Brother Can You Spare a Dime-a look at the factory age

Brother Can You Spare a Dime-a look at the factory age

Last night was the 6th Annual Milestone Fashion Show at the Newhouse School of Public Communications. The major organizing principle during the show was affordable fashion and thrift wear. The program (a collaboration between Newhouse and VPA) featured six sections divided into a 9 to 5/Work to Play theme.

Kudos to the students, who showed that fashion can be a barometer for the times and still be creative.
