Old-Timey Clothes

I love me some old-timey clothes. I recently discovered Of Another Fashion, which posts old photographs of women of color. I've been having lots of fun looking at all the pretty pictures.

There's quite a few photographs of women in the Japanese-American internment camps. I'm astounded at how well dressed they were. Look at this nurse. She looks like a movie star. And this photo shows a fashion show (!) at one of the camps.

About those fashion shows in the Japanese internment camps: it is more impressive because they made their own fashion clothes.

Some of the sharp, crisp, well-composed photos are by the famous photographer Ansel Adams.

The second photo on this page

is awesome.
