Historical Jewish Fashion

A big thanks to Sarah, a reader from across the pond, for sharing the following:

“Since you write about loving fashion, I thought you might be interested in an exhibit I saw at the Jewish Museum in London. “Moses, Mods and Mr Fish: The Menswear Revolution” highlights 150 years of Jewish fashion design in Britain.”

Ok, London is too far for me to visit easily, but I still enjoyed looking at the downloadable leaflet with many historical designs. So cool! Tailoring was always a huge industry in the Jewish community and it has a special place in my heart because my great-grandfather was a tailor, originally in the Ukraine where he was born and then in Lawrence, Mass. after my family immigrated.

I also found an informative article from The New York Times with additional info and photos.

How blessed I am to have such generous readers that send me amazing stuff like this! You guys truly are the best.
