    Speaking of revolutions, you almost can’t talk a Speaking of revolutions, you almost can’t talk about fashion history without covering race, how the fashion industry treats POC, and how POC used fashion throughout history. And @pslinks gets to that just a few pages into a new book she edited and co-wrote, The Women Who Revolutionized Fashion.

You’ve got my weekend off to a great start. . . #fashionhistory #fashionbooks #indykeepscreating #indianapolis #blackartistsmatter
