Collection No. 1 InTributeTo Our Mamas: The Time Before Our Time

InTributeTo is pleased to launch our inaugural Collection, Collection No. 1 InTributeTo Our Mamas, The Time Before Our Time. As a female founded studio, we set out to dedicate our first collection to the women that set the path before us.

Before they were our mothers, our Mamas participated in what came to be known as second-wave feminism in the United States. Whereas the initial feminist movement of the 19th and early 20th century focused mainly on a women’s right to vote, second-wave feminism broadened the conversation to a wider range of issues including sexuality, reproductive rights, and a woman’s role in the family and workplace.

As children of these women, we saw firsthand the work and sacrifice to achieve what we now take as commonplace. We dedicate this collection as gratitude for their journey, the role models in our lives, and the path all women create for their daughters.

She Get It From Her Mama

Collection No. 1 utilizes fashion as a reflection of culture, a physical embodiment of the experiences of a generation of women. The collection includes vintage clothing, jewelry, shoes, handbags, and a selection of objects from the mid 1970s to the 1990s.

The collection begins when our Mamas were in High School, including a 1970s turtleneck long sleeve, homemade prom dress. This piece demonstrates the frequency with which women designed and created their own clothing, resulting in one-of-a-kind garments. For our mothers it was a necessity due to lack of both monetary funds and retail options. With the influx of cheaper manufacturing methods and the fast fashion industry, the originality of this process is virtually non-existent today. Garment making is a skillset most women no longer learn.

As our Mamas became young professionals in the early 1980s, we see a reflection of the influx of females in the workforce with the fashion industry’s emphasis on women’s suits. Pants are predominate over dresses in the collection, bringing forth the power suit trends of menswear and oversized jackets. In 1983 as these trends became mainstream, the influence of designer Yves Saint Laurent’s Le Smoking suit was recognized when Saint Laurent became the first living fashion designer to be honored by the Costume Institute of the Metropolitan Museum of Art with a solo exhibition of his work. Le Smoking originally debuted in 1966, a tuxedo-style suit, controversial in a time when the perception of women wearing pants was considered scandalous.
