The fashion industry is always claiming to be celebrating and empowering women, even when designers seem more interested in humiliating the female figure with horridly ill-fitting clothes. Besides, during catwalk shows International Women's Day is more or less completely forgotten. So to restore some balance and refocus on International Women's Day, here's a picture from 1939 showing Italian dressmakers at work.
This post is dedicated not just to all women working or looking for a job, but to all women working in the fashion industry (mainly to the anonymous ones designing or working behind the scenes in ateliers and factories rather than posing and twirling for the cameras in front of fashion show venues…) and in particular to all those women who may have lost their jobs as a consequence of the many financial crises our world has been going through. Be strong and Happy International Women's Day.
