Fashion functions as a reflection of the times that we live in, which is why it should come as no surprise that sartorial choices can be extremely political.

Michelle Obama’s embrace of young American designers of color like Tracy Reese and Jason Wu during her two terms as First Lady or Melania Trump’s choice to wear a dress to the RNC by Roksanda Ilincic, viewed as a nod to how Ilincic’s Serbian background paralleled Melania’s own Slovenian upbringing.

As far as FR......I have no desire or want to bring in liberal ideology. I respect this forum for what it is & what it stands for & it has made me look at things in a completely different light. I would say it was one of the main sources for my political change.

That's wonderful to hear! All the best to you as you continue on. I was in my 40s before I woke up from "default liberalism." It's a long time in my rear-view mirror now.

Thank you. I have privately mailed manic, but wanted you to be aware that I indeed regret substituting being a grammar monster when I could have made my point & eventually agreed to disagree.
