From Then To Now Women of the 1800's - Manet's Painting Olympia, Edgar Degas' Ballerinas, Alexandra Queen Of Denmark In the 1800s, the choker was the necklace of choice for women from almost every kind of social group.
The French painter Manet’s work, Olympia, focusing on a nude female figure with an empowered gaze wearing a ribbon around her neck, has been considered evidence of the choker being a symbol of prostitution.

San Fran teachers union lesson plan calls Trump racist, sexist. San Francisco's public schools have a mouthful for President-elect Donald Trump. The city’s teachers union has offered its members a lesson plan that calls the soon-to-be commander-in-chief a racist and a sexist who rose to power by “pandering” to his equally awful base. It’s unclear how many teachers plan to teach the sharply-worded lesson, which is meant to teach students about the election and encourage them to fight for equality. It was developed by Fakhra Shah, a Mission High School teacher, who wrote it as a way to help students struggling with the outcome of the election. “Let us please not sidestep the fact that a racist and sexist man has become the president of our country by pandering to a huge racist and sexist base,” Shah wrote in an open letter to teachers introducing the lesson plan. Wanda Sykes gets booed, goes on rant about Trump (graphic) "This is an anti-racist, anti-sexist, anti-Islamophobic (and) anti-homophobic philosophy," she continued.
With News Wire Services Tags: Dear white people: An open letter on race to Donald Trump’s supporters. Dear white Donald Trump supporters: Since Election Day, I have received a good many emails from some of you who voted for Donald Trump. A number of the emails have been crude. Others are celebratory and indulge in a bit of understandable political grandstanding because “your guy” won — and I can understand your taking a victory lap given Trump’s surprise victory. But what most of these emails have in common is a sense of hurt and anger from white folks about being called “racists” because they voted for Trump. It has forced me to do some hard thinking and deep reflection.
This disconnect is even deeper for those of us who write and think about race, politics and the general (white) public. So what is racism? It is common for people to define racism as the use of mean words or racial slurs. But racism is so much more. Most white folks will not admit to being a racist or holding any ill intent toward people because of their skin color. What about president-elect Donald Trump? “How dare you!

Michelle Obama isn’t the only first lady since Jackie O to use fashion to define her public persona. But she's indisputably the master. Nancy Reagan, Barbara Bush and Hillary Clinton all knew the importance of style when it came to establishing substance. Nancy used her signature ‘Reagan Red’ to show her patriotism, Barbara wore a pair of $29 shoes to her husbands' inaugural ball to demonstrate how down to earth she was and Hilary made the 'pant suit' her own, to show who wore the trousers.
But none of these women had a lasting impact on style and didn’t even come close to receiving style icon status like the late Jackie O. America had to wait until 2008 and the arrival of Michelle Obama to get their new Mrs Kennedy. With her polished image and incredible style, Michelle won over the hearts of the American public but there was a lot more to her than a set of toned arms and a nice frock. So how did she do it, and what will her fashion legacy be? In 2009 she won us over by wearing a J. Facebook to stop ethnicity-based targeting for some ads. Roma designer hopes fashion can build societal bridges | Otago Daily Times Online News. Transforming traditional flowery Roma patterns into bold, modern prints, designer Erika Varga aims to use fashion to increase acceptance of the Roma ethnic minority in Hungarian society. She launched Romani Design, Hungary's first Roma fashion label, with her younger sister Helena Varga six years ago. Since then her colourful, sometimes flamboyant, designs have won fans in Hungary, as well as in Brussels, Berlin, Paris and India, where she has also presented her women's and menswear collections.
Inspired by the traditional clothing of her rich Roma cultural heritage Varga (46) hopes fashion can fight stereotyping in society. Born in eastern Hungary, she was a jewellery maker before turning to clothes. She also worked for several years as a mentor to young Roma people - an experience that she says has had a profound influence on her mission now as a fashion designer. "We talked a lot about how important it is to find and live fully their Roma identity," she said of her mentoring work. Nana Tamakloe: Taking African fashion to the world - Features.
