA building that moving back to the United States did not break.

Textile design is a creative field that fulfills a variety of purposes in our lives such as our clothing, carpets, drapes, towels, and historically wall coverings. The creations of patterned textiles are not only important for their use, but also for the role they play in the fashion industry. Textile designers have the ability to inspire collections, trends, and styles. The textile industry, while being a creative art form, is a very business savvy industry. Textile designers marry a creative vision of what a finished textile will look like with a deep understanding of the technical aspects of production and the properties of fibre, yarn, and dyes.

Prior to WW2 the operation of the tugs and barges was transferred to Thomas Claydon (Paddington) and soon after the war it ceased altogether as dumping in landfill was no longer acceptable in the area. With the nationalisation of the waterways in 1948, the fleet were transferred to the new British Waterways Board and all the craft were repainted in BWB colours.

  • Austerity Fashion 1945-1951 Bethan Bide .Compressed
    Austerity Fashion 1945-1951 rebuilding fashion cultures in post-war London Bethan Bide Royal Holloway, University of London Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Figure 1: Second-hand shoes for sale at a market in the East End, by Bob Collins, 1948. Museum of London, IN37802. 2 Declaration of authorship I Bethan Bide hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Bethan Bide 8 September 2017 3 Abstract This thesis considers the relationship between fashion, austerity and London in the years 1945 to 1951—categorised by popular history as a period of austerity in Britain. London in the late 1940s is commonly remembered as a drab city in a state of disrepair, leading fashion historians to look instead to Paris and New York for signs of post-war energy and change. Yet, looking closer at the business of making and selling fashion in London, it becomes clear that, behind the shortages, rubble and government regulation, something was stirring. The main empirical section of the thesis is divided into four chapters that explore different facets of London’s fashionable networks. These consider how looking closely at the writing, making, selling and watching of austerity fashion can help us build a better understanding of London fashion in the late 1940s. Together, these chapters reveal that austerity was a driving force for dynamic processes of change— particularly in relation to how women’s ready-to-wear fashions were made and sold in the city—and that a variety of social, economic and political conditions in post- war Britain changed the way manufacturers, retailers and consumers understood the symbolic capital of London fashion.
