<description><![CDATA[We’re all familiar with the narrative of denim, of how it became the clothing of choice of the workforce who made an industrialised nation of the USA in a couple of generations We’re also familiar with the way denim jeans became an item of fashion, rebellion and rock’n’roll garb that has remained with us to this day Quite impressive for what is essentially a material; folklore doesn’t treat its brothers and sisters so kindly...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[It’s a strange name, petticoat If you knew no better (for example if you were brought up in a colony populated solely by males) you might even think it’s something worn on the top half of the body like other coats But the word coat used to have a much more general meaning, namely clothing or covering, like the fur of an animal – and petit is a French word meaning small, which manifests itself in modern English as petty and petite...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[While sportswear doesn’t seem all that odd on men in a non-sporting context, it’s still relatively unusual on women It’s a strange thing, really, as both men and women engage in sport as participants and as spectators, so there shouldn’t be any more distancing in this respect Is it perhaps because women tend to have a few looks to pick from, whereas men tend to find a style they like and stick with it...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[One of fashion’s mysteries is why leather seems fine above the belt and below the ankles but crosses some threshold of taste when covering, or partially covering, the legs Leather trousers outside the realm of motorcycling can make a man or woman look like they are trying too hard to be sexy, associated as they often are with mid-life crises and propping up bars in Essex villages Cut away the legs and you’re left with leather shorts, epitomised by Bavarian slap-dancing and Alan Partridge’s fantasy lap-dancing...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[We take sportswear for granted nowadays to the point where only a fraction of the clothing made by the big sportswear manufacturers is actually bought for performing athletic activities Walk into a modern sports retailer and you’ll see hundreds of types and brands of trainers, tops, caps and trousers (and the occasional pair of shorts) that will probably never see a running track, football field or baseball diamondSo it’s fair to conclude that sportswear is now so ingrained in our modern fashion sensibility that we hardly notice it any more, even when we are wearing it...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Prehistoric survival required knowledge of approximate astronomy, largely based on knowledge of the location of north; at one time true north was not the North Star, but Cygnus, the swan constellation in the Milky Way This constellation is at the root of many bird mythologies, carried through time with oral tradition, mythologies, and children’s stories like Mother Goose The importance of this knowledge was preserved in symbol and in tradition – feathered cloaks, bird goddesses, and fairies wings are a few symbolic remnants...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[2012 is proving to be a record-setting year on the sheer quantity of Nostradamus predictions Beyond the Mayan end-of-the-world event, a shaky global economy, an upcoming presidential election, and a looming crisis in the Middle East combine to create a flourishing environment for prophecy In contemporary culture, the word "Nostradamus" applies to predictions of all types but this article will emphasize the real prophecies of Nostradamus, published in France during the 16th century...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Next time you’re in a vintage clothing store sliding your way through a pole of superb denim shorts, ponder this: many of them might have started life as an everyday pair of jeans, but some of them might have had even more exotic origins, such as being a denim jacket or a pair of dungarees And by the same reckoning, they might end their lives as a pocket or a button … but that’s probably too distressing to think aboutMaking a pair of shorts out of an old pair of jeans is a tradition that is probably about six months younger than that of jeans, such is the irrepressible urge to take scissors to your trusty legwear once the knees have gone through...]]></description>
