Thank you for Posting African American Fashion Designer Anne Cole Lowe Design pieces..... She has been OVERLOOKED for so many years.... I am glad she getting to RECOGNITION she DESERVES!!!!!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
this is an exquisite comparison. thank you for sharing
It’s also very important to mention that she was often lowballed and underpaid for her work because being a woman of color at that time people would tell you was that they could go to somebody else for cheaper and force you to take less money for all her hard work! She deserve to be a lot more well-known and she was!
Shame on you under paying that genius...
Pure Evil how others were treated.
Thank you. Such elegant and precise work. I hope the story about Jackie Kennedy helping Ann out in her latter years is true. She deserved so much more respect for her creations.
So nicely done. Great idea to compare two gowns - it makes it easy to see why two similar gowns can have subtle differences in craftsmanship and style. Thank you for this wonderful video!
Incredibly informative! I enjoyed learning more about Anne Lowe!
Thanks for presenting this great story.
Incredible!
Fascinating! I so enjoyed this
Aunty, we called her had so much White Shoulders perfume my family used it like water it was so many bottles they sent her.
If I had known of her importance as a child I would have taken pictures of her and what not but I didn't know her history.
I was in her house many times on Manhattan Avenue and she was blind.
Sad that her other family members that I knew didn't inform me about her significance in Fashion Coutre for the Rich and Famous and Elites.
This goes to show you that she wasn't arrogant but humble.
May the world recognize her talents now and her style is remarkable.
Oh Aunty, I didn't know you was a rare treasure in the Fashion world to the degree that you were. I just knew you as my Aunty.
Always a aura of class and perfection.
RIP QUEEN
Very interesting. Thank you.
White shoulders perfume my first at 15 teen ❤
Yes, thank you.
I am not sure you can call this a job. What a privilege and good for you .Good for us as well. 🌹
can't hear you
My volume is all the way up , and I can't discern one word being said . I would like to have heard this video. I don't know what is wrong .
Ann Lowe wasn['t appreciated at all ... I'm glad jackie kennedy life was miserable.. she had the nerve to say a colored dressmaker made it without even giving the name out ... pathetic . Just like many other black people who create pretty awesome things they will never receive the credit they deserve.
It's ironic that Miss Lowes' workspace was flooded with no recourse. During the Gilded Age, there was so much discrimination towards Black excellence until it yet wreaked from generation to generation. Thomas Edison would not have been so successful with his attribution and notoriety 8f it weren't for A Black Man who made the filament/conduit to "enlighten" "the invention". It would seem that at least one of the "high society" penchant would at least placate, 8f you will, the craftiness of Miss Lowe. There are far too many stories of Black inventors and innovators who either receive none, to little credit for their work until they are deceased, of at all. Dr. Vivian Sullivan received j7st a smathering of acknowledgement from his brilliance assisting, Pediatrician Blaloc in the historical Blue Baby 0henomen9n at the notorious John's Hopkins Clinic decades ago. Interestingly enough, this is the same hospital where Henrietta Lacks, no less cells were famously used without permission, or compensation for decades. There are countless stories of diabolical and inhumane acts of envy and excoriating accounts of tragic and uncanny cruel and unusual disrespect and punishment for being Black on planet 4arth, the world over. The disdain and disrespect for Black excellence speaks volumes to the wealth 9f some of the wealthiest Pele in the world, as to hiw they became, "FILTHY! "Rich, while the true conduits are hanging in the balance, 8f you will.
Volumne is too low
One of the worse curators that I think I’ve ever heard.
I enjoyed the historical presentation referencing Mrs. Love, but unfortunately this isn’t giving her much justice. Horrible job, Ann definitely deserves much better.
This presentation was pretty thorough but not professionally done at all!
