“Certain anthropologists hold that man, having discovered tools, ceased to evolve biologically. Animals, never having discovered them, continue to fashion drills out of their beaks, oars out of their hind feet, wings out of their forefeet, suits of armor out of their hides, levers out of their horns, saws out of their teeth. Whether this be true or not, all authorities agree that man is the tool-using animal. It sets him off from the rest of the animal kingdom as drastically as does speech.” MenDoeCertainAnimalSawsFeetFashionSpeechAuthorityToolsAgreeWingsKingdomsTeethBeing TrueSuitsEvolveHumankindHornsArmorDrillsLeversAnthropologistsOarAnimal KingdomBeaksSuits Of Armor Author:Stuart Chase

“I'm really excited that the fashion industry is evolving, doing a much better job at representation, with women of color, women of different shapes, sizes, and creeds. It's been a long time coming... There were issues of tokenism, issues of misrepresentation. I'm optimistic that I see the change, the conversation that these archetypes gotta go. We can be very political and have long weaves down to our asses.” LongDifferentPoliticalFashionExcitedAssOptimisticEvolveRepresentationArchetypeFashion Industry Author:Solange Knowles
