It began as a royal land grant given to Sir Thomas West and his wife Lady Cessalye Shirley in 1613 and developed into the existing estate one can currently visit by 1725. The present day estate consists of the mansion itself and ten additional buildings set along a Queen Anne forecourt. These buildings include a Root Cellar, Pump House, two-story Plantation Kitchen, two story Laundry, Smokehouse, Storehouse with an Ice House below, a second Storehouse for grain, Brick Stable, Log Barn and Pigeon House or Dovecote. At one time the Great House was augmented by a North and a South Flanker: they were two free standing wings, 60 feet long and 24 feet wide and provided accommodations for visitors and guests. The North Flanker burned and its barrel-vaulted basement was converted into a root cellar and the South Flanker was torn down in 1868.

  • Thinking Through the Growth of the Fashion Design Industry in Kenya
    AFRICA ISSN: 2524-1354 (Online), ISSN: 2519-7851 (Print) Africa Habitat Review Journal Volume 14 Issue 2 (July 2020) HABITAT http://uonjournals.uonbi.ac.ke/ojs/index.php/ahr REVIEW 14(2) (2020) Thinking Through the Growth of The Fashion Design Industry in Kenya * Lilac Osanjo Received on 1st May, 2020; Received in revised form 19th June, 2020; Accepted on 29th June, 2020. Abstract This research aimed at investigating the foundation and environment that surrounded the government directive to the public to wear African clothes every Friday. It sought to unearth information on the status of the fashion industry in Kenya. Data was collected from media reports, internet sources and available literature coupled with information from the Kenya Fashion Council, in which the author serves as a council member. The findings indicate that Kenya, does not have a strong indigenous textile production history and depends on fabric mainly from West Africa; designers used cultural, style, handcrafted finishes and natural fabrics in their fashion products; and, government, models, institutions and red carpet events are important to the industry growth. The failure of the Kenya national dress was due to several factors, including omission of the Maasai shuka. The Kenya Fashion Council is expected to mobilize resources necessary to develop a vibrant fashion industry. Keywords: Fashion designers, African fabric, Kenya national dress, Maasai shuka, Kenya Fashion Council. INTRODUCTION and European markets coupled with influx of In October 2019, the Kenya Government issued cheaper second hand clothes imports. It was seen a directive that all public officers wear African that an organized fashion industry would see garments every Friday.

I’ve been reviewing what people suggest for wardrobe plans. The same items keep being mentioned as essential, many of which I never wear (Little Black Dress, blue jeans). And some of the things I always wear are never mentioned (lots of layers). Most of the plans aren’t relevant to other people round here either. (I did see someone wearing a black blazer ten days ago, though it was silk and unstructured. Yesterday there was an edgy one lined with stripes and worn with leggings. Not, I suspect, what the people who say you must have a black blazer are thinking of.) My reactions helped me recognise my priorities, so here they are in case they help you too. Of course wardrobe planning is more effective when you know your most flattering colours and shapes. And your personal style. And the needs of your lifestyle. And after a closet clear-out, so you only have things you love, which are flattering and in good condition.

  • 803 Black Markets, Foreign Clothing, Identity Construction In
    Volumen 10, Número 1 Otoño, 2018 Black Markets, Foreign Clothing, Identity Construction in Contemporary Urban Cuba Introduction Cuba is a fascinating island on which to conduct anthropological studies, as its exceptional political and economic situation has an enormous impact on Cuban people’s life. Due to the unique character of Cuba’s socialist governmental structure and policies, as well as the economic embargo imposed by the United States on Cuba, in combination with the economic hardship Cubans faced (and still face) after the collapse of the Soviet Union in the early 1990s. Many Cubans rely on remittances, gifts, and imported goods from abroad to fulfill their (basic) consumption needs. Nevertheless, a new generation of young Cubans seems to be paying more attention to obtaining consumer goods–such as fashionable clothes, shoes, and smartphones–from abroad. As black markets flourish on the island as a result of the tendencies stated above, it is worthwhile to study what kind of goods are wanted and available, how they are provided and obtained, by whom they are sold and bought, and with what objectives. Geographically, Cuba belongs to the world, but it does not economically and politically participate fully in it. In relation to globalization, I noticed while I was there that Cubans, especially young Cubans, imagine their island as participating in 803 Volumen 10, Número 1 Otoño, 2018 global economies and politics while concomitantly feeling fettered by the restrictions and limitations that the reality of their current socioeconomic organization presents. As Foucault (1967) described, “there is a certain kind of heterotopia which I would describe as that of crisis; it comprises privileged or sacred or forbidden places that are reserved for the individual who finds himself in a state of crisis with respect to the society or the environment in which he lives” (331).

  • British Regulars
    British Regulars The appearance of General Burgoyne's Army underwent a tremedous overhaul prior to their arrival at Ticonderoga in the summer of 1777. Their clothing was alterred due to events of the previous fall. In the fall of 1776 Captain John Paul Jones, patrolling the waters off the coast of Nova Scotia, captured the British merchant ship Mellish, destined for Canada and carrying much of the British Army's 1777 clothing supply. The capture of the Mellish would have profound effects on the appearance of the British Army in the following year. By the time General John Burgoyne assumed command of the army in early 1777, the regiments of his army were wearing clothing that was over a year old and had already seen an active season of campaigning. With no new clothing arriving for the troops by February 1777, steps were taken to modify and repair clothing for the upcoming campaign season. A General Order from Major General Phillips that appears in multiple orderly books at the beginning of February 1777 states: The Clothing for the several Regiments not being arriv'd, His Excellency the Commander in Chief allows the Commanding Officers of the Battalions to accommodate the present Clothing as shall be most convenient for the Men, and it is to be repaired so as to serve the Campaign until the new Clothing Arrives A subsequent order, noted in the orderly book of The Royal Regiment of Artillery in early March indicates further attempts at properly equipping the soldiers of the army for the upcoming campaign: 7th March, ...The Commissary to deliver to the Qr.
