Remembering the Fashion
 
Complete Kit:   FS105 $300

This is a topic of perpetual interest, because fashion is, after all, an endless replay. What is in fashion now has been in before and will be out and then in again. Each generation chooses its own fashions and rejects another's. Hair, swimwear, shoes, and that one unforgettable outfit are all great topics for women and men to remember and talk about.

Remembering the Fashion complete kit comprises:

Media Presentation on DVD with 8-page Guide in Binder. "In Agony & Ecstasy" offers reflections on fashion as fashion offers reflections on our lives. (15 minutes) The DVD has subtitles.

Sing-Along Songs and Stories on CD with Guide in Binder. Seven sing-along songs: "Put on Your Old Grey Bonnet," "Where Did You Get That Hat?," "Alice Blue Gown," "Second Hand Rose, Itsy Bitsy . . .
