Ultimate in elite fashion? Gorgeous, but poor Kingfishers!

In the 1930s in the United States, sacks containing flour and grain were made of cloth, primarily cotton. The Kansas Wheat company, in the midst of the Great Depression, realized that the poorest families were reusing them to sew dresses for women and girls, so to make them more captivating they decided to print them with floral and colorful motifs.
The initiative was a huge success: they made sure that the ink used for the logos would fade after a simple wash, and some bags even had the patterns already drawn on the fabric, ready to be cut and sewn.
A marketing tactic that helped American families get through a particularly difficult period, also useful as a source of income for women who would later sell their recycled models

“So many people who are leaders in our industry have little or no training or support in these challenging roles. Leadership training is rarely a key feature of film school curriculum, nor are there opportunities to upskill in a largely freelance workforce. This report highlights the importance of leadership development given we found only 7% of leaders are trained in a screen-specific context”. Jo Briscoe

This is Bungaree. He was the first recorded indigenous person to circumnavigate Australia, travelling with Matthew Flinders & acting as an interpreter & facilitator with tribes they encountered. He is incidentally the first person to be described in print as “an Australian”. He was a clever man who made the best of what life handed him, & he deserves to be more widely known. But let’s have lots of monuments to Cook instead.
