The Purest Thread

Under the cacophony of honking taxi cabs and revving engines, four inch stilettos pound the sooty streets between 5th and 8th Avenues on the East Side. It’s an average day in the New York Fashion District. Buyers, designers and fashionistas dressed to the nines hurry to and fro without making eye contact. They’ve come far and wide to shop and peddle the latest runway trends, hoping to set the bar for what the rest of us will be wearing next season.

The New Rules of Style

For centuries, fashion has been dictated by an elite handful of magazine editors, red-carpet critics and self-appointed trendsetters. With brazen authority, they tell us what colors to wear this season, which designers are hot and who is a fashion don’t. Keeping us in line, they’ve taught us how to dress like a lady, how long or short our hemlines should be and why wearing white after Labor Day is a no-no.

The textile has been traced back as far as the Dark Ages, appearing across numerous cultures and continents since then, including pre-Columbian Peru and Guatemala, 10th century Yemen, Japan, Indonesia, India and Uzbekistan.

With “Wolf 06,” and “Running Free,” master guitarist and composer John Sheldon offers a memorial tribute that he hopes will bring attention to senseless wolf killings. Last December, wildlife advocates were stunned when a hunter shot Wolf 06, the alpha female of Yellowstone’s Lamar Canyon Pack and the park’s most famous wolf.
