Prints and historical references to prints are a large part of Prada's fabric research, and she draws on her archives, which include endless shelves of swatch books dating back to the 1800s and early 1900s as well as old fabric stocks that she has bought out and stored in warehouses in Tuscany. For fall 2003, Prada snapped up a huge lot of Art Nouveau and 1960s psychedelic prints from the Savile Row tie company Holliday and Brown, which she incorporated into men's and women's collections and then used for further inspiration, taking later copies of the prints...
...institution: Americans still love matrimony. We spend more than $50 billion a year on weddings. As the National Marriage Project at Rutgers in New Jersey has pointed out, "More than 90% of women have married eventually in every generation for which records exist, going back to the mid-1800s." Even the most extreme predictions for the current generation of women say that at least 4 in 5 will marry. What about all those women not living with a spouse?

One of Svestka’s first recruits was co-captain Nicholas...
Harvard students considering inter-disciplinary work need only look to Spitz’s analysis of the band’s formation to see a master at work. The book does not begin with the creation of the band. The narrative begins in 1800s Liverpool, mapping out the socioeconomic formation of the city. Spitz uses this setting as a platform to describe the historic Irish migration patterns that brought both the Lennons and McCartneys to Liverpool...
...good in roles. The play centers on Lady Windermere, a Victorian woman who leads a perfect life until receiving some unexpected news from a neighbor. Though Ritchie’s play is not an adaptation, she does put a spin on the time period, changing the setting from the 1800s to the late 1950s. A lot of the ideals in the play focus on being the perfect housewife and having the perfect reputation, which are very applicable to the late 1950s and early 1960s. I think that time period is very recognizable to people, either through pop culture or because...
