History of Fashion "Backstory" program

[Better Dresses Vintage]

Listened to this fascinating broadcast (it's a repeat, turns out) on NPR during my drive home from the lake yesterday. Had to turn the radio on in the kitchen when I arrived, so I wouldn't miss the last few segments. Enjoy ...

[Metro Retro Vintage]

Liza, I just finished listening to the second half of the program this evening -- having listened to the first part earlier today -- and it was very interesting. I especially enjoyed the story about the raccoon coats and the Saltzmans' clever marketing, starting what would become the vintage clothing craze.

Thank you for sharing this link. Should you catch other similar broadcasts, please give a heads up.
