Cloth, Fashion and Revolution 'Evocative' Garments and a Merchant's Know-How: Madame Teillard, Dressmaker at the Palais-Ro
CLOTH, FASHION AND REVOLUTION ‘EVOCATIVE’ GARMENTS AND A MERCHANT’S KNOW-HOW: MADAME TEILLARD, DRESSMAKER AT THE PALAIS-ROYAL By Professor Natacha Coquery, University of Lyon 2 (France) Revolutionary upheavals have substantial repercussions on the luxury goods sector. This is because the luxury goods market is ever-changing, highly competitive, and a source of considerable profits. Yet it is also fragile, given its close ties to fashion, to the imperative for novelty and the short-lived, and to objects or materials that act as social markers, intended for consumers from elite circles. However, this very fragility, related to fashion’s fleeting nature, can also be a strength. When we speak of fashion, we speak of inventiveness and constant innovation in materials, shapes, and colours. Thus, fashion merchants become experts in the fleeting and the novel. In his Dictionnaire universel de commerce [Universal Dictionary of Trade and Commerce], Savary des Bruslons assimilates ‘novelty’ and ‘fabrics’ with ‘fashion’: [Fashion] […] It is commonly said of new fabrics that delight with their colour, design or fabrication, [that they] are eagerly sought after at first, but soon give way in turn to other fabrics that have the charm of novelty.1 In the clothing trade, which best embodies fashion, talented merchants are those that successfully start new fashions and react most rapidly to new trends, which are sometimes triggered by political events. In 1763, the year in which the Treaty of Paris was signed to end the Seven Years’ War, the haberdasher Déton of Rue Saint-Honoré, Paris, ‘in whose shop one finds all fashionable merchandise, invented preliminary hats, decorated on the front in the French style, and on the back in the English manner.’2 The haberdasher made a clear and clever allusion to the preliminary treaty, signed a year earlier. -

Department of Commerce National Bureau of Standards PROMULGATION of COMMERCIAL STANDARD CS135-46 for MEN’S SHIRT SIZES (Exclusive of Work Shirts) On March 2, 1932, a general conference of manufacturers, distribu- tors, and users adopted a recommended commercial standard for men’s shirts (exclusive of work shirts). This recommended commer- cial standard was not officially accepted, but was made available for distribution upon request. The standing committee reviewed subse- quent comment, and prepared a revised draft, which was circulated for written acceptance on October 28, 1938. This draft was accepted by a large portion of the trade. After further review and considera- tion, a sufficient number of signed acceptances were received from manufacturers, distributors, and users to justify promulgation by the United States Department of Commerce, through the National Bureau of Standards. The standard is effective for new production from July 15, 1946. Promulgation recommended. F. W. Reynolds, Acting Chief, Division of Trade Standards. Promulgated. E. U.

Minor League Presidents
MINOR LEAGUE PRESIDENTS compiled by Tony Baseballs www.minorleaguebaseballs.com This document deals only with professional minor leagues (both independent and those affiliated with Major League Baseball) since the foundation of the National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues (popularly known as Minor League Baseball, or MiLB) in 1902. Collegiate Summer leagues, semi-pro leagues, and all other non-professional leagues are excluded, but encouraged! The information herein was compiled from several sources including the Encyclopedia of Minor League Baseball (2nd Ed.), Baseball Reference.com, Wikipedia, official league websites (most of which can be found under the umbrella of milb.com), and a great source for defunct leagues, Indy League Graveyard. I have no copyright on anything here, it's all public information, but it's never all been in one place before, in this layout. Copyrights belong to their respective owners, including but not limited to MLB, MiLB, and the independent leagues. The first section will list active leagues. Some have historical predecessors that will be found in the next section. LEAGUE ASSOCIATIONS The modern minor league system traces its roots to the formation of the National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues (NAPBL) in 1902, an umbrella organization that established league classifications and a salary structure in an agreement with Major League Baseball. The group simplified the name to “Minor League Baseball” in 1999. MINOR LEAGUE BASEBALL Patrick Powers, 1901 – 1909 Michael Sexton, 1910 – 1932 -
General Admission
General Admission Professional Baseball in Louisiana by S. Derby Gisclair Member, Society for American Baseball Research Baseball has been played since the 1850’s throughout Louisiana, but it was not until 1887 that the New Orleans Pelicans became the state’s first professional baseball club. New Orleans still hosts a professional baseball team – the Zephyrs of the AAA Pacific Coast League. But New Orleans is not the only city to sponsor professional baseball. In fact, twenty cities throughout Louisiana have hosted professional teams over the years. They played in a total of fourteen different leagues covering the spectrum from independent leagues to Class AAA. In 1895 Shreveport became the state’s second city to promote professional baseball when the Shreveport Grays took the field in the Texas-Southern League. Although they finished in fourth place and disbanded in early August before the season finished, Shreveport would become a major hub of professional baseball and remains so today with the Shreveport Sports of the Class AA American Association. Baton Rouge became the state’s third city to have a professional baseball franchise when the Baton Rouge Cajuns in the Cotton States League finished the 1903 season 53 – 54 (.495) in second place, just 2-1/2 games behind the Natchez Indians. From the six teams that made up the Louisiana State League which operated for a single season in 1920, to the Dixie League which operated between 1933 and 1935, to the better known Cotton States League, the Evangeline League, and the Southern League (later reformed as the Southern Association), cities across Louisiana fielded teams and captured their share of league championships. -

On view in Norell will be approximately 100 ensembles and accessories from MFIT’s permanent collection, as well as a compelling selection of objects borrowed from the stellar private collection of Kenneth Pool. The exhibition is organized by Patricia Mears, MFIT deputy director, and designer Jeffery Banks, guest curator. The exhibition emphasizes key Norell designs that were developed early on and remained constant throughout his career. Many examples of his day and evening wear are on view. These garments, accessories, and related objects are organized thematically to illustrate the range of Norell’s extraordinary output and the consistently outstanding quality of work produced by his atelier. Although some of the objects date back to the early 1930s, most were designed during the last 12 years of Norell’s career—from 1960 to 1972. This phase is notable because Norell bought out his investors in the 1960s, and from then on, his name alone appeared on his label. It also was arguably his most Photograph by Milton H.
