There is nothing better than trying on a dress, skirt, jacket, heck anything you like and finding out it has just the right allocation of pockets. It’s a truth that’s been universally true for decades and there’s one woman who had a huge influence on our ability to have pockets, side fasteners and practical fabrics in the clothes we wear everyday - Claire McCardell.
This double zine features a snapshot of McCardell’s story and illustrations of some of her designs that have had the biggest impact. Images in this zine first featured in Illuminating Letters.
All profits from this zine go to the National Literacy Trust who are a charity that empower people with the literacy skills they need to succeed in life.
Printed on off white 150gsm textured paper. These zines are assembled, stamped and numbered by me in London.
