Vivienne Westwood Pirate Collection Top, Fall/Winter 1981 (detail)
Bringing anarchy to high fashion, Vivienne Westwood and Malcolm McLaren made their runway debut in 1981 with the Pirate collection. Westwood was inspired by 18th century painting and the “plundering of ideas and colors from other places and times,” from which the collection earned its name. From it developed the New Romantic look, the hallmark style of club culture in 1980s London.

Collection of Six Aprons: 1840-1900
Six aprons from the Tasha Tudor Collection of the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation. Tasha Tudor (née Starling Burgess, 1915-2008) was a writer and illustrator of children’s books, including Mother Goose and Corgiville Fair.
The idyllic, 19th century world she painted in her books was the lifestyle she pursued: for much of her adult life Tudor lived on New England farms, weaving, tending to animals, baking bread, and collecting, mending, and wearing centuries-old clothing.
