Milwaukee Public Museum show explores relationship between Muslim clothing, identity
Since first opening its doors, the multifaceted complex that makes up Tula the Boutique has seen several renovations, including a candy and gelato store. The most recent addition to the store is the menswear, which has been in the works since the winter of 2013 and was released just three weeks ago. I feel like every purchase that we have is by chance because no one knows the menswear is there yet, Mesanko said. According to Mesanko, they are tentatively planning to hold a fashion show on Wednesday, July 16, that will not only showcase the new womens wear for the summer season, but also debut the new mens clothing lines. Mesanko said she is planning on having the grand opening of the store either the day before or the day after the menswear fashion show. In preparing for adding new clothing lines, whether for the womens or mens section of the store, Mesanko said she turned to a lot of different media outlets websites, magazines, television fashion showssuch asProject Runway and even European fashion shows to help narrow down to the unique styles she was looking for.

Dakutye's Story Thirty-year-old Dakutye Darcho, one of our borrowers, is a perfect example. When we ask her how she used her microloan she said she was eager to explain but couldn't stop working. So we meet in the hut that used to be her home and is now her "bakery." She is barefoot and wears torn clothes. While we talk, she makes round after round of injera, a sourdough flatbread with a spongy texture that is a national food here. The work requires her to rotate her arm in a circular motion over a pan as she stands above a fire that she constantly feeds with dried grass. Before her first $100 loan, Darcho and her husband served as middlemen for locally grown crops, usually maize and sweet potatoes, traveling to nearby villages to sell them in markets. When the loan came through, she began building a second home so the first could become her workplace. She, too, took out a second loan after paying back the first. She and her husband still sell the crops in nearby markets, but her family's financial mainstay has become her injera bakery business. "I can provide more nutritious foods and better clothes for my kids, and now I can buy their school supplies," said the mother of five children, who range in age from 6 to 21.

How different is designing for the stage from creating for the ramp? Designing clothes for theatre is very different from fashion. Fashion reflects the sensibility of the designer and mirrors a social movement, whereas a play or a film must showcase the period for the characters involved. Both are very different occupations. Since the play travels across two different periods, what kind of transition in costumes will the audience get to see? The sari drapes, the puff- sleeved blouses, the use of cotton and woven fabrics portray the dusky, sultry but independent-minded women of 19th century Bengal. The costumes define the characters in the play and give shape to each personality.

Guitars, song sheets, scribbled notes and handwritten lyrics are among the 250 artifacts. But by far the biggest attraction among visitors Sunday were the clothes.

"I talked to Jeremy and I said you know what if we paired up and we did this thing where you have the clothes here," said Ford. The idea, now called, XL2FIT lives inside 10-RM Fitness. Robinson said he never expected for a room in his private gym to turn into a closet full of women's clothing, but he knows losing weight is psychological just as much as it is physical.
