The Fabric Workshop and Museum is one of Philadelphia’s most avant-garde, lesser known, and free museums. It’s creative and fun. @visitphilly #Philadelphia #fashion #museum

Posting this on Black Friday for no real reason...

These outfits are constructed entirely of U.S. one-dollar bills—450 of them to be exact. “As did people in ancient cultures, we wear our wealth,” the artist Ken Dawson Little observes.

[The Fabric Workshop and Museum @fabricworkshop]

Titled “Buck and Doe,” they were created in 1988 as part of artist’s FWM exhibition that presented different stages in an imagined American family’s class progression. These clothes represented the stage of prosperity. How do you feel this piece from 36 years ago resonates today?

NEW ON VIEW | Robert Kushner’s “Dancers,” 1977

FWM’s first Artist-in-Residence both printed and hand-painted figures on a fabric banner. He then fixed materials from his past costumes to enhance the rhythmic effect of his composition.

We’re wrapping artist Betye Saar, who turns 98 today, in a virtual birthday hug! The CA native’s prints are notably concerned with spirituality, cosmology, and family. In 1984, she worked closely with our Studio to create a duvet: “Takin’ A Chance on Luv”
