Ivanhoe manufactures and sells clothes for active people and several generations of experience and competence enable us to continuously develop both base and functional garments. The company was founded by Martin Göthager, and has since the 80’s been run by his three sons. Today the third generation - Anders, Anna and Karin - are the ones taking the business forward, with pride and high hopes for the future.

Obiko Art Wear Archive Project
TEXTILE ARTS COUNCIL FINE ARTS MUSEUMS OF SAN FRANCISCO OBIKO ART WEAR ARCHIVE PROJECT Feather collar by K.Lee Manuel “Electra” 1988. Photo: David Reese The Obiko ArtWear Archive documents and celebrates the work of Bay Area clothing and jewelry designers whose work was showcased at Sandra Sakata’s renowned boutique, Obiko. In the 1970s- through the 1990s, one-of-a-kind Art Wear blossomed in a culture that embraced global design. The influence of Asian and African ethnic costume and textile techniques is particularly evident in the aesthetic of this remarkable era. The archive includes a collection of designers’ work, four fashion shows, oral histories, photos and memories. The Textile Art Council hopes that the archive will be a great discovery and resource for future generations. © 2014 Textile Arts Council Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, all rights reserved | Design: Nancy Rosenblum, Frisco Graphics OBIKO ART WEAR ARCHIVE PROJECT TABLE OF CONTENTS 1.

One-of-a-kind wearables emerged on both the east and west coasts, drawing on an anti-fashion street style approach. Two seminal galleries, Julie:Artisans in New York City and Obiko in San Francisco, provided a showcase for this work. I began my career on the east coast in the late 60s during an extraordinary time consumed by nationwide political protests and self expression.

2019 Fall & Winter Collection
2019 FALL & WINTER COLLECTION A Note From The Designer At Callanan Hats, we know our customer and we design with her in mind. She has a timeless sense of style, portrayed in understated chic. I like to design hats that are beautiful and timeless, not over cluttered with excessive trims and ornamentation. I like clean silhouettes that enhance the wearer’s confidence and style. A Callanan hat should enhance and not distract from the wearer’s beauty. Since my first collection in 1986, I have never tired of introducing American ladies to the fun and mystique of wearing romantic hats. Be it at the beach or a special occasion, a Callanan hat adds a sense of je ne sais quoi. After graduating from FIT-Fashion Institute of Technology NYC in 1984, I had the great fortune of working on bespoke hats for NYC Opera’s repertoire like Rigoletto (1988), Broadway shows and movies like Working Girl (1988) with Melanie Griffith, Eight Men Out (1988), Sommersby (1993) with Richard Gere and Jodi Foster, The Birdcage (1996) with Robin Williams and Nathan Lane, to name a few. In 1995 Dorfman Pacific Hat Company acquired the Callanan label and it is an honor to present my 24th collection for them this year-2019. A hat is a very special accessory, it delivers instant glamor. Hats can say many things about the wearer from “look at me” to “leave me alone” as when they are used as shields by celebrities from the paparazzi. Wear them in good health!

Urban Preparation Kit, Part I, On-Body Kit
Urban Preparation Kit, Part I, On-Body Kit Outdoors-Magazine.com http://outdoors-magazine.com Urban Preparation Kit, Part I, On-Body Kit Schwert - Skills and guides - Bushcraft and Survival - Publication: Wednesday 6 October 2004 Description : Part I of this article covers the on-body kit designed to provide basic needs of shelter, warmth, water and communication in the event of an urban disaster. Copyright (c) Outdoors-Magazine.com under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non-Commercial-Share Alike License Copyright © Outdoors-Magazine.com Page 1/23 Urban Preparation Kit, Part I, On-Body Kit Preparation Philosophy My preparation philosophy relies both upon a set of useful tools and a related set of skills. Basic kit is carried/worn at all times with each item chosen to meet some supposed need in a likely urban scenario. I believe in what I call my "concentric ring" approach to kits. The inner ring is the basic on-body kit, the next ring consists of a coat/hat kit and my shoulder carry bag of items, the next ring is a desk kit, followed by car and home kits. As the rings expand, the kit items become either more numerous, larger or more specialized. The on-body kit is designed to meet basic needs of shelter, water and communication plus some specialized needs likely in my workplace. The larger kits include increased communications, better shelter, more capable and complete first aid etc all the way up to the home kit which includes CERT and RACES team gear (Community Emergency Response Team, and Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Service, more about these later).
