The Fabric Workshop and Museum is one of Philadelphia’s most avant-garde, lesser known, and free museums. It’s creative and fun. @visitphilly #Philadelphia #fashion #museum

These outfits are constructed entirely of U.S. one-dollar bills—450 of them to be exact. “As did people in ancient cultures, we wear our wealth,” the artist Ken Dawson Little observes.
Titled “Buck and Doe,” they were created in 1988 as part of artist’s FWM exhibition that presented different stages in an imagined American family’s class progression. These clothes represented the stage of prosperity. How do you feel this piece from 36 years ago resonates today?
See Buck and Doe on view now in #SoftCover.
